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

[AtariBuff]

some very nice limited/collector's editions showed up on the PAL ebay market lately.
defcon found a nice "hidden & dangerous" limited edition packaged with a vhs tape of "saving private ryan". I found an "evil dead" limited edition packaged with a "evil dead" vhs tape by director sam raimi.
visit defconsoft's website for some pics (my website will be re-arranged during the next two weeks and i don't put anything online at the moment).

[davidleeroth]

Just wanted to let people know I'm not dead and I'm keping my eyes open for any undocumented titles showing up. Just busy with studying and work, that's all. http://www.digitpress.com/forum/images/icons/icon11.gif

Cheers

[AtariBuff]

sure, Tins - on the way :)

A good, happy, healthy 2007 to all you guys out there :) :)

[Defconsoft]

Not to sure on this one. Is it a variant does anyone know?

Suzuki Alstare Challenge (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330068782639)

[AtariBuff]

My glass ball tells me:

It's the french variant of "Extreme 500" (SLES 02220).

Grab it now! ;)

shouldn't it be the other way around? the game's called Suzuki Alstare ... on all systems i know of (Dreamcast, GBC, PC...) so imho that's it's main name

[AtariBuff]

no, all PAL releases of this game are called "Extreme 500" (except the french of course (SLES 02221)) - among them the U.K. version which always is the main PAL country version.
They simply slapped a "Suzuki Alstare" title screen into the game and sold it as the PS1 version of your beforementioned DC,... versions.

Hello,

I am from Spain and I also have these games that are not listed in www.mintinthebox.info

- Mike Tyson Boxing ***Maybe a Prince Naseem Boxing variant...
- Monaco Grand Prix: Racing Simulation 2

Regards ;)

[AtariBuff]

hi zikuta, a big hi to Spain.

yes, "mike tyson boxing" is the german variant of "prince naseem boxing" and "Racing Simulation 2: Monaco Grand Prix" is the french variant of "Racing Simulation: Monaco Grand Prix".

both are listed in the DP rarity guide under their main entries and not listed on my website because they are simply renamed country variants.

thanks for your observations - keep 'em coming :)

Cheers,
AtariBuff

[AtariBuff]

I also search all over playstation webs & forums, is this a rare edition? Or am I a bad treasure hunter?

Regards,

ZiKuTa

[AtariBuff]

hi zikuta,

congrats to your find - we already have this edition listed in the database. I for myself have the italian version which is just the size of one game because the "special missions" game is behind "metal gear solid" and NOT besides like in the spanish version which you have.

you're becoming a good treasure hunter :) :)

[Sammelhammel]

@AtariBuff

Do you also take Limited Edition into the rarity list (e.g. Breath of Fire III ;) )???
Do you have the Resident Evil 2 Limited Edition already in your list?

[AtariBuff]

yes, we also list limited editions.
no, RE2 Limited Edition is not yet listed - where can I get it??? ;) ;) ;)

I hope these help. Oh and where can I get this PAL rarity data base? I tried Ataribuff's site but it had no links :P

[AtariBuff]

site will be updated soon :)

nice finds.

[Defconsoft]

my site is also close to completion on its update, hopefully going live next weekend.

A couple of new finds going on it as well (don't worry AB these are all Special Editions and not new games). I'll also be adding my new pride and joy :)

LMAO yes, this Molyneux clown had the Official UK and German PlayStation mags fooling around for YEARS about the release of the marvelous, greatest-ever-to-be-released-PlayStation1-game-of-all-time Black & White feeding them with false informations. And the mags fell for it... That was funny like hell and he got advertisement for free.

1 the UI. Font Book has severe problems handling lots of fonts. In
particular it has severe problems when you have lots of fonts with
similar names. Such as, oh, lots of Helveticas. Other font managers,
going back to the very first versions of Suitcase and ATM Deluxe,
simply don't have that problem. It's a basic design flaw and the only
way to get rid of it would be to do a complete redesign and rewrite.
I don't see Apple doing this.2 the way it actually handles fonts. It physically moves fonts from where the user wants them to where it wants them, doesn't tell you that it's moving fonts, and doesn't tell you where it's moving them to. No other font manager does this. This generates _massive_
problems when combined with the above, as it will move the _wrong
font suitcases_ to places of its choice because it has problems with
fonts with similar names. Correcting this takes a _lot_ of time. This
is again a basic design flaw which is unlikely to be corrected.

superman 2000 is unreleased, It was going to be a port of superman 64, I found this info on wikipedia

[apostille]

Let's use this thread for creating a Playstation PAL rarity list based on Tinsair's excellent list, my humble collected data and al people who are willing to help.
What we need:
- SLES and SCES numbers of released games
- release information
- all game-specific data
- rumored games
- links where we can dig deeper

I would also like to know with which program the DPG was created to use it on our list.

So, let's begin with our digital archeology .
