    Wasn't Darxide (an European exclusive) the most expensive 32X game?
    Step Back! This is my blast shot!

    Probably. Still, comparing that version Chaotix to either USA or JPN is striking nonetheless.

    So glad I have a copy


    Star Ocean 2 is also pretty rare in EU. I refuse to pay the £60 it commands on Ebay/Amazon. Still yet to see one in the wild.

    Kitzune Encounter for MCD and Darxide, T-Mek and Primal Rage are all amazingly rare for the 32X.
    I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!

    Ghostbusters II
    My Golf (not quite, but getting rarer)
    the ITT games
    These are rare, but most certainly not the rarest.

    BTW: Sentinel did not get a US release. It only exists as a prototype:

    Rarest VCS PAL titles in general:

    Of each title on these lists there are 3 or less carts known to exist.

    yes they are more expensive then the NTSC versions, but they're by far not in the top 25 rare games.. they're just "famous" and popular, hence expensive

    SNES:

    Starwing competition PAL is rare I suppose (a few thousand made) although one can buy one at ebay at almost any given time (for absurd prices). I let a few pass for far far lower prices some years ago, ...

    I've only seen Soul Blazer in it's PAL form once (offline). Since it was in French I resold it and bought the more common NTSC English version with it (while still maintaining some cash to spend)...

    One Piece Unlimited Cruise Double Pack released only in Germany.
    Dokapon Kingdom was Wii exclusive for PAL (no PS2 there), and I believe didn't reach every country.

    Game Boy Hammerin' Harry is very scarce. So hard to find it isn't even documented whether it's actually rare. Too few copies appear at any price to be sure.
    Lum fan.
