[Dever]

I got nothing. Probably the European re-release version of Ico with the Japanese boxart.

 

[painey]

I have a PAL sealed copy of Ehrgeiz on PS1.

 

[Kobayashi]

Great stuff

 

[Pizza Luigi]

I heard someone say that the DKC games for the SNES were pretty rare?

 

[Chinner]

I've probably got a few rare games that I'm not aware of, but the only thing that comes to mind is Streets of Rage 2.

 

[British Monsoon]

Megadrive games;

Panzer Dragoon saturn collection;

Saturn rarities;

Shining Force III collection;

Snatcher PAL;

SHMUPS collection;

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I got nothing really, really rare I quess, I got MGS:TTS, Zelda: Collectors Edition, ZOE2 etc. though,

 

[Issun23]

This reminded me I have 5 copies of the same game. :lol

 

[Night_Trekker]

Castlevania Chronicles, I guess.

 

[NIN90]

Not much..

Ehrgeiz PSX
ZOE2 PS2

 

[TrueReligion]

Street fighter zero 3 for the saturn

 

[Aeana]

Probably the FM-TOWNS version of Emerald Dragon.

 

[SovanJedi]

Ogre Battle 64 and Sin & Punishment still in their boxes.

 

[NekoFever]

Super Mario Bros signed by Shigeru Miyamoto
Mint sealed Super Mario RPG
Mint Chrono Trigger SNES
Mint Harvest Moon SNES
PAL Dreamcast Samba De Amigo (value probably dropped with the Wii version, but it used to go for ~£250)
ZOE2
Rez (PS2 and PAL Dreamcast)
Street Fighter III: Third Strike Limited Edition (PS2)
NiGHTS Dream Pack (PS2)
Shenmue II (PAL Dreamcast)
Halo 3 Legendary Edition

Probably some more of my DC collection as well. I bought most of the big releases when they came out and some of them became very hard to find, especially the special editions (Code Veronica, Sonic Adventure 2, Grandia II, Shenmue and Shenmue II).

Several of the Capcom 2D fighters for Saturn, too.

 

[SaitoH]

Not really rare, but it's Smurf rescue in gargamel's castle, Dammit!

 

[zmet]

Megadrive games;

Nice! I pretty much have the same rare games you do. Quick question. What's up with the Twinkle Tale cart? My copy doesn't have the Twinkle Tale name in black letters.

 

[[Nintex]]

I've got a boxed copy of Mega Man NES and RC-Pro Am which is quite RARE.
A couple of boxed PC games like Starcraft and Jazz Jackrabbit 2(I haven't seen many of these). Killer 7 and Tales of Symphonia PAL for GameCube, not sure if these are rare. A Zelda TP collectors box with sword/shield+cd and a Mario GameCube controller from NoE's star catalogue. And last but not least a Resident Evil 4 cardboard store display.

 

[DDayton]

Oh, that reminds me.. I have a box for Super Mario Bros.

I know that -those- are somewhat rare. Hah.

 

[British Monsoon]

Quick question. What's up with the Twinkle Tale cart? My copy doesn't have the Twinkle Tale name in black letters.

The printing on the sticker was starting to wear away, so the guy I bought it from hi-lighted the name, he'd also filed down the sides of the cart so it'd fit in an unmodified PAL megadrive - I would've preferred a mint copy, but they're usually too expensive on ebay and don't crop up often, so I was glad to find this slightly cheaper alternative.

 

[Ydahs]

I had a retail copy of this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isQp0Q_cfiE

It's Shao Lin (PS1) and it was unreleased in the US. I think I traded it in for a crappy winter racing game. I hope it's not rare.

 

[samratty]

I guess Panzer Dragoon Saga and Alien Soldier are my rarest/most vauable games

 

[Moor-Angol]

PS1

SS

DC

N64

 

[Rayne.S]

I really doubt anyone knows about this edition of ICO, so yeah, this would be my "rarest version of a rare game"

Have bunches of other stuff as well. Castlevania Saturn, Grandia 2 JP ( including soundtrack and artbook ), never released PAL PS2 version of Space Channel 9 part 2, Guilty Gear X DC JP including soundtrack on a tiny chopped up CD .

 

[eXistor]

I suppose some of these would be considered rare.

I had too many pictures as it is, but I have these as well which i think are rare-ish

all boxed and mint of course
CIMA: the enemy (GBA)
Kid Icarus (GB)
Zelda: AlttP (snes)
Zelda Collector's edition (GC, the promo disc with a bunch of Zelda games on it)
A bunch of Atlus games from the last four years or so.

 

[Issun23]

I do. =P

There's also the equivalent of that of Shadow of the Colossus. It's a carton box with 2 DVDs inside - one with the press materials, the other with demos and videos of Shadow of the Colossus and several other Sony games + art cards. It also comes with the promo version of the game and a Shadow of the Colossus/ICO combo demo disc. I'll try to post pictures.

 

[Stumpokapow]

In case people are wondering "AM NBA HANGTIME RARE?"

Rarity:
http://www.digitpress.com
There are no rarity values for recent games. It's just not possible to determine them, for the most part.

Price:
http://www.videogamepricecharts.com

Both sites are US-only, sorry.

 

[nny]

wow, what's up with those editions of shadow of the colossus and ICO? Never seen them before..very cool.

I don't know how rare some of these are, some I've been judging by previous posts in this thread:

Is there any online database of rarity of games?

Sir, you win the thread, rarest of them all!

 

[Netto-kun]

Got all these games from my cousin in Hong Kong when I didn't know the difference between and real and a fake game. Super Mario Bros 3. is the only game that's original. The blue cart is a slightly buggy version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the side-scrolling Beat 'em up.:lol The rest should be...rather obvious.

The convertor/adapter cassette is needed so I can play the Famicom games on my European NES. The Zelda games are the real deal as well, too bad my NES can't play them.:lol

Excite Truck seems to be out of print (at least here in Norway), so I bought a used copy in mint condition. Found a used copy of Mega Man Network Transmission a couple of years ago. I never saw Ikaruga, Skies of Arcadia Legends or Baten Kaitos in any stores, so I had to buy them from Ebay. Got the Zelda: Collector's Edition a couple of years ago.

Is this one considered..rare?

Edit: Forgot this one.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Is the Sonic Adventure thing worth anything? I have that and I have no idea what made me want it, I was like 13 at the time and I got it from some import site. :lol

I bet the coin and soundtrack inside is worth something, keep it

 

[NekoFever]

Damn, how could I forget What's Shenmue? Such a cool demo for spotting how they've replaced actual things from the game with Sega references

 

[Zombiesaurus]

3. Super Robot Wars Alpha Limited Edition

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.

Other than SRW Alpha LE for PS1:
SAT - Panzer Dragoon Saga (PAL)
SAT - Astra Superstars
SAT - Thunder Force V special pack
DC - Under Defeat LE

 

[eXistor]

I dunno I have it too and I got it for €10 or something and it seems there are a butt-load of 'em.

 

[DJ GT-S]

It's my understanding that this game wasn't printed in such great numbers

 

[Mideon]

 

[Issun23]

Here it is, it's practically the whole European press pack for Shadow of the Colossus (sans standalone demo disc, which I have but is not pictured).

Press packs, hm? Are they usually this special? If so, it's time for me to join the press. P

ICO and Shadow of the Colossus had some wonderful press packs. But not all games receive this treatment.

Rayne's ICO boxset is a press pack too but the first one I posted, the Shadow of the Colossus white box went on sale in Japan at the time of release. It's just the game, a necklace and a shirt tucked away in a big carton box. But there's only 1000 of them so it is kind of special too. Oh and it came in a Shadow of the Colossus themed bag and with a video disc.

 

[robor]

Is Street Fighter Zero 3 (JNTSC) for Satrun with complimentary RAM-CART considered rare? If so then that's the rarest thing i own. Was thinking about giving it to me friend with a Jap Saturn for his birthday, I just don't play it and he loves that game and what better way to play it then on the best home version. Tis a neat package though.

 

[GitarooMan]

Not a ton of stuff, I do have a complete US copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga, which I guess is pretty rare.

Thanks for the elucidation; well, I guess Team ICO delivers on all fronts.

 

[VariableTerry]

I have Action 52 on NES. Sadly it's not complete. It's fun to play occasionally.

 

[adamsapple]

Valkyrie Profile (PS1)

 

[Kuramu]

Though I expect there are quite a few gaffers with it, I am one of the 8000 or so who bought Cubivore.

 

[eXistor]

I have it, but is that 8000 remark true? If so then it's rarer than I thought.

 

[jvm]

Tribes 2 for Linux:

I'm pretty sure noone bought this except for me - everybody and his mother pirated ported Linux games by Loki, that's why they went out of business.

Fairly certain I have that and almost all other Loki games. It helps to be friends with the programmers. :^)

 

[Miroslav]

Is this considered rare?



I also have this:

 

[Sixfortyfive]

I don't think anything in here is particularly rare, but I do like having a nearly complete set of Treasure games (plus some related memorabilia). Need to add Bangai-O Spirits to the pile and update the photo.

There's a couple of things in here worth noting:

Everyone says that PS1 for the Mega Drive is super-rare, but its going rate doesn't seem to reflect that.

[tons of awesome]

Very nice.

 

[Celery&Lager]

You can probably find it in the bargain bins in Japan but this is the closest to a "rare" game in my collection.

 

[jet1911]

Probably Phantom Dust (Xbox)

 

[Always-honest]

golden eye is my only Rare game

;P
