Best of the Best - Championship Karate (Game Boy) price, value & rarity
Game Boy conversion of the Best of the Best karate game, published in the US by Loriciel in 1992. The gap between a very low loose price and a well-valued complete copy points to a title common as a bare cart but scarce boxed, French publisher Loriciel having barely reached the American market. Collecting interest therefore lies in a hard-to-reassemble CIB rather than a landmark game.
