I just received an original PAL copy of Klax that I purchased off Ebay.

So I think the details on the guide are wrong as this cart is not a prototype, unless it was just never released on NTSC?!

Maybe the rarety guide should be updated.

The NTSC version of Klax only exists as a prototype.

The PAL version was a standard release.

The rarity guide only lists North American games by default. In order to see a world-wide listing, you need to select "All" in the search box.

The NTSC version is never official release, but there exist Prototypes from them. Tempest own one if I not wrong. So the NTSC version is a Prototype. And its diffrent from the PAL version.

The PAL version is an official release. And no Prototype. But the NTSC is one.

Oh yes, sorry I did not check the search form properly.

I've just been playing Klax, its a very fun and playable version of the game. Pity its missing the 2 player option though.

How rare is the 7800 Klax?

There's supposed to be ten or less known real protos of it.

Now pirate copies of it, on the other hand...

Are you talking about just NTSC Klax prototypes?

Yes, I don't think that there is a PAL version of 7800 Klax.

You're right, I was confusing it with Sentinel.
