  1. I found a Jag for 325 with 3 games.  I don't even have a job yet!  There's no way I could afford it.  That same store sells the Atari 2600 Jr for $75 so they just love to grab your money.  They told me that they replace capacitors and clean the systems inside, but the first 4-switch I bought from them had a bad capacitor, and when I returned it, I got one that needs the Game Select Switch fixed!

  2. Truthfully, can you use the rarity information on AtariAge?  It is sort of outdated material by now.  If I was to go by own "rarity" guide I would give my NIB Radar Lock the top position in my collection as rare or hard to come by.  That's for the 2600.  While not important, and it might stray away from what the thread was about but I do consider A-Train for the original PlayStation to be my rarest game simply because it took me almost two decades to find it.  That was one game I knew about, rented as much as I could because no one in the area had it for sale new or used, and I eventually forgot all about it until I started collecting video games hardcore.  

     

    But still, I really think the rarity of any game depends on region and their popularity in areas.  The more popular a title becomes the more it is worth and the harder it is to find.  I got lucky with Radar Lock for the 2600 and I have been very blessed with the friends I have here.  No matter how rare the games are that I find you can rest assured I will be cracking new seals to play them.  Isn't that the whole point of having video games in the first place?

    That's true.  I find certain Atari games that are common to be impossible to find in Winnipeg.

     

    Also, the Jaguar rarity guide needs updating.  All those game are rare.
