    Have you got any really rare SNES stuff?

    Not talking the usual higher priced run of the mill games but promotional carts, betas etc. Starfox Weekend etc or rarer:

    Anything rare please do share!

    Both Starfox competition carts (US and Europe), the DK competition cart, the Fire Emblem Thracia 776 deluxe pack. That's the top stuff off the top of my head.

        Would be interested to see pics (and know prices - only if you feel like it of course )

          Prices? You mean what they are worth, what I paid for them, or what I'd sell them for?

          (actually in the latter case it's zero, cos I doubt I'll be selling them!)



          I do also have the Starfox jacket from the US competition... bit small on me now!

            I have got 2 UK PAL Starwing Competition carts, both found in the wild, one was free, the other cost me the princely sum of ?1.50

            Two of my best finds.

                Verrry interesting. What do PAL versions of these go for and what do the carts contain - are they like one-level demo things or are they much more than that?

                  The Weekend cart is a competition format with a time limit of 4 mins to score the highest score. Taken from Wiki:

                  A promotional cartridge, Star Fox: Super Weekend (Official Competition) (titled Star Wing: Super Weekend (Official Competition) in Europe), was released as part of the game's marketing campaign in Europe and the US. It featured time-limited single player mode on modified stages, as well as an exclusive bonus level.[2] According to IGN, "The altered start-up screen displays 'Official Competition Cartridge'. Depending on the points scored, players could win a t-shirt, a jacket, or even trips to international destinations. An estimated 2000 cartridges were made."[2]

                  In the United Kingdom, the competition was known as the Starwing Challenge and was held in gaming shops across the country on May 29, 1993.

                      I got some for Super Famicom... but I am still missing lots. I have some for other computers too though. I could take some pictures of my favorite ones when I get home if you would like?

                        Always interested to see the SNES/SFC stuff.

                        While we are talking rare and Starfox, has anyone managed to make one of these (or knows anyone who can?!) ?:

                          The rarest sfc game i own is motoko chan's wonder kitchen.

                          It was a send away promo game from the ajinomoto food company.

                            That's great importaku. (^_^)

                            It is my favorite not for sale game for Super Famicom.

                              Yeah I have got one, its a pretty good game, but short. Decent replayability though on different difficulty settings. Kind of like a mix between Starwing and Strategy!
