Motor City Patrol
Seeing that this was the only actual released game by Matchbox, I'm sure it wasn't printed in a large quantity. How hard is to to really find this cart? What about the box and manual?
I've been 'collecting' NES games for the better part of a decade now, and I've only seen maybe 3 copies in the wild-and this is from checking stores in cities like NYC, St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, and my hometown of Cincinnati. I kinda wish I'd grabbed the extra copies, looking back on it.
I clearly remember playing through it as a kid, and it was one of the first games I went after when I seriously started collecting. The Funco newspaper always listed the game at an inexpensive price, but never had any...much like Stadium Events. I even called other stores in the country, hoping to secure one. We finally got a complete one in at the Funco I worked at in a random shipment. It was pure luck that I got my copy.
I like to look at this title as a 'sleeper' when it comes to rarity.
Thoughts?
