Galaxy 5000 - Racing in the 51st Century (NES) price, value & rarity
North American release of Activision's antigravity racer, set apart from the PAL version by a busier NTSC market context. Its noticeably higher price than the European edition reflects sustained domestic demand for late Activision NES titles and the difficulty of assembling a clean complete copy stateside. The angle remains that of an offbeat racer pursued by Activision catalogue completists rather than for the racing itself.
