nrslam | 477 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Where's a good list of these? I need to check how many more I'm missing but have lost the link to the list I was working from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,091 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Here's my list. Feel free anyone to chime in if I'm missing anything. (And I'm not counting Konami/Ultra and other one-offs, but I do pick them up if I see them - I only have Silent Service so far right now). Ignore the lines with empty spaces; I don't know how that happened or how to get rid of them.

I don’t know if I’ll chase Mike Tyson, Star Force, Mega Man or Jaws. Not when I need a few other nes games that aren’t just variants but the same price. Thanks for sharing the list Morbis, I’m confident my list mirrors that. With what I’d mentioned excluded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,185 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 That's the complete list except for 5-Screw Stadium Events, and 5-Screw R.C. Pro-Am. Both of which are so rare, that everyone's set even with Mike Tyson & Mega Man should be considered complete since there's only 3 known copies of Stadium Events, and 1 known copy of R.C. Pro-Am to have 5 screws. Also on the WTF rarity list is 3-Screw Stinger which is confirmed to exist and even have a matching REV-A / No HT box! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger is an odd one, I only have one photo of it CIB, but multiple reports of owners. So, it's probably not an ultra-hyper-extreme rarity...but it's certainly extremely rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be a refurb. SE totally because it was within the time period during the transition. Also because the game itself is so rare, there arent that many copies that pop up anyway. 3 Screw Stinger still baffles me. They COULD be refurbs but I saw all 3 of NES Ganstas and they all had the same chip date code as the 5s. The box part, I can't help with. It would be nice to see more of those boxes pop up. The fact that it has one means it had to have been printed. The ONLY thing I could think of was, they made lets say 50,000 chips but only put together and sold 40,000? Then decided to put the rest together after the first run sells out, so they reprint the box and throw in some 3 screw shells? The rarity to abundance ratio does not make sense for that game. All the other super rare variants, way more multiple copies have been found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other super rare variants, way more multiple copies have been found. I agree with you that R.C. Pro-Am has just too little evidence to consider it part of the standard 5-Screw club. Also since it was released well after the 5-Screw cutoff date then I think there's just something else going on there. But, yeah Stinger has too much hard evidence showing that it's a legitimate variant. I've attached my "extraction" of the original photos, and the original photos of the box. I would normally discount a photo like this since on some games it's possible to "hide" the hangtab, but that REV-A is sticking out like a sore thumb.

DK | 267 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Yup, it was me with the CIB. I bought it off Ebay in a lot with a toploader and 5 CIB games. No idea what I had until years after I sold it to a member on NA who live overseas. I contacted him several times after that, but he isn't interested in selling it back. Then, randomly I found a bin for a 3 screw cart only and bought it. Made the post on NA about it, then put it on NA auctions, where NES Gangsta bought it....for $250 I think. I have seen one other 3 screw Stinger cart on Ebay in a large lot games, but it was in the sold listings. So, there are more out there.
