My rarest are probably

[Habeeb Hamusta]

Hmm. I guess right now it's Chavez II (CIB) for SNES coming in at R8. Although it isn't worth a whole lot for some reason.

[thegreatescape]

Mega Drive
- Daze before christmas (R7)
- Ecco jr

Master system- Robocop 3 (R9) (but probably more R7/8)

[XxMe2NiKxX]

Beyond Zero Tolerance, by far.

[Massimiliano]

Out run 3d, micromachines on the sms.
Mazoukichin for the SFC
Actually, i realise i haven't got many rare games :D

[Kamino]

most expensive: panzer dragoon saga or texas chainsaw massacre, depending on the ebay weather...
highest rarity: Jack Bros (r7)

[Fuyukaze]

TENSHI NO SHIPPO for the PS1!!

now that that's out of the way....
i only wish I had that....

instead, the most rare I know off the top of my head would be Air for the DC and I'm not so sure how rare it actualy is being a Japanese import.

[J2games]

Would have to be MINT condition:

Atari 7800 TANK (ok semi rare)
Atari 2600 - Beat'em and Eat'em (adult), Jugle Fever and Knight on the Town (adult) and Philly Flasher and Cathouse Blues (adult)
Atari 5200 - Mr. Do!'s Castle
Odyssey2 - Quest for the Rings and Conquest of the World

Thats the private, never to be sold stuff!

Otherwise, if you are looking for some hard to find items, check my site www.J2games.com, I have some that we are selling...all in great condition!

[exomagnus]

Maybe Super Mario World Bootleg cart for the Genesis/mega drive? I have no idea what it's worth but I'm sure it's not around much.

[GrayFox]

I think the rarest for me, would be a Near Mint CIB Zero the Kamikazee Squirrel for SNES. That, or the Robocop 3 for SMS that I am gonna get, but supposedly it's not a R9, but a R6-7. So, I'll go with my Zero then.

My rarest might be Stadium Events...really soon...we'll see ;-)

[DigitalSpace]

EDIT: Nevermind.

[aaron7]

I would guess my Caltron 6in1 for NES, or any of my boot carts... or one of my multicarts... I don't know!

[SegaAges]

i own some games that are a little rare, but not super rare that i guess i spaced off about.

i own complete, mint copies of burning rangers, house of the dead, and steep slope slider for saturn.

at one point, i was trying to collect all the soft manual saturn games. i didn't get very many. i guess the later saturn games had soft manuals with them. i got a sports game and winter heat soft manual games complete, but i think that is about it

[Beefy Hits]

Conversion of Super Dodge Ball for Neo Geo
English Metal Slug X for Neo Geo
Raiden for Lynx
Snatcher for Sega CD
Panzer Dragoon Saga for Saturn
Sealed Ogre Battle 64 for N64

[greedostick]

Probebly one of these.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/greedostick/IM002904.jpg

Gargoyles quest and Pieces are not the rarest games, but those boxes are quite hard to find. As complete games they were very hard to find. I actually dug around my aunts basement with my cousin just to find his old gargoyles quest box. It took forever. I decided to look for it when I got tired of waiting around on ebay for literally years for a complete one to surface.

As for the other games, I think it is a toss up betwwen The Dynastic Hero and the Nito Fire pro adaptor AKA Mega key II. The only key i have ever seen mint with the box and dip sheet. And dynastic hero has to be one of the rarest non proto games ever made. I have seen a total of 3 of these on ebay in the last 5 years. In my personal opinion it is much rarer than magical chase.

[Shawn Carr2o]

Dracula X Rondo of Blood for the PC Engine. 8-)

[xaer0knight]

The rarest game i own is Ogre Battle 64, Dracula X: Rondo of Blood (PCE CD) ,and maybe Ikaruga (GC)

[jetsetradio4ever]

Will it count once I finish the game that I'm making and (attempt to) transfer it into a cart? Then, there'll only be 1! :) But, besides that.......hmmmm........I dunno..........maybe......that stupid game, Corpse Killer isn't rare, is it? I dunno.

[Vroomfunkel]

Greedostick - you call that Nitro 2 "mint" then? :D

It's got a big sticker plastered over the front! Now, the one that I've got, that is mint :P

I bought it new, asked the seller if they had any more .. only to be told that they had had two, and I got the last one. Checked their past auctions and found that they had sold one the week before for half the price I paid! Doh!

Still, it is a damn good converter - I haven't found a single game that it can't deal with yet - Yu Yu Hakushu, Mega Man, Alien Soldier, Bare Knuckle 3, Golden Axe 3 .. all the chip-locked games. If there is a game it doesn't work with, I would be very suprised!

Vroomfunkel

Yep, thats true, there is a sticker on it. it does say mega key II on the sticker though. so i'm not sure if it's from the factory or not. And looks like someone removed a sticker, which i could easily remove the residue.

just wandering what you paid for yours? I am trying to get a idea of what it's worth. I traded a guy from malaysia a mint shining force 3 USA and a lord of the rings extended edition which costed around $30, and i guess shining force 3 was worth about $90 at the time. And i got the fire pro from him and a datel cdx cart. so i guess i paid around $60 each at the time.

Does that sound about right to you? i think i traded a little to much. on another token though, not like you can find a mega key and a datel cdx cart on ebay any day of the week.

I still have dynastic hero though LOL

[8-Bit Master]

I'm not sure which of these is more rare since they are both R8's.

Aero Fighters (SNES)
Chavez II (SNES)

All I know is that I had to pay more money for Aero Fighters ($25) than Chavez II ($5).

[joshnickerson]

This might be rare, since even DP doesn't mention it, but then again, it's not that old...
I've got a Soul Calibur 2 demo disc for the Gamecube. It comes in a cardboard sleeve, the same size as Pac-Man VS came in if you got it with I-Ninja. It has "Not For Resale" on the sleeve and other the disc itself, which is white and says "Soul Calibur Demo" on it. When it boots up, it's the same demo that's featured on Nintendo's Preview Disc that came out Summer 2003.

Other than that, I'd have to say Fun N' Games for the SNES. :)

[mr_nihilism]

Bubble Bobble 2 - It's not highly rare, but not easy to find outside eBay.

Or..

Blackjack (NES) - It's complete, and I don't see many of those even on eBay.

[Melf]

- Dracula X, PCE
- Panorama Cotton, Mega Drive
- Panzer Dragoon Saga, Saturn

I have a few others but that's all I can remember right now.

[Rogmeister]

I've got several R7 games...I think that's as high a rarity as I have. Poy Poy is one of those...I'll have to double check both DP Guides to make sure there isn't an R8 that I have. I doubt I'm that lucky, though....

[SuperShark]

My rarest game is proably Sonic Adventure Limited Edition, the pre-release version sometimes labled as a near-complete proto. It is Sweet, and so is the story of how I got it.

It was my birthday this year (Tuesday, June 22, 2004) and after gathering all my birthday money, my grandma drove me down to a local video-game tradeing store called Game-X-Change. They had a complete Sega Dreamcast, still in its box, pre-played for sale for about $40, about half my birthday money, but I still bought it for it was the only Sega home consel that I did not yet own. Of course I asked if it came with games and controllers so I would have something to do with it when I got home. The man ansered "Two controllers and a copy of... Sonic Adventure 2 - that is unless you want to trade the game for a game on the shelves". I told him I would prefer Sonic Adventure 1, so I could play the games in order. I serched the shelves as he checked behinde the counter. Neither of us found it, but he rembered that there may be on in the System used to try games before you buy them. He started the system but did not let it play to the title screen and thinking that it was Sonic Adventure, he gave it to me FREE, he even let me keep the Sonic Adventure 2. I later found out that this was the Rare Sonic Adventure Limited Edition.

This is the Rarest Sonic game excluding "Sonic Crackers" and the Rarest Sega Dreamcast American Release.

P.S. I also have the original Phantasy Star, complete, like new.

[Nomeaz1]

Take your pick (all games are Japanese versions and complete):

MSX2
Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake

Nintendo 64DD
Randnet Package with 6 games (all factory sealed)

Saturn
The question should be "what game DON'T I have?" (http://www.segafans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=56)

PlayStation
Biohazard 5th Anniversary Special Package Briefcase (new)

Neo Geo AES
Blazing Star

XBOX
Limited Edition White Panzer Dragoon XBOX (new)

[GamerTheGreek]

would either be on atari 2600 Quadrun, or Ateam proto.

or what i think would be my rarest and most unusal Mogul Maniac 8 bit cart thats a one of a kind on this rarity guide so i assume that would be my rarest

[Vroomfunkel]

And i got the fire pro from him and a datel cdx cart. so i guess i paid around $60 each at the time.

Does that sound about right to you? i think i traded a little to much. on another token though, not like you can find a mega key and a datel cdx cart on ebay any day of the week.

Mega Key converters are one of those things that it is incredibly hard to say what is a fair price - I have seen them go for absolutely insane amounts on ebay before, until ebay started closing all the auctions down for converters ..

I got mine for something like $10 though .. which was, to my mind, an absolute steal! I have sold a Datel CDX cart (just the cart, no box) for $80 before .. so I would say you didn't get a steal, but I don't think you got completely ripped off either. I don't doubt that you could easily get $60 for the Nitro converter if you wanted to sell it now ..

Vroomfunkel

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Nothing super rare - It's a toss up between these:

Steel Battalion
Steel Battalion: Line Of Contact
Paper Mario (PAL) (Factory Sealed)
Suikoden (PAL) (Factory Sealed)
Vandal Hearts II (PAL) (Factory Sealed)
Gunstar Heroes (PAL)

[XxMe2NiKxX]

http://www.sonichq.org/images/boxes/dreamcast/saltdedt.jpg
That's one of my rarest non-genesis games.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Enlighten us - What is limited about it? I've not seen this one, just the standard version...

[yok-dfa]

For me it would a PAL black label Pengo for the Atari 2600...

[Xantan the Foul]

Shadowrun - Sega CD

[ghostangelofcky]

One of my copies of Pac-man has a booger on it, sorry, that's all I got :(

[Kroogah]

Haven't posted in this thread in 2 years.

NES: Color a Dinosaur, Wally Bear and the No! Gang
SNES: Fun 'n Games, Bebe's Kids
Genesis: Marko, Gaiares, Syd of Valis, Saint Sword, all complete. Exodus loose.
Dreamcast: Midway Arcade Hits Vol. 2, Tee Off, Resident Evil 2 all complete
PSX: Viewpoint
Atari 2600: Gremlins
Game Gear: Bust-a-Move, Arcade Classics, Berenstain Bears
Saturn: Valora Valley Golf complete

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Enlighten us - What is limited about it? I've not seen this one, just the standard version...

Ah ha! I now know! The wonders of the internet hey!

I don't think Ex-rental games really count as rare though, even if they are few and far between...


I once had a thought - If I was rich, I would buy up every copy of Suikoden and Steel Battalion which ever appeared on eBay - I would then stash every copy I buy at my house / mansion and watch as it's rarity went up!

Anyone else ever had this same idea? Ie, my Red PlayStation is limited to only 666 worldwide, but if I was rich and managed to buy up as many as I could, their rarity would go up... If I managed to buy up 600 of them (Improbable, but not impossible) then the remaining 60 would become uber-rare and be worth a fortune!


Anyone think there are people out there who do this sort of thing?

[dj898]

maybe this one?
from what I heard and found out so far this is one of the rarest title for Saturn...

http://img138.exs.cx/img138/2777/dsc001448rl.jpg

and I forgot about this one all these years...
it was sitting in one of boxes I packed after I finished uni and moved to AU... :D

[Grim_Reaper_Bostock]

Could be anything here:

Big Nose Freaks Out (NES, boxed)
Uncharted Waters (NES, complete)
Aerobiz Supersonic (Gen, boxed w/map)
S.O.S. (Titus version, SNES, factory sealed)
Gyromite (big box, NES, complete)

And possibly a few others that I just can't think of off the top of my head...

[drummy]

I have a Super 5 in 1 multicart for the Super Famicom/SNES console. I say this because althoug hthe shell is for the SFC, it has the notches in the bottom of the cart like it was cut by a machine from a factory or something, it was not hand-cut, since there are no flaws. These notches were made so that it can play on an AMerican SNES console. Very cool. I don't know if it's rare, but you don't see too many of those. I do have a loose Fun N' Games and a loose Chavez II, however, I think the rarest of my collection.

[Charlesaway]

For me, definitely a tossup between the Chuck Norris/Artillery Duel Coleco double ender, and the 1982 Int'l Demo intellivision cart.

[TurboGenesis]

I don't really have any "rare" games, maybe some hard to find stuff though. I guess the games I have that are the most rare would be all of the "final 5" Saturn games-Shining Force III, Burning Rangers, House of the Dead, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Magic Knight Rayearth. I guess some of my Turbo Duo games would also be hard to come by such as Cotton and Terraforming.

I can say that I also do have some sought after games (though not really rare) such as Phantasy Star I-IV all complete and all with original stratagy guides. Well the Stratagy guide for Phantasy Star I is really a printed up walk though directly from Sega which I called the help line back in like 1990 and they sent it to me. I also have stuff like Valkyrie Profile, Radiant Silvergun, All Final Fantasy games (NO greatest hits). Matter of fact I do not own any GH games Except Soukyogerenti. I have alot of games and I play them all. I usually won't seek a game just because its rare, it has to be a pretty decent game too.

[GamblinMonkey]

Hmm, my only rare games I can think of off the top of my head are:
Alien vs. Predator - Lynx
Faselei (UK version, complete) - Neo Geo Pocket
and maybe Final Fight Guy (not too rare, unless it's in the box, like mine) - SNES

[GLASSJOE]

Atari 2600 Swrdquest waterworld.
Intellivision Turbo

[Socheata]

Animal Crossing Pre-Release version

Only 250 copies were distributed throughout the US to the winners of Nintendo's Animal Crossing Pioneer contest. Each winning team (you must sign up with a friend) received a copy of the game (it has a Not For Resale lable on the disc), two 59-block memory cards, and an Animal Crossing calendar.

[mr_nihilism]

I don't really have anything that's truly rare, but the only games that would be even remotely hard to find are Rhapsody and Castlevania Chronicles

[dj898]

I saw someone was selling JPN Shenmue 2 with all four disc signed by the development team at its launch day...

for me it would be saturn Dragon's Dream - never officially released online multi-user RPG...

cheers

[lurpak]

Well since 85% of you seem to have panzer Dragoon for the Saturn you have to question its rarity LOL

as for me..

Videopac/Odyssey 2

http://66.148.84.13/~lurpak/rares/P1010002.JPG 48 Backgammon (my most prized and not rated high enough in the DP rarity guide IMO)

Videopacs 56,57,59,60

Barao Vermelho Prototype
Commando Nocturno Prototype

and serpent du poder "powerlords brazilian" however these seem to be apearing at the rate of 1 per week for some reason lately.

commando nocturno normal


SATURN

Shining the holy ark

[captain nintendo]

In rarity order it goes :

R9 Starfox Superweekend cart (loose)

R9 Cheetahmen 2 (factory sealed)

R8 Caltron 6 in 1 (complete)

The Caltron 6 in 1 cost me a pretty penny and I actually consider it harder to find then the other 2 games.

I did find the Starfox at a local EB Games for 12.99 a while back now.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Intellivision Congo Bongo 8-)

[Ed Oscuro]

maybe this one?
from what I heard and found out so far this is one of the rarest title for Saturn...

[Dragon's Dream pic]

and I forgot about this one all these years...
it was sitting in one of boxes I packed after I finished uni and moved to AU... :D
Hmm, this game any good?

[anagrama]

Probably 'Les Schroumpfs Autout du Monde' (Master System).
