Hey, I won an Konami's Athletic Land cartridge only on ebay for 5 euro's. I always thought this was a very rare game... Is there a list of all konami games with rarity-indication on it?

There are 3 versions of the Billiards game Konami made:
- Sony Computer Billiards
- Konami Billiards
- Video Hustler

The differences are in the font on the Sony version and the intro screen on all 3 of them.

Sony Computer Billiards has 4 options to select the number of players and control type to choose from, Video Hustler had the same type of intro screen and Konami Billiards has an intro screen more like the later Konami titles where you select the number of player using the well known hand and the controls can be both keyboard and joystick at the same time.

There is an other billiardgame with a kind of penguin on the billiardtable if you start the game, named Family Billiard and comes from Pack in Video.
Oh, and I like the music on the end of the game.

Yeah, Family Billiards rules! It's such a great billiards game! Idd, pseudo-3D-like, but PIV quite did some effort on effects measurements!
