[PS1] PAL Rarity List (UPDATED 06-19-2006!!!!!)

[AtariBuff]

well, how did you learn about "Alarm für Cobra 11" then if you don't know if it was under dev???I didn't as it was not one of my entries to the rumor mill, that's why I'm asking for proof now that it was in development.

[hydr0x]

point is, whoever added it added it because he saw it mentioned somewhere, just ask him ;)

[AtariBuff]

LOL

@AtariBuff

All games that are currently on the Rumor Mill list are from what I have heard or seen/reviewed in mags.
Also whats this previously unknown release? :hmm:

[AtariBuff]

@Tinsair
I want to have it in my own hands before I believe it myself - do you think that you can wait till next week??? :D :D :D

[tinsair]

LOL I'm sure I can.

[slapdash]

I think I may partly be the cause of the Rumor Mill in the first place... Joe was rolling my lists into his, but I had listed a lot of stuff that was questionable (marked where I could!), and he wanted that stuff to be all off on its own, whereas my "rumor mill" was only the purely speculative stuff, and the items that were actually announced/listed in magazines and ads usually went in the main body of my lists. So, Joe dutifully moved everything questionable from his lists, my lists, and probably others, into the Rumor Mill, no matter how likely they were to exist. We're talking the NES heyday when this occurred, so the lists were mostly pre-NES stuff, and you'd get things like Superman III for 2600 (in reality it was a demo for the movie, and later an Atari 800 cart I guess, but it was never even planned for the 2600), or pre-release names like Hot Rox (as opposed to Demons To Diamonds) before the connection was made that it was the same game. I suppose it might make sense to add another section -- or at least some kind of marker -- to distinguish between those that were probably in prototype form (but haven't shown up) as opposed to total unknowns (really just rumors).

[AtariBuff]

@Slapdash
thanks for your insight knowledge :)
I'm no enemy to the Romur Mill but there surely are many entries for every system in the guide that are more then rumor and purely speculation. It's our duty to help the collectors (who look for complete collections) what really is available on the market/available in prototype form/a rumor.

[tinsair]

@AtariBuff

What happend to this previously unknown release?
I'm curious :hmm:

[AtariBuff]

very well, Tinsair ;)

I found "Legend of Foresia" on eBay and thought of it to be a previously unknown release - in reality it's the french release of "Blaze & Blade" :D LOL


PS:

I have dark blonde hair, blue eyes, slim and I am tall you would make a pretty fine German LOL LOL LOL

[tinsair]

@AtariBuff

LOL Well I am part Swiss! My dad's dad was Swiss.

[AtariBuff]

@Tinsair
Heidi :D
BTW the package arrived today, many thanks.

after going through the PS1 PAL list on Hydr=x suggestions we now feature 1504 entries :D :D :D

@Tinsair & DLR
the updated database will be on your way tomorrow

[zerohero]

For some reason I couldn't find Star Fox on the rarity guide at all.

[hydr0x]

For some reason I couldn't find Star Fox on the rarity guide at all.

star fox? for PSX??

[davidleeroth]

I think my earlier message got deleted when the boards went below but the Johnny B music CD I won from eBay was in fact a GamePro freebie.

[AtariBuff]

so it wasn't officially included. i thought so.
thanx for the info, DLR.

[tinsair]

@AtariBuff

Glad you got the package safely :). look forward to the updated database :D

[zerohero]

For some reason I couldn't find Star Fox on the rarity guide at all.

FOr SNES, Nothing ever comes up when I type the name in. I've trying to add it to my list for a while.

[AtariBuff]

:bday:

wth? i told you about that one back then :o

[AtariBuff]

when?????

Yetisports Deluxe was already known but this 2nd title never surfaced anywhere.

[hydr0x]

pretty sure i mentioned it somewhere (maybe in the list i send to our finnish friend back then) but the search function is down so i can't look for it :/

[davidleeroth]

I remember discussing about some Yetisports game with you. If it was World Tour, I must have made a copy/paste error or had the not-so-rare brain fart moment as I didn't manage to add it onto my list.

[AtariBuff]

Mumble Jumble Time:

I have NEVER seen the PAL english versions "Pre-School Learning with Winnie the Pooh" and "Pre-School Learning with Mickey" on eBay and the german versions were damn hard to find O_O especially the Micky one which I only saw ONE time on eBay for the last year or so. Winnie showed up 2 times more now since I got the first that showed up in the last 12 months also but this was also surely released in ***very*** limited quantities. Get them while they are cold.

I'm waiting atm for the "Final Fantasy VIII" collector's edition, a "This is Football" MultiTap edition and something else which i can't remember right now. ;)
Got 2 limited released "Spyro" and "Spyro 3" editions with CD-carrying cases included in oversized boxes. Will up pix of them on the link provided below on the weekend.

Junior Sports Football (NOT the ComicStar Collection re-release) was released with a soccer field to fold out and stickers which one has to rub with a pencil to the desired location (Google for "Kalkitos" and you know what I mean). I got the game last week and was delighted to find said two previously unknown (to us) items in mint condition under the manual. I will up pix of this one also.

Someone please point me to a site where I can witness the "Wing Over directory of planes" chart with my own eyes.

Enough.

[yok-dfa]

Anyone know how rare Fun & Learning vol.1 + vol.2 (both PAL) are? Please post your question in the appropriate PS1 PAL thread.

The question remains :)

[AtariBuff]

:) I don't know these two games - do you refer to Rayman Junior (Level 1-3) or what? :)

BTW: I have a spare Cosmic Commuter (box only) - interested?

[yok-dfa]

No, the 'games' are called Fun & Learning vol. 1 + Fun & Learning vol. 2. They seem to be unlicensed, because when you start there is a message "this software has not been licensed and/or endorsed by SCEE" (or something like that). Although both of them work without any problem on my unmodded PS2. They also come in generic black DVD cases. If I remember correctly there was a manual included. I can post a picture tonight if you want.

I'll keep the CC box in mind, but for now i just need the game (no need for the box without the game)...

[AtariBuff]

yes, please, pictures of these would be nice - unlicensed or not - if they are PAL they belong into the database.

i will check if i also have a spare cart of CC (was also the last boxed Activision game i acquired for my collection - now it's complete).

[Edit] I already checked them out - to find them on eBay for EUR 5 and up they surely are not pricy but who knows how many of them were made?

[yok-dfa]

[Edit] I already checked them out - to find them on eBay for EUR 5 and up they surely are not pricy but who knows how many of them were made?
Yes i know. That is where i got them :D

Anyway, on to the pictures:

Interestingly enough, vol.2 does not come with a manual or poster...

[AtariBuff]

many thanks for the pics and information and for taking the time. i added the games to the database. keep em coming :D

[davidleeroth]

I have a couple of those, too. I forgot I even had them. Blaze sent samples to the videogame store where I work every now and then and asked if we would've been interested in selling them. We were not, so I just took them home with me. I have them listed over here (http://www.students.tut.fi/~tiainen2/collection/ps2pelit.htm).

[yok-dfa]

I have them listed over here (http://www.students.tut.fi/~tiainen2/collection/ps2pelit.htm).

Offtopic: Is Silpheed: The Lost Planet any good (seeing you have 5 copies of it)?

Gotta have all the variations. :D
If you liked the first game, you'll like Lost Planet. It's more like an updated version of the original than a sequel, in both you get nice visuals, meh voice acting and OK gameplay. If you want one, find either the European or American version since they had analog support and fixed some slowdown issues.

[AtariBuff]

The german & austrian department store chain "Lidl" released a new PlayStation 1 PAL game this monday. It seems to be a release like "All Star Action" with many games merged onto one CD. As it was only sold in german stores of "Lidl" I shall have it by today or tomorrow and I will keep you posted about it. Talk about a dead system... :P

Nope that cannot be the game AtariBuff is secretly gonna reveal, as we already have that one on our database, minus the outer box. It was released by Phoenix Games a while back.

@AtariBuff

I have managed to dig out my copy of Wing Over, and I have sent you 2 scans of the "Wing Over directory of planes" chart.

[AtariBuff]

@Tinsair
scans not here yet :)

Shoot was NOT released by Phoenix - Kids Playground is also missing. The "7 Shoot Games" cover is a black/white version of the "Shoot" mock-up cover.

Which game was I about to reveal? Hmmm, let me think - Legend of Foresia was just a country variant; Yetisports World Tour was already mentioned above - I have no clue, Tins :)

[tinsair]

AtariBuff did you get my email re-send?

[AtariBuff]

nope, Tins - nothing here yet.

[AtariBuff]

@Tinsair
thanks - the Wing Over scans arrived in perfect shape - many thanks for these - I have them also coming my way to add them to my copy.

I also added the 2 "Fun + Learning" games from Blaze Software to the database - anyone has an idea when they were released?

+@DLR

new rarity/price updates are always welcome, my friends :)

[yok-dfa]

Interestingly enough, there is no copyright notice to be found on the box or manual. Can't find a single date or year...

I'll check if Blaze had any paperwork bundled with the shipment, maybe they have a date printed.

Working on a update as we speak. :)

[tinsair]

On a side note I just found out that Poy Poy 2 doesnt not play on the PS2, just thought I would let you know AtariBuff :)

[AtariBuff]

@DLR
great :)

@Tinsair
added to the all-knowing database of ours :D

[AtariBuff]

I want to wish all my fellow collectors/gamers/contributors here at DP all the best for 2006! You know who you are ;) :D

May we keep the spirit alive for maintaining our databases to the best of our abilities and knowledge 8-)

Cheers, Prost, Salute

AtariBuff

[AtariBuff]

www.mintinthebox.info got updated with a few more PS1 PAL collector's / limited editions and got a graphical overhaul (just began working on it).

@Tinsair
thanks for your price/rarity list - all data added

@DLR
concerning your wanted PS1 games - now I have all the time to finish the deal - let me know 8-)

[AtariBuff]

me again ;)

got a mysterious game today:

Sportweek Player Manager 2001 (Sportweek is a sports newspaper (www.sportweek.nl))

Released in Dutch - I can't find a counterpart - is this a Dutch exclusive?????

PS: it doesn't seem to be "Alex Ferguson's Player Manager 2001" (wrong release year, wrong publisher but same Developer (Anco)) - i have to playtest them both tomorrow - maybe there IS a connection...

[hydr0x]

i bet it's the same as that one, but maybe i can help you out in some way, i do speak dutch fluently

[AtariBuff]

Thanks for your offer, hydr0x - Sportweek Player manager 2001 is identical to Alex Ferguson's Player manager 2001. Solved.

[tinsair]

Like your improvements to your site AtariBuff 8-)

[AtariBuff]

I'm glad you like it :D

there is much more to come @_@

[AtariBuff]

found "Lion and the King 2" today - a title we thought was promoted but never released. now it's confirmed.

[AtariBuff]

we need the english release numbers of:

Ballblazer Champions
Herc's Adventures

thanks to Christoph Lehmann for pointing this out (besides many other small and not so small mistakes he found) 8-)

[AtariBuff]

[davidleeroth]

But from where? :D

[hydr0x]

hey guys, are you still missing any sles/sces codes?? cause i found an old list i made with some of those, wondering if you have use for them (i know the online db is out of date, that's why i'm asking)

[AtariBuff]

@DLR
on a small auction site named eBay LOL ;)

@hyd0x
thanks, we're done - we just need the 3 UK SLES/SCES codes I mentioned a few posts before.

[AtariBuff]

PAL-folks, I'm looking for a few PAL PS1 games:

Victory Boxing: Contender (NOT the WhiteLabel release (I do believe though that this was the only release PAL territory got!?!?!?))

Rayman Junior: Level 3 (NOT the "Value Series" edition)

Nice Cats (NOT the "Value Series" edition)


Give'em to me and I make it worth your time :D :D :D

[hydr0x]

Rayman Junior: Level 3 (NOT the "Value Series" edition)


i'm pretty sure a local store has a used copy of that, no idea if it's the value series or not though, going to check it out either tomorrow or next week

[AtariBuff]

New game found:

"Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation / Tomb Raider: Die Chronik" - a white cover 2 cd-set compilation.

May I remind you:

[AtariBuff]

Destructro 2
Space Rider

more info when I hold them in my hands :D

[AtariBuff]

the website featured in my signature also got a nice PS1 PAL country exclusives, country variants and special editions update :D

[hydr0x]

latest AK Tronic releases:

15.01.2006:

Final Fantasy 9 (no idea if it's Platinum or not)
Driver 2 (Platinum)
Asterix: Streit um Gallien (Neue Version), this one's probably a new game, no idea:
Dev: Warthog, Pub: Infogrames, SLES-01748

15.02.2006:

FIFA 2005 (no idea if platinum or not)

15.03.2006

Destruction Derby Raw
Crash Bash
Crash Bandicoot 3

i also noticed a weird one in our DB, might be a misspelled PS2 title:

SingStar 80s UK Version, Sony, 09.02.2006

[AtariBuff]

thanx for the info, hyd.

Got the non-value re-release of "Ballistic" today - this bit** was ultra-hard to find :angry:

[hydr0x]

Taxi 2: Le Jeu (http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=28394) was developed by DC Studios, just acquired the game for 3 bucks incl. shipping :)

edit: the ESRB rating is wrong, it's not 3+ but All Ages

[AtariBuff]

yes, the ESRB rating - we marked all "all ages" games with 3+. that's one of our least important to-do's right now.

the Taxi 2 developer info is already listed in the maintainer's databases since July last year but no update has been sent to Joe. we're completely finished on most datafields only the game style category and half of rarity/value is missing.
