Cleaned out an old box. I have the carts only, no boxes. Are they worth much? Mat Mania Challenge,Xevious, Donkey Kong, Winter Games, Karateka, Crack'ed, Joust, Dark Chambers, Ace of Aces, Crossbow, Jinks, Fatal Run, Scrapyard Dog, Ninja Golf, Ballblazer. Worth much? :guitar:

We've got a whole new forum dedicated to this kind of question found HERE (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=37) so thats where this is headed.

We've also got this spiffy online search engine for games themselves (it should be on the left side of the screen, if you access the forums via the frontpage of DP) and thats also viewable HERE (http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/search.cmf)

Not really. You might get $10-$15 for a few of them on ebay but that's on a good day. Fatal Run, Ninja Golf, and Scrapyard Dog might be your most valuable, but others might be tough to give away.

If you only had Tank Command...

I don't know the price, but I could tell you what is common or not for the 7800 based on experience.

Mat Mania Challenge- one of the rarer 7800 games out there. It is not overly rare, but it is uncommon.
Xevious-common
Donkey Kong- very common
Winter Games- very common
Karateka-very common, but expect not to get a lot of money for it. It is the worst 7800 game I've ever played and paying more then 50 cents is a ripoff if the person does any homwork on the game before buying it.
Crack'ed- common
Joust-very common
Dark Chambers-common
Ace of Aces-common
Crossbow-it is not common, but not as rare as Mat Mania Chanllenge
Jinks-very common
Fatal Run-I haven't found this game a lot, and it is considered the rarest game you have with it being one of the later 7800 games released. It is not the rarest 7800 in North America.
Scrapyard Dog-late 7800 game released, but it is not as rare as Mat Mania Challenge, and Fatal Run.
Ninja Golf-it is as rare as Mat Mania Challenge, despite the fact I haven't found out it the wild in a long time. Will be on ebay maybe 1 or 2 times mone depending on the month.
Ball Blazer is very common.

Out of those you have, Ninja golf, fatal run, and Scrapyard Dog is worth the most.

Any game that I said very common to, you should get a .75 or $2 loose each tops except for Karateka.

I'd be more than interested in Fatal Run if you want to trade for it, send me a PM

IMO Scrapyard is common and only worth a few bucks.

It sounds as if you're saying that this game is borderline rare. Is that really the case because according to the guide (http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=9523) it's only a R3.
