hi everybody. i picked this baby up today and used the search function to comb through some old threads looking for the rarity and value of this "Family Fun Fitness Pad" variant of Athletic World, but I didn't come up with much conclusive information other than that the "five screw" version is substantially rarer than the others. I'm a fairly devoted NES collector (almost 600 games) but I've never been much of a label-variant freak.
any info would be appreciated.

From what I have heard or seen, it's not worth that much more than the other version. Maybe a dollar or two more. It would be nice if it was worth more as I have 3 copies. :D

Needs the proper box for any real value. (i.e. One that matches the label)

Even though it's pretty rare, it's worth the same as the other Athletic World. It's hard to understand the nes world sometimes. If it's got a totally different game name it may be worth a load of money, but if it's really rare but just with a different label it's worth the same... :)

word to that...
people need to understand that this 5 screw version is not as rare in cart only form, but the matching box and manual for it are just as tough to come by as say.... the family fun fitness pad itself.
Also, the reason why the cart is not scare is that Bandai released it in a hangtag box w/ a black seal sticker on top and manual to match (the rare box)... after nintendo bought the rights for the power pad, bandai re-released it in a round seal box (not oval seal) without a hangtag.
This box version is widely availible and factory sealed copies pop up all the time. In fact, i bought a factory sealed version of this to confirm that it also contains the 5 screw family fun fitness version of athletic world, although the box says nothing of it.
in conclusion.
hangtag box+matching manual w/ Series 1+FFF pad verison of atheletic world = SUPER RARE OMG!!!
non-hangtag box+matching manual w/o series 1+FFF pad version of athletic world= common
those are the facts goddammit.
