What is the Rarest System You Own ?

[slapdash]

Groovy...

[Icarus Moonsight]

Uncommoners:

PC-E Duo
NeoGeo AES

Rarzest-of-rarez:

DSlite
PS2

[M15fit]

Not too many rares anymore,

The rarest pal console would be the 3D0 FZ10.

Others:
NTSC-J DC Seaman edition

I have a Japanese sports edition DC. Sounds fishy? To me it does. I've taken it apart and it's a Jap Mobo, older model with the metal pipes. Stickers on the case are NTSC-J. I'm not sure about this, It might be rare if it's real. Looks like the regulation 7 with a sports lid. I have a regulation 7 as well.

Skeleton edition Sega Saturn
Horse racing? Edition Saturn

Sega Saturn boxed Japanese cordless controllers

[spongerob]

Panasonic Q Gamecube.

I knew they'd be in limited supply and I really liked the way they looked so I grabbed one off of eBay before the price jumped. I'll never sell it, it's awesome. It looks like it's been beamed to me from the future.

I also have a 3DO and a Saturn but those aren't up there with the Q to me.

[Double Ugly]

Maybe Panzer Dragoon Saga, but it doesn't seem that rare to me because its so readily available on eBay. Wild Guns would be my next choice. It only has a rarity of 4 (or is it 5?) but It shows up on eBay far less and took me awhile to get my hands on it.

[Fatalstar64]

My working Xbox 360.


Nah jk probably my Jungle Green N64 but I only collect Nintendo pre Gamecube so I'm not really after rare consoles per say.

[hellfire]

whatever is rarer. Jaguar, 3do, virtual boy

[SuperGamecube64]

uhh....are GBA e-readers considered rare? I also have a jungle green Nintendo 64, but the original controller has been all but destroyed >.> i should get a replacement.

[LimeiBook86]

I have a Sega CDX but too bad it's engraved by whoever sold it and it doesn't work.

However I have a complete SEGA DS-16 demo arcade unit. Pretty good condition considering. Didn't have the monitor so we have a 13" TV in there. Still works great. It's beautiful when it lights up. :) I'll post pics if interested, not sure how common the whole wooden arcade unit is. Got it years ago for $199 at a flea market with my Dad before a video game store closed.

Easily my rarest.

[ncman071]

well i dont know if any of these are "'rare", but i own a 3do, jaguar, jaguar cd, sega cdx, an atari lynx, and a virtual boy....

[theclaw]

Uh, I've got a PC-FX. Whatever use that is.

[Red Robin Yum]

My import consoles easily. Probably not rare in Japan.

Twin Famicom (AN-500B)
PC Engine (Core Grafx II)
Sega Saturn (Japan grey)

[Baloo]

CDX, Nomad, and Turbografx-16.

[SpaceHarrier]

32x I suppose, is the rarest I've got.. unless the Lynx somehow sold less.

[Sonicwolf]

My rarest console would have to be my JVC X'Eye. Not much else of any obscurity.

Wait, I do have a Victor V-Saturn. Is that considered rare?

[Cobra Commander]

I'm not sure if I posted in this thread before, but the rarest I think I own is a Famicom Twin. I do have the various Famicom GBA's but I don't really believe they're what you'd call rare.

[jrokshady]

Amiga CD32 NTSC Version

[Auto-Fox]

My two rarest consoles would have to be a GoldStar 3DO and an NEC TurboGrafx-16. I got the 3DO for $15 at a yard-sale with a bunch of games.

[Polygon]

My Jaguar, though I wouldn't call it very rare.

[Parodius Duh!]

Maybe Panzer Dragoon Saga, but it doesn't seem that rare to me because its so readily available on eBay. Wild Guns would be my next choice. It only has a rarity of 4 (or is it 5?) but It shows up on eBay far less and took me awhile to get my hands on it.

topic is about systems. I wouldnt call Wild Arms rare neither, Ive got 3 copies I think...


Just picked up a playdia, so yeah, my Playdia is rarest. Maybe the Hitachi HI-Saturn is rarer? I dunno, have one of those as well.

[buzz_n64]

Playstation (Blue debug station)
Playstation (Japanese model)
JVC X^eye
Wii (Red Limited Edition)
Gameboy (CIB)
Microvision (CIB)
Nuon (Toshiba SD-2300)
Gamecube store kiosk display

I actually have a lot of CIB systems, don't know if I should list them all

[Hawanja]

Megaduck
Cougarboy
Gamate
Game Master
Atari XE
Epoch Cassettevision
Game King
Game Axe color - oldschool handheld famiclone
Various other familcones/pirate junk most people would consider worthless

[MattK]

A PAL toploading NES. One of the rare times where living in Australia has actually helped with getting something related to retro gaming. They're not really rare though, more just in heavy demand.

My wife-to-be has a special edition Pokemon GBC and an Australian 25th Anniversary Edition Red Wii with the pre-installed 25th Anniversary Super Mario Bros. Again, not that rare but in demand.

[SEGA_Queen]

None of my systems are rare. All of them can be replaced with little difficulty.

However, I do have one special edition system in my collection. It's the Pokemon Gameboy that was released when Pokemon Yellow came out. I was on vacation in Florida at the time. Instead of buying souvenirs, I bought this Gameboy instead.

Later, my Dad told me that it was a good thing that I had bought the system in the States, because one of his co-workers was looking for one and couldn't find it anywhere in our city.

[The 1 2 P]

My JVC X-Eye is atleast uncommon but not super rare. I also have a Sega Nomad. As for import systems, I have a Wonder Swan and Wonder Swan Color.

[scarmullet]

I'd say my Sega CD model 1 or my Nomad.

[mattmayatt]

My rarest systems are Panasonic Q , Bandai Pipppin (usa black) , Vectrex, PC Engine Turbo Express, Virtual Boy (with Flash Cart), Nuon, Neo Geo CD (original front loader) and Atari Jaguar with Jag CD.

[M.Buster2184]

A lot of people have some really cool systems. My rarest? Lets see, I have a Turbo-Grafx 16, Virtual Boy and Neo-Geo AES all in good shape in their original packaging.

[theredlineboss]

Nothing in my collection is particularly rare; just some relatively uncommon stuff. Rarest would be the JVC X'eye, and perhaps the NES top loader. Like I said, not particularly rare.

-Rob

[dj898]

I'd say Sega Wondermega, not more common JVC but the SEGA brand, still MIB ?

[Cornholio857]

Rarest for me would be my Model 1 Sega CD. Also, would a CIB with all paperwork Game.Com (First Model) be considered somewhat rare?

[Iron Lizard]

My Korean Megadrive.

[Phantar]

Barcode Battler, CIB, in noticably used condition though

In second place: Sega Nomad

Newest acquisition in that regard: 32X (got mine last week)

[synbiosfan]

I own #366/1800 Dreamcast Code: Veronica Limited Box that is like new. I've tested the system once to make sure it wasn't DOA but other than that it's new.

[QuickSciFi]

I've never been much of a hardware collector myself. Loose ones have always managed to do it for me. I guess my most valuable one would have to be a sealed model 2 Genesis - Lion King Ed.

[Black_Tiger]

Complete Japanese Multi Mega?

[Gamevet]

Finally finished writing up the Unisonic Champion 2711 F.A.Q.! As you will read,
this is the strangest and obscure game system released in the U.S.

Here's the F.A.Q: http://www.ccjvq.com/slydc/faq/Champion2711.pdf

If some of you can't read or download the FAQ, it will be available soon
in the FAQ section of the Digital Press web site. BTW, it's a 8.20 Megs
PDF file (12 pages).

So good reading! =)

--- Sly DC ---

It's no surprise that system is rare. Those games look worse than your average VCS title.

[Damaramu]

I don't really own anything that I'd consider rare, but definitely "uncommon":

DUO RX (w/ original 6 button controller)
Turbo Express
JVC X'EYE
Pioneer Laseractive (w/ Genesis pac)
Sega Nomad
Virtual Boy
NES Top Loader

[rukawaka]

What are the U.S., maybe my Super Micro (Palmtex PVS) in hand, even if it is not video. I do not have anything too rare in the far ... Perhaps the Vectrex, or AFP, or the arcade Coleco Telstar. :roll:

[LastDCMade]

This guy. Won it in the Gamepro contest. Gonna be sellin it soon on ebay I think.
http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv243/wohlf16/CIMG1578.jpg

[slapdash]

Oo, neat! Be sure to post the eBay URL when you post it.

[fluid_matrix]

Mine would be either a NIB TG-16 or an NES Deluxe set that's complete except for the pieces of paper that covered the gyros.

I know, not that impressive.

[NavesRegge]

This little beauty probably isn't very common (except it probably is):

http://cdn1.iofferphoto.com/img/1113807600/_i/6481385/1.jpg

Besides that, my CIB 32x is probably my rarest or my CIB Atari Flashback 2+. I mostly just have common stuff as is to be expected.

[The-Wizard89]

id have to say these and my sealed test market r.o.b. the robot set.

http://i52.tinypic.com/14lsyex.jpg

[BetaWolf47]

Blast, I've got no rare systems. I think Game Boy micro, Sega CD, and Neo Geo Pocket Color is it, and that stuff is just "uncommon".

[SparTonberry]

No rare systems, just a few uncommon: top loader NES, Famicom Disk System, WonderSwan Color, had a jungle N64 (I didn't think the colored N64s were uncommon, but I only see black consoles in the wild)

[Baloo]

Rarest is probably my Vectrex or TG-16, nothing overly uncommon really.

[superfamicast64]

I don't know what you would count as "rare", but the "rarest" console i own at the moment is an original Bandai WonderSwan in box. I also put in my order for a complete boxed SwanCrystal earlier today, but that won't be here for a few weeks.

[MetalMilitia]

Mine would probably be my Atari Jaguar CD, FM Towns Marty, or N64DD.

[Niku-Sama]

i'm not sure whats rarer
my black/red twin famicom, my virtual boys, or my vectrix

my guess is the vectrix, i hope it is atleast i got it and 2 games for $5 at the good will as-is store...almost passed it up in a pile, thought it was just a little tv

[VertigoProcess]

That's a good find dude... does it work?

[Tokimemofan]

Sega 32x if you don't count variants, otherwise probably my Star Ocean PSP

[treismac]

Mmmm... my Virtual Boy or my Top Loader, I suppose. I also have an Atari Pong system that I don't think is too easy to come by, but I haven't a clue.

[jb143]

Nothing too rare here but my uncommons would be Turbo Grafx 16, Nomad, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and a few Lynx's.

[SpaceFlea]

Probably my CIB Coca-Cola Game Gear.

[Steve W]

At the Oklahoma Video Game Expo, I got myself a boxed Emerson Arcadia 2001. It's not too crazy rare or even really wanted by many people, but I had three or four people who stopped me on the way out of the convention to look at it and tell me they wished they could have gotten it. It's one of those machines that you don't really think about collecting until you see one in person, I guess.

[Sunnyvale]

I dunno exact rarities on all of these, but it's probably between my heavy sixer, Arcadia, CDX, or my TMSS-less Genesis.

[synbiosfan]

Probably this

http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/retrogamecollectorjim/NG%20Stuff/Stuff024.jpg

Only tested once (booted up a game then shut off) so it's pretty much new.

[Parodius Duh!]

cool! I have the STARS version and HAD the red Seaman console, which I highly regret selling 5 years ago....

[grandpappyplok]

Mine would have to be the Sega Master System Proto

[Niku-Sama]

That's a good find dude... does it work?

yea sorry i lost track of this thread.

the vectrix works like a dream, its missing its little screw on black knobby thingy for the controller (that little joystick thingy) but other than that its just got the usual bumps and such any used system has and it all works

[BeaglePuss]

Mine would have to be the Sega Master System Proto

Very cool.

How does it differ from a retail unit? Does it look any different? Region free?

[Videogamerdaryll]

I no longer have the systems of my collection that I felt were rare..

I still have off the top of my head.
Vectrex,with box.Wonder wizard.Nomad,Sega Sports Dreamcast,DC,Misc Pongs ,Turbo Express.Lynx,Microvisions,Atari’s,Sears Tele-Games 2600,Coleco,Intellevision, TI99 Texas Instruments.Gamegears,Gameboys,Rare Handhelds..Misc clones
......Gen,Sat,Sega CD,Three Halo Xbox’s one in box..N64 Block Buster Rental System in Cas............e NES and SNES box sets..


All kinds of systems in the boxes or boxes empty to fill..



he only thing I actually truly care about is the Vectrex the other stuff I just haven’t had the time to sell..


I’m sitting on 7 or so broken 360s ..Just no time to try and get rid of them..




I’d say my rarest system today is this,

[n20vette]

mine is sega cdx and my panasonic 3do fully working paid 20.00 for on craigslist.

[VertigoProcess]

mine is sega cdx and my panasonic 3do fully working paid 20.00 for on craigslist.

which pan 3DO?

[saferkefka]

Right now at my flea market stall, I have a LaserActive with the Sega pac. I just recently sold a Sega SG-1000.

[n20vette]

which pan 3DO?
its the fz-1

[Steve W]

Right now at my flea market stall, I have a LaserActive with the Sega pac. I just recently sold a Sega SG-1000.

Where's your flea market at? I don't know why I'm asking, since there's not much chance of it being near me. But you never know.

[Genesaturn]

I'm pretty jealous of everyone. My rarest system is a Neo Geo Pocket Color. It would of been a 3DO before it was stolen from me.

[Fuseki]

Not exactly rare, but I have an Atari Video Pinball console from '77 (I think). I know it works, but I've never actually hooked it up to test it. I may just do that tonight...

EDIT: Hooked it up. It works fine, but I have a resistor to replace in the left flipper circuit and a new speaker to pick up...


Rarest for me would be my Model 1 Sega CD. <snip>

I had one as well. I wish I'd have kept it...

[Genjackson]

1st place goes to the Sharpe NES TV. Close second, the Vectrex.

[Genjackson]

Probably this

http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/retrogamecollectorjim/NG%20Stuff/Stuff024.jpg

Only tested once (booted up a game then shut off) so it's pretty much new.

Jealous

[brandonsh]

For me it'd have to be a complete, boxed ZX Spectrum +2 James Bond Special Edition, which had a light gun and two games, along with various other goodies.

[sloan]

Microvision
Worlds of Wonder Action Max
Gamewave
