I had this idea while I was sorting through my boxes of old video games. Basically, the idea is to see what sort of rare, crazy and unique video game treasures are hiding among the Giant Bomb community. To play, all you have to do is show a picture of a game that you think no other user has. If you see a picture of a game that you have, reply saying that you have it too and show a picture to prove it. The goal here is to find the most unique relics. I'll start. I've got the PAL version of Shenmue II. Beat that!

Rez Trance Vibrator. That or the Arcade Aid poster currently hanging on my wall.
 
Can't be bothered to take photos, take my word for it. I do have these treasures!
 
Edit - I can be bothered, it seems.

Ah, the cousin.  Where every foolish gamer sends their old games without a thought, only to regret it because it is gone forever. 
 
This is how I lost Raiden Project.  Maybe not a treasure, but I friggin loved that game.

Some SNES games, some N64 games, Splatterhouse 3 and Madden i think 95 for Genesis, and some Dreamcast games, even Marvel vs Capcom 2 that was going for a decent price till Xbox Live put it up there...  I also picked up that "Limited" Super Mario Allstars 25th annivasary package since it looked like it was going to be rare to get, but now I see them everywhere!!!  Limited my Ass.

Not my picture, but I do have this package. A special edition of Sonic Adventure 2 sold for only two days in Japan to celebrate Sonic's 10th anniversary. Came with a soundtrack CD, art booklet, and special coin.

I have that above Sonic Adventure 2 pack. It's gathering dust. This must mean I hate Sonic... or what he's become.

Viper Phase-1 New Version, safe to say nobody else here owns it (userpic).
 
If I had not sold everything else of my arcade collection (decided to keep the only game I liked), I would have shown you several arcade game PCBs not in MAME, many of them not even dumped. The very definition of treasure.
 
Got the ROM board of Raiden Fighters 1 (see Raiden Fighters Aces on the 360 for that one) next to me, sending it off in the mail next week because it doesn't compare to the fun of VP1 ¨<

I doubt it. Dynamite Heady for Sega Megadrive. Wacky Races fro Dreamcast. These are not rare at all, I just doubt many people have them.

I sold all my N4 games to a friend, incl. expansion pack. 
 
The gold version of Majora's Mask was the most prized, but it's still a pisser that I don't have any of them now.
 
As for gems that I currently own: SotC - artwork edition and MGS3: Subsistence are both pretty sick. The latter usually goes for over 100 bucks these days. Not that they are crazy rare or anything.

I don't feel like hunting around the house for batteries to put in my camera, but the most "rare" games I have on my shelf would probably be: Freelancer, A sexy Big box copy of Baldur's Gate Gate II with the old sexy manual and everything, and a copy of Paraworld.   
 
Ok I got motivated when I realized I might as well do it now, since the old photo I have is kind of out dated. This is pretty much my video game shrine.

A family that lived in my neighborhood was having a garage sale because they were moving to Japan. They were selling some old gaming stuff including Japanese N64 and GameBoy games... I had never seen any Japanese games in person before so I thought it was pretty cool. I ended up buying a lot of stuff from them because they were selling the games for ridiculously cheap prices. Here's what I ended up getting...
 
Pokemon Yellow - $3
Mario Kart 64 - $5
Super Smash Bros. - $5
DDR Disney's Dancing Museum (w/ dance pad) - $15
Mario Tennis - $5
Mario Party - $5
 
I no longer have Pokemon Yellow, Mario Kart 64, or DDR Disney's Dancing Museum because I sold them.
 
My main reason for this post is because the DDR game is the only N64 DDR game and it was only released in Japan. Even a simple Google search won't give you many results for the game, so it's pretty rare (at least to my knowledge it is).

 Wish I had a better picture of this, unfortunately my good camera has suddenly decided to stop working. So you get a craptastic phone pic instead.
 
I own TONS of cool stuff. This is something I'm proud of, though. I own eight copies of Lunar: The Silver Star for Sega CD. I custom framed them all with a copy of the instruction manual in the middle and hung it on my wall.
 
If you're not sure why anyone would own eight copies of a single game, the website below actually details the history of Victor Ireland's insane collector's mentality in the golden age of Working Designs' tenure.  Of note in the link, I also own all the Dragon Force variants, all of the Alundra variants, and all of the Magic Knight Rayearth variants. And that doesn't even scratch the surface of my collection... but that's a story for a different thread. :)
 
I'll also try to get a better photo.

I used to own the fairly rare Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions, though I lost it through time =(. Fucking loved that as well. Had a great assortment of weird VR missions, including ones where you had to solve murder mysteries, and even assassinate Snake while playing as Gray Fox. 
 
..And now I'm reminding myself as to why I miss it so much in the first place ='(

Castlevania SOTN with art book and music CD.  Mint, and I will sell it when I can be bothered.  A Link to the Past and Super Mario Kart are about the only things I wouldn't sell from my stupid stack of Snes stuff.  I got rid of the Donkey Kong games including big boxed #2 with guide.  Wish I hadn't hoarded and sold when prices would have been good to be honest.

Uh...I've got some old NES and SNES stuff, but not anything especially rare or special.... 
 
I've got one of those Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controllers, but again, those aren't the rarest of items. Still pretty cool looking though.

My favorite stuff are my original copies of Final Fantasy Tactics (original run, pre-greatest hits), and Suikoden I and Suikoden II.    Suikoden II is apparently the most rare of the 3 and I have to say that game is amazing for anyone who hasn't played it yet.

My most prized video game treasure is my copy of Secret of Mana for the SNES. It was probably my favourite game growing up and is still something I find my self going back to every 2-3 years.  That reminds me actually, I'm due for a playthrough this summer :)

My favorites are my collection of longbox PS1 games, black box NES launch titles in box, Mother 3 for GBA complete, and complete versions of Final Fantasy 6 and Secret of Mana (or Seiken Densetsu 2 since that's what's on the box ) For Super Famicom.

I've got a working NES with the orange zapper. Not a big deal but pretty cool to me. 
Also, I have a original red Gameboy (the big brick one), and a special edition red Mario Kart fat DS. 
Most prized I'd say would be my Jack Frost plush, or my complete Phoenix Wright DS collection, which are bitches to find now, imagine 10 years from now.

I've got the PAL versions of, "Cel Damage Overdrive", "The Hobbit" and "Metal Arms:Glitch in the system". They were all unasked for and Hobbit turned out pretty shit. Though I have pretty fond memories of the other two. Can't be arsed to take a pic.

Funny, my friend at work was talking about this the other day, and he was shocked when I told him I still had one in my closet somewhere. I dug it out, slapped a new battery in it, and it's good as new. I'm going to wear it to work tomorrow.

I've got the original PC version of king's bounty somewhere in a box in the attic.  Don't really want to dig around for it though, so if you don't believe me that's fine.
 
It was the official first game I ever played. And it was a blast. 
 
...gosh, now I DO want to dig it up.

I have a random plastic bag somewhere with the floppy disks of the original DOS version of Sid Meyer's Colonization, which I randomly bought at the thrift store for a dollar. Yeah, it's no signed collector's edition or super rare Saturn game, but I'll take what I can get.
 
EDIT: Oh snap! I also totally have Tie Fighter in its original box with all the floppies (missing the manual though). Once again, not entirely sure how I managed to obtain it so well preserved.

Something, always better than nothing. I actually have the GIGANTIC box of No One Lives Forever for PC. I'm gonna see if I can't dig the photo of that up and post it here.

There it is. I actually forgot how overshadowed that thing became once I bought the Lucasarts Archive. Holy shit, that box is ginormous.

They reprinted those, but it's still just a limited, and this time final, run. Thank god, I missed it the first time, I managed to get it this time around.
