Just fixed some rarities and... added the remaining needed cart scans

Every main cart has a scan now!

I haven't browsed through but I'm pretty sure last time I did the nfr's weren't listed. Are they now or is it a work in progress?

Looks good. Stunt racer could be a little higher (6,7,7 IMO) (and indiana jones a little lower (4,6,5) but it is good to see a rarity guide of the n64 taking form. I have no idea of the rarity of games that were released in both PAL and NTSC (as I just buy the PAL version) so quite a lot of those ratings are pretty interesting.

(Cool - I'm now a 'crack trooper' )

Nice Alec. I don't suppose you did my PAL and JP additions too?

i have a harvest moon 64 manual if you need the scan for the database.

aleckermit thanks for taking the time to do this. Looks pretty good overall. Now start on the gamecube one!

sweet!! makes a good reference point for me. although I see a few things I don't agree with I see some titles I had no idea were so uncommon. Thank you for putting in the work.

Whoa, it finally happened! Looks good so far, there are a few I disagree with but for the most part it all seems about right.

I agree with jone that the 10-point scale should be relative to other titles in the library. Otherwise the Sculptor's Cut manual would be like the only 7 (possibly 8) and too many titles would be lumped into the common pile. Everything would just be too warped.

I'm surprised Goemon's Great Adventure isn't a more expensive title, considering how Mystical Ninja starring Goemon is a bit of a cult hit. I'm still not convinced it's worthy of a 7, at least in cart form, but then again I just outright bought it CIB from someone on here and never really looked for it.

So are we just going to adjust the rarities based on discussion, or is there a system to it? I don't want this rarity list to end up like SNES where box/manual rarity = corresponding cart rarity, we can do better than that.

Well, I must applaud you for getting the ball rolling. I was halfway through one that I made and never updated it. I told myself I would after finishing the set... and never made any more progress.

Maybe I can go through and tweak the box / manual rarities at a later date. However, one note on rarity.

I view rarity as relative to the platform. So in my mind, Sculptor's Cut Manual is the N64 R10, box is an R9 and cart is an R8 maybe. I'm not saying that a Scuptor's Cut manual is as rare as SE, but in terms of N64, it is the hardest item to obtain by far.

I'm only looking at the top, but Stunt Racer and Beast Wars are equals IMO. I think ISS 2000 ranks behind those two. Goemon farther behind than ISS.

I see Indiana is now R4/R7/R7? Definitely no more than R4/R6/R6, maybe even closer to R4/R5/R6 (cart / box / manual). Been so many CIBs this year I've lost count. At least 20 to 30.

This should spark some interesting conversation though, curious to see people's opinions. I actually had didn't have Goemon anywhere near the top of my list, but maybe I just got lucky on one and never paid attention to it.

Currently adding N64 rarity-ratings to the database

All done.
