Legend of Zelda - good deal
Ghosts N' Goblins - okay
Elevator Action - ask for money back
Gumshoe - okay
Solmon's Key -okay
Legend of Kage - ask for money back
Rad Racer - ask for money back
Chubby Cherub - good deal
Popeye - okay

I'm glad I did...I have a boxed copy of a 3-screw/no-code Donkey Kong Jr. to show for it . ]]> 5 screw games http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=3456 2007-11-01T19:17:05 -05.00 xtremegamer 9

Chubby Cherub and DKJr Math are 5-screw only (that we know of).

Really, most 5-screw carts are actually much more available than their 3-screw rereleased counterparts. With no coverage in NP, rental stores already stocked with them and "newer" games getting purchaser's dollars, trusty old favorites still brought in money but nowhere near as much. So second and third (or more) releases were always smaller batches.

It's a cool subset but as far as variants being "worth" more, that really hasn't materialized and I don't believe it will. With the exception of the real outliers like the heretofore undiscovered Gyro, DK & DKJr 3-scr I don't think there's really any margin. Perhaps for some of the harder to find black-label 3-screw oval-seal ones they might be worth one "grade" higher. Instead of a $0.99 common value, it's $4.99 uncommon value, or soforth. ]]> 5 screw games http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=3456 2007-11-01T17:20:39 -05.00 xtremegamer 9 5 screw games http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=3456 2007-11-01T12:21:01 -05.00 xtremegamer 9
