[Querjek]

What about the "Game Factory" carts (I think that's what they're called... you know, there's a red, blue, and green variation?).

[tholly]

What about the "Game Factory" carts (I think that's what they're called... you know, there's a red, blue, and green variation?).

never heard of them before....i did a quick search and it said that they were made in 8, 16, and 32 versions....anyone have an exact listing for these as they would be put in my list above??

ie... exact name [system]

[Ed Oscuro]

That's a handy list to have t-dawg, thanks for putting it together! :D

[Jorpho]

Mr. Nutz (or is it Nuts?), for the SNES.

[UndeadKing]

Isn't Cubix Robots for Everyone Showdown for Ps2, or maybe Gamecube, a Blockbuster exclusive? I'm pretty sure at least one version is.

Shame on you for getting my hopes up...they only have the green and blue pictured there. People always mention the red version, but in years of searching I have yet to find a picture of one, a person who claims to have one, or even a person who claims to have seen one. I'm pretty sure the red Game Factory cart is a myth.

Prove me wrong if you can...I'd love to see one!

yea, im hoping Joe can throw this list into one of the upcoming DP guides. I would love to buy the book and see my name at the top of a list. This might just be wishful thinking though.

Anyone have another game for the list, let me know.

[Shady Smurf]

I don't believe that Mr.Nuts is a BB Exclusive, i've seen loose carts and thiers no indication that it is...

[tholly]

I don't believe that Mr.Nuts is a BB Exclusive, i've seen loose carts and thiers no indication that it is...

well, ill leave it unconfirmed for now and well see if anyone else can confirm that it is not a bb exclusive

[portnoyd]

Eek the Cat for SNES was a rental exclusive for a time, like Transmetals 64.

Game Factory Red, if it exists, would make fill out the Genesis Superrare Trifecta. I have my doubts. Now the thing that actually does something with all three GF carts... now that HAS to exist.

dave

[dave2236]

wasn't N64 track and field 2000 a rental exclusive?

I'm pretty sure it is

[tholly]

wasn't N64 track and field 2000 a rental exclusive?

I'm pretty sure it is


yup, your right...list updated accordingly

[Jorpho]

I don't believe that Mr.Nuts is a BB Exclusive, i've seen loose carts and thiers no indication that it is...

My source is an ancient issue of Nintendo Power.

(Final Fight Guy has no indication that it is a BB exclusive, does it?)

[orrimarrko]

I can only confirm the following are absolutely true:

FOR N64:

Blockbuster ONLY, and have the logo (or name) on the package:

Clayfighter 63 1/3: Sculpters Cut
Razor Freestyle Scooter
Transformers: Beast Wars - Transmetals

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine was NOT a Blockbuster exclusive. It was available to rent and for sale at Blockbuster AND the LucasArts online store.

Blockbuster exclusives, but no mention of that on the packaging:

International Track & Field 2000
NFL Blitz Special Edition
Stunt Racer

Finally, Exclusive by direct order only - not available at retail:

International Super Star Soccer 2000

I hope this helps. The only real error is the Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. Available at Blockbuster, but NOT an exclusive.

Steve

[D_N_G]

I actually ordered my Indy off the LucasArts.com website

as for indian jones i put either Blockbuster exclusives, available through Blockbuster, or associated with Blockbuster

but as for the other ones...ill add stunt racer to the list
and for international super star soccer 2000....could you rent it at blockbuster, or are you just posting this to let ppl know of another exclusive purchase game

[orrimarrko]

as for indian jones i put either Blockbuster exclusives, available through Blockbuster, or associated with Blockbuster

Point taken, just clarifying, as many are under the impression that it was a BB exclusive.

I do not believe that the ISS 2000 was available to rent or for purchase at BB. So, I guess that it is just for general information, as it is the 8th N64 exclusive.

[tholly]

thanks for more info on ISS 2000

[portnoyd]

While we're at it, what about Madden 93 Championship Edition for Genesis? 'Rental Store Exclusive' at least for a time.

dave

added to the list....thanks

[qbertandernie]

the green and blue game factory games were available on ebay for a time at $18 a piece. may still be, i picked mine up and the guy i got them from said he had a limited number of each, but no red ones. DP says the reds the only one thats hard to find, blue and greens were 4 rating i think...

yea, i dont think your gonna be finding either of those games too easily for only $18. you would be one lucky person if you did.

[qbertandernie]

how was the tommy hilfiger game boy distributed? i have one but never knew how it was sold in the first place.

[tholly]

i think you could get it from a tommy clothing store when you bought something....im not sure...i dont know why i think that....i could be completely wrong though

[Doonzmore]

Ren and Stimpy Fire Dogs was not a BB exclusive, Charts Hits had it for rental so it probably was a rental only, just not a BB exclusive. God, so that's why ISS 2000 is such a bitch to find.You can also buy a brand new copy of EEK The Cat from Videogamedepot.com for only 15.00 bucks. Too bad the game sucks.

[kainemaxwell]

Grea tlooking list! Anyone got thoughts on their future rarities?

[Brisco]

The Gamestop label variant that tholly speaks of is just that. It's a regular PS2 game with a Gamestop preview for manager's on it. I received one of these before release, and it has the same back cover, just a different front. http://kthxstfu.com/~eternaltune/images/turok.jpg

[orrimarrko]

God, so that's why ISS 2000 is such a bitch to find.

Got that right. I can get it any time I want, Brand New, Sealed. However, I'm not going to pay $50 for it. At least not yet.

I'll go you one better though.

HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN A COPY OF BLADES OF STEEL 2000 FOR N64??!?

I have NEVER seen a copy in person, on eBay, or anywhere else.

If anyone has a scan of this, please let me see!!!

Thanks,
Steve

[Slipdeath]

what when did this soccer game come out(for xbox)

[digitpress Jim]

Clay Fighter Tournament Edition for the SNES was a Block Buster Exclusive. Also, I am not sure if anybody mentioned this yet, but Indiana Jones for the N64 was not just exclusive to BB, it could be purchsed through the Lucas Arts website.

Game ON

[Doonzmore]

There's an auction going on right now for a Tommy Hilfiger Gameboy Color on ebay. Quite cheap too


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3084165027&category=62054

And yes i would like to see a copy of Blades Of Steel 2000 for N64 as well.

[tholly]

Yup, Indiana Jones was mentioned that its not just BB, but it was availbable through BB which is why its on that part of the list...

As for Clay Fighter, thanks for the addition to the list..I will add it now.

[tholly]

I don't know if this is right, but was Chase the Chuck Wagon [2600] a mail order only game. If so, I can add it to that section of my list.

[Doonzmore]

Wasn't Kid Kleets a rental only on the SNES?

[tholly]

Wasn't Kid Kleets a rental only on the SNES?

I added it to the list as unconfirmed because you didn't seem totally sure about it. Thanks for the addition.

[nesuser2]

How old are we talking? I thought LoLo 3 for NES was rental exclusive. I don't think it was stickered on any particular store but I could be wrong about the whole thing but that's what I remember about LoLo 3 and somebody should be able to easily confirm this. Or....disconfirm it :D

[tholly]

were talking any video game...not matter how old....just as long as there was only a specific store to get it .. such as only at BB or TRU or only through the mail

if anyone confirms lolo 3 ill add it to the list

[Qixmaster]

While we're at it, what about Madden 93 Championship Edition for Genesis? 'Rental Store Exclusive' at least for a time.

dave

I also believe there is a box variation for this if you want to get REAL technical :D... or so i have heard from others out there.

Wow, this topic sorta died. Is that all the exclusives... there has got to be more. What about the Power Puff Girls game that was a toys r us exclusive... can't remember what system, just remember hearing about it.

-Josh

[vintagegamecrazy]

We could open up a can of worms here but here goes. Wasn't action 52 only bought rented at rentals any of the panesians maybe some of wisdom tree games

2600
chase the chuckwagon mail order
tooth protectors mail order from johnson and johnson
crazy climber
many of comavid games
obelix (unconfirmed)
quadrun

gamecube zelda bonus disc

I'm sure there's more

[sisko]

I believ EB had an exclusive Gold gba packaged with some pokeomn game (gold?)

I've also seen the TRU Black GBA bundled with Pokemon Crystal.

[v1rich]

Here is a copy of the Final Fight Guy that proves it was a blockbuster exclusive:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3086671331&category=62053

Plus I have one. The only other SNES game that i have that says blockbuster exclusive is the Clayfighter Tournament game. The Ren & Stimpy Fire Dogs game says (on box) "Rental Exclusive only, Man!", so not necessarily blockbuster.

The others, Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge was not a rental but was recalled from blockbuster after the competition and sold after the competition to nintendo power subscribers. Same with Starfox Super Weekend. I have a nintendo power magazine with the form in the back of it to order one of them (I can't remember which one).

Mr. Nutz and Kid Kleets I also have and do not recall seeing any indication on the boxes at all of any rental exclusive or anything, but I will have a look and see if I see anything about it. Most of these copies of these games I have do have rental stickers on them but I have at least one of each of these two that does not have any evidence that it was ever rented.

[SegaAges]

I own a copy of Clayfighter: Tournament Edition, and where on the box does it say that it is an exclusive, because I have never seen it.

[v1rich]

I could be wrong. I think I might have gotten confused because the "Tournament Edition" on the label looks so much like the "Blockbuster Exclusive" on the Final Fight Guy. I'll check and edit this post when I find out for sure.

[tholly]

i updated the list....let me know if i missed anything or need to and something else

[KirbyStar27]

Mr. Nutz (or is it Nuts?), for the SNES.

Very Nice list :eek 2: , and it is Mr. Nutz :)

[Qixmaster]

You can also add the Pac-Man VS game for the GC that you would get if you bought either I-Ninja or R: Racing evolution.... I know this to be true, read it in Nintendo Power 176. This version came in a little cd sleeve, not the typical GC case.

Also, you get this game (as well as rouge squadron III demo) if you pre-ordered anything from Gamecrazy.

and yes... lolo 3 was rental exclusive.

-Josh

[Brisco]

The Lucasarts Experience disc was available at other stores as well. My Gamestop got in 2 dozen of them at Christmas, and still have a few of them in the backroom.

[kainemaxwell]

Good going on the list!

[koolkid13]

I can confirm the Lucas Arts Experience not being an exclusive. I got it free from EBgames earlier this year (august maybe).

[Kamino]

are we only talking about actual games here, or would the blockbuster virtual boy hard carry case count for this list?
<hijack>if anyone does have a VB hardcase they'd part with, let me know. </hijack>

[The Manimal]

good thread :)

i have final fight guy...bought it cart only at a second-hand store...

[tholly]

Just bumping this up to see if anything needs to be added / changed / removed.

[Wavelflack]

What about Mojo (Xbox)?
I thought they had stickers that say "TRU Exclusive"

[koolkid13]

Also what about the Midnight Blue GBA exclusive to TRU?

[Doonzmore]

One of my old issues of Nintendo Power states that Kid Kleets was indeed a rental exclusive, but they listed the name as Soccer Kid.

[Slimedog]

Nobody mentioned the exclusive Pokemon Center titles. Many of these are still available from the website.

Pokemon Box [GCN]
Pokemon Mini System [Purple, Blue or Green]
Pokemon Party Mini [Pack in]
Pokemon Pinball Mini
Pokemon Puzzle Collection
Pokemon Zany Cards

Pokemon Center New York Edition GBA (Gold /art, This version was also sold at EB or Gamestop, but not with Pokemon Gold)

GBA-SP Torchic (Orange w/art)
GBA-SP Kyorge (Blue w/art)
GBA-SP Err... red guy from Ruby (Red w/art)

If anybody gives a fart, I wrote a faq on the Pokemon Mini but its not posted online since Gamefaq changed formats and delisted it. PM me if you want a copy.

Also, can somebody confirm if the Blockbuster Transformers came with a manual? I've seen 4 boxed copies and none of them have a manual.

Finally, I was under the impression that Swordquest Waterworld was a mail order only. However, I'm not really and Atari expert.

[kevincure]

Kartia had a BB version that is slightly different (a prerelease). Dangerboy's game-rave.com has info on it.

[Blitzwing256]

pokemon channel + pokemon mini is a current tru/amazon exclusive (for 7$)

also wasn't swordquest waterworld a mail order game only?

beast wars transmetals n64 was eventually released in regular stores without the bb exclusive label (I only ever saw it once new at a babbages)

I have the final fight guy complete with manaul if anyone wants a scan of it or the manual (it is differnt then the normal us final fight manual)


oh and yay my first post ;-)

[SamuraiSmurfette]

I bought new copies of Sneakers XB, and Turok PS2 at the EB Games I work at (Canada)

...both being cleared out for $9.99 LOL

Also, each retailer in Canada this past holiday season had their own exclusive GBA SP:

Best Buy: Ocean Blue (like Sword of Mana one)
Future Shop: Pearl White
TRU: Shrek (half orange, half green)
Zellers: Pearl Pink
EBGames: Tribal Tatoo (previously a UK exclusive)

Also, the only place I've seen a new copy of Gungriffon XB has been at Microplay.

[Slimedog]

Also, the only place I've seen a new copy of Gungriffon XB has been at Microplay.

I've seen Gungriffon XB at Best Buys and Wal Mart for what its worth.

[l_lamb]

Toys R Us had exclusives on Game Boy Pockets in gold and extreme green at the same time as the N64 controllers (1996-ish). I have the extreme green at home but the box is in storage.

I also have an ice blue Game Boy Pocket that I'm pretty sure was a Target exclusive. I bought it used, so no box.

[qbertandernie]

what about kmart exclusives? didnt they have a wavebird/metroid prime bundle and some mario ecard bundles?

[DreamTR]

ISS was NOT a rental exclusive. It was released in limited quantities. I picked it up out here in LA (soccer mania out here) when it was new.

Blades of Steel 2000? Who said that existed?

[Doonzmore]

It use be be mentioned in the rarity guide as an R5. I knew it was actually canceled on N64 and made a topic about it a long time ago but no one believed me then.

And now look who was right after all. :hmm:

[Dangerboy]

Interesting Point:

Kartia for PSX was an early blockbuster rental prior to game launch. It does not feature a BB Label variant; however, the 'non foil' logo version has an earlier PSRM number on it, signifying it came before the retail release. It's by the same guys who did Eggs of Steel.

Game Rave Page jere for reference:
http://www.game-rave.com/psx/playstation_perfect_guide/releasedgames/kartia/index.html

Jason

[DreamTR]

Yeah doonzmore, it's still listed on the rarity guide as a O, and a released game, but it was cancelled. I know Nintendo's list is missing ISS Soccer 2000. They even have the damned thing to "rent" over there for employees!

[GizmoGC]

I received the LucasArts Experience through Game Crazy (I was a Manager and received 5 of these discs)
