Rarest game in your collection?

Not much.
Zone of the Enders 2
Beyond Good and Evil GCN
I also have a couple games that will likely become rare, like TWEWY, Okami Wii, Geometry Wars Galaxies Wii, Trauma Center New Blood, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, and King of Fighters XI. I'm also going to get a LE of Tales of Vesperia, which is likely to be rare considering how they're handling it.
I also managed to finally get a black label God of War, which I am pretty sure will be that gen's black label FFVII.

Maybe not Panzer Dragoon Saga rare but enough to hold a significant amount of their original value.
I think Geometry Wars Galaxies on the Wii has the potential to be the rarest. 10-15 years from now when people are talking about how addictive the game was, they're not going to be able to (legally) download either of the XBLA releases anymore, Galaxies will be their only choice.

I'm not sure on current availability, but I have the complete Bit Generations series for GBA. Awesome little games.

I bought Okami Wii on launch day and it was the only copy they had in the store. An extremely popular store at that. And it was well hidden, stacked with the side facing out, among shovelware and old games. Since then, I haven't seen a single copy of it in stock anywhere in Brisbane, and we have like 5 game stores in the CBD alone.
MGS:TTS and Etrian Odyssey are just uncommon, Electroplankton and DDR: Mario mix are rare IMO, Electroplankton being the rarer of the two. DDR Mario mix sold about 300k in the US, a good amount, but find a complete copy is going to be hard (The game would of sold more, but Nintendo only made 2 productions before it stopped production)angelfly said:
Electroplankton I don't think even broke the 10k mark. (A small indication for newer games is there price at gamestop. Electroplankton is $60 used.)

MGS: Twin Snakes and Skies of Arcadia Legends mint condition. That's about it - and they're not very rare, at that.
From Wikipedia:
Some winners of Working Designs' contests for Elemental Gearbolt received 'Assassin Case' prizes that contained gold-plated Guncon light guns. These Assassin Cases are among the most rare and prized collectibles from the Playstation era.
You crazy mon!

It is basically a remix of sorts using content from mainly the first two game and a little bit from the third, Phoenix games removed the ability to save the game so the only way to unlock everything is to play it on the pc and use savestates. It still has Tate and a boss rush mode.
It is not a port of Sonic Wings Limited (Arcade) which has the same remix premise.
I'm pretty sure I have an Atari 2600 cartridge that no one else on this board owns.
A guy took a bunch of tech demos for the Atari 2600 on the Stella programming list and strung them together into one sequence of demos. Then he made the ROM available online. Then Hozer Video, before they closed down, made actual cartridges from that, with a label and everything.
My best friend sent me one of those cartridges. Why? Well, I wrote one of the demos, so some of my code is on there.
Other than that, I have other rare stuff, but they're not in the "probably only 5 exist in the world" categories.

Well if rare counts games that maybe 20 people bought I have Math Play for the DS and Dewy's Adventure. Nothing rare that people would want to play though.

Wait how did he win when I posted it first? =)
I have a bunch of stuff but as far as things I don't see often are sealed copies of Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Link: The Faces of Evil.
I've got a ton of PSX era stuff...
It's not a full game but I have a full sized PC box for Morrowind (Was printed as a prototype, by the time the game came out they'd switched to the mini boxes for PC games).

How much would those things fetch on Ebay, I wonder?

I've seen one for sure go for about $600, but I thought I heard one went for a grand once.
A rare peripheral I own would be a black Biohazard 4 chainsaw controller. These were set to be produced for Japan by Nubytech, but only 20 prototypes were made before the company decided to not go through with it. There we're fliers and everything for it. I managed to get one from an employee before a dealer bought the remaining 19:
As for a retail game. I'd have to say its the Resident Evil Gun Survivor 2 arcade cabinet I own.

US Suikoden II and Castlevania Chronicles are rare? I still have those.
Anyway, I don't have too much anymore since I eBay'ed or gave away most of my really old and rare(r) stuff in '00 and '01.
These days, I think it's just down to some Japanese titles:
Shadowrun (Mega CD)
Rondo of Blood (PC-E Super CD)
Golden Axe III (Mega Drive)
Rakugaki Showtime (PS)
Yu Yu Hakusho (Mega Drive)
Alien Soldier (Mega Drive)
Azel Panzer Dragoon RPG & Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn Japanese & US)
Geppy X (PS)
1on1 (PS)

pretty rad, I love old PC boxes
I have a copy of Little Red Hood on the Nes. It is not in my apartment at the moment, which is a shame because it is interesting and I'd love to show a picture. It never got the official seal from Nintendo so in order to make it work you have to plug a licensed game in the top to bypass the security lockout. It looks kinda like a Nes version of Sonic and Knuckles in that way.
Found some more info and pictures here: http://www.nesplayer.com/reviews/littleredhoodr.htm
It is a terrible game, but still nice to have.

You know, CJ sold his Gearbolt case on eBay a while ago. Ended up getting over $1000 for it, if I remember correctly.john tv said:
I have a few of the "typical" rare games: Panzer Dragoon Saga, Radiant Silvergun, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Xbox), Castlevania Chronicles, etc.
One game that I'm pretty proud of is this prototype cart of Drac's Night Out for NES. This is an official cart from Parker Brothers; not a reproduction. The game was never released.
