What is the rarest game you own?

[Flirkyn]

Sealed english copy of Ever17.

Pfiou that's quite the treasure

Pfiou that's quite the treasure

Indeed, found it in a german online shop that had a clearance sale. Costed me 35€. Couldn't believe it when I found it.

I used to own dragon warrior 1&2 for gameboy color. I sold it when I didn’t know what I was doing. R.O.B (nes) was a casualty as well.

I basically only collect gamecube stuff and i'm not a collector of much else, but I do have a nearly complete Gamecube Collection including some rarities such as a Panasonic Q, Crystal Chronicles White Console in Box and a Club Nintendo Wario Controller in the box. The Club Nintendo controller was given to me by a friend who wasn't collecting gamecube stuff anymore, so it was actually free. There's a few things I'm probably not going to be able to get like the Gundam Console that is nigh impossible to get.

 

[SANIC]

Some where in my garage I have a copy of Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World

 

[TheLittlestBowl]

Probably Zombie Nation for NES CIB. It went for 600-700 the last time I checked.

 

[Axido]

An unopened MGS V Collector's Edition, I guess. Sadly, it's not the Japanese one with the 1:1 sized bionic arm. :/

And an Undertale CE for PS Vita is shipping to my location right now. That music box pendant really got me sold on this one.

 

[Paranoid V]

A couple of SNES games. DKC3, Megaman X2 and Chrono Trigger

I own more than 30 Game and Watch games. Some of them are rare and collectors are paying crazy prices. I bought them piece by piece over the years and always payed way below the average. At some day I stopped to colect them, because the prices just got too high.

 

[Mikemk]

As a kid I had the Zelda Collector's edition, but the disk broke.

I'm surprised nobody said cubic ninja yet

Not any that I know of, unfortunately. Probably the thing I own that's the most "expensive" game I own would be my Fallout 4 Pipboy edition, but they don't sell for much these days. None of the N64 games or PS1 games I currently own are worth anything.

The Shield Portable maybe, if that counts. I have one of those and people are selling them for like $200-$300 online still I think cuz hardly anyone bought them

If consoles count, I have an original Halo edition XBOX NIB sitting in a storage locker, which would sell for a fair bit I'm sure. I also have a Pikachu edition N64 with controller and Hey You Pikachu + working mic, but no box or anything.

Pikachu N64s have been steadily going up in price. Even those without a box are worth a couple hundred dollars in the US, boxed in good condition they can be worth five hundred dollars.

 

[Ridge]

If I were to guess? I suppose Conker's Bad Fur Day? I probably should go through my collection sometime.

I have three copies in my household. One unopened.

 

[Issac]

I have a few that I hold high in my collection. I don't know if they can be called rare though:

The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition (that Gamecube one).
The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Collector's Edition (Gamecube, comes with an extra disc with Ocarina of Time and Master Quest).

Silent Hill 3 and 4 for PS2, both signed by Akira Yamaoka. (Not rare games, but the autograph makes it a bit more unique. Especially since he wrote "Stockholm" too (in Japanese)).

Chrono Trigger, complete in box with manual and map, for the SNES.

I can't remember any more games I have that may be considered rare... I mean, my old boxed Link's Awakening that I got in 1994... but it's not rare it's just precious to me.
Oh, and I don't count things like these (that I have):
New Super Mario Bro's Wii in a tin can.
Zelda Spirit Tracks in a huge tin can with some figurines.
Wind Waker HD with huge Ganondorf figurine.
Skyward Sword with gold wiimote.

I do have some Famicom and Super Famicom games, some boxed and in super nice condition. Dunno how rare those may be.

I think the rarest game I own probably would be QWAK! for Gameboy Advance. The creator of the original Amiga game over a decade ago bought up 300 rewriteable cartridges and created a GBA version of the game and did a production run of the game with just 300 units. It came in a general single game snap case, a cheap color sticker thrown over the old chinese flash one, and then a color printer folded/stapled manual. It has all the stages, all the features, and a battery to back up your scores too. I have no idea what kind of value someone would throw at such a low run developer created unlicensed game but I think that fits for rare.

You can see it here: http://www.qwak.co.uk/pages/gba/
Just click buy to see the product, the link is to screen shots/info about it.

Actual value wise kind of rare not sure I don't have a heap of stuff but some games go into the hundreds, or higher if you count a game as a pinball machine. Like the topic starter I just have some stuff that can't be had cheap but you can get if you pay up like GB Trip World among other stuff.

Probably nothing, as i don't do collecting (sold my snes and a good handful of games a year ago). I'll have to check the cellar, but if they're not thrown away...
-a copy of gameboy's Kirby pinball land. Really liked this game, so kept it when the gameboy itself was thrown away (it was dead after about ten years since launch date).
-super street fighter 2 turbo on floppies (of which one copied). The first pic game i ever bought, and the second disk had an error. The store wouldn't turn my money (it worked on their machine), so I grudgingly copied it from someone. That incident set my mind on piracy for years, which is probably also why i kept it so long
-Ultima four or five. This is even weirder, as i can't remember how i got it in the first place (it had a manual and a beautiful map on a handkerchief). My PC wasn't powerful enough back then, so i never got around to even play it (besides... i think i could barely read English at that age).

Most of the things I own are PAL games so probably not worth the match, never mind the fuel, used to burn them were I getting rid of them.

Likewise I don't actually know the "rarest", by which I mean most expensive, games for a given system as you in turn get things like NCAA College Basketball 2K3 on the gamecube (it is a sports game, aka the dross you usually have to filter through in car boot sales and charity shops, but apparently it is really rare and so expensive as a result) the wind waker/metroid double pack on the gamecube -- while the base games don't go for lunch money this disc apparently clocks hundreds (it only came bundled with systems for a limited period or something).

By and large I have not really sold or traded anything from the PS1 on up. To that end as nobody wanted them at the time I have a reasonable collection of most of the good PAL N64 and GC games, even still have the cardboard boxes for most of the N64 games (albeit flattened and stuck in another cardboard box). PS1 I did not accrue quite as nice a collection for but it seems some of the final fantasy games and similar don't go for nothing.

I did once pay up for a boxed copy of Tetris Advance, aka the one good commercial tetris on the GBA http://www.success-corp.co.jp/software/gba/tetris/ but I see I can now find that for a 1000 yen.

I mostly only collect games I like or that have a really nice example, or early example, of a given mechanic or gameplay style, or maybe something notable in the censorship world. Kind of kicking myself for not picking up a stack of sega CD games at the dump a while back as it would have meant I own a copy of night trap.

possibly the donkey kong country competition cart that was played in the blockbuster gaming championship. lol
