Galaxy 5000 - Racing in the 51st Century (NES) price, value & rarity
Activision antigravity racer issued only in a PAL edition for the European market, with no Japanese counterpart. Its appeal rests on PAL status for a niche Activision NES title whose continental print run stayed modest beside the big catalogue releases. The branching aerial-race concept earns a small following among fans of offbeat racers, but its standing is driven chiefly by the relative scarcity of the European pressing.
