You are missing ATV Quad Power Racing.

I never win anything. The losing streak is over! Now to buy a lotto ticket!

In 96 I was part owner of 5 Video Rental Stores in CA. Everyone got an N64 for Christmas and wanted to rent games. I had no idea how popular it would be and only had 4 of each title per store (could have bought as many per title as I wanted before December). Well if you remember no one had games for sale and my customers were very sad. I hate the N64 to this day. Every time I see one it reminded me of the weeks after Christmas and all the calls and requests to hold games when they came in. No one ever brought them back, just re-rented or said they lost it and paid me for the game. It was madness!

Lol, I just lost a fairly nice LA rated E CIB (box has K-A though) with a bid of 177. I did get the seller to send me pictures of the box and manual date codes (980819 and 980820 respectively), so I'm pretty sure a rated E box doesn't exist. 

EDIT: I should also mention my rated E cart has a date code of 9834 which is the week of Aug 16, 1998.

All mysteries solved with this and the SML E auction! I can finally sleep easy!

@RpgCollector do you use a neural net or something to find these variants? I'm trying to think about how long it would have taken me to find something like this without just stepping through the entire library and inspecting every photo on the internet.

Stupid no-revision variants!!

Sorry trade secret, but I have been a data analyst for 23 years and a nerd for twice as long. Man I am getting old. I collect box variants also, 3x as many of those!

just checked mine is a TM with 98 chip.  now have to add to the list.  thanks for the keen eyes @RpgCollector

Saw a pic of the R cart/box/manual about 4 years ago. This is the first R cart I have found from then till last week (still need the box/manual). Pics of the board:

Because it is Christmas time thought I would share a super rare cart variant:

Stuff from the last few weeks. Missed 8-bit Xmas 2019 last year was happy he had it for sale again. Need to keep the complete set. Love the Vectrex pins to go with the homebrews.

Just finished Ready Player Two. Not as good as the first but an easy fun read. He set it up for a side book staring the low five and their quest. I bet he is a fan of Orson Scott Card. Felt like he was setting up a Enders Shadow type side book.

I am picking my own collection name as stated in another thread. My 8,000 CIB game collection is “That Assholes Collection”  Once again, every last game has been rubbed on my genitals (some more than once!) It is the trade mark of my collection. Now to share the news with Wata!

Well, I hate to disappoint but I posted it on my IG a while ago and forgot to post it here.

Life comes at me in waves and I had a very, very busy three months.

Anyway, here's the results.

 

Yep...Electrobrain logo

 

 

I think I solved the Mouse trap hotel Electrobrain only cart issue. Though it does raise a question why the R release before the TM release? So Electrobrain released this game first for MB. Then MB released it them selves, then Electrobrain again with the -1. This is supported by the date codes on the boxes. Electrobrain first release 20904, MB release 30208 and last -1 Electrobrain 981028. The USA release date was October of 1992, so the Electrobrain box code fits with that.

There are not as many as you think.

quite possable second run games from 1989-1992... maybe 75???

No, not that many. Nintendo was very erratic with this specific variant.

what is the code on label?? possibly 09  and 22??

They both are 22

There are a lot of them. Another teaser pic

Uhhhhhh now we need to look at every game in the library again, right? For differences in that icon?

Or just buy my book when it finally comes out. (If I can just get the last 6 boxes I need!)

Hold up! It's not often we find something new around here.  Can we get some board picks?!  I'm curious which was first and when they were manufactured.

A cart variant I did not see on your list. You have to look close to see it!

I have had the same avatar for years on many sites. It is how I feel when dealing with trades and employees, LOL

I've said it and I've meant it, but my CIB SML-2 is the gem of my collection.  I know it's not worth a lot to anyone else, but for someone to get that one out of my hands, they'd have to offer a looooooot for it.  Even then, I know I'd regret it.  These Rated-Es are pretty rare so the CIB I have is the only CIB of these games, much less any one that was sealed.

You mean CIB SML 2 -2 correct? If not pics please!

They were sold at Walmart.

Ok I have become obsessed with Nintendo DS bundles/pack-ins. Already had 2 but found almost the rest of the set. I guess I am just missing the single Snowman, Santa and Elf. So if you have for sale, you can get money out of me.

A member here has a great video about these useless items. Good watch:

Sunsoft was having original Gameboy games made and selling then in as late as Christmas 2000. The last prints of all 3 Pokémon games red, blue and yellow were in 2002.

My stuff from this week
