Rarest game in your collection?

I'm not talking something along the lines of it being signed by the created, but I mean something like Half-Life 2 for the Dreamcast..something like that. I was just going through my games and I've got nothing like that. If you do I'd love to see them.

Please try and post pictures too!
 
It's not THAT rare but it took me years and luck to acquire (without using ebay)

Ico. Found it back in '06 in a Sears at a local mall while randomly browsing their pathetic games section. Who'dathunk?
 
Electroplankton is probably the only game I have that's fairly rare, at least as far as DS games go. It'll probably be worth quite a bit in 10 years or so, but I won't sell it.

Is Bangai-O for Dreamcast very rare?
 
Off the top of my head, probably one of the following:

Sapphire - PC Engine
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night w/ Japanese dialog and english text - PS1
Elemental Gearbolt Assassin's Case Set - PS1
International Superstar Soccer - SNES (never released if I recall)

I don't really know... maybe Suikoden 2? I have that, Valkyrie Profile PS1, FF3(6) SNES, FF2(4) SNES, and Secret of Mana too. Oh yeah, I have the PS1 Lunars and Vanguard Bandits.

Pretty much anything by Atlus will do, right? *snicker*

Though on a serious note, I have a sealed copy of F-Zero (SNES) that I found for a hilariously marked-down price back around the end of the N64/PS era...
 
In Australia - MGS Twin Snakes and Skies of Arcadia Legends.

Getting a used copy of Tales of Symphonia trucked up through EB because the prices are shooting up for it on Ebay.

i was pretty psyched to find Harvest Moon 64 and Survival Kids at a used game store's "1/2 price tent sale," where they were trying to get rid of "the crap that doesnt sell." also found suikoden 3 there and sold it back to them a couple weeks later for $3 more than i paid.

I guess Cubivore is the most legitimately "rare" game i have anymore. i sold all my old obscure JRPGs for ridiculous amounts of money after i played through them because i only keep games that are still fun to me.
 

BIG BUBBA

Did I mention it's time to cancel my Ratchet and Clank preorder yet?
Funny you just made this thread... I'm home for the summer and have been trying to dig up some of my old games/systems. Turns out my mom threw out all of the boxes, so any mildly valuable games (black label FF7, Dragon Force, Mars Matrix, etc.) are pretty much worthless now.
 
I dunno I guess Suikoden 2. Unless Dragon Force is rarer, but I only have the disc for that.

Before this thread gets cluttered with stuff like Final Fantasy VII and crap like that, just want to make sure ppl think about posting stuff they think is rare.

For me, no pics right now, too lazy. But probably Saturn House of the Dead and sealed Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence LE.

hmm probably Lunar 1 and 2 on my PS1. The Lunar 1 is the reprint but 2 is the full pull edition with the medallion and popup figures and such.

I also have a complete copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga, but it has been smoke damaged unfortunately so it is not for sale.

I'm sure you could find plenty of folks (like me!) who would buy a smoke damaged copy just to be able to play the game.

Let's see some rare games I own:

- SMT: Nocturne with Soundtrack
- Ar Tonelico with artbook and sountrack
- Persona 2
- Final Fantasy VII
- Skies of Arcadia (GC) - I put it as rare, cuz it's really expensive to buy nowadays, even for used.

- SMT: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2
- MGS: TTS
- Zelda Collection (GC) - that thing is rare only cuz you couldn't buy it in stores and only available as a promotional item and it sells pretty high on ebay.
- DQ VII

If you play Stake with three of your friends, you'll probably just end up with three fewer friends.

Score: 3.6/10

Well, I got an amazing deal by buying a giant lot of games off of Bjork for $600 so he wouldn't have to ship them to Hawaii.. I've sold off most of them but PDS is my gem, and I know I'll never see another copy of it if I part with it.

ICO (PAL) I guess.

Izuna is rare? Let me guess you hoarded those when it dropped to $20? :lol

Did Suikoden II have a low print run? If so...

I got the Tingle Balloon Flight DS game. Its not that hard to find but I doubt it was made in huge numbers, so its kinda rare I guess. I have the Club Nintendo Game & Watch collection too. I have the 3 disc MGS3 too, if thats rare.

i guess radiant silvergun would be the most expensive, but that game isn't particularly rare as such. harmful park? hyper duel? gleylancer? i've got a pretty nice shooter collection
