I'm chasing the same goal myself, and from what I've seen (largely Bock's excellent list) there's 280 'proper' European/Australian PAL releases (I'm missing about 28 :) ). That includes the Image Works/Virgin variations, but not Kixx/Classic reissues. I'll give you a copy of the list I'm working from, if you want.

It's complicated by the fact that lots of US games were imported here after the SMS died an early Stateside death, which is why US releases pop up on eBay UK fairly often.

Yup.

Yup.

Yup, yup.

US only.

Yup.

The Great Soccer cartridge was only sold as 'World Soccer' (the Great Soccer card is a different game)
Great Ice Hockey is US-only (as is the Sports Pad).

Quote
> -Hang on/astro warrior/ - Hangon Safari hunt - PAL?
Nope, US only (I think).

No genuine Euro copies exist, although US copies of Carmen were definitely distributed over here in stores. I'm not so sure on Kings Quest & Montezuma's, but there's a fair chance they also were.

Probably :)

Yup.

Quote

There's an NTSC proto. No PAL version AFAIK.

Quote

Yeah, just released as Secret Command over here.

Yup.

I believe so.

Seems pretty much what I thought it would be.

What rarer (well harder to find anyway) releases are you missing?

For me.. Power strike II, Buggy Run, Super off road,Championship hockey & Sega tournament golf.

Sonic spinball, Home Alone, Smurfs 2, Micro machines, Cosmic spacehead are in the bag. (thankfully)

Cosmic Spacehead isn't really that rare. It pops up often. Neither Micro Machines (maybe it's a less common than Cosmic Spacehead, thought) and Super Off Road, I'd say.

Smurfs 2 is definitively the rarest. Where did you got yours?
Buggy Run and Championship Hockey comes next.

I've asked before and I'll ask again.
Is there any plan to add the game numbers to this list?

The game numbering system Sega used is logical and by far the best way of organising the games into the various families and it allows the easy recording of some of the game variants.
ie. World Grand Prix 5053 vs. World Grand Prix 5080 etc.

Here's one list with lots of the numbers (I this found on the web years ago and have added to it over time)
Its still missing lots of titles.
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~pinwhiz/smsgamelist.htm

Do you need volunteers to collect these?

I'd rank Home Alone, Robocop 3 and T2: Arcade all above Buggy Run - I've seen a few copies of that, but only one or two each of the others. I got my copy of Buggy Run for £1.99 about a month ago :)

The rarest ones I'm still missing are probably Smurfs 2, Champ. Hockey, Home Alone, Robocop 3, both T2's, Ultimate Soccer, Power Strike II and Daffy Duck.

Yeah you're right about Cosmic spacehead..well it was expensive a couple of years ago but those codemasters games really went down in price..

I got Smurfs 2 from IBazar (Dutch version Ebay back in 1999)
25 guilders, unopened. (12 euro ^_^)

YES.

I didn't really work on it yet, but started talking about it with Cortex. He wrote a very good, alternated list but it's in french.

I might convert the list to a database and output to HTML. The slight problem with text is that it's difficult to maintain a proper layout. What do you think?

Do you remember the seller, where he was from?
I got a second copy from German eBay years ago, but handed it over to someone *grin*

My copy of Buggy Run has washed out colors on the side. If someone has a spare one I'll take it.

I think it's the same person from who all known copies originated.

Most Office apps like Word and Excel can output to text with layout. Failing that, exporting to HTML and then saving as text can work.

I'd agree that most of those are some of the hardest titles to find, personally to complete my Pal release collection I need:

Great Soccer (Card), boxed Hang On (card), Championship Hockey,
Speedy Gonzales in Cheese Catastrophe, Home Alone, Smurfs2,
Ultimate Soccer.

+ I would like a few variants: Assault City (7040 – Light Phaser), World Grand Prix (5035)

So if anyone has any of these for trade sing out :)

The Light Phaser Assault City is a curious one - is it as rare as it seems?, or do I just need to look harder at all the normal copies of Assault City?
The last time I saw it sold on uk ebay it was the right cart but it came in the normal 7034 version box. Seller said he bought it new like that.

Buggy Run is relatively easy to find here in New Zealand as are the T2s.

Bah! I traded away a copy of the Great Soccer card just last week. Your best bet is to keep an eye on German eBay - they pop up every now and again, and usually sell for €10-€20.

Yeah, I got mine dirt-cheap by checking every Assault City that appears (it's in the 7040 box). Sooner or later there will be a phaser one.

Not really. He was around at the Gamefaqs board as well.

My ebay feedback history doesn't ring a bell.

You have any ideas? I think I'd reconize it.

Finnish, to be precise :)
So, this *suggests* that there are copies out there other than Mikko's stash, right?
All the ones I've heard about in the past seem to have stemmed from the Pelikonepeijoonit guys, but I was never sure if this was really the case or just Usenet rumours.

Does anyone have any solid info about Smurfs 2 in general? Any idea how many Mikko & Manu found? How many are circulating?

The last one I've heard of that was sold changed hands for around €200.

Re: Smurfs 2
Post Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2004 11:18 am
Haha, amusing what a Google search can turn up...

I'll give you my official version of the story now.

I found something around 10 to 15 mint, boxed copies of Smurfs 2 in the Czech Republic in early 2000. I bought two or three immediately, then had my fiancée (working in Prague at that point) buy some more after I realised how much interest it created. All in all, something like 5-8 copies. In late 2000/early 2001 my brother went back to CZ on holiday, I asked him to pick up any Smurfs 2s there might still be around. He brought back less than 10 copies, saying that the rest (5 to 10) were in really poor physical condition. During my final visit to Prague in early 2002 there was no sign of the games anymore where I had originally found them.

This one sale on eBay Germany that Omar Cornut mentions in his description of Smurfs 2 is the only one that I am totally unrelated to. All the other games around have passed through me at some stage in their life, as far as I know.

So, these ca. 15 games I have eBayed, donated and/or traded to the extent that I now have 2 copies of the game left. One is opened and tested, the other remains sealed. I still receive numerous inquiries about this game on a near-weekly basis, but the remaining copies are not for sale or trade - unless you happen to have a working Dreamcast devkit :)

As for pricing, I think the highest that one of my auctions closed at was $120. Finland, which is my home country as the previous poster correctly pointed out, is a remote country that seems to scare people away... So I'm sure that if, for example, one of the few Americans I sold the game to have auctioned it off they are sure to have received more.

Mail me if you have any further questions...

Over and out,

Mikko/Pelikonepeijoonit
