The Rarest Games on Earth?

[leeram]

There are plenty of games out there that are supposed to be rare, yet in reality they aren't, they are just sought after. Radiant Silvergun, Castlevania X, dare I even say Darius Alpha and tons of other can be bought without too much difficulty these days, but they cost a fair amount of dosh.

But I've found two games I have been looking for for over 15 years. I look every week on eBay and nothing. Does anyone remember Leggit for the Atari 800XL? and Rainbow Walker for the Atari 800XL?

Fantastic games that I just can't find, not even on emulator (hopefully someone out there can set me straight on that!). The rarest games on earth? Maybe, just maybe. Damned elusive at any rate!!

Cheers

I can think of two I've never seen for sale (maybe someone who is more observant has seen these.) Air Raid for the 2600, which is a pretty famous one. The second is a Promo version of Gradius for the Famicom. It was sponsored by a raumen manufacturer and the power ups are replaced with packages of raumen! Pretty cool and I've never seen one.

Since I don't have the cash aquiring one of these would require, I haven't looked too hard, but I think these would truly be rare.

They had a thing like this in an older issue of Tips & Tricks. :D :P :wink:

I've been looking for a game for the Apple II called Alter Ego for ages. I've seen one copy in the last year or so and was sniped on it. :mad:

What about the super rare american version of Super Mario Brothers / Duck Hunt? :lol:

The rarest game I know of is the huCard version of Dracula X: Rondo of the Blood for the PC Engine. Yes, there is one, and yes, I've seen it and it's for real. There were only 6 made, and I know a guy that owns one of those 6. It came huCard only, and has different music (and no spoken dialogue or cinemas), but the same graphics. I'm not sure how long it is, but I know it's not just a time attack version. I think the guy that owns the one I've seen is looking to get about $4000 US for it...if anyone was interested.

[Six Switch]

Wow that'sa whole lotta chash money.That game is worth more than my life! :shock: :P :shock:

[Tempest]

Why would there only be 6 made?

I have some of the Sega CD games you mentioned. Some of them moght even be sealed.

[tom]

Interplanetary Voyage on Magnavox Odyssey. The game card # 12 only exists 3 times in the world, and they are owned by:

David Winter (France)
Ulf Svensson (Sweden)
Thomas Holzer (that's me, UK)

Actually, the 4-game set from 1973 for the Odyssey exists only 4 times in the world (Basketball, Brain Games, W.I.N., Interplanetary Voyage), owned by the 3 mentioned above and 1 unknown owner, who doesn't have the game card #12, but all the rest of the set.

Look here:

[IGotTheDot]

[mattpfeil]

i dont really think that you can say that these like 6 and 4 print run are the rarest games, cause i have this copy of Barbie that i signed, and its the only one like it...so yea...lets keep it to like regular print run, yet rare games..or not i dont really care either way:P

[Sothy]

lionforce, yer probably having trouble finding smoke and mirrors cuz it was never released.

[lionforce]

Ah ha thanks for the info Sothy (scratches it off list), I always wondered about that title, its funny because I remember reading a review of that game in Game Informer way back when and they gave it high scores (shakey b*st*rds, those GI people) :D

[Andy Rampage]

[ubersaurus]

I've heard Virtua Fighter Animation (SMS) is rare, but I think it's safe to say it isn't on par with some of them out there.

[batmanlivesatmyhouse]

World War III for Sega CD and Yu Yu Hakusho for 3do. Played WWIII at my friend's house when he rented it once. Never found it again. Ever. Except on ebay, for an insane amount of money. Yu Yu, my sad story again, I traded for Soul Calibur when it first came out. I never found Yu Yu ever again.

Sensible Soccer International Editon for the Megadrive is fairly rare(NOT The Sensible Soccer European Champions, which is very common)...not sure how many were made, but I've only seen two on eBay...and you can see one here:
