    Hmmmm...a bit of that stuff I wouldn't count as a 7 even.

    I wouldn't count:

    3 Ninjas
    Beethoven
    Choplifter III
    Eek the Cat
    Innido: Way of the Ninja
    Rex Ronan (I've passed up a TON of these)

    I would also add:

    Super Bomberman 3 (any one have this or 4, I'll swap for em!)
    Super Bomberman 4
    Ogre Battle
    Space Megaforce?
    Breath of Fire 2?

    And finally, Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie was a KILLER SFC game....and I still have two boxed complete ones left to sell or trade on my site if anyone is interested. It's a pretty uncommon game in Japan as well, selling for around $40+ there, and around $80 here. If you want one..the URL is http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/maxlords/ Check it out in IE, not Netscape. Sadly, NO Robotech game was EVER released in the US for ANY system. The only ones I have are imports for the Duo, SFC, and Famicom.

    @maxlords: I agree with some of your notes but it seems you're counting non-US releases, like Super Bomberman 3 or 4 which didn't come out here. We've beaten Eek the Cat to death in the original thread so that has to stay.

    Pretty sure that Super Bomberman 3 and 4 were released in the US in limited quantities. I've never seen them, but one of my other gaming buds has seen 3 a few times.

    If they're Japan only, ignore em...I thought they were US releases that I just can't find!

    Poor Eek....... *sniff*

    3 Ninjas, Beethoven, Inindo, and Rex Ronan are all pretty tough to find. If you've seen tons of copies of Rex Ronan in your area, it's probably because some store near you had a case, and they put the games on clearence or something. Once everybody saw how terrible the game was, they sold it to Gamestop. Take the N64 game Glover for example, Best Buy put that on clearence for like $10 a few years back, and within days Funcoland's had tons.

    I would consider Space Megaforce pretty hard to find. A complete copy went for $150 on eBay a few weeks ago. If it was something people could find easily in the wild, it would have never gotten that high. I've found one copy of it, and thats it.

    Jorpho mentioned Kid Klown's crazy chase. This is another one i've only seen once, and never came across it again. Same goes for Smartball.

    Yes, it is Robotrek. It was an Enix release.
    It's a mediocre RPG that I bought brand new for $20 last year. Then opened it. Then didn't like it. Then saw someone here say it might sell for hundreds if still sealed. Doh.

    I wouldn't be too upset. A quick look at eBay completed shows it at a low of $5 (cart only) to a high of $41 (sealed), which is in line with what my store sells it for. If Enix's name wasn't on the game I don't think anyone would even give it a second look.

    Another game I would like to throw out there, I am not sure it is rare, maybe uncommon, but I would like to hear some opinions. How about " Wordtris " I happen to like it, but I am not sure it is something that many people would run out and buy. Any thoughts?

    Yeah...people are suckers for sealed games. I don't know what idiot started this trend, but it's stupid to pay 20 X what a game is worth just to have one you'll never open.

    Thats a pretty good looking list. Most of those titles I've never seen in the wild, but I haven't exactly been collecting SNES games either so its possible I just haven't been looking at them. :P

    Oh and a couple of people mentioned Kid Klown's crazy chase as a possible rare game. I just recently picked this one up sealed on ebay:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1363713178

    I only bought it cause it was cheap and I was already getting another game from them.

    New Horizons and Uncharted Waters are different games. Actually I think New Horizons is a sequel to Uncharted Waters and that's probably why the title appears in there as well.

    Proof:
    New Horizons


    Uncharted Waters:


    By the way, I think Uncharted Waters is MUCH harder to find than New Horizons. I'm kinda surprised you guys thing NH is a tough one, really.

    Nah, it's just you. :wink:

    I see UW about 2:1 over UW:NH in the store.

    New Horizons definitely inches out Uncharted Waters on rarity but not by much

    I got Uncharted Waters at Gamestop for 9.99.. a little pricy when I got it 5 months ago but I wanted to play a pirate statagy game that weekend.. go figure.

    The graphics and music are dated even for the SNES but the gameplay is refreshing. And the game gets addicting. I haven't seen it's sequel.

    I'm basing my opinion on the Genny versions, but New Horizons completely blows away the first one. If you liked Uncharted Waters, even a little bit, tracking down New Horizons would be a good idea.

    Heh, ok. But in these days where random sealed SNES games can go for $200+, I never know.

    Default rarity and games

    Well, i think many games should be removed from this whole thing, any Mega Man games, Uncharted Waters and New Horizons, and Robotrek are easy to find. Bebe's Kids is pretty hard, then again , I have seen 2 in the past week out here, so go figure. Hurricanes is Mega Hard to get, Sonic Blastman 2 and Pocky and Rocky 2 they still sell new out here, certain games in certain areas are going to take precedence over others, it always seems to happen.
