I just found it today in a pile of VB games while cleaning out my basement for my get together.

I read it's "rare" and the "rarest of the 14 US VB games.." so.. is it that rare or is it one of those uncommon by comparison games?

It's pretty hard to find, and valuble...

But I wound't hang on to it.

I have a fealing that someday a person in a warehouse will uncover a few cases of thse things. Just like anything else that had funky distribution.

Heh...

I've got 11 of the 14 US games here in front of me.

The only ones I don't have are the NEster's Bowling, Jack Bros and Baseball.

Strange.

Unfortunately, the waterworld's label has got a piece missing. The rest of the games are in great shape.

I've got almost every rare game 'cept two.

Sweet find!

(I've got so much shit just stashed... I can't believe some of the shit I just bought, played once and packed away.)

Also, why would you want to hold onto it anyways. Its not like it was a quality game like other rare games, ie: Metal Slug AES, Mark of the Wolves AES, Dracula X PCE, Radiant Silvergun, etc

This auction still has two days and the game is at nearly $50 bucks. It looks like someone out there wants it.

Well, look at how many crap games got valuable much later because of the same reasoning? I could name a few.. "Chase the Chuckwagon" is a great example of that.

Ehh.. I don't do this for the $$$, it was just a neat find in my stash.. always fun to run across a rare game, especially when it's in your own house. :D

It's rare because because most of the people who bought the game threw it away. I know I trashed my copy, I think it was the worst VB game of them all.
