What is the Single RAREST Item In Your Collection?

[Dr. N. Gin]

Most of my games are common...
lets see...
Flinstones Surprise at Dinosaur Peak for the NES would be my rarest. It was never sold in stores. It was a rental-only NES Title. I picked it up on eBay mixed in a lot of cheap games.

That's one hell of a rare game to be had in a lot of cheap titles.

My rarest game is probably a complete boxed Rendering Ranger R2 for the Super Famicom. >__>; I still can't believe how much money I spent on that ....

[Damaniel]

I have a bunch of stuff that I'd consider to be uncommon, but not really anything 'rare'. The rarest things would have to be my mint copies of Rondo of Blood and Bust-a-Groove 2, and my not-so-mint Caltron 6-in-1. I have black label versions of pretty much every Squaresoft PSX game, but most of those were huge sellers so I wouldn't consider them rare, just really expensive.

I also own an unopened US copy of Limbo of the Lost (PC) -- I don't actually know how rare it is, but all of the copies sold were from one online store, and were sold only a day or two before the plagiarism controversy took the rest of the copies off the shelves. Because it was a low-budget adventure game, the print run couldn't have been that large anyway.

I haven't seen anyone else mention this one.

I've got a Game Action Replay for NES. It goes for about $100 on ebay nowadays whenever it's on there. My copy works great and is in flawless condition except for someone having written their name on it, though that may just come off with some ink remover. I got it for $3 at a pawn shop.

My rarest items would have to be my PAL Terranigma in english, Fun n Games for snes, Chavez II for snes, my Aladdin Deck Enhancer with the pack in Dizzy game, my two x'eyes, and probably some other things im forgetting.

From the top of my head:

NES:
I have several Tengen games. I don't know if all of them are rare or just Tetris:
Gauntlet
Klax
Toobing
RBI Baseball
RBI Baseball 2
Super Sprint
Shinobi
After Burner


SNES:
International SuperStar Soccer Deluxe- complete
International SuperStar Soccer - cart. This one is rare even down here.
Chavez - complete
Chavez II - cart with manual. The box was severely damaged at one point and decided to throw it away. I'm still trying to complete it.
SOS (Septerion) - cart with box. The manual was damaged along with the Chavez II box.
E.V.O. - cart. Got it at a flea market for $2.
Ninja Warriors - cart with box. Got it on eBay for $6+$6 international shipping. It wasn't listed on the SNES subcategory, maybe that's why I was the only bidder.
Zero the kamikaze squirrel - complete
Wild Guns - cart with box. I misplaced the manual when the family moved several years ago and didn't find it again.
Earthbound - complete
Ogre Battle - cart with box. I lost the WHOLE game in the moving. I've been trying to recover it ever since. So far I've bought a cart (for $23, lucky ) and the box ($15). I was outbid for the "Who is Who" for a mere cent some weeks ago :,(
Mega Man X3 - complete
Final Fight 3 - complete
Street Fighter Alpha 2 - complete
Nosferatu - complete
Dracula X - cart with box
Ghould Patrol - cart
Terranigma (PAL) - complete. Bought it from a Gamefaqs user.


Genesis:
I just started to collect Genesis stuff some months ago, so I'm pretty ignorant about the rarity, but I've been told that M.U.S.H.A. is kind of rare. I have a cart that cost me $0 since the previous owner told me that it didn't work. It had a cold solder point in the ROM's pin 39.


N64:
Harvest Moon - complete
Ogre Battle 64 - complete
Starcraft 64 - complete


Gamecube:
Skyes of Arcadia Legends - complete
Pikmin - complete
Ikaruga - complete


PS2:
Marvel vs Capcom 2 - complete


PS1:
Tales of Destiny II - complete
Kartia - complete

I picked up Cheetahmen II for $3 in a local PnT store. I met the guy that traded it in later in the week as well. Apparently, he picked it up at the flea market a few years back...

[BetaWolf47]

Oh yeah, for Gamecube, I have Skies of Arcadia Legends, Ikaruga, and Phantasy Star Online: Vol 1 & 2 Plus all complete.

[SEgamer]

Most of my rares:

NES
Operation Secret Storm - complete (sort of, someone butchered the box to make it fit in a VHS rental case )
Mario's Time Machine
Pyramid
Bible Adventures
31 in 1 pirate cartridge (not really rare, but still a neat find)

Sega CD
Snatcher - complete

SNES
Harvest Moon - complete

N64
Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness - complete
Razor Scooter - complete
Starcraft 64 - complete

Virtual Boy
3D Tetris - sealed
Mario Clash - complete

[Shadow Kisuragi]

SEgamer,
Any clue what the deal was with that practice of cutting up SNES boxes to fit them into VHS rental cases? I got something similar in an auction I won off eBay, where the box for Justice League was put into a VHS sleeve.

...I see Razor Scooter at work every day, sealed. The guy who owns it worked on the project as the lead programmer.

Your kidding me right?

[GOLDEN KEYS]

i don't really have any rare items but some are a little more uncommon than others...

i have a CIB NES. my rarest games for that system would have to be contra force and ducktales 2. both worth over 30 bucks each, i believe. i have a bunch in the 15-20 dollar range but i don't think they can really be considered rare, stuff like mega man 1 and a nightmare on elm street.

aside from the slow game play, i actually enjoyed contra force. as a contra title, it's an epic failure. but it's kind of a fun game on it's own.

[Baloo]

So does anyone here own that Spiderman game for 32x?

[Buyatari]

Your kidding me right?

The company itself was based in the Bahamas, but the US warehouse was based in Orlando, Florida.

Nope but we bought a ton from Mike Etler At ~$6 each. Mike Gedeon sold plenty at flee markets. I kept a couple cases for years. I might still have a case left but I think I just ended up trading all but a single copy over the years.
