What is the rarest game that you own?

I would have to say that Aero Fighters for the SNES is the rarest game that I own. I also have Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for the SNES, which can fetch a good chunk of change.

marvel vs street fighter at 52$ on amazon

Here are a few games worthy of noting down for this topic.

* Mega Man X for SNES- With perfect condition box, instruction manual, everything from factory packaging.

* Aladdin for SNES- With perfect condition box, instruction manual, everything from factory packaging.

I don't really collect rare games, I am a huge nostalgia and video game collector though. I have some games that are hard to find, but they aren't very rare in terms of pricing or anything notable.

EDIT: I remembered that I have "The Legend of Zelda: Gold Cartridge Edition" for the NES. I think that's pretty rare, I'm not too sure though.

Yeah, I really wish I would have kept all that stuff. Most of the rare games I have are from a rental store that decided to sell off their older products, its amazing how many "rare" games they were selling!

I don't know if its that rare, all my friends have the Gold Cart. I thought it was weird when I saw a gray cart! haha

Suikoden II, going for a $100+ on eBay, can't think of anything else I have that's terribly rare.

Ikaruga for the Gamecube.

I want to get my hands on the Dreamcast version though since I no longer have a Gamecube.

Probably my copy of the original Persona. I have all the SMT games though, so anyone of them could be the rarest. Haven't checked the prices in awhile actually.

Probably Jack Bros and Space Squash for Virtual Boy. Both boxed and in mint condition. I also have Shinobi X for the Sega Saturn that is quite rare.

Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Saturn. I just checked Amazon.com and there's someone trying to sell their copy for $1,500. Nutter. Copies usually go for no less than $100 though.

legend of legaia black label, growlancer heritage of war, lunar silver star story complete box, lunar 2 eternal blue complete, parasite eve 1 and 2, dino cisis, resident evil1,2,3, silent hill 2, street fight 2 collection (ps1), and a whole bunch i can't think of right now legend of dragoon too.

Earthbound.

This is a pretty cool website if you are interested in rare and valuable games.

http://www.racketboy.com/guide/the-rarest-and-most-valuable-video-games

Im not sure if sum of these are rare but i no half of them are ancient...

Metal Gear Solid: PS1 (probally not rare but i no its the best game made for the playstation}

pokemon blue: GB

pokemon gold: GB

mario bros: NES

mega man x: SNES

Aladdin: SNES

Leged of zelda: SNES

007 goldeneye: N64

Legend of zelda ocarina of time: N64

Plus alot of others that i dont want to count rite now.

I own a slew of games for my Famicom and Famicom Disk System i've had to import from Japan. Also most of my Vectrex games and Some of the Atari 2600 games I have (like the adult games, Xonox double enders, etc) are pretty uncommon. Have an Aladdin Deck Enhancer with all of the cartridges in box for my 8-biit NES. Same with Cheetaman II. Also some cartridges for the Arcadia 2001 system. I've been collecting this stuff for way too long.

Chrono trigger, that's the only one. Unless I count the bad rare games I have for NES.

original pocket monsters green version, probably not rare, but got it before ebay from a mate who got it from a brother who was an english teacher in japan... so would have been rare when i got it consider i was in new zealand... got full packaging, box, handbook and game... ironically i had clocked red/blue/yellow so often at the time that i could play it without needing a translation, the pokemon images are GREAT though, TBH after green/red/blue the quality of pokemon images went downhill (since they all made them cute and cuddly after it was such a big hit)

also have an original duke nukem atomic edition, also not that great, but i think what makes games special is the fact that you played them so much, etc

Chrono trigger, that's the only one. Unless I count the bad rare games I have for NES.

SagaRain

I remember when Chrono Trigger was the holy grail of popular "rare" games. I tried to get a copy about 10 years ago, and I couldn't find any under $250. I have a friend that had a complete version, even in the shrink wrap. He bought it from a hardware store in my home town that sold some video games. He bought it for $10, sold it for $2,500! He also bought a sealed Star Fox and Zelda: Link to the Past from the same place. Literally a treasure trove of screwdrivers and video games:)

The thing about the video game industry is that remakes really lower the value of older games, for obvious reasons. A perfect example of this is the black label version of Final Fantasy Tactics on the PS1. I had a copy and was thinking about selling it. Then Square decided to put out a remake and it just killed the value.

Suikoden 1 and 2 psx----i just love the entire series

Suikoden 3 ps2

tactics ogre psx

mario rpg snes

and a few others that i can't remember

Yeah, I actually think finding a grey cart that predates the controversy changes is harder than finding a gold cart. I'm not sure how quickly Nintendo changed the blood and all that supposed Islamic stuff, but I imagine it didn't take them long. I own a pre-edit grey cart btw.

Maybe Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet;I still have that cartridge somewhere at home.

Twisted Metal 2 on the PC. It was never advertised, so no one really knew about it.

tequilero

I have this one as well! Man, track was so sweet!

Probably Pokemon Blue :P. It has over 101 pokemon caught in it,and I'm working on the rest

PS1 - Valkyrie Profile + strategy guide - both in excellent condition Black Label FF VII + strategy guide - both in excellent condition original Castlevania SOTN I have a lot more, but I don't know how rare they are, maybe just a little hard to find.Born_Lucky

It's amazing how much money those strategy guides are worth. I had a FFVII strat guide, but I have no idea where it is. I have the Black Label versions of FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX though! I alsohave the FFIX strat guide.

I Own a Copy of Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES.

Bought it at a pawn shop for $7 bucks.

I would also have to say Silent Hill on the PS1. I have not seen a copy of it in years. I bought mine new for $20(the greatest hits copy) and now its for $60 and Up on Ebay. Crazy..

The rarest game I own is Metal Slug for the Neo Geo. And its worth a good bit too.

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne

Probably the original SimCity for PC (still have box, manual, etc), original Alpha Centauri for PC (also with box), and Ocarina of Time (pre-updated version). I don't really have any extremely rare games...

PS1: Legend Of Dragoon

GC: Resident Evil 2+ Nemisis (Still $35+ online last time I checked)

PS2: MGS3 I guess

GameBoy: Pokemon Red/Blue/Gold/Silver

The rarest game I own is Metal Slug for the Neo Geo. And its worth a good bit too.

Kage1

Do you have the NeoGeo system as well? Cause that would be sweet!

I don't know Conker's Bad Fur Day for the 64 or Ikaruga for the GC

I don't have any thing super rare but I have SMT Nocturne which is somewhat rare.
