what are the rarest PAL games?

[Damon Plus]

PAL Knuckles Chaotix is by far the most expensive region IIRC.

I think Fire Pro Wrestling Returns might be tricky to find in certain areas. Not sure which countries or retailers got sufficient copies.

Wasn't Darxide (an European exclusive) the most expensive 32X game?

Probably. Still, comparing that version Chaotix to either USA or JPN is striking nonetheless.

So glad I have a copy


Star Ocean 2 is also pretty rare in EU. I refuse to pay the £60 it commands on Ebay/Amazon. Still yet to see one in the wild.

Kitzune Encounter for MCD and Darxide, T-Mek and Primal Rage are all amazingly rare for the 32X.

2600 PAl getting rare is:
Asterix
Klax
Sentinel (might have had US release)
Pick n Pile
Acid Drop
Ghostbusters II
My Golf (not quite, but getting rarer)
the ITT games

These are rare, but most certainly not the rarest.

BTW: Sentinel did not get a US release. It only exists as a prototype:

Of each title on these lists there are 3 or less carts known to exist.

Speaking of PAL PS1... European releases of Legend of Dragoon and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are way more expensive than NTSC US versions.

yes they are more expensive then the NTSC versions, but they're by far not in the top 25 rare games.. they're just "famous" and popular, hence expensive

just got my hands on a friends PS1,
any colector level games in AU i should keep my eye out for?
thanks.

looking though my snes collection i see i have, and i have biometal and Terranigma.
love em so much ^^

there are many AUS / NZ only PS1 games and sets that are really rare, the top one offcourse being Grand Theft Auto Double Feature (http://www.playstationcollecting.com...t=2564&p=24724)

PAL Knuckles Chaotix is by far the most expensive region IIRC.

SNES:

Starwing competition PAL is rare I suppose (a few thousand made) although one can buy one at ebay at almost any given time (for absurd prices). I let a few pass for far far lower prices some years ago, ...

I've only seen Soul Blazer in it's PAL form once (offline). Since it was in French I resold it and bought the more common NTSC English version with it (while still maintaining some cash to spend)...

One Piece Unlimited Cruise Double Pack released only in Germany.
Dokapon Kingdom was Wii exclusive for PAL (no PS2 there), and I believe didn't reach every country.

Game Boy Hammerin' Harry is very scarce. So hard to find it isn't even documented whether it's actually rare. Too few copies appear at any price to be sure.
