Rarest Game You Own?

I think my rarest game is the Limited Edition of Ico (cardboard box with the art cards).
I don't know if you guys know these systems, but I also have a Gamate and a Mega Duck handheld, each with 10+ games.
Especially the Gamate is quite rare.
Is that a rare game? Nice to know, because I have a copy of that game too.

The games aren't rare anymore, but I still have the deluxe box for Digital Devil Saga 1&2.
I don't think the VB guide is especially rare, but I do have that and the Lunar 2 guide.
I took out one of the stickers when I was younger, but it remains otherwise intact.
The Lunar 2 guide still has all of the stickers.
It even still has the poster offer! Expires January 1, 2002. Ha!

Probably Panzer dragoon saga. I have some obscure Saturn games floating around, probably rare but definitely wouldn't fetch money from collectors.
I see a lot of radiant historias on here. Is that game really that rare? I know they had the 2nd pressing...

I wonder how we can find out which game is actually rarer. As in, how many copies of each were printed.
Don't think I've got anything super amazing;
MGS3 Premium Package w/ Shagohod model.
Suikoden PS1
Shenmue 1&2 PAL Dreamcast
Skies of Arcadia Dreamcast
Original PAL ICO cardboard sleeve pack w/ art cards
I did have Ring of Red for PS2 which was highly regarded a couple of years back, but I traded it away shortly after beating it and back when I naively still did that sort of thing; really wish I hadn't done that.
There are probably a couple more gems I have tucked away - I need to go crate-digging and remind myself what's actually in my collection!

Disaster: Day of Crisis and the Piggyback game guide of Final Fantasy 9. It sells on Amazon for between 150 and over 200 bucks. I found it last summer for 20. Does anyone here know why it's worth so much?

I want that but not $400 bad :/
When I was younger, I'd have agreed with you.
But now? Dude, there's SO many games for you to play. Those old games are something that are nice to say you have, but they're otherwise just dust collectors.
I just need to find the right buyer for my stuff, and I'd happily sell 90% of all the games I have.

I don't know if this is rare, but I don't know anyone else who has ever tried "playing" it.
Sorry, I'm at work, so I had to look up an image. Anyone else here ever play this piece of garbage?

MUSHA is rare? Crap, I sold my collection of ~40 mint complete Genesis games a couple of years ago for a pittance. :-/ And MUSHA was one of them.
Everything I owned that was rare has either been reprinted or rereleased as a HD collection.
ICO - reprinted and HD collection
Shadow of the Colossus - HD collection
SMT III: Nocturne/Lucifer Call - reprinted
Digital Devil Saga 1 - reprinted
Digital Devil Saga 2 - reprinted
Zone of the Enders 2 - reprinted
Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence - HD collection
Ar Tonelico EU - reprinted
Gitaroo Man - reprinted
I think the only rare-ish games I own now that has stayed that way are Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army and Gregory Horror Show (but that's still easy enough to find).

I have the Lunar Silver Star Story guide but I want that Eternal Blue one, darnit.
Anyways the rarest game I believe I own is a complete in box copy of Kirby's Dreamland 3. It didn't look like it had a long print and CIB copies tend to get close to the 100 dollar barrier but thankfully I got mine for cheaper.

I guess the US version of Xenoblade is rare or so I've heard, I have that plus the US Last Story LE. Also, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Tetris DS.
Panzer Dragoon Saga, complete. I bought a GAFer's entire collection and that, plus the Saturn, are basically what remains of it.
Back in the day, I used to be a hell of a rare game flipper. I once drove all over the Bay Area relieving Toys 'R' Us of their Digital Devil Saga copies for $10 apiece, wound up with dozens of them. Now I just play PC games in my free time, haven't bought any console games in years.

Not much of a game collector nowadays but I guess these count:
Damn, both Metal Gear Solid and DJMAX Portable. I'd love both of those
I'm selling off a ton of old games this week but I couldn't let these go lol
No shit, I found this game at a goodwill for like $6 so I bought it. Never played it and it looked cool. Had a bunch of little standee paper figures in it and a stone or coin or something too iirc. It's currently in storage in California while I'm in England for another 1.5 years. Is it worth anything?

I love them both. I have no idea how much the Dj Max Prestige Package is worth though since I rarely see one for sale.

Got to love the care and quality of a Working Designs published game, such a shame they're no more. I mean who on earth can resist foil print covers and cases let alone that fact they give you a hard covered manual!

I've actually been recently selling off stuff I've had boxed away for years, some going back to the 80's. Sitting on thousands of dollars worth of stuff that just sits in a sealed box. Surprisingly the NES/SNES boxes, manuals, inserts, and maps have gotten the most hits lately. Trying to decide if I want to sell my 51 issues of GameFan...

Bioshock Limited Edition w/ Big Daddy

I have a game called Dragon View...I swear, I have never heard anyone other than me even mention it.
Dragon View isn't particularly rare, just not well known. Nothing special but a decent.

Hmm, depends.
I have Metroid Prime Trilogy sealed, got the last copy at my local HMV (Canada), never saw it since in stores.
Debating whether I should open it when I can (not on me atm), I was hoping to get a used copy for playing, I'm banking on my sealed one being a real collector's item at some point, could be worth lots of moolah.
Also I have a sealed copy of a potentially very rare edition of Sonic Unleashed Wii, it has a sticker claiming that a "Sonic DVD" is included inside, got it at The Real Canadian Superstore. Never heard of this edition elsewhere, not even online.

Oh crap I forgot I had this too.
I found this version of Wind Waker for the absolute lowest pre-owned price in one of my local game retailers back when it had been out for a couple of years. Think it was $19 and it was practically mint condition.
Seeing these versions and pretty much any Zelda release on Gamecube go for some rather ridiculous prices these days is kind of a big shocker to me.

Well I don't really own any snazzy super rare limited editions of games from the 90's but
I do feel good about owning this game. And Metroid Prime Trilogy.
I've got the US versions of this and MML2. I had no idea they were so rare.
