This is probably a really dumb question -especially since I should know this- but when exactly did the red label NTSC variant of Yars' Revenge become an R5?
I haven't really followed 2600 rarity guides for a number of years, but I don't remember it ever appearing on them until relatively recently. In fact, I didn't know there even WAS an NTSC red-label Yars' Revenge until a couple of years ago. But, they don't seem too hard to find loose/used on places like eBay (as opposed to once-rare-now-commonish NOS titles like Ikari Warriors and Motorodeo), which tells me that people actually had copies of it in the late '80s/early '90s (unlike Ikari Warriors and Motorodeo).
For a long time I understood this cartridge to be either PAL or nonexistant, and suddenly (seemingly, to me) it's fairly garden-variety. So...what's the story?![:-D]()
