Crap, 1 too many copies in Wisconsin now, is anywhere safe from this disease of a game that is only worth anything due to its rarity?

My thoughts exactly.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure there won't be many of this game out in Africa.

While you have a point, i feel Cheetahmen suffers from the same disease that Socialites have, "being famous for being famous"

Calm down everyone. Cheetahmen II: The Lost Levels is a repro cart, and its creation was funded through a Kickstarter campaign:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/343248998/cheetahmen-ii-the-lost-levels

It cost $60, and while I did not order one, I would be happy that my game arrived safely if I contributed to the campaign.

Actually I'd argue that Cheetahmen/Action 52 isn't just famous/expensive for being rare, it's also infamously shitty.

...and it has a catchy theme song.

Not really a deal but my wife drove to a gamestop 20 miles away to get a copy of Xenoblade chronicles for me. $60 but better than any other price I've seen

Which makes it all the worse, since a) Pabich didn't fix the glitch, and b) the repros aren't worth but exactly the price of a repro. For the money Yoshi spent, he could have had a fixed copy of the game made.

Nice! How did she know the game was in stock, thru the website or did the local Gamestop call? What did you get her as a thank you present?

@ Yoshi - Nice Find even though the game has a bad reputation for being a crappy set of games. Have care, the cart connector might be a little thicker then a 1st party NES cart.

60 bucks or how much and maybe a full review of the different games?

NES Captain Comic - $6.00 Swap Meet
As in Yoshi, I too buy games at times that are unusual from a collector stand point. Yeah the game is crap, but the blue cart was the draw for me. You can't even duck to shoot the short enemy worm in this sideways scroller. One of the reasons why the game has poor reviews, I though that was a programming error. However perseverance pays off, once collecting a zig zag bullet power up any short enemies can now be hit. :D

One unfortunate thing about Captain Comic is the connector is a little thicker then 1st party Nintendo game carts. Not as bad as a Game Genie, but a concern of bending the contacts a little far. My NES has the original true "ZIF" connector where a regular cart can easily slide in without any drag. The Captain Comic cart hits the NES Toaster contacts upon insertion even before pressed down. A pain to remove due to the ZIF loss.

Any game cart I buy gets a thorough case and connecter clean before play testing. This thing had rental and theft deterrent stickers plastered all over it and covering the screw holes. Look closely, you can see how years of sunlight "aged" the fire retard plastic where there were no stickers. Interesting how the PCB has another connector inside, curious what it was for.
