Hi! How much does a Space Channel 5 Part 2 PS2 PAL game cost?

I'd also like to know about this game. I have a PAL, UK release of Space Channel 5 Part 2 (distinct from the European edition due to having different ratings labels - the UK version doesn't have USK). This seems to be one of a very small batch of released copies; all sources (including the rarity guide) indicate that it was never released in the UK, but the existance of the copy in my possession - and the few being sold on Amazon Marketplace - would appear to refute this. Most likely it was released and then recalled very quickly.

I can take photos of my copy if you'd like proof (or are just curious) - it's complete with manual.

The xbox version of Robotech Battlecry Collector's Edition seems to be missing from the database.

There's a few mistakes with the guide so I thought I'd post them here.

Metroid for the NES;
The problem is with the description. It says no sequel appeared until the Super NES release of Super Metroid, but there was a sequel for the Game Boy that came out before Super Metroid.

Impossimole for the Turbografx-16;
The title of this game is misspelled. It should be "Impossamole".

Sora Kiba: Operation Code Vapor Trail for the Genesis/Mega Drive;
The first part of the title has been mistranslated from Japanese, the title should be "Ku-u-ga: Operation Code Vapor Trail" as that's what's actually on the front of the cover(though very small in print). Maybe some members here who know Japanese well can confirm this. I'm not sure if it should be Ku-u-ga or Kuuga as both ways seem to be common spellings.

Here's a cover scan so you can see for yourself.

I think Sparkster for the SNES is rarer than R3 I've never seen more than one. Maybe it's just rare in Canada? In either case the price for loose is $30ish not $6 on eBay if you can even find them there.

Defender of the Crown is listed in the Intellivision section; is this a typo? Or does a One-of-a-Kind DOC exist?

Just noticed that Avenger for the Commodore VIC-20 is missing from the online database. It's published by Commodore. I ended up with three copies (two with white labels and one with silver), so I would think that they are rather common.

It's listed as VIC Avenger, since that's the name on the box.

Ah, I only have the cart, so that would explain it.

All Bitcorp Gamate entries are still credited as Korean. They're Taiwanese.

I know people will kill me for asking this
and will say this isn't the right place to ask but..

I was looking at the Complete Game Rarity Lists/Database static lists.

What is G B I ?

Game, box, inlay ?
What would be inlay ? manual ?

I=instructions

[General_Murdock]

oh ok

Thank you very much for answering my stupid question.

I haven't had a chance to go through every single game title by title, but I've seen many SNES and N64 ones that are quite questionable.

Can someone answer this, was "1" just used by default whenever a game's rarity was not known? Because there are a ton of 1s in the SNES database that could range from anywhere to 3 to 7 depending on the title. I find it hard to believe someone would really call those 1s, rather they probably just didn't research them?

Edit AHA - I now realize that does rarity across all platforms, not within a platform. I don't necessarily agree with this but it is what it is and as long as you are aware of it then no big deal.

For example, a Clayfighter Sculptor's Cut manual on N64 is a clear R10 within N64, by far the hardest item to obtain in the set. However, when you compare it across platforms like to an SE box, it is not nearly as rare. I'd still categorize it as an R7 or R8 at least even across everything...

And why not?

I'm fairly new to the game.com, so I question whether almost every game is worth $1. It should probably be more than that.

[vintagegamecrazy]

No every Game.com game should not be more than a dollar. Go and get ahold of several games and try to sell them for more than a dollar and let us know if they do!

[slapdash]

I don't know... A quick check of "Completed Auctions" on eBay shows a bunch that actually sold going for $2-8. I think some of the later, rarer releases are certainly worth more than $1. Though to be fair, we're talking NIB, not cart-only, when looking at these auctions.

You may be right but on the other hand if you're a buyer looking for Game.com games there really aren't all that many $1 games being sold. I just did a quick search on eBay and I didn't see one Game.com game listed under $2.99. I know that asking price doesn't equal value but It's hard to argue that something's only worth a dollar if you can't purchase it for that price somewhat regularly.

This was updated in May for those of you discussing it in July

I have an issue with a few Sega Saturn rarities.
Galaxy fight is a 3 yet it only has 6 sales per year on ebay...
Also, Dark legend is also a 3 but it has only 11 sales per year. I think they should be MUCH higher on the rarity scale.
