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

[hydr0x]

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

why??? i mean, why the heck did you mark the all ages games 3+ to start with?!? oh well, good to know you are aware of this :P

it's only a handful of titles and when time permits it will be corrected.

[AtariBuff]

Destructo 2 (does a first part exist on the PS1?) and Space Rider are in. Both believed to not be released.

I'm running out of new findings soon LOL LOL LOL

[tinsair]

AtariBuff sorry for the lack of updates, but I should have the next rarity for you in the next week. :)

[AtariBuff]

no prob, Tins - take your time :)

no news on newly found games or extraordinary finds ;)

[tinsair]

@AtariBuff

Any luck on finding a UK counterpart for the french Telefoot Manager?

[AtariBuff]

no luck yet, Tinsair, but I must admit I haven't looked into it yet as I'm very busy (I also have two pending deals with dlr and a friend of anagrama which I must finish asap) :D

soon.

[tinsair]

Did you get me recent rarity pricing list AtariBuff?

[AtariBuff]

Hi Tins,

yes - many thanks - I added the data yesterday. Was out of town for quite some time and could only access the site for a few minutes here and there with my mobile phone.

have to get things going now again :D

[tinsair]

Ok that's cool, out of town stocking up on games huh? LOL

[AtariBuff]

hehe, my PS1 PAL collection is COMPLETE. I'm just hunting down a few country-specific releases here and there :D

[anagrama]

Wow, hearty congrats man :) That's one hell of an accomplishment, and in relatively short time too! Allow me to be the first to request pics... ;)

[kevincure]

Well done, man. Quite impressive. The real question is: who'll be the first to finish the NTSC-J collection? (Indeed, who'll be the first to catalogue that massive tome...nearly 4000 titles!)

[Dangerboy]

Congrats!
That makes two complete collections on DP, and they're across the pond from each other. :D

[tinsair]

hehe, my PS1 PAL collection is COMPLETE. I'm just hunting down a few country-specific releases here and there :D

Wow nice going congrates, um... ps2 now huh? LOL

[AtariBuff]

ok, back on track.

[tinsair]

Good work AtariBuff, my next rarity/pricing info maybe a little late i had to restore my whole pc, I had a problems where it would not display pages at all :). Hopefully though now I have fixed it!

[PapaStu]

ok, back on track.

That could have been a typo on Kristines part, as she had the list before I did, and i've never touched any of the PAL or Japanese stuff on my end of the list. The only thing I could think of was w/ and w/o a WWF symbol on the manual (or one of those licensing stickers that we get on them out here in the states), or that there could have been a WWE reprint of the game made late in life. Purely conjecture on my side and just trying to think of what could have been a variant on it.

[AtariBuff]

thanks, PAPA - the "alternate cover" entry seems to have somehow found its way into the PAL database where it doesnt belong. Erased now.

NEW GAME DISCOVERED IN AUSTRALIA
-----Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Musical -----

maybe it's an australian/new zealand exclusive as I never saw it anywhere else in PAL territory. found a cover on a cover-site months ago and believed it to be a photoshopped image from the released NTSC version. but the detectives we are it's now proven fact that it was PAL-released and it should arrive for my collection in the next two weeks. my complete PAL collection isn't complete at the moment so to speak :D :D :D :D :D
I keep you posted and pictures of the COMPLETE collection will follow then.

[Dangerboy]

To quote Pokemon Puzzle Leagu e

"I'm quite giddy!"

Can't wait Buff, let's have it. :D

[AtariBuff]

Jason 8-)
soon.... :D :D :D

PS: I have a factory sealed NTSC Psychic Detective here - interested?

[Dangerboy]

Is it long box or jewel case? And if long box, is it plastic, jewel long box, or cardboard?

Let me know :D

Jason

[Dangerboy]

[AtariBuff]

@Tinsair
you will receive the list by evening.

I will post the database to Joe tomorrow.

[tinsair]

Cheers AtariBuff :)

[davidleeroth]

Nice Cats
Anyone seen a release NOT labeled "Value Edition" on the cover?

Now that I have one in my hands, yes.

[AtariBuff]

Funny.
I looked up eBay after I read your post and found a "buy-it-now" Nice Cats Non-Value edition LOL LOL LOL

Man. :roll: :)

[AtariBuff]

@Tins
thanks for the rarity/value list - added

[AtariBuff]

Folks, the PS1 PAL rarity list is now updated - big thanks to Joe.

Funnily I found two new compilations today which didn't make it into the database:

- Bust A Move 2 & Bust A Move 3 Compilation by 505 Game Street

- Grand Theft Auto Double Feature Compilation (seems to be released in Australia/New Zealand only)

[tinsair]

Wow! You got any scans of them 2 compilations AtariBuff? These Playstation games keep coming don't they? LOL

[Dangerboy]

You know...after checking out that list....I can safely say I'd have slit my wrists by now if I were to try PAL, and probably use a cheese grater were I to attempt JPN.

Nice work guys, quite a read.

[AtariBuff]

@Tins
pics up soon :D

@Dangerboy
oh, come on - I have plenty of spare PS1 PAL games - give it a try :D :D :D :D :D :D

[PapaStu]

[AtariBuff]

The second compilation hasn't arrived yet.

[Defconsoft]

Grrrrrr *shakes fist*

Stop finding new titles until I have at least caught up with you a little!!! :-P

But I jest, thats a very nice find.

[AtariBuff]

Grrrrrr *shakes fist*

Stop finding new titles until I have at least caught up with you a little!!! :-P

ok, I promise :D
I'm on vacation in Greece next week on a very small island so I guess new discoveries will be very unlikely..... or.... :D :D :D :D :D

[Dangerboy]

My $3 is he'll find the USA NBA 2 Ball I need. O_O

[AtariBuff]

@Defconsoft
BTW, a big welcome here - your website really hits the spot. So many neat limited editions... 8-) ;)
Nice to have another PAL PlayStation 1 expert around besides Tinsair & DLR. Of course not to forget the NTSC elite team of Jason and Papa :D

[AtariBuff]

@Tins

you wanted it - you got it. only released in Australia/New Zealand.

http://www.mintinthebox.info/temp/gtadouble.jpg

[tinsair]

Great stuff AtariBuff, hope that's all releases now LOL .

[AtariBuff]

Great stuff AtariBuff, hope that's all releases now LOL .no, my friend. :D

I have a 3-game compilation also exclusive to Australia/New Zealand in the pipeline: Velocity x 3

Will post a pic soon. Comes in a sleeve containing 3 racing games - all games come in their own smaller PS1 jewelcases which Australian/New Zealand releases often spot.

[tinsair]

:( Oh no more, another one to track down LOL

[AtariBuff]

May I remind you:

We are looking for a few PAL PS1 games:

Victory Boxing: Contender (NOT the WhiteLabel release - does it exist in PAL land?)

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

[garyfoo182]

Does anyone have a box scan for the games Toys or Santa Claus saves the Earth, ive never seen them would quite like to

ZAG

[AtariBuff]

here you go.

http://www.mintinthebox.info/temp/santaclaus.jpg

http://www.mintinthebox.info/temp/toys.jpg

[AtariBuff]

BTW, I gave the website a little update ;)

[garyfoo182]

Thanks for the help dude
I'm guessing they are both rather hard to find late releases as in no one bought them?

Where did you come by yours?

ZAG

[AtariBuff]

Toys is sometimes on ebay UK - even sealed and you should get the Santa game from Telegames UK www.telegames.co.uk

EDIT: I just visited my before mentioned link of TeleGames and it redirects to another site - what's going on here???
O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O

[garyfoo182]

I noticed that one too. How strange

ZAG

[tinsair]

Did you get my latest pricing/rarity info AtariBuff?

[AtariBuff]

Yes, sure - many thanks again. Your data is already added.

Tins, I need a few "Official UK PlayStation Magazines" - is there a chance that you can get some in your area. Please also send me your "Wanted" list. I want to check what I have for you.

[tinsair]

Yes, sure - many thanks again. Your data is already added.

Ok, AtariBuff I am just sending my want list as we speak :D .

As for the UK Playstation mags I will try and find a few people who have some issue I don't. Also I will ask around some games store you never know they may be some hidden in them.

[AtariBuff]

Tins, thanks for the list - not *too* much to go for. I surely have some of your wanted ones.

@DLR
please PM me your bank account data ASAP. Problems on my side...

it seems that a NEW Tomb Raider compilation has surfaced - I keep you guys posted...

[tinsair]

Ok AtariBuff cheers :D

[AtariBuff]

it seems that a NEW Tomb Raider compilation has surfaced - I keep you guys posted...
was for the PC and wrongly labeled for the PS1 in the auction text :angry:

[tinsair]

Never mind LOL , bet it got your hopes up though?

[AtariBuff]

Never mind LOL , bet it got your hopes up though? yes, it did actually ;)

but nonetheless a NEW compilation surfaced:

Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver / Tomb Raider III

both games inside a cardboard box; french exclusive AND Legacy of Kain spots the limited edition hologram cover :D

[garyfoo182]

Any pics?

Gary

[AtariBuff]

Any pics?
pics... soon...

Hold your breath, fellow PS1 PAL believers:

ANOTHER compilation set has surfaced in Australia/New Zealand:
the "Wacky PlayStation Racing Collection"

more info (and a pic) soon 8-)

[Defconsoft]

Grrrr stop it would you. Stop finding these Australian/European packs that I can never seem to find. Stop it now or I will ... well I will do something nasty.

And while we are on the getting pics thing, can you take a snap of the X-Files Memory Card edition you have listed on your site so I can take a closer look.

Cheers

[AtariBuff]

Hi Defcon,

I don't have the "X-Files Memory Card Edition" - i saw it listed in an E3 Sony catalogue but it just ***may*** be vaporware i.e. not released at all. I never ever saw this edition and don't even have a picture.

Australia/New Zealand is good to me :D :D 8-)

Cheers,
The Buff

[Defconsoft]

Ahhh ok I will see if I can find out from my inside source. They might be able to give us a definate yes or no.

Yes Oz is very nice to you, you lucky man:)


Defcon

[AtariBuff]

the website got updated with some "Limited Editions". Enjoy.

[AtariBuff]

New PlayStation 1 PAL double-pack release discovered:

TOCA World Touring Cars / Jonah Lomu Rugby

Australian/New Zealand exclusive!!! (features, of course, the variant AUS/NZ cover of TOCA WTC)

[tinsair]

Hey AtariBuff sorry for a late response, did you get may rarity pricing info? Also I see you have found another hard to track game?

[AtariBuff]

hi Tinsair,
yes, got your latest file - I wrote you an email ;) - so, lemme say thanks again for your continous great work.

I spotted the doublepack on eBay AU - funny how new things tend to show up even now...

it's time to update my webpage on the coming weekend.

[oceanfr]

which Santa game did you mean?

http://www.mintinthebox.info/temp/santaclaus.jpg

oh never heard of this one


and Whats on all those Press CDs in the collection games

[Defconsoft]

Press CD's mostly contains documents provided by the games publisher that can be used in magazines when reviewing code. This includes word doc with information about the developers/game history/new features etc, high res logos and screenshots, release schedules for different territories and box artwork.

Well at least thats what all of mine have on them.

[AtariBuff]

folks, when you go to the first posting in this thread you'll notice that it's nearly 2 years since we began our task. I'm very happy that so great guys are around since then like Tinsair, DavidLeeRoth, garyfoo, Hardy the Sammelhammel and new ones like Defcon provide great information to the scene.
I wonder if we really have all released games in our database and when I look at the latest discoveries I tend to say: no. There must be more out there somewhere. Let's hunt these down aswell :) :) :)

[Defconsoft]

Was just photographing a load of games for my website and was reading the back of Legend Of Pocahontas, it lists 'other releases' from the Midas Pocket Money range and these include two games I have never seen.

They are Burning Ace and Crazy Canoes.

Now I have never seen these out in the wild, has anyone else? I am guessing they would look the same as the rest of the Midas Pocket Money range, a quick eBay search came up with nothing.

(Oh and website update coming soon :))

[AtariBuff]

When you do a search with Google you find some entries. Both titles are believed to be vaporware and have NEVER EVER turned up.
But we believed Lion and the King 2, Space Rider and Superbike Masters to be vaporware either before the mysteriously turned up.....

[oceanfr]

I have the Space Rider game if yas need
