View Full Version : Rarest Game for Each System

Now, I know that there are posts for the rarest titles for each system, and there are posts for hard to find modern games, etc. However, (MODS - I'VE CHECKED ALREADY!!), there is no post that mentions the hardest to find game for each system.
It would be a cool resource to have one list of the rarest game for each system. This shouldn't be that difficult until you get to the modern system, so to avoid repetative posts that are mostly opinion anyway, let's leave out the PS2, XBOX and GameCube. No real numbers are in on those consoles anyway, so leave them out.
Also - this is ONLY for US released titles - NO homebrews, NO games that weren't made available for the public (like the Gold NWC for NES.)!!
For the most part, this should be matters of fact, and not opinion, where ever possible.
I'll start the list, and adjustments/fill in the blanks can happen by anyone who would like to add on. If I'm missing a system, feel free to mention it.
Vectrex - ???
Odyssey - ???
Odyssey 2 - ???
VIC-20 - ???
Atari 2600 - Video Life
Atari 5200 - Bounty Bob Strikes Back
Atari 7800 - Tank Command
ColecoVision - Porky's (Xante)
Intellivision - Tutankam/Super Cobra/Conversational French (???)
NES - Myriad 6-in-1
SMS - ???
TG-16 - ???
Genesis - Miracle Piano Teaching System (complete) (???)
SNES - Exertainment Mountainbike Rally/Stunt Racer or Chavez II (???)
Sega CD - Keio Flying Squardun (???)
Sega 32X - Spiderman: Web of Fire
NEO-GEO AES - Ninja Masters (???) - Kizuna Encounter is EURO, otherwise
3DO - Woody Woodpecker & Friends (any of the 3 volumes)
Saturn - Street Fighter Collection (???) - Panzer Drag. Saga is $$, not as rare
Jaguar - Battlesphere Gold (???)
N64 - ClayFighter 63 1/3: Sculptor's Cut (???)
PSX - Dragonball Z Final Bout (???)
Dreamcast - Sonic Adventure LE (???)
CD-I - ???
LaserActive - ???
Virtual Boy - Jack Bros. (???)
Again, help is appreciated - besides, I think that it will be fun!
Thanks,
Steve

Do you know the production numbers for Saturn Street Fighter Collection? Shining Force 3, House of the Dead, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Burning Rangers are generally pegged at 5000 copies each (Panzer Saga had a second production run). Winning Post had real low numbers, too.

I'm going to say that just the title "Zelda" for CDI might be the rarest (no, not Wand of Gamelon--the other one with the purple? cover)

personally, i would say for the vectrex it would be minestorm2, even though a lot of people consider it a proto or whatever, practically anyone that had a vectrex could have had one... it was a real release (if you only bitched)...and may be the rarest production vec game. i guess you could also make a case for mr. boston. and of course i am going to argue the colecovision one- the games that were produced by xante could have been had by anyone that went to a xante kiosk in the early 80's, so they were available to the general public.,
which reminds me... there arnt any xante entries in the DP guide under atari 2600 are there? there are several of those out there.

Thanks for the post Joe, but I have to question a couple of the entries that you listed.
Atari 2600 - Air Raid
Is that truly rarer than the Video Life (I thought there were only 20 or so copies for VL). Are there less for Air Raid?
Colecovision - Tomarc/Motocross
I have to agree with Willie on this one - that is, unless you aren't including the Xante released games.
NEO-GEO - Kizuna Encounter
I know that this is the rarest non-japanese release, followed by Ultimate 11. However, I did mention up above that those were only released in Europe, not in the US. That automatically excludes it from the list.
NES - Stadium Events
??? What? While there were a limited number of Stadium Events produced, there were far fewer Myriad 6-in-1 games. They're even numbered! However, if you are counting those as Caltron games with a new sticker and packaging, then you might be right. I don't think they should be counted that way though (if that's the case.)
Love to hear more on these.
wberdan
03-16-2003, 07:54 PM
there may have been only 20 video lifes ever made, but almost all of those are accounted for i believe....?
as far as i know, there are under 5 air raids accounted for
willie
portnoyd
03-16-2003, 08:50 PM
As far as the Myriad 6 in 1 and Stadium Events, between the two, that's debatable. The Myriad at the most, right now, could have 900 max made. SE could have 2000. But how many of each still exist or accounted for? Who knows. I say Myriad 6 in 1, others say SE.
And how many Air Raids could possibly exist? Air Raid and Gauntlet could have less than 20 existing, but they may have more. We know Video Life's run. Tough call.

Fox Hunt, on the other hand... ;)

There are were less than 20 Video Lifes made, but I know four people who own one. I don't know anyone who owns Air Raid.
Colecovision - Tomarc/Motocross
I have to agree with Willie on this one - that is, unless you aren't including the Xante released games.
Willie wrote the rarities in the DP Guide and this is the highest listed - so I'll defer this to him.
NEO-GEO - Kizuna Encounter
I know that this is the rarest non-japanese release, followed by Ultimate 11. However, I did mention up above that those were only released in Europe, not in the US. That automatically excludes it from the list.
OK. It's compatible on a US system though.

How do you know there were far fewer Myriad 6-in-1's? I've been trying to dig up production numbers on that - could you kindly pass them along? Our staff would really appreciate that.

The highest found number for Myriad is 888. That's under a thousand, versus the 2,000 that Jason Wilson confirmed were made of SE. Granted, how many of those SEs still exist is anyone's guess, which is why you can't say one is rarer than the other, just yet.

I'm no expert, but I thought Portnoyd made a good point. SE production run may have been higher --but Who's to say more of them haven't been destroyed? I think just "rarest" is a tough question when it comes to these older games/systems: Least number produced and Least number still in existance can be two separate things.
orrimarrko
03-16-2003, 11:07 PM
How exciting! I love constructive debate.
Kristine - excellent point about Final Bout. I wasn't sure about that one, which is why I put the (???) next to it. I think PSX is very hard to call at this point, although Fox Hunt is most certainly in the top ten.
Joe - my info regarding the Myriad 6-in-1 came from Dave (using the #888 copy as my basis for the statement.) I knew about the 2000 copies of Stadium Events, and had compared the two. I guess that logic is somewhat faulty, but regardless of how many copies "still exist", I don't believe that there were 2000 Myriad 6-in-1 games produced - thus the game is more rare.
On that note, I don't believe that how many copies are "accounted for" should be the sole factor in determining how rare a game is. Not everyone who collects, or owns games frequents this board. :P It would be cool if they did, but oh well...
My point is this - if you KNOW that there were under 20 copies of Video Life produced, that's a fact. Even if only 5 were accounted for, it doesn't change the fact that there were still under 20 made. In the case of Air Raid, we obviously know that it exists - there's a picture of one on www.atariage.com. What we don't know is how many were made. If the answer to that question is 30 (for example), then that means there could still be 30 out there somewhere. Just becuase we don't know of anyone who has one, doesn't mean they're completely unattainable (although unlikely.) I'm not trying to get semantical here, but I always felt that rarity was not only a measure of how many were produced, but ALSO how many were known in existance (not just one or the other.) This only makes sense to me because of Willie's statement about all 20 (or so) copies of Video Life having been accounted for. To me that makes it even rarer if those 20 or so owners will NEVER sell the game.
If every copy of a game is accounted for, and no one will part with their copy (ever), then that would make it the rarest game - wouldn't you say?
For now, there's at least a slight hope that I could find an Air Raid somewhere, someday - but not Video Life (as an example.)
Anyway, enough babble, I just wanted to try and explain myself on that one.

I was at Working Designs when Rayearth was manufactured, and the production run was 15,000 copies, with 5,000 each of three label variants (the three chickie-girl protagonists). WD still has plenty of copies available, and sells them directly through their website; when I left in March '01, thousands of copies of Rayearth were sitting in a Redding warehouse, next to thousands of copies of Gungriffon Blaze and RayCrisis.

About the Myriad carts...the only differnce between them and the Caltron versions is that the Myriads just had new labels slapped over them when they bought out Caltrons stock or carts, right? Any game or title screen variations between the two? If not, why are they considered seperate from the Caltrons which are more common? Hell, you can even see the Caltron label underneath Myriads.

It is truly sad that the rarest Vic-20 game is listed at a max price value of $40. Damn you price guides! :) Seriously, I never really follow the pricing listed in any guide. It is all a matter of what the collector collects, wants/needs, and is willing to pay. Me personally, well., I would may more than $40 for one of the Vic Boone games...that is if I can ever find one.
zektor
03-17-2003, 02:12 AM
And since I don't have the guide (yet) I would like to add that the rarest title IMHO for the SMS was Outrun 3-D. That is if the guide counts titles made outside of the USA. If not, then Alex Kidd Shinobi is right.

For what it's worth, the rarist Nintendo 64 game seems to be Clay Fighter 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut, with most Blockbusters getting one or no copies of it.

Um, when did I ever say that this was based on who comes to this forum? My research spans worldwide - this forum is one tiny sliver of the game collecting community. Sorry I wasn't more specific up front.
And my opinion stands on Video Life vs. Air Raid, but that is merely my opinion.

There's no personal attack here Joe, geesh! Perhaps I wasn't making my point clear enough. All I meant by that statement was that there are tons of people who have games in their basement, or whatever, or even those who don't publicize what they have in their possession. So, what I was saying is that there is potentially many things out there that we have no idea about, because not everyone is part of the "collecting community" regardless of the forum they choose to use.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be hearing about people finding Gold NWC cart for $5 (or whatever).
As far as the whole Air Raid/Video Life thing goes - I guess it doesn't really matter. The great majority of us will NEVER obtain either.

That they are. They however quanitfy as different because of the *techincally* new label, a new box, and new manual. They're also numbered, which is more of a curiousity than a stark difference. It's the same condition with unlicensed and licensed Tengen games like Gauntlet and RBI Baseball. Same game, different shell, different box, different manual. But they count towards the final number.
Hell, I'll definitively say SE is rarer than the Myriad *if* you can find me a Myriad marked higher than 2000.
@Tempest: Price doesn't always equal rarity.

I know people like to use eBay as an indicator but I'm not one of them. It's a factor but not the overall determining factor. I've seen more Buster Douglas' over the years than AK:SW. They're both very very close but he only wanted one so I chose AK:SW. There were lots of ties in the Atari 2600 section too. Looks like whatever I choose is going to get disputed so I'll just withhold my opinion in future. Just trying to help.

Dragonball is not the rarest PSX title.
However, with so many titles and the games still being produced its really gunna take a few years for the dust to settle before we know for sure.
The Lightspan titles will most likely end up the rarest. But as for the rarest non-Lightspan game its gunna take some time. As long as they keep making them,the rarest PSX game may not even be made yet.

I also have to agree with Air Raid (sort of)
Its really tight at the top. The rarest 5 Atari 2600 games are just impossible to find. I do feel that Air Raid will be rarer than Video Life. But if anyone ever tracks down the guy who made AIR RAID we could have another Bernstein Bears (Which was considered the rarest Atari 2600 game by many when I started collecting)
Since the numbers are so small 3 here 4 there one or two discoveries could change everything. Air Raid so far is the rarest but others are VERY close.
Karate by Ultravision ,Eli's Ladder and Gauntlet. Atlantis 2 is also very rare but 100 were sent out so chances are many other WILL be found once people start checking their Atlantis carts. I don't think anyone has ever turned up a monogramed Space Chase cart.

You guys are forgetting something very important about Stadium Events. Yes, 2,000 carts were manufactured. However, there's a second half to that story! The 2,000 carts were on the market for a three-month span. Any remaining Stadium Events games were recalled and (theoretically) destroyed. Therefore, for all we know, only a couple hundred could have been SOLD, let alone survived.

If we're including European NES games into the mix, though, there are a couple rarities that come close to being on par with SE and the rest. I've only ever seen one copy of "Rodland" come up for sale, and never come across a "Devil World". Not quite the same calibre, I'll admit, but still rare.

Well, yes, but how many are left out there? I don't know if we'll ever know. Distribution methods can be the deciding factor. Licensed for 3 months through Woolworths vs. Unlicensed for ? months through Mail Order? Is Chris LaMere out there? He found a case of Myriads a while back that may shed some light on that.

Yeah, if you want to get into the realm of PAL NES, Rodland and Mr Gimmick are on SE's par, if not surpass it. Devil World is up there, as is Trolls in Crazyland.

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but someone in here mentioned something about colecovision games made by Xante! Is this true and does someone have a list? Also is there anything else known about the company and 2600 release numbers. Atariage had info a few months ago about the company. Also no one ever stated why Xante is not in the Digital Press Guide. I think they should be, they are after all US game releases. Does anyone on the boards have any or their games or have any experience with them? I would love to here hear from you.
Is there anything else known about Men A Vision and Air Raid yet, release no's, info about the company, any more games rumored to be worked on, anything? I'd definately say Air Raid is the rarest 2600 game. I myself would love to get my hands on one just for the cart style.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Would Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, Razor Scooter, and PowerPuff Girls be considered in the top five most rarest? Because weren't they only released for rent in Blockbusters? They they would have definately been produced in limited numbers.
kevincure
06-20-2004, 03:31 AM
Since this good thread is back from the dead:
Stunt Racer, Razor and Clayfighter are surely top 5 rare 64 games, but I've come across Indiana Jones and Powerpuff quite a bit.
As for Playstation: I've seen both Fox Hunt and DBG:FB twice. Admittedly, my sampling is small, but I am hunting for PS games quite often. With the caveat that some of the later Mud Duck and NewKidCo releases will be quite rare in the future, I'd say the 5 rarest non-lightspan PS games are Fox Hunt, Braindead 13, True Pinball, Roadsters and Viva Soccer.

If I'm just going to make a call from personal experience Rodland would not be the rarest game to me. I've seen 4 or 5 and have or do own them, but I haven't seen one Mr. Gimmick, and only discovered a few months ago that Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt was released in PAL-format.

For US Dreamcast, if you're talking about standard version of a game, I'd say it's one of those, as time goes by, some games really started to show their levels of rarities.
Sno-Cross Championship
4X4 Evo
Worms World Party
Note that some of Capcom's much sought after fighters and shooters aren't here since they are valued more due to their desirabilities, rather than rarities.

Dynastic Hero seems to be FAR rarer than the super rare Magical Chase for Turbo. That is if you are including the Turbo Duo releases along with the TG16 HuCards. I see about 3-4 Magical Chase US a year and have owned 4 of them. But Dynastic Hero, maybe 4 in the past 3 years, tops.

I'd order Raycrisis and Rayearth from Working Designs if they'd friggin lower the prices on them.

Here are a few more opinions/speculations to throw into the ring.
Myriad 6-1- If we want to say that this isn't grouped with the caltron, then I think that this is "rarer" than SE. I usually see 1 SE every month or so on some auction site, but I haven't seen a myriad in a LONG time.
Air Raid- Personally I think that this is the rarest 2600 cart, but not by much. Gauntlet and Video Life are pretty damn close in "rareness" (<-- even a word?)
Razor (N64)- Kevin mentioned this game, but does this really count? This is basically a rental exclusive only, but some of these were sold out. I happen to own a sealed one, the only one I've ever seen.
Sd Gundam for virtual boy is the rarest game for vb (japan at least) otherwise jack bros. is :hmm:

I dont remember if i read it here or not but GT final bout was rereleased by Atari at 15 bucks a pop. It does have a different cover too. You can tell the difference between the new and original but it destroyed the rarity of the first one.

For the Atari 7800, isn't the "original" Harry Dodgson monitor cartridge more rare than Tank Command? It was a sanctioned release by Atari and available to anyone via mail order. The guide says only 100 of those were made.
The ones that are being made by Video 61 today have a rarity of 1 (anyone with $99.95 can go buy one).

Top 5 rarest N64 games:
1. International Superstar Soccer 2000
2. ClayFighter Sculptor's Cut
3. Stunt Racer 64
4. NFL Blitz Special Edition
5. Razor Freestyle Scooter
Polaris Snocross and Worms Armageddon seem to be pretty damn hard to find too.

Right now there's no N64 title with a rarity bigger than R5, so nothing's too hard to find.

Upon further inspection you are right... but i still might as well pick them up next time i am there seeing as i am looking for very few other things at the moment.
I have seen the Myrad 6 in 1 on here but for some reason not the Carlton 6 in 1. These are the exact same game, in fact one of them(I believe Carlton) bought all the left overs from the other company and just stuck new labels over the original companies labels.
