Name a console or a game you have that is rare
The special Gold Cartridge version of Zelda 64.
Basically the whole planet sold out of their first shipment of ALL copies of Ocarina, and I didn't have a preorder (this was before you could always expect the Best Buys and such to have the games if the pawn shops didn't). So I hit up every single game store in my area, one by one.
At the very last one in reasonable driving distance, I got in line at the counter. The guy in front - directly in front - of me was yelling at the clerk about not getting his free T-shirt, or one that was too small, or something, with his preorder...of the Gold Version of Zelda 64. After 5 heart-pounding minutes of listening to this increasingly ugly exchange, the guy decided to return the whole thing because of whatever was wrong with his stupid shirt. He left, and I hominaed for a second to make sure he was out of earshot, then I asked with a straight face if they had it. The clerk gave me an ironic smile and said they "just got one in," disentangled it from the crap the guy returned with the game, and sold it to me.
This was at the end of November, and I didn't see Zelda in stores again till February.
SNES plus games, aswell as "Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb" I'd say its pretty rare, for stores anyways, got it on Ebay :P
copy of test drive unlimited signed by the developers,as far as I know Its the only signed copy in the world
Seeing "rare" being used in the place of "old" by all but one of the above posters makes me sad.
I no longer have anything genuinely "rare". The closest things to being considering rarities in my possession at the moment would be a complete copy of Ogre Battle on SNES and a sealed copy of Suikoden II (which is more closely associated with being "in demand" rather than actually rare).
"Halo 3."
not even going to laugh

"DualReaver said:Dude it's in a tin can."Halo 3."

"Burger King games? I don't know if they count, I mean they don't make them any more."lol I remember this guy in front of me while I was waiting in line was can I have my games and the cashier gave him like 3 360 games and I thought to myself wtf Burger King sells games and then I found out they suck real bad.
I'm surprised no-one else had the Jaguar. : (
"halo 3 has sold something like 10 million copies...thats not rare"So I am one of the 10 million out of the 6 billion people on Earth to own a copy?
FUCK YEAH!

I've got several, old PC games complete with the box, the instructions, & original disks (or floppies). I'll take some snaps. The main thing is that it's very hard to find old games in pristine condition or even with all the parts. For instance, one hard one to find is Arcanum. I've got the original boxed set with everything in it. The only one they sell now is in some Xbox-like case from Australia.
I will gather some photos tonight & put in my mini-bio.
Well I guess the full list would be
a TV Jogo I, TV Jogo II and a TV Jogo III (all Pong home consoles manufactured by Philco)
a Dactar (a Brazilian clone of the Atari 2600)
A Brazilian white Saturn (I have a black one also, but that is not rare) and balck and grey steering wheels for it.
Virtua Figher Remix, Dynimite Deka (Die Hard Arcade) and Golden AxeThe Duel (all japanese cartridges for the Sega Titant ST-V, which I own).
a portable Genesis from AtGames (a chinese company that has the license of a bunch of old Sega stuff in China
an original Chinese Genesis 6-button controller in the original box
the arcade board of Virtua Fighter 3 (with the original manuals and the marquee of the 50 inch deluxe cabinet)
an original SFII World Warrior CPS-1 board
an autographed Collector's Edition of Lost Planet (autographed by the game's executive producer)
a sealed Titan A.E. demo disc for the PS1 (only 10.000 ever made and the final game never came out)
some japanese Saturn games
a Mega Rockman 2 cartridge with box and manuals (it was a clone of Mega Man 2 released for the Turbo Game, itself a NES clone)
For systems I'd say the only thing I have that is "rare" is a TurboGrafx 16.
