Probably the only somewhat rare game I have that I can think of is Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. Been waiting for an opportunity to obtain Subsistence for a decent price.

I have a lot of "rare" Saturn games like Panzer Dragoon Saga. I also have a lot of the "rare" PS1 games like Valkyrie Profile and Suikoden 2 and several of the hard to find shmups for the DC like Border Down and Under Defeat. However, I think the rarest thing I own may be my Gameboy Advance SP special edition featuring Groudon with matching carrying case. These don't show up on Ebay often. There's a new one on there right now that someone is trying to get $799.00 for!

Metroid Prime Trilogy, came with a mini-artbook and slipcover too, and a nice metallic-looking case. A shame I didn't end up liking any of the games too much, lol.
Whoa. I had the Donkey Kong Jr. game and watch back in the day. Sold it/gave it way/threw it away probably 25 years ago. Anyway, its on the 3DS virtual console now and I almost cried from nostalgia when I loaded it up. I must have been 7 or 8 years old when I last played it. Damn youngn's today, don't even remember a time when Mario was occasionally a villian.
As far as rare games, the only one I've got even somewhat rare is Metroid Prime Trilogy, and I had no idea until this thread. I do have a bunch of 2600 cartridges back at my folk's house, but I really doubt those are "rare", damn console was just too popular.
Goddamn kids don't know how lucky they have it.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
I do, brother. I do. Me and a buddy used to make mazes when we were 10 or 11 based on games. Check it out:
I used to have copies of Crazy Climber and Quadrun. You could only get them through the Atari Club. I used to have the entire run of Atari Age. I was foolish enough to let these things get away from me at some point in the past. Big regrets. Quadrun is worth a shitload now.
I think this is partly why I hold on to ALL games now. Once bitten, twice shy.
NASCAR Racing 2003 Season.
One of the biggest racing simulator gems of the earlier generation and still one of the most realistic sim created:
Still fetches for a large price

Rare? What!!
I have boxed Mac and PC versions of this game, and in fact have nearly every Papyrus Racing game ever made. Some boxed, some not, some on floppy disk. Grand Prix Legends was an amazing sim racing game.
Adam Levesque was at Blue Fang (a friend of mine worked there) came from Papyrus Racing.
Edit: Didn't know about iracing.com, and David Kaemmer (and John Henry). Mind blown to find their head office is about 1/2 mile from where I am sitting now!
Awesome. The good old days.
I remember Atari Age. Knowing you once had Quadrun, that's gotta hurt! Also, thanks to this thread, I see the GCN component cables are worth a little... I got them somewhere but it may be hopeless to actually find them. I never would have thought some cables would have been a big deal. I believe I'm going to start holding on to everything more tightly also. Oh well, I'll stumble across the cables sooner or later, hell, I probably gave them and my gamecube away when i got the wii, now that I think about it.

I didn't know that Bayonetta Limited Edition was rare either.

My sweethearts:
I also have:
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Limited Edition (EUR version)
Megaman Zero Collection (sealed)
Game Boy Micro Famicom Edition
Shenmue II (Dreamcast)
None of them are super rare, but I still consider them valuable parts of my collection.

Was going to dig out my Lenslock copy of Elite for the ZX Spectrum, but it's in a box in the basement. You win on the BBC Elite (disk version)?
I do have a copy of Arc Elite, and a working A4000 to play it on.

Didn't know Persona 2 was that rare, I should sell mine and buy the psp remake with the money 
Also,
The games are not shrink wrapped, just kept in plastic covers. That's all 3 parts of Shining Force 3, Shining Fore CD, the Ys and Trails in the Sky 3 packs for PSP, Legend of Heroes: White Wtich for Saturn, and the soundtracks for Soul Hackers and Tengai Makyou IV
The groudon GBA (didn't know this was rare,) Mother 1&2, Ocarina of Time/Master Quest, Phantasy Star Collection, Ys3-5 on PS2
Tengai Makyou Namida SE, Gyakuten Saiban 2 and 3, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix

Now I remember. I have the Zelda Spirit Tracks Tin edition. The tin contained the game, Link and Phantom figurines (slightly changed paint job compared with their Phantom Hourglass versions which came from capsule machines in Japan).
It being Zelda related makes it worth a bit more than your standard GBA SP. Also, it gets easily confused with the far more limited version [seen earlier in this thread actually] which was limited to 300 units and not for sale (Club Nintendo was one way to get it, competitions another). Difference is that has a bigger box, a numbered certificate and I think a T-Shirt.
never selling it even if it was rare (don't think it is)

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night signed by Michiru Yamane
Oh man, I'm so jealous. The soundtracks composed by Yamane-san are godly.

If autographed games count, then I definitely have to mention my Super Mario 64 cart and Mario & Luigi 3 cover art, both of which were signed by Charles Martinet.
And I Streetpassed his Mii, too.
Is this the launch event in Brazil?
I didn't Streetpassed his Mii. =/
It's the Mario 3D Land promotional event in Santiago, Chile.

I dunno how rare it is, but I just found out that the Gamestop-exclusive Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Collector's editions seem to go for $350 - $400
I bought the groudon/kyogre SPs for my daughters, didn't realize they were that rare. They should still have them. They also have a Pokemon GBC, DS and DSi.

Not really sure, I think the rarer ones I have may be FFT Millennium Collection, FF1 for the Famicom with everything, FF1+2 for the Famicom with everything, or some unopened games like Castlevania 4.

Metal Slug X is nowhere close to being worth $800 dollars. Sorry.
Yes it is. If its in good condition its worth around $700. Not that far off.

Tetris DS is rare? I have one too! Didn't think I owned a rare game.
These are some of the oldest games in my pathetic collection. The Shenmue II also has a dvd of sorts, and Dragon Quest VIII has a FF XII demo.

I've never seen one of these before! And google images tells me there's a matching Kyorge version. They've both been added to the pile of wants.
I don't really have that many rarities (or what I'd consider to be rare) but some people may:
Shining Force III Premium Disc
Azure Dreams (GBC) CIB
Knuckles Chaotix CIB (I believe the PAL version is much rare than the NTSC)
Zelda: Collector's Edition (GC) - This isn't rare but people always seem to mention it.

I was one of those 3000. Awesome game, such a sense of place in the world. It looked astounding at the time too.

Just have to say how great this is. We would've definitely been best buds had we gone to the same school. Wish I still had stuff like this.

Rarest game I own is the PSX Blood Omen.
Nothing like as rare as most of the things in this thread, but its going for £69.99 on amazon.

I thought the boxed Director's Cut version of Realms of the Haunting was rare, but it seems to be fairly easy to find on eBay etc. >_> Other than that I don't really have anything particularly rare, besides the Crystal Edition of FF XIII-2, and I just bought Silent Hill 3 PC off eBay. Dunno if SH4 PC is rare? Most of the rare stuff I own are books and signed CDs/limited edition CDs and such.

Are Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Suikoden 2, or the Arc The Lad Collection rare?
