Rarest I got.

[Casati]

According to NintendoAge, my rarest Nintendo item is the box for Bandit Kings of Ancient China. I had two CIB a couple years ago, and managed to find a bidder at auction for the extra on Ebay for about $25. They might be worth more now. I also have the box for Arkanoid. I don't know my rarest Playstation, Atari or Genesis items.

[nensondubois]

Well here's some widely known semi-rare Sega MegaDrive/Genesis pirates I picked up months ago.

Most of my rare games aren't super rare, just higher demand than supply, like Panzer Dragoon Saga and Suikoden 2.

Equipment, about the only thing I have that'd be terribly rare would be the Action Replay for the Genesis. Had to send away for it from a magazine ad and then they came out with a newer version that didn't use the same codes or something so it wasn't very useful in the long run. Of course if I'd just waited I could've gone to any store in America and bought a Game Genie instead, but I'm impatient, lol. I even went to Canada to buy a NES Game Genie back when they were banned in the US.

I only know one other person who has it. I know next to nothing about it. I'd like to know how it was circulated.

EDIT: Doing a little searching, I read where someone said they mailed in some candy wrappers for a Lost World game or demo (forget which they said) but got SSv2 instead.

[xFiercePridex@aim.com]

for me not so much the rarity in general but the hardest for me to find and get at a decent price after 14 yrs would be intelligent qube.

I picked up a complete copy of a ARC thrift store for $4. I'm sure you'll find one like that one day.

[BnGamesReviews]

Tough Call, but some of these I know are very rare

MegaMan X3 SNES
Earthbound
Final Fantasy Tactics Orig.
Clock Tower
Conkers Bad Fur Day

Ive got a crap ton, hard to say what is rarer anymore.

[treismac]

Oddly enough, Darkwing Duck for the Turbografx-16, which was given to me by a friend along with a healthy handful of other TG-16 games.

[chrd]

The rarest I think I own is Guilty Gear NTSC (PSX) (7 on the digitpress guide).

But since I'm based in Europe my collection is mostly PAL where it's generally harder to find real rarity indicators (apart what you see in the wild, which could be anecdotic evidence).

EDIT: Hmm, although it's rated 7 on the digitpress guide there are 3 copies to be found on Ebay at the moment, so that could indicate it's not really that rare :roll:

[Yamazaki]

My rarest titles are probably:


MINT Shock Troopers 2nd Squad for Neo Geo

SEALED Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire for PC Engine and
SEALED Sylphia for PC Engine.

I used to have Darius Alphia too but I sold it.

[shane7951]

I would say either my Ninja Gaiden 3 prototype cart or my Powerblade Playchoice 10 PCB.

[RhetroAktive]

Mine would have to be:

PS1 Mortal Kombat 3 (Jewel Case Version)
PS1 Spider-Man: Enter Electro (Pre 9/11 Version)

[brainerdrainer]

My pirated NES and SNES games

[cd\tony2]

probably Barneystein on disk.
or a Tony 2 patch disk..or RC Pro Am 2
I used to have this game on cassette called Cannibal for the TI/99 4a..i think my dad made it by entering code he got from a magazine..i haven't been able to find any info on it.

[lain21us]

I have a couple real rarities, but these 2 prototypes are my rarest. I know for certain I am the only person who has either of these 2 titles. They are both equally rare. They are both from the same company, which also produced Word Safari: Friendship Totems and Math Patrol: The Kleptoid Threat, the 2 rarest GBA games.

[recorderdude]

My megaman X Gamecube controller by nubytech is easily the rarest thing I own. Sadly, it's got a lot of wear from the previous owner as the rubber on the main analog stick is completely gone and the A button sticks quite a lot, but it did ship with the original half-orb packaging.

[GamerTheGreek]

Id have to say my Mogul Maniac Romox cart for the atari 8 bit. Simply put I have not seen another one anywhere in cart form. Isnt a prototype but its still a neat addition to a collection.

I wish I could get one of those education master carts that dorsett made. I lost out a group lot of 2 of them ( of the same I take it with the same model # on the label) and Supersalt. I figured after 90.00 It was getting out of control. Supersalt I could get online for 35.00 and the dorsett carts were unknowns.

[CloudGT4]

My rarest I would gather by the Price I paid is Bubble Bobble 2 for NES, though I would think maybe due to not many of Jaguar anything being published I am hoping my Cybermorph and Iron Soldier is up there too.

[darkinferno1981]

I think the rarest videogame in my collection is Fatal Fury Special (PAL) for the MegaCD (SegaCD). But I knew the game was a rarity until a week ago :roll:

[DreamStar]

The rarest games in my collection are NWC #260 ,a DKCC cart and a SFSW cart.

[Mark1983]

My copy of Conkers BFD and Grind Stormer for the Genesis.

[TG Bloody Wolf]

Sealed Megaman legends I & II for the original Playstation.

They aren't the greatest hits version either.

[gamebaka]

A sealed copy of 【eM】-eNCHANT arM- Boukun Habanero Version, maybe?

[carlosG]

I have somo rarest games but i dont know what kind of games are...

[Drclaw411]

Definitely this...

7333

[Arkanoid_Katamari]

Nothing too insane. Donkey Kong Game & Watch and Color A Dinosaur for NES.

[kentgames]

A DS game, Emily the Strange, No. 4 of 200 LE copies or Knights of the Temple 2 UK PAL version for the PS2. Have Suikoden, Lunar and other Zelda rare stuff worth more but they're the rarest.

[kentgames]

Also rare to me is a game that you can't get, funnily enough because it's rare. Panzar Dragoon, Suikoden 2 and Little Samson are uncommon games (IMHO), not rare. If you wanted one you could go buy one from eBay, it would just be expensive. Hoppie for the Playstation 2 is a rare game for example, mainly because, again, if you wanted one you can't buy one, because it's rare.

[Zap!]

Probably the Entex Adventurevision or the two sealed AV games I own.

[dj898]

As a Sega Saturn & Dreamcast collector it'd be my Saturn Prototype console.

Recently I took it out and took several new photos while cleaning it as someone from another forum had been asking me about years. ^ ^

[retronintendonerd]

It's not much but the rarest thing I have in my collection is the SHARP Nintendo TV. It's been in the family since it was brand new.

[celerystalker]

Not completely sure, but my US Sengoku 2 and 3 for Neo Geo AES are pretty rare. I know Sengoku 3 usually doesn't pop up at auction much for a legit US or Euro copy. Usually just conversions.

[Niku-Sama]

of the rarity that I know of
I don't know if it would be megaman x3 on snes, the vectrix system or the square button famicom manual (1st rev)

[Tanooki]

As odd as it may be since it's a modern system ever since I picked up the retail boxed version of Retro City Rampage DX that would have to be the rarest game item since there was only a 2000 game print run of that one on PS4.

Probably the same with me.



I buy games that will be fun to play not that cost a lot to look good on a shelf.

[bust3dstr8]

Probably JJ Squawkers....took me 6 years to find one.

[Slate]

If you can call my miniature amount of video-game items a collection anymore, then it's probably this:

1989 Zelda Wristwatch-Type Clock:

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f319/Gargoyle2500/DSCN3037_zpsucnbdu3j.jpg

It's almost five feet long. I bought it in late January 2004 and I only know of four others, InsaneDavid on here has one of them and he may end up getting this one too if I sell it to him.

- Austin

[Bughuntertf]

One Bentley Compu-vision, obscure 1983 Pong clone. Also a GBC game called Azure Dreams.

[Sailorneorune]

I don't know how rare it is, considering there appears to be at least 1 copy on eBay at any given moment, but I'll give the nod to Pulseman.

7890

It's a great game, and I encourage anyone with a Wii to pick it up on the Virtual Console. Sure beats the ridiculous amount people are charging for the original MD cart.

[Tanooki]

Well I got that rare PS4 game a few months ago which had a run of 2000, but I beat that out a couple weeks ago.

Introducing Bally/Midway 1983 - Gold Ball (Pinball machine.) 1750 of them were only made back in 1983 and that's it, it was a rare low run table and also unique as it was the only game to ever have an actual gold (brass) ball to have in play when you meet certain conditions. Initially a random crap shoot of 1-15% of it ever appearing within any games played, but if you have the service kid (or Home ROM v12 which includes that, which is what I have) you can set it to be a regularly earned ball during play. I guess Bally thought better of having a triple score ball almost never show up as it was infuriating to enough people so they made it a skill thing to earn.

I entered the big leagues on this jumping from home pins or plastic tabletop funk but I've wanted one for years, played it at the Louisville Arcade Expo and I had to have it.

Yeah, I don't know exactly how rare it is, but it is definitely getting up there in price. I got a good deal on mine in a lot I got frim a local store that no longer exists. It contained, all complete in box with all of the plastic and paperwork, a Mega Drive 1, Mega CD2, Super 32X, a spare 3 button controller, Sega Tap, and Sega Modem, and about 30 games (all CIB with posters and such) that included some good ones like Pulseman, Sailor Moon, Bare Knuckle II and III, Rent a Hero, Gunstar Heroes, and more, for $200. At the time I wasn't sure if it was a good deal, as I hadn't priced it all out, and didn't know I would be buying it until I got there and stumbled across the huge box it was all sitting in. Turns out I did pretty well!

More info on this?

[Alexander]

My Legend Of Zelda Collector's edition for the GameCube.

[Dormond]

Honestly, no idea.

As far as games go, probably my gray cart copy of Turok: Rage Wars.

Within all my games related stuff, probably either my Hideo Kojima/Tetsuya Nomura signed print from SDCC 2014.

[stealthrush]

Tales of Destiny CIB for PlayStation
had it since release at Toys R' Us

Not sure if other prices have gone up but close second would be Cannon Spike CIB for Dreamcast also had since North American release.

[dj898]

Probably my pre-production prototype Saturn console.
Haven't seen another one in wild other than mine... ^^
11186

[Bobo Mcloud]

Hard to say but if your talking actual rarity wise not value it would be my Frogger 2 n64 unreleased prototype, different from the released version.

[briana26]

For me, every item in my collection is rare but still in case I have to choose one then it will be my speakers by Beats.

[WelcomeToTheNextLevel]

I don't have anything SUPER rare, but I do have a few things that are pretty rare.

My Casio Loopy, CIB and in near mint condition would definitely be up there. (It was 400 bucks, so it better be pretty rare!)

I did a video of my Loopy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQh9QVyee3w

I also have a Vectrex, but it's loose. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties for 3DO, Dig Dug for Intellivision, Mean 18 Golf for Atari 7800, and Golden Axe Warrior for Sega Master System are some games I can think of.

Golden Axe Warrior was 16 bucks, boxed with manual, on July 12, 2009 at a going out of business sale, my favorite video game store closed. I would say easily half or more of my pre-PS1 games are from that store.

It's probably not the rarest thing ever, but I also have Zelda Collector's Edition for Gamecube still in its original shrink wrap! I received it for Christmas in 2003, and it's never been opened. 5,202 days in its original wrapper.

[gbpxl]

marc eckos getting up limited ed sealed on xbox

[Colorado Rockies]

Probably my Dreamcast Divers or NES M82 Kiosk. As for games, I don't have that many super rare ones. Maybe Metal Warriors on SNES or Waku Waku 7 Japanese homecart.

[megasdkirby]

My brother and I have a few. From what I remember,. CIB copy of Condor Attack, a CIB copy of Flintstones 2 for NES, a CIB copy of Earthbound, etc

[Slate]

At the moment, it's my 1989 Zelda "Wristwatch" Clock (not like my current collection is large.) InsaneDavid on here has one, too.
