How many copies of the genny Blockbuster cart exist?

[suppafly]

So far i´ve never seen a copy of the genesis blockbuster competition cart

IF its so rare, then i guess its even rarer than the NWC!!!!...

Does anyone know how many confirmed copies exist??


Thanks

[-hellvin-]

I would like to know this as well. I'd also like to see a picture of the damn thing so I don't happen to overlook it while I'm out and about. =D.

IIRC Tynstar told me that he knows someone who owns a copy....i think he said it was Portnoyd....but stillll...its got to be very scarce.....I wonder how many copies really exist

[PapaStu]

I know that Portnoyd has one.

I think i remember him saying that there are only like 6 known ones or something to that nature (but I really dont know for sure).

He's leaving for CGE this morning so he wont be back around here until Tuesday, but I'll ask him if I remember when i meet him at the Airport tomorrow morning.

Im sure that there are a few other Genny masters here that know though.

I believe Port's is the only known copy in collectors hands.

[Tank]

I have 1!


No...sadly im joking. But yeah i would like to see a pic of one.

he will have to get us a pic of it when he gets back from CGE...i wanna see what this thing looks like

So...theres just ONE confirmed copy in existance? This game is more rare than a NWC and any other r10 cart i´ve ever seen...!!

I´ve never seen a blockbuster cart in 5 years of browsing ebay!

GunPanther claims to have one (he mentioned it in a post here), but when I pm'd him about it he never replied.. that might be because I also asked if he would sell it though. I wish he would post a picture of it though so we would know that there's at least 2 known to exist.

Joe Digitalpress should have one too. He does have a complete Genesis collection.

So that makes it... 3 copies? I didnt think this game would be so unbelievably rare!!

Maybe It could be the most rare 16 bit game???

I dont think he has one. He had a complete US released set. The BB cart was never released for sale.

yea, i would have to second thinking that...i think one time he mentioned that he needed that cart yet

To clear this up.

Portnoyd's is the only one known to be in a collector's hands as someone already mentioned.

Joe as well as many others who collect Genny (including myself) do not have one and are therefore in line to buy it off of portnoyd. I did have a picture of it, but it was on my old computer. If I can find another I'll post it.

I think i will delete it from my genesis wish list. If only one confirmed copy exists, then its IMPOSSIBLE to be able to find one on ebay or in the wild

Fellows...this is the most rare 16 bit game

[tholly]

i just want to know what happened to all the copies of this game...i mean, there cant only be 1 copy made and there has to be more copies that got out into the publics hands

[MarioAllStar2600]

BlockBuster threw away alot of there classic games from the NES, SNES, and Genny era. I know the 2 ones near me did at least. What are the chances they got tossed?

[-hellvin-]

I'll show you all what one looks like when I find it.

Hahaha...but yeah seriously. Wtf does this thing look like? I demand a picture.

Is it an R9? Seems to be a 10 to me.

[VinnyT]

Wait, do you mean these?:

[vintagegamecrazy]

Whoever does the Genesis section change that to a R10 because it is the only known copy as of now and a 9 doesn't make sense.
