What are the top ten rarest NES games & price check.
Luckily, I've got some excess money to spend on NES games.
I'm wondering if I can afford any of the rarest games. Let me know. Of course NWC's are on the top of the list (at least I think). Thanks guys. Include 1 through 10 list and just an estimate you'd think they'd go for. I want to try and get a unique NES game with this cash.
I do realize it's impossible to get it down to top 10, what I mean is just name the top ten you know of and the way you'd order them. Thanks guys!

you can get an estimate of prices in the most current NA newsletter or ebay completed items.
you can get it for 85 or so
Neil, download any of the e-Zines to see the loose prices for all NES games, no need for price estimates here if that's what you are shopping around for.
And there are multiple unlicensed games beat the pants off of any licensed NES game except the special case of Stadium Events, without a doubt.
1. Stadium Events
2. Myriad
3. Hot Slots
4. Bubble Bath Babes
5. Peek a Boo Poker
6. Caltron
7. Cheetahmen II
8. Flintstones 2
9. Bubble Bobble 2
10. Action 52 (debateable if should be on list)
I can't remember the exact rarity/price for each but minus the NWCs these are the ones that I considered in the top 10
1. Stadium Events
2. Myriad
3. Hot Slots
4. Bubble Bath Babes
5. Peek a Boo Poker
6. Caltron
7. Cheetahmen II
8. Flintstones 2
9. Bubble Bobble 2
10. Action 52 (debateable if should be on list)
That's a pretty good list if you ask me.
The last three on the list can be found for less then $150 apiece loose, so those would be good starting points.
Good luck with your search.
Where can I find them & prices?
You may have to scroll down just a hair on the main page to find it. The latest issue has some great articles about screw variants and NFR carts.

Anyone want to explain why Stadium Events is such a rare game? CIB price?
Like why are they going for $200 on ebay loose. But the e-Zine claims it's 1,200 loose?

Golf

Stadium Events was released as World Class Track Meet, and very few of the originals pre-recall exist.
Especially because it wasn't bundled with the pad - a different game - Athletic World was the one sold with the pad (and is almost as rare to find complete with the original Bandai packaging)
Thanks again. I downloaded a few e-Zines now.

The loose one you're seeing is PAL - it was released overseas (called the PAL market) and is considerably more common to find in that format. There are label and program differences from the NTSC (north american) one that's the rarest.
The e-Zine only covers NTSC prices.
You can also go into the game database here and click on the rarity leverl to sort everything by rarity. Look at the 9s and 10s. If you're looking for something sealed (because I think you're a sealed collector) these rarities might not align quite right.

Myriad 6-In-1
Flintstones : The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak
Hot Slots
Peek-A-Boo Poker

Those that might cost you a big chunk of change to acquire CIB Mint :

James - your list is spot on... ROFL

hehe, what can I say? Things that are sealed appeal to me so much.
I notice a lot of Panic Restraunts on the list. I can get a pretty mint CIB for $100 CAD locally. Is that a deal. Sorry to jack your thread Neil.
IF you can find a seller... 6k.

$100 is a great deal IMO. I'm paying $150 for mine.
1. Stadium Events (R10/$10,000+)
2. 6-in-1 Myriad (R10/$2500-$3500)
3. Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak (R9/$1000-$1200)
4. Hot Slots (R9/$1000-$1200)
5. Peek-a-Boo Poker (R9/$1000)
6. Bubble Bath Babes (R9/$1000)
7. Cheetahmen II (R9/$700)
8. 6-in-1 Caltron (we'll assume black back label, since it's the more common variant, versus the royal blue back label (i.e. not the one Robe24 has been selling); R9/$800 w/questionnaire)
9. Chubby Cherub (cart is fairly common, btw; R9/$400)
10. Donkey Kong Jr. Math (cart is fairly common; R9/$400)
Other rarer CIBs, in order, 11-20:
11. Sqoon (R9/$175)
12. Athletic World (Family Fun Fitness) (cart is fairly common; R9/$300)
13. Little Samson (R8/$250)
14. Secret Scout (R8/$200)
15. Mario's Time Machine (R8/$100)
16. Pro Sport Hockey (R8/$150)

18. Bonk's Adventure (R8/$200)
19. Color a Dinosaur (R8/$150)
20. Power Blade 2 (R8/$125)
Bubble Bobble Part 2 is significantly further down the list for rarity (it's on the low end of R7, I think), but its popularity pushes its price up into the top 12 or 15.

Haha, I enjoy learning as much as possible so it's all good Ryan.
Anyone know of sellers at 6k? Technically my family gives me back my scholarship money to college whenever I want to ask for it. And I would have over 6k, but I can't ever see myself actually spending that much on a game. But hey, you never know.

I sent you a PM, and you might want to edit that last post
