What is the rarest PAL SNES game ever ?!!!?

[Nu-Eclipse]

FIFA '98: Road to World Cup would have to be in there, surely...one of the last SNES games released over here, iirc?

Oh, and I've personally yet to see a PAL version of Hagane, despite claims made by many on this forum!

[Juste]

I saw a sealed one as well, it sold really high.

Yes Yakumo, Final Fight 2 & 3 were released in PAL and I used to have them both boxed complete ! Could dig out a pic probably.
I also have the US SNES NTSC version of FINAL FIGHT GUY boxed complete released as a rent only game for blockbuster !

Yeah. Not particularily rare, just one of the PAL market's more sought after titles. Always seems to go for silly prices.

Yes Yakumo, Final Fight 2 & 3 were released in PAL and I used to have them both boxed complete !

It's also worth noting, there are two different versions of each in the PAL market.

Can someone confirm if "Prisoners of The Sun" (the second SNES Tintin game) got a UK release or was it France/Belgium only?

Not sure how much help I can be to you here. There are 3 PAL versions of the game, each with a different primary language for the game and box text. German, French and English.

Now, the English has a euro code, but many games released in the UK later in the SNESs life were released with euro rather than UK codes (bloody NOE!). So, it could have been released in the UK, but I personally never saw it at the time so I can't say for certain.

Hard to find, but not that hard. It's a sports title so not many people held onto it - thus a fair few floating around.

Oh, and I've personally yet to see a PAL version of Hagane, despite claims made by many on this forum!

There's a quickie for ya.

Awesome game and well worth having. One of the slightly harder titles to find, but not impossible, though it will usually cost you a fair sum for a decent complete copy.

Has anyone mentioned super chase HQ, thats a hard one to find, especially in box

[Tirian]

Has anyone mentioned super chase HQ

Well, you could of course read the thread and find out ...

[S3M]

Is this going to cover packaging variants?, because if so that's opening a whole can of worms that tbh isn't work getting into for the euro market.

If you're going for packaging variants too, then you're in for a painful ride

Good to see you back tracknine.

Yeah painful is one word to describe it. Not only do you have all the different language releases, but I was thinking more along the line of special variants or some of the few silence box changes, in one country. Super Star Wars is one, along with the black F-Zero then there is all those terrible red boxes reissues. What can I say I'm a sucker for pain however. At least my PAL Saturn collection is almost complete and that includes almost all the variants out there so far.

Now, the lethal enforcers stand alone pink justifer complete in packaging.. that one can be a headache.

Funny thing for me was I got the pink gun complete first, before I got Lethal Enforces on the SNES PAL. Guess it's just the luck of the draw.

Yup.. bloody NOE.

Indeed, one wonders if they believed Europe consisted of only Germany.

I did get Firemen complete for just over £20, which I think is a good price for quite a hard game to find.

(*applauds*)

trackNine, kudos to you! - is that your copy of Hagane?

Wanna make it 3 out of 3? How about The Pirates Of Dark Water?

Then let me commend a brave man, and commiserate with a poor soul. You're going to suffer, man.

Just dropping by. Saw the thread and couldn't resist a peek. Nice to see you still at it S3M.

With those finds it seems you've got quite a bit of luck on your side. Congrats on the Firemen find. Thats a hell of a good price for a damn fine game. Not easy to find and one of my personal favorites which I consider a must have on the system. Jammy git, I paid more

(*applauds*)

Yeah, that's my copy of Hagane, and about the other.. oh wait, Hey, what's this copy of Gauntlet doing thrown on the floor?..



That'll do, right?

What more can I say? I'm truly impressed!

[Smurf]

Soo... Terranigma isn't a contender?

These days I swear any title that isn't fifa or kick off is rare. Atleast according to the retro sections of Gamestation.

[yesteryeargames]

Nah, Terranigma is quite easy to find now if you've got £20 - £30 spare !

Problem with Gamestation is that, they don't tend to get muched traded in or just get the run of the mill rubbish. SNES games can be tricky to find in good condition as well, generally I find Gamestation is not the best place to buy retro game.

There was a PODW on the German ebay yesterday I noticed, so it not that rare it just comes under the none UK released games. Same as Demon's Crest as well.

[zikuta]

Any picture for the Irish Whirlo??!?!?!?!

Thanks.

[saturn-gamer]

Final Fight 2 and 3, as well as MMX2 and 3 were being published by Laguna over here. They are rare, but i've seen them in some shops. Most of them were cart only though.


Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel should also be fairly rare, or was that the MD version?

[yesteryeargames]

Anyone want to add to this thread or the other thread I have just started about what pal snes games were different or had things removed/added compared to the US / JAP ones?

Cheers
