I think your 'how many more' column is pretty useless/misleading. After all, we just don't know. To say that only one NOA DKH was produced is just silly. And there must have been tens of thousands of Tropical fish shippers! We know from reading that there may have been many special greenhouses given away, certainly more than 3, so should this be on the list, just because only one 'known collector' has one? The SNCF octopus springs to mind. Bajen10 has it but he's not a member here. Then again, neither is Taki, so perhaps you should list it? Andy. Sure the SNCF octopus should be listed aswell, but are you sure Bajen10 is not a member here? I know that he is a member but keeps a low profile. :cool: Also Michael said, and I quote " When I say rare items, I mean items which are almost impossible to find for sale or only one or two might be available according to our knowledge." So that pretty much sums it up, of course there were tens of thousands shippers etc. But how many is still around today? :confused: As far as we know right now only Devster has a NOA DK Hockey, lucky him. :biggrin: So I think the list is good as it is. Even though we know that over 20 million games were made.

Kevin, thanks for the info, I'll update the list accordingly. Mike, I think we should post a separate photo of the popeye game then. Can you please submit one ?
Andy, the how many more is simply an estimate according to what I've seen so far. For most things we know nothing, for others, we've heard/read various things or seen them at some point in Ebay without really knowing the buyer. The only reason I wrote that no other noa dk hockey must be available is because after so many years only recently this box appeared. So in my opinion, the possibility of the existence of another one is extremely close to zero.

Other rare loose games that comes to mind is Andrew's (Willsh) Candia Mickey Mouse/Alsthom Atlantique Popeye/Dove Turtle Bridge, Black Vermin (which I own one!), Candia Popeye (not sure if someone here owns one?).

I was going to mention the white spitball, but we know of at least 5 of those, so it is ineligible. I hear what you're saying Michael, but our knowledge and opinions are useless. The DKH proves that point. 2 years ago we'd all say that it didn't exist, just because we hadn't seen one. We were wrong, and in the same way, the chances are you're wrong about there not being any more. There have to be some more. Yes, I agree that the chances of one coming up on ebay is very, very slim, but to say that there are no others in existence is ignoring the events of the past. I think it would be more accurate to say 'unknown' rather than 'none'. Then I guess that applies to all the games on the list I mean what exactly do you mean by '2 or 3 probably'? Have you seen 2 more? or 3? how many? See - useless Ulf, I was just mentioning bajen10 not being a member because Mike asked for owners of rare games to come forward. If Bajen10 is an inactive member, then he wouldn't come forward. My mistake but I hope you see what I meant. Andy.

Hello, I was on holiday and came back today. Sorry for delay. Yes, I have Mizuno Vermin, (Unfortunately, only loose) This topic is interesting since YM-901 were not sold, but there are many rarer items which were sold!! Regards Baluce How about adding the Mizuno Blue Impulse Vermin? I've only ever heard of the game by reading back into the archives. Doesn't Baluce own one? Baluce - Am I correct?

People can submit information about items to be included in the list, even if they're not the owner. I think a link to one's site or photo of the item would be sufficient. Andy, I understand what you're saying but you've missed my point. The how many more column is just my opinion and only an estimate - of course it doesn't mean anything and is subject to change! Kevin, please direct me to a photo of the black vermin. Baluce can you please submit a photo of the mizuno vermin as well ? Anyone know if baluce has a web site ? I know that he visits here rather infrequently. I'll add the Candia Popeye in the list. Michael

According to Taki's site, he has a 'Jet Cette' Donkey kong. Does anyone know what that is? I assume a special branded game like the SNCF/candia, etc.

Yeah, ok, but who's the owner and does he still own these games ? The owner is/was the member Asgeir, I will try to find out if he still has it.
