What is the rarest game you own?

[roo1234]

Some original Nintendo Game&Watch

 

[RemixDeluxe]

Panzer Dragoon Saga, anyone who owns a Sega Saturn knows how much this baby is worth.

I also got Earthbound on SNES, my favorite RPG ever.

 

[FAST6191]

Rarest as in fewest available in general and today. Probably some of my C64, vic20 and similar cassette based machine stuff, especially some of the cartridges and hacking/expansion devices for them.

Rarest as in value. No idea and I tend not to check out what I own on online tat markets. I am always surprised to see what N64 and Gamecube games go for on those though and I picked up loads of games for both as they were failing or had just failed for next to nothing so something in those possibly. I live in PAL country anyway so most things are probably not worth the space they take up under my bed. I mostly pick up games I will want to play again (so not sure why I have N64 games) -- I look at the NES and see some sports game with junk peripheral go for the silly money and I am content to write such people off.

I've got Metal gear solid the twin snakes gcn. Is that game even rare??

 

[Nirmonculus]

I have Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon in a custom made wooden box with carvings. And Cubic Ninja XD

 

[TLOZmaster]

Cubic ninja, Zelda Collectors edition for GC, A japanese copy of pokemon yellow....

 

[KiiWii]

I have 241 out of 243 PAL N64 games (carts only) Snowboard kids 2 is the prized piece.


If anyone has Shadowgate 64 (ENGLISH language version) and Hercules Legendary Journeys: let me know

After hanging out with a retro games store for about 6 months now, I've learned a lot about what is considered rare and what isn't. Most rare games are usually the really fucking obscure titles that nobody in their right mind has heard of unless they avidly collect the games for that platform. Meanwhile the popular Zelda's and Pokemon tend to hold value, but aren't really considered rare due to how many of them exist in the world.

For example, a game I happen to have recently picked up at a yard sale (in loose condition) is a game called Spud's Adventure for gameboy. It's one of the first Atlus games (the people that now do Persona, SMT, etc.)

And it is worth -

Pretty insane huh? If you're ever curious as to how rare something you own is, you can usually tell by its value. You can check all that stuff here, as it is a repository nearly all retailers use to determine pricing on retro and rare games.

As for the RAREST game I own, (inb4BanjoKazooiejoke) I own the Misadventure's of Tron Bonne on PS1.

 

[Hungry Friend]

Suikoden 2 for the PS1, but the case is still lost somewhere at my parents' house. I'm never gonna sell it anyway so oh well, and I really don't wanna spend an entire day at my parents' house going through random shit.

e: Isn't black box FF7 still super common? Game sold like hotcakes back in 1997. I've got that one too along with some others I probably don't even know are rare. I also own original FF6 and CT carts but the boxes are long gone. I'm not selling any of this stuff so as long as it still functions I'm good.

 

[Issac]

Boxed and complete copy of Chrono Trigger for SNES.
Silent Hill 3 and 4 autographed by Akira Yamaoka.

Then I have a few boxed Japanese famicom games that look a bit special... Business economics vol 2 etc.

 

[Vipera]

I don't know about games because I've stopped checking on prices when I found out how expensive PMD Explorers of Sky got (and it makes zero sense), but I have a japanese Game Boy Micro FF Edition.

 

[HaloEffect17]

Kid Icarus Uprising [3DS] and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon [DS]. Both complete with the former complete with the original box, casing, and stand.

 

[Taleweaver]

I've got a SNES and some games covered under some dust, but I don't look at value in terms of what collectors may pay for it.

 

[VinsCool]

I found out how expensive PMD Explorers of Sky got (and it makes zero sense)

I noticed too. I got it for 10 bucks lol.

 

[Redhorse]

Checking the site Chavosaur suggested, first it was nice to realize that the majority of my DS titles were selling high on the Ds list, more than I thought. I only buy them when found under USD $5.00.

BUT when I went over to the PC section and saw more than 13 PC games selling for over USD $10,000. Also a Pokemon DS lite selling over that price..I started doubting those figures.

I do still have my GBA titles of Both GBA Fire Emblem & F.E. Sacred Stone, Both Golden Sun and G.S.; Lost ages, as well as advance wars 1&2 (Black Hole) for GBA. Best of all is I have the Original Nintendo Power Guides for all those games except the first Advance Wars on GBA. I use my GB Micro (Mint condition Black) My Golden Sun guide is my favorite because its a combo 2 fer 1 guide, which has both games. It's amazing how many cultural references Fire Emblem Guide has in it, to things unrelated to gaming. 'Flow Charts and stats galore oh my' ... (repeat rhythmically..)

(sorry for the blabbing... can't help it I'm proud of my mini collection. Oh, and my Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon; L.E. Laser art cell only 1 of 23.345 made ! (he he) It's a shame those guides are disappearing. The new ones contained on cart aren't the same IMO.

 

[zfreeman]

The Mega Man Legends series.

 

[ultramario1998]

Not really sure if this counts, but I'm pretty proud of my copy of Rhythm Tengoku The Best+

 

[TecXero]

I'm not sure. Nothing too rare, but I do have Jet Grind Radio, Vectorman 2, and other somewhat uncommon games still in good condition, many of them still look like they're fresh from the wrapping.

 

[DarkFlare69]

Nothing rare. I buy games I like, not to collect and keep in top notch condition. So probably a nearly perfect copy of SMB3.

 

[Albireo6972]

Boxed and complete copy of Chrono Trigger for SNES.
Silent Hill 3 and 4 autographed by Akira Yamaoka.

Then I have a few boxed Japanese famicom games that look a bit special... Business economics vol 2 etc.

Good to see a fellow SH fan, I have an original black label copy of Silent Hill signed by Akira Yamaoka, and my Silent Hill 3 CD (The one that came with the ps2 game) signed by Mary Elizabeth McGlenn

As for other rare games, I have The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, 999 with pre-order watch (its the watch that is rare though), Cave Story 3DS with lenticular cover (again another item where its not the game that is rare, it's the cover in this case), R.A.D (Robot Alchemic Drive), all four of the first .hack// games (I.M.O.Q, Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarantine), The Beatles Rock Band (Limited edition one, with all the instruments for 360) and most likely a few others, but I don't remember off the top of my head.
