[Buyatari]

I am shocked that I didn't hear anything about this when these carts were recalled. Did anyone here know about this?

The resaon being we can't get it, everytime we do Frag Tag (also known as Tag the Monkey), it says mission fail. My cousin told me that he'd seen on a site that it's because it's a black game, not a gray one. They also do make Grey ones, but you'll have to send your black* one in to trade for a grey one."

I live for this kind of discovery! I whipped out the debit card immediately, but the auction is SOLD OUT damn it!! Did anybody from DP scoop up a couple of these? I would pay more than the ebay price, but nothing ridiculous. Please PM me if anybody got a couple, so we can make a deal. Thanks!

Same here. So sad to see they were all gone just 1 day after that video was posted. :/

I am SURE that some of the buyers will quick flip these on ebay in the next week or so but after those sell who knows how much it will cost you to get one. I'd be on the lookout and jump on the first one you see with a semi-reasonable price. I've never heard of this cart and imagine it will be the last cart many need to fill a N64 collection.

I am on the hunt for one for my collection. Dang I missed out

[cheaterdragon1]

I bought one! The seller demanded that everything was shipped priority only, so I had to spend $24 on the shipping.

I remember my brother and I playing the game when we where much younger. We hated those money levels and apparently those are the glitched ones.

This will be a great addition to my collection.

[Parodius Duh!]

I hate assholes that buy a ton of a could be rare item just to flip them at inflated prices. Hope all of you who do this crap are reading, cause you are total fucking piece of shit and a total disgrace to the vintage gaming community, fuck all of you who do this shit!!!!!!

I'm surprised that no one seems to have heard of this. I had these in stock at $9.99 at the GOAT Store until just recently when we had a run on them, apparently when the "news" broke that they were a rare variant. I am pretty sure I've had them listed for at least five years.

There is a small group of die hard color variant collectors but what makes this one special is that it fixes a glitch on a recalled cart. As for why no one knew about this they were hurting for cash and must have kept this on a hush hush basis to save money.

I'm sure if you would have listed this as the glitch free or mail order only cart on your site it would have sold much quicker.

Shit, this is rare? I thought it wasn't, I'm pretty sure I've spotted a few of these over the years (but since I don't give a fuck about the N64...)

There is no confirmation yet that it truly is glitch free, nor that it is mail order only. The way that I purchased all of our copies years ago would have indicated neither as very likely. The glitch thing I might agree with, but since you have to play co-op to figure it out, it isn't something I've done with that game (I can't say that I play every game the GOAT Store carries, sorry ). I labeled them as grey, and maybe it was just that no one was looking for that variant. All I'm saying is that the eBay auction most definitely wasn't the first known discovery of that cart.

It appears some people did know a grey cart existed and less that it was a replacement cart which fixed the bug in the black cart. The discovery if you can call it that was only to the collecting community.

Since the "discovery" a few threads have been uncovered where Turok players describe the bug and the way to fix it by sending the cart back to the company for the grey cart replacement. The few people who did care enough to do so later traded in their carts when they moved on to the next system. The fact that these carts were later found in used game store inventories does not discredit the story. Finding none in used game store inventories would be more suspect.

I think that it more than just "appears" that some people knew about the cart before, as it has been found in multiple threads and whatnot, and I have data pointing back to 2008 that the GOAT Store had them listed as such in our inventory. It seems, however, that people want to believe that there are only 120 of these in existence, and there is no way that the game could have been released in any other form.

For the amount of copies of it that have passed through my hands, it's too high for it to be just a mail-in thing and that it had to be released in some numbers somewhere. Since 2008, I've had about 100 copies pass through my hands, and about 10 of them were the grey version. Are you really saying that 10% of the people who traded in the game thought to mail it in for a new copy, and then didn't think they had something interesting to keep? I'd believe that *some* would be right, but considering the amount that I've seen, to me it had to be released in higher quantities. Besides that, from having seen and talked with some people who actually produced games at the time, the minimum order was probably 5,000 carts if not higher. It would have made no sense for Acclaim to make that many carts to fix a problem that was not a game killer for the majority of people who bought the game (it was confined to a co-op part of the game) and NOT sell some of them. Someone else found something saying that Acclaim was planning on sending the new version of the game out to stores, which is a lot more believable.

But, I get it -- the better story is that these are a never before seen mail in only thing, and almost no one heard of them. There really is almost no way to tell, so I guess that if that is what you want to believe, why not? I won't keep trying to convince you or anyone else otherwise. I guess next time I find some grey carts though, I can get a lot more money for them

The Turok axe was sold to a Turok comics collector years ago. Look for the Turok promotional claw in a wooden crate. There were several of those made.
