  Buy Asterix & Obelix for PlayStation 2 -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
I grew up with the Asterix & Obelix franchise (originating in France), and really enjoyed the continual adventures of the two Roman-bashing Gauls, their little dog, the funny names of the characters, so I was initially nervous when I saw a game based on it.
Games based on franchises are notorious for being pretty lousy and unfun, but I thought I would take a chance.
This game is tremendously fun, it has a great variety of gameplay, such as either bashing romans, sliding down an icy slope, sailing in a boat or running to light a flame before your torch runs out of fire...etc. There are tons of collectibles, such as different costumes, and paintings, golden laurels etc.

 Asterix & Obelix XXL2: Mission To Las Vegum Review / Preview for PlayStation 2 (PS2)
This time during their adventure Asterix and Obelix will require the help of a few oddball characters to rid the city of Romans, namely centurion Larry Croft and a certain repentant Roman spy with inside knowledge of new-fangled techniques named Sam Shieffer.
"Asterix and Obelix are global icons on a scale that many of today's so-called celebrities can only dream about, and the time has come to share the massive French success of the Asterix and Obelix video game franchise with the rest of Europe," said Cyril Voiron, Marketing Director, Atari Europe.
We're betting gamers would enjoy a game that pokes fun at their favorite hobby, but we're not going to be foolish enough to suggest that tons of gamers would buy it.

 GAF - News - Asterix & Obelix 2 - First ever
Aiding Asterix and Obelix in their quest to bash all the Romans is a "repentant Roman spy with inside knowledge of new-fangled techniques." His name?
I was wondering how big games had to be before humor was poked at itself.
I do have to say though, it probably has to be DAMN good of a game to be able to pull off spoofs of games without receiving some severe critical lashing out.

 Unreleased NES Games
The basic game is similar to the Super NES version, but the maps are different and many of the characters behave differently or have different abilities than those in the Super NES game.
The game is unusual in its requirement that the driver/player shift the gears (there are no less than six gears in the drag racing part of the game) and in the use of two unique graphic elements: the Dynamic Trailing window and the MB Helicam.
The game seems to be loosely based on the arcade game of the same name, with an added RPG type map.

Of these, 0 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been plaed in another game cabinet, and 22 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.
Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.
