[theshizzle3000]

According to the online rarity guide my two rarest are Mermaids of Atlantis(NES) and Punky Skunk(PS1) though Punky Skunk cannot really be counted because it is only the disc. I hope to fix this problem very soon.

[dylan0228]

I had the box for Flintstones: Suprise At Dinosaur Peak. The rarity guide gives the game an R7. I`m sure the box is much rarer.

[.Goomba24]

Mario's Bombs Away (G&W) (R7)
Sega JVC X'Eye (R4)


The X'Eye is hard to find. I only know a few other people who own one. My uncle gave it to me a year back with a load of CD and Genises games.

[bangtango]

From a rarity number standpoint it would probably be Double Dragon for Sega Genesis, which I have never had any trouble finding for under $10, regardless of what the DP Guide says. From a dollar value standpoint, it would either be Super Mario RPG for SNES or Alien vs Predator for Atari Jaguar. Not a very sexy reply but it is what it is.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Apparently its a tie between Action 52(Genesis), and Spot Goes to Hollywood(PS1). Followed up by SMS 3-d Glasses and Chew Man Fu(TG-16).

Dave

[Bassgrabber]

Titan A E demo for PS1, still sealed... DP rarity 8. IF it gets here a CEDCO/Fox poster for the game which says it's available for Playstation console. No idea on the poster rarity, just thought it would be neat to go with the demo. The prototype for this unreleased game, of which I'll probably never see any, nevermind this particular one, is R10 of course.

Great site, cool thread!

[Big Papa Husker]

Suikoden II for PSX.

[Niku-Sama]

Ultimate League Soccer R6 (http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=5596)

[ave]

I'm not sure if I shall post my RAREST or my most EXPENSIVE item. I think Radiant Silvergun is everything but rare, its just expensive because of its hype.

I will just post some of the games you won't find everywhere everytime:

Bomber Hehhe! (Dreamcast)
Samba de Amigo PAL Boxset (The actual game is factory sealed, which makes the "rare-aspect" here :P)
PC Engine Duo in mint condition (near perfect box, perfect interior)
Game Basic for SEGA Saturn
SEGA Saturn PAL System (condition just as new. Has only been taken out of the box once)
New Beatmania Dadada Boxset (ps2/jp; I believe its pretty common in Japan, but in germany or ebay in general, its hard to find because I ask you: who actually wants to BUY a stepmania game? :D )

[suckerpunch5]

Cool Thread

My rares:

SNES:
Aero Fighters (complete)
Chavez II (complete)
Fun 'n Games (complete)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories Premium
Guilty Gear (complete)

GCN
NCAA College Baskettball 2K3 (complete)

DS
Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess Preview Trailer

The rest I can understand but why is the basketball game on GC rare? Limited or cancelled release? I'm sure it has been mentioned elsewhere but enlighten me if you could.

[goemon]

My rarest item (according to the guide) is Mortal Kombat II (JP) for Playstation (R8). I also have Gaia Seed, which is more valuable but of currently unknown rarity, although I suspect it should also be R8.

[vaportransmitter]

Herc's Adventures
Punky Skunk
Spot Goes to Hollywood

All on Playstation and R7. Neat.

[suckerpunch5]

The rest I can understand but why is the basketball game on GC rare? Limited or cancelled release? I'm sure it has been mentioned elsewhere but enlighten me if you could.

Sure. I actually don't know for sure myself, but there are folks here on the board who will tell you that this game saw a release of about 2000 games. I guess Sega Sports decided to suspend GameCube production in the middle of the press run of this game (or something like that). So, very few of these were actually made. Aside from Pokemon Box, it is probably the rarest GCN game (in terms of actual numbers). And, aside from demo discs. Anyways, I think it is gonna end up being hard to get for the GCN as time goes on. We do have some threads about it somewhere which probably have better info, if you do a search. I'm just relaying all of this from memory. I just put it in there cause I'm assuming it is my rarest GCN title. It also gets pretty good $$ on ebay.

[smork]

My rarest would have to be either Chotetsu Brinkinger (R8) on the NGCD or the Ogre Battle LE Box (R8) NGPC. Got quite a few R7s, I believe....

[mailman187666]

as of right now, my rarest items according to the guide are all R7s

factory sealed Bignose Freaks Out- NES
Chase the Chuckwagon (cart) - Atari 2600 (found this one in the wild for $5)
Polaris (green label cart)- Atari 2600
Swordquest: Waterworld (cart) - Atari 2600 (found in the wild for $15)
X-Com UFO Defense (disk only) - PS1 (found in the wild for $10)

my most valuable is my U.S. Panzer Dragoon Saga

[Celestial Avenger]

Eh, the best I have is Lunar: Eternal Blue for Sega CD.

The girlfriend, on the other hand, has Panzer Dragoon Saga.

[themessengerofSONY]

a factory sealed mint condition game gear t.v. tuner
a factory sealed mint condition copy of Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars
factory sealed, cracked case otherwise fine copy of Earthworm Jim: Special Edition (NTSC), for Sega CD
and a factory sealed NES satellite, which is a wireless multiplayer adapter for the NES... got it last year for $3 on ebay, but never got around to finding what it's really worth, if anyone could tell me that would be great:D

[skankinmack]

i guess it'd be my flintstone surprise at dinosaur peak (loose) or my sealed sunday funday and big nose freaks out

[izret101]

My rarest item (according to the guide) is Mortal Kombat II (JP) for Playstation (R8).

Me too :)
Being an MK collector it is the hidden "center piece" of my collection. I need to get a way to display it properly.


As for that Yu-Gi-Oh game being an R8 that might be because of the cards it contained.

I know way back when the cards were worth like 30 bucks a pop alone. My bro sold them at school after consulting a Beckett guide i believe.
Not bad since he got the game for 10$s at blockbuster :)

[Zadoc]

According to the guide, Percepts for my Odyssey is my rarest game. However, my most valuable game is probably Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Percepts - Odyssey: 8 (I disagree, most O^1 systems on eBay come with this.)
Alien Raiders - Microvision: 7 (Maybe a 7, maybe a 6.)
Sea Duel - Microvision: 7 (More like a 5.)
Super Block Buster - Microvision German Import - 7 (More like an 8)
Panzer Dragoon Saga - Saturn - 6

[incik]

wasnt sure if I should post this here
but I considered it to be rare since I havent seen it else where

I have Ljn TOYS LTD. NES Promo Cards

it has:

X-men
A Nightmare on elm street
The karate kid
Town and Country Surf design
NBA
Official License Major League Baseball
Gotcha
Friday teh 13th
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
BeetleJuice
Jaws
World War III
Back to the future
NFL officially licensed product
Pictionary
Roll and rocker

and just found out that the World War III NES game was never released or made and no ones ever heard of it

I think this would be considered rare

heres a pic of it, its below jaws

what do you think ???

[Centinela]

Miracle Piano Teaching System (CIB)
SMB/World Cup/Tetris (CIB)
Phantom air mission (CIB)
Snowboard challenge (CIB)

:)

[DigitalSpace]

Nothing that impressive, but I've got two R7's:

Zero The Kamikaze Squirrel (SNES, cart only)
Joshua & The Battle of Jericho (Genesis, cart only)

I had a cart Fun N' Games on the SNES (R8) for a short time in early 2004, but I got an offer I couldn't refuse and traded it off.

EDIT (1/19/08) - I now own a third R7: Hurricanes for the SNES (cart only).

[Xevious]

M82 demo unit, pal-A (NES)
Mr. Gimmick w/manual (NES)
Vermin w/box (G&W)
VCS 2600A promo copy w/box (Atari)

[wallydawg]

I guess technically it's Starfighter for Playstation. Sure it's only worth $5, but it's a R7 in the DP guide dammit!

Lol all that aside, it is prolly my boxed copy of Little Samson. Too bad that I dont have the manual.

[TurboGenesis]

My rarest games are:

R9 Magical Chase - Turbo Grafx 16
R9 Dynastic Hero - Turbo Duo
R8 Dungeon Explorer II - Turbo Duo
R8 Super Air Zonk - Turbo Duo
R8 Fox Hunt - Playstation
R8 Aero Fighters - SNES

too many R7's to post.

These are based on rarity ratings found in the DP collector's guide - Advance Edition

[Poolikus]

I would have to say the rarest I have is the Legend of Zelda Gameboy camera. The Gold camera only available through Nintendo Power.

[DigitalSpace]

See this post (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1466216&postcount=380).

[FirstxDegree]

My rarest item would also have to be the centerpiece of my collection

Chrono Trigger - SNES - SEALED, Brand New

[tortue_a]

I have a Splinter Cell Double Agent Game for PC wich is signed by the production team who made it... I think it's rare, in fact, it's the only one like that!

you can see it there:

http://cgi.cafr.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=320086316195&rd=1&rd=1

[RadiantSvgun]

According to the Guide, it would be Guilty Gear and Raystorm, both 7s.

For me, its my complete and near mint Mega man 7.

[Sammelhammel]

My rarest item would also have to be the centerpiece of my collection

Chrono Trigger - SNES - SEALED, Brand New

very nice :)
If you ever wanna sell it...let me know :D

[FirstxDegree]

very nice :)
If you ever wanna sell it...let me know :D

Ha ha. I actually have a very nice offer on it. But as of today I now own a copy of Earthbound Zero for NES.
:D
It is a complete version of the game in English, not just a translation like the ROM's online. The version I have is a copy of the original cartridge, not a dump from the internet. It has a professionally printed label and an official Nintendo dust sleeve.

[Technosis]

According to the Guide, it would be Guilty Gear and Raystorm, both 7s.


Raystorm rates that high? I'd never had guessed....I picked up my copy a few years back from a used video game store $11.99 I think.

[RadiantSvgun]

Raystorm rates that high? I'd never had guessed....I picked up my copy a few years back from a used video game store $11.99 I think.

It's not expensive by any means, just not commonly seen.

[Tokimemofan]

Lunar The Silver Star [Sega-CD] (4)
Lunar Eternal Blue [Sega-CD] (4)
Magic Knight Rayearth [Sega Saturn] (4)
Tales of Destiny [PS1] (5)
Thousand Arms [PS1] (5)
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (5)
The others are 3 or lower, or have a 0.

[Tux]

Rodland
Stadium Events
Mr Gimmick
Prototype - Spy Kid
M.C. Mario (Mac Donalds)
Panic Restaurant
Trolls in Crazyland
Ufouria
Hammerin' Harry

And they are all in a nice divice which is also rare the M82

(Probably forgot some)

[Scrimble]

My rarest was probably my complete Titlematch Pro Wrestling for Atari 7800 in the big box but I sold it. Next in line would probably be...

my sealed Buster Douglas boxing for sms

or my rarest 2600 games

Waterworld
Crazy Climber
Rescue Terra I

[mr_nihilism]

Nothing really rare, but here's a few I have that are not common in this condition:

Castlevania Sotn black label factory sealed
Castlevania Chronicles factory sealed
Castlevania Adventure factory sealed

[Ekudeht]

Dark Wizard (sega cd) factory sealed (kind of hard to find sealed copies of sega cd games; especially this one).

[Gorez]

my rarest would probably have to be...

Sega 32X: Spider-man: Web of Fire

soon it will be something better hopefully.

[corporate_lackey]

Two of my rarest cartridge games would have to be some Commodore Vic-20 ones:
1) Frogman by Machine Language Games
2) Fun With Music by Epyx (which I cannot seem to find listed in the Digital Press Online guide):?

[darkcat]

My rarest item would have to be castle hassle for atari xe Complete boxed. or possably stadium events ntsc-usa but its not boxed i know it worth more but not sure if its more of a rarity.

[Arasoi]

Great thread.

I can't choose one, so I'll list my guesses:

VS Castlevania complete conversion kit
Playchoice 10 Castlevania daughterboard
Castlevania (Amiga)
Castlevania Lament of Innocence: Special Edition(not to be confused with Limited Edition)
Haunted Castle (arcade)
Akumajo Dracula (arcade, japanese haunted castle)
Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight official hat and jacket

Less rare items include Vampire Killer Megadrive, Dracula X: Rondo of Blood, etc, but these items despite their high cost, are far more pedestrian rarity wise than the listed items.

[Steve W]

I don't have a whole lot of really rare stuff. I'm not too hardcore a collector. But here's what I have...

Body Slam Super Pro Wrestling (Intellivision) R7
Diner (Intellivision) R7
Stadium Mud Buggies (Intellivision) R7
A.I.R.C.A.R.S. (Jaguar) R8
Bignose Freaks Out (NES) R7
Quattro Adventure (NES) R7
Iron Soldier III (technically it's the full game with 'demo' written on it) (Nuon) R7
Keio Flying Squadron (SegaCD) R6
Bonk 3 (TurboGrafx-16) R8

[freckledpeas]

My rarest item is easily my Daewoo Zemmix (CPC-51B). It took seemingly forever to find!

[bangtango]

It'd probably be something on the Atari Jaguar. Either the unreleased Spacewar 2000 game or Charles Barkley Basketball, both of which I ordered online last year.

[Gamebrain]

Playstation:

Discworld (R5)
Herc's Adventures (R7)
Psychic Detective (R8)
Titan A.E. demo disc

Saturn:
Lunacy (R5)

I do own a limited collectors RE4 art cell shrinkwrapped from the Gamestop limited edition, i dont know if that counts.

[Magnum]

my R6 games...

SNES
-----
Aero the Acrobat 2
Sim-Ant

NES
----
Mermaids of Atlantis (with box)

PS1
----
Klonoa (no case)

Nothing remarkable. But I did get them out of the wild

[DefaultGen]

.....

[Sammelhammel]

the rarest item which I have and which I got 2 weeks ago:

Castlevania Symphony of the Night (PS1, Multi-PAL, factory sealed)

the holy grail of my collection so far and the second highest game which I can get for my collection.

[Mr_Elimin8]

My rarest would be my two copies of Team Buddies. One brand new, one opened (complete) in mint condition.

[racecar]

super street fighter 2 snes- sealed

[Penguin]

Ive got a complete boxed Tengen Tetris (R6) for NES, and complete boxed Bubble Bath Babes (R8)for NES.

[Shrooin]

Burn-In Test Cartridge (R9) for Super NES only other game that comes close to that in my collection is a Bitcorp Multicart for 2600 (R7)

[backguard]

i picked up a sealed team buddies (psx) a few weeks ago (R8). kind of cool.

[thetoxicone]

Lets see mine would probably be my starfox super weekend cart with high score card that came with it when ordered through nintendo power.

other items that don't really have a rarity rating that I would consider fairly rare would be all my blockbuster world game championship swag (bag, shirt, game promo items, hats and so on) from when I went to the national competition after winning my state's competition. A nintendo store display that lists all the things they won't put in their games (like blood, sex, etc.), this was from the mortal kombat era when nintendo was trying to keep a clean image. A sega genesis Street Fighter 2 Championship banner promoting the game coming out on genesis.

[greedostick]

Dynastic Hero english version for turbo duo

Also english magical chase HU-Card

Gjost Lop MVS cart. Don't know if that really counts though since it was made by a guy who had the original cart and made me a copy from the original.

[Hounder]

About to be Stadium Events with the box. Already have the box, getting ready to pick up the cart, now just gotta find that dang manual :)

[mb7241]

An update from whatever previous post I might've made...my rarest:

Final Fantasy (MSX, complete) (thanks, Adol!)
Action 52 (NES, complete) (thanks, wberdan!)
Darkman proto (late beta/final) (NES) (thanks, DreamTR!)
Flintstones: The Surprise at Dino Peak (NES, cart-only) (thanks, Goodwill_Hunter!)
Legend of Zelda Collection (Japanese Gamecube, complete)
Team Buddies (this game just seems to find me...seriously...I have two copies, the 4th and 5th different copies I've owned) (PS1, disc-only)
Valkyrie Profile Limited Box (Japanese PS1, complete) (thanks, bleedingblackthornedrose!)

Probably a few more I'm forgetting...

[ApolloBoy]

I think the rarest game I have would be Golden Axe Warrior for the SMS. I got mine CIB about 3 years ago at a thrift store for only $3.

[TurboGenesis]

R9 Magical Chase - Turbo Grafx 16
R9 Dynastic Hero - Turbo Duo
R8 Dungeon Explorer II - Turbo Duo
R8 Super Air Zonk - Turbo Duo
R8 Fox Hunt - Playstation
R8 Aero Fighters - SNES

These are based on rarity ratings found in the DP collector's guide - Advance Edition

I just picked up a factory sealed Fun 'n Games for the SNES and at a fair price too!

[Lemmi_Is_God]

3DO - Dinopark Tycoon
2600 - Gravitar, Atari Video Cube
7800 - Tank Command, Mean 18 Ultimate Golf
Colecovision - Frogger II: Threeedeep!

NES - Maxi-15(boxed/sealed) - not really sure whats rare with this system and i have 250 games
Philips CD-i - Zelda's Adventure
Sega CD - both Lunars (are these considered rare or just expensive?), Snatcher
Genesis - Mutant League Hockey (i consider this rare)


the rest of my systems from Xbox down that arent listed i really have no clue whats rare
Saturn i could go by which ones costed the most but cost isnt a good rarity guide :)

[Clownzilla]

I have a couple of never released prototypes:

World Championship Pogs - for N64
Slap Bracelet Man- N64

[Insaneclown]

I believe my US Metal Slug 2 for the Neo Geo AES is the rariest game I own.
