Problem is a lot of the things we're finding are along the lines of 'had no idea actually existed' or at the very least might not have been released.

Lists unfortunately also mainly just increase prices, people Google the name of a game they have, find it on a most wanted list, and immediately charge 10x more for it.

There are quite a few games we've found that are rare where I do wonder even after finding them if they were actually released, or if maybe there are 'more finished' versions out there, because they seem rather incomplete. At what point do you actually strike something off a list? Plenty of things with incomplete dumps in MAME I'd still consider 'most wanted' personally too, even junk like IGMO and the Kyle Hodgetts craptacular Masters of Kin, which I'm really surprised we haven't seen again to dump the colour data from.

This puzzle game is a nice find anyway, completely different game to Lup Lup Puzzle even if they basically reused half the text for the title.

One of my current 'most wanted' is a Radica 'Opus' TV Game, for some reason, while we've been able to locate all the other Radica XaviX based games easily enough, that one we haven't. It was sold at the big chain stores etc. so shouldn't be that uncommon, but I guess they're all gathering dust on bedroom shelves. Still have no idea if we'd be able to dump it if we got it tho as some have pads for dumping exposed, some everything is under the globs. It shouldn't be an expensive toy at all, but by putting it on actual most wanted lists I can see people with one taking advantage, and there's no way we're paying over the odds for it meaning that the whole process endangers things more than it saves them.
