Athena bowling, one of the rarest N64 cartridges. Simplistic presentation, basic gameplay, limited AI. Its scarcity makes it a collector's item but the game itself is totally forgettable. Hunt it for the collection only.

Collector interest

North American pressing from late 1997 of an Athena bowling game that stayed nearly invisible at launch. Its collecting appeal is weak at heart: the scarcity comes from narrow distribution and an unremarkable title, not from real demand. The US version still turns up less often than many contemporary releases, which gives it a residual value as a hard-to-find piece for the American completist, more than the status of a genuinely coveted game.
