hey there, if you don't mind can you drop me a PM with your details? I have a friend trying to track who exactly owns the cases (he's been tracking from the original competition winner list + sales etc) :D

rarest game...?

uhh...

I'm assuming that's excluding signed stuff, since that's kind of artificial.

Well, Disgaea for PSP was discontinued no more than 3 months on-shelf, so I guess that D:

I got grudge sucked!
Valkyrie Profile, Suikoden II and FFVII are the ones I have that fetch the most on eBay. Tales of Destiny 1 and 2 (Eternia) are fairly rare. Used to have Tactics Ogre on the PS1, but I never played it, so I sold it.

This is where folks are confusing rare with expensive. Those games aren't rare. Somewhat expensive to get? Yes. Rare? Not really.

To be fair, it is rare because I "made" it myself.

But I don't really know what else of mine is rare. I live in a metropolitan enough area (DC Baltimore corridor) that all manner of rarities go in to and out of used games stores.

Any idea how much this is worth now? I've been meaning to sell my copy for ages but have had no luck putting a value on it.

Not sure if you can still find that in Japan or Hong Kong but here in Singapore chances are close to zero.

I actually bought two when it first came out, but sold one of the copies. Shooters always end up being the rarest games considering how small the print runs usually are.

I also have a LE copy of Borderdown, which is probably worth more than Judgement Silversword.

yeah - it is, at least in Japan.

I got 15,000 yen for Border Down (the same edition as yours with the music CD extra) just selling it direct (too lazy to auction)

buy an orange dvd case and make your own
Click to expand...

It's not just any orange dvd case. It is just the right hue and translucency to match the green dvd cases. The corners and clips and everything also appear to be from the same mold.

It is from a copy of "Where The Wild Things Are" from a Maurice Sendak boxset, if anyone is looking to do the same themselves.

I think I've posted this picture around these parts before but here it goes again:

Those really aren't all that rare though, at least not when it comes to US/Euro Neo Geo games. I guess it's a bit ironic when I think the least rare Neo Geo games there are Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 5, both of which had a print run totaling 200-300. :lol As a well known console with officially released games the Neo Geo sort of kind of does a hell of a good job redefining the term "rare".

No Metal Slug 3 for the 360, or Metal Slug 4/5 for the PS2? And what about Metal Slug Advance? If you went that far out on the games, why not get a full set :lol
How come no one has photographed any virtual boy games? Or steel battalion? lol

I do have all those, and a few more. ;) I took that picture some time back as the "Metal Slug essentials". I'm not sure why Metal Slug Advance didn't make the picture, I probably just couldn't find it at the time.

Now that Metal Slug 7 has graced us this picture needs updating.

Wow !!!! These neogeo metal slugs are awesome !!! I have all in japanese version except the first one (the rarest and more expensive one).

In the neogeo world I think the rarest think I have is this:

neo1bn7.jpg


neo2an0.jpg


Serial 8316. This machines are for rental only (the first models of neogeo) before the launch of the "domestic" machine with the black box. I have a boxed controller with the same box (white and green).

This machines have different bios, not soldered to the board, plugged. Is easy to modify and put an universal bios. Is a bit different internally.

I can't believe I am the only one who has this
This is the original 1997 version of Dragonball GT: Final Bout. Came out much before Dragonball came to the US
