    Default The Most Common Game In Existance?

    what is it would you say?
    the amount of spare Megadrive Sonic 1's i have stacking up is telling me something...
    any advances on Sonic 1, there has to be.. Didnt SMB sell a record figure or something?

    SMB/DH. 50 millions NES's sold, I'd say at least half had it as a pack in. Undoubtedly the most common game in existence.

    What about E.T. for the 2600? Aren't there like 32,000 burried in the desert?

    I'm sure the "SMB/DH" cart is #1.

    But I'm surprised nobody threw in "Tetris" for the original Game Boy.

    That one has to be up there with "Combat."

    It wasn't "32,000" E.T. carts -- it was over 5 MILLION. And they were steamrolled and then covered in concrete to keep people from digging them up. And, they threw in 5 MILLION unsold Pac-Man carts too.

    http://www.snopes.com/business/market/atari.asp

    I'd guess all the pack in games (Combat, SMB, and Sonic) are all up there. For the Atari, you'd have to add Pac-Man and E.T.

    This side of the pond, I'd certainly peg it on Sonic. Probably with Sonic 2 as the runner up.

    GB Tetris is pretty common, seeing as it was a pack-in. But you STILL can't buy it for 25 cents like you can a SMB/DH or ET or Combat cart. Original GB Tetris STILL fetches more money than I would expect on 'Bay.
    $16.09
    $10.00
    $12.06
    $9.99

    For a dirt-common game, it still fetches nearly $10 all the damn time! x_x
