Rarest Game You Own?

What is the rarest game that you own? I can say that I own Elder Scrolls: Redguard and Yoshi's Island. You?

I have a 'like new' copy of Shadows of the Empire, but that can't be rare. I guess I don't have any rare games.

I don't think any of my games are especially rare. But I don't really keep track of rarity either.

I have no idea what's rare and what isn't.

Earthbound.

EDIT: Oh, Steel Battalion probably counts too.

In terms of value probably my ps3 copy of gal gun. It's not really rare but not many people have it in the west. I also have some other japanese games that were never released over here to help me learn some japanese.

Probably Tzar.

Suikoden 1 and Suikoden 2

Both quiet valuble these days. And still the best jrpgs ever made :)

I own a copy of all the other games in the series as well. But they arn't as rare.

Harvest Moon for the SNES maybe? Or Pocky and Rocky 2. Not quite sure how rare they actually are though.

Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, Wind Waker.

Kojima signed copy of MGS3 limited edition.
Shinkawa signed copy of the MGS HD (limited edition) collection. He even drew me a Raiden!
 
Besides that, probably Xenogears?

The Neverhood probably, I doubt it sold very well when it came out.

I also have Star Control for the Genesis, Sengoku for the Neo Geo and Military Madness for the TG16 which were probably all very low sellers when they came out.

I have Parasite Eve 2, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Heart of Darkness, Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Type 4, Castlevania : Lament of Innocence, Castlevania : Circle of the Moon, Puzzle Quest, Half-Life for the PS2, and Wipeout Fusion.

Final Fantasy VII black-disc for PS1

Also have a sealed PC version of VII, never opened it because the PC version is pretty bad(and piracy)

I guess my PS1 copy of Suikoden II is probably the rarest game I own.

Probably my boxed Command & Conquer: Worldwide Warfare, which has the original Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert games as well as the expansions.

A sealed, unopened copy of Super Mario All-Stars.

Since the majority of my games are digital downloads, I'm going to go with "no."

I guess the more relevant question is value.... I'm sure I have some old NES games in the closet that have fewer remaining copies than some of these, but not that many people actually want them. Anyways:

Panzer Dragoon Saga

Dragon Force

Digital Devil Saga Box Set

Suikoden I / II

Valkyrie Profile

Xenogears

.....

And other miscellaneous RPGs. Lots of PS1s. But no Toomba or Toomba 2. They've eluded my grasp thus far.

I guess Valkyria Chronicles? That game apparently didn't sell well, and it took me a while to find a store that still had it when I bought it a few years ago. But I don't think it is that rare..

I'm not sure off the top of my head. It would likely come down to either one of the Zelda collections on the GameCube, or my black label copy of Castlevania: SotN, none of which I believe to be really rare. There's a slim chance I could have a rare NES game and I just don't know about it since I have a shit-ton of those.

Considering my collection is mainly newish AAA titles, my rarest game is likely Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition.

Maybe Daley Thompson's Decathlon for the PC, boxed copy. Probably worth nothing. It's kind of shitty.

I've been tidying up in order to move some furniture out & get a couch in my room & I just came across my old copy of Republic The Revolution, which I can't believe many folk still have. Other than that? God, I'm not sure.

No, definitely not rare.

Sentient for PS1 or Miami Vice for PS2 ?

Hey, I also own a copy of Redguard. Bought it for the pocket guide to the empire, the game itself doesn´t really run on modern systems.

As for "rare" games? I don´t know, maybe a Japanese copy of Turtles 2 for the Gameboy?

I have a boxed copies of Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario and The Legend of Zelda, if they count. Oh, and a complete in box Donkey Kong Game n Watch.

Probably Tales of Destiny.

No, definitely not rare.

It was for a time though. I had a surprising amount of trouble finding it.

@nintendoeats: That's too bad. It's a really great game. I guess I'm not too surprised that it didn't do well. I wonder if the popularity of XCOM: Enemy Unknown resulted in a renewed interest in it. It's not like there are dozens of turn-based tactics games available for the PS3.

I don't know about rare, rare is hard to judge.

In terms of value; has to be my complete boxed copy of Chrono Trigger, map and all. I think that goes for about 130-140 on eBay. I have Final Fantasy 3 with a beat up manual, but I lost the fucking box a decade ago. Super Mario RPG which is about a 70-100 dollar game. After that, most of my stuff is in the 30-40 maybe 50 dollar range. I have all the Shin Megani Tensei PS2 stuff, a lot of them sealed (I found a sealed copy of Nocturne the other day). I have Shadowrun for the SNES which goes for about 40 bucks usually, I got it for 30.

My roommate used to own Earthbound, Valkyrie Profile for the PS1, and Ogre Battle 64. Now he's lost almost all of them in his dad's attic save Ogre Battle 64. What an IDIOT.

I see your copy of the Neverhood, and raise you a PSX copy of Skullmonkeys. I friggin love this game.

I have to imagine at least one of my Sega Cd games is rare.

But I know for sure my Sega CDX isn't exactly a common piece of hardware. Pretty great condition too, considering I've had it almost 20 years.

Probably Harvest moon 64. Especially so because i'm European.

maybe Kings Field?

metabots metabee version for gba maybe? i dunno

Earth & Beyond is pretty rare I guess. It was a fun mmo set in space and the most notable thing about it, from what I remember, is you could go between space and planets in your ship. I don't think you could fly between them but you could definitely fly around on planets. For an mmo in like 2002 it was pretty flippin' great.

Sorry for an additional post, mobile site, but I do have a complete copy of Snatcher for Sega CD. I caught the seller napping, only cost me 10 quid.

I have a sealed copy of ocean commander for the PS2, it's a terrible game and probably not valuable because of it. but it's fairly hard to find.

Yeah if someone tells me what games are rare then I can say if I own any of them, but like, how are we supposed to know?

Also

This.

My copy of Earthbound has to be the rarest game I own.

I have a Japanese, unopened copy of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. Given that the game goes for 70 bucks on Amazon, it's probably pretty rare?

A friend gave it to me after he lost his DS and didn't want to buy a new one. He speaks Japanese, I don't, hence the reason it's still unopened. I also can't be arsed to sell it.

As for older games, I don't have any.

It's probably not rare, but I put forth my copy of Mega Man Xtreme 2 for GBC. Other than that, Hellbender?

Persona 1 and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on PS1. MvC2 on Dreamcast and Ps2. MGS3: Subsistence with all the DVDs and extras for pre-ordering. Ico sealed copy.

Manu & Matti: Suuri Aarteenmetsästys. It's a point and click adventure game for Finnish children from the 90's. I bet there are not many copies of this game left in the world.

I've got a game made for German distribution jammed with naked ladies showing everything for every screen (or bonus game) you clear, licensed and based on an Activision puzzle game but that's an arcade PCB and that's like cheating.

I have a copy of Earthbound. The Box and the Game and The Guide. That is about the rarest I have.

The more you know, when I bought it I couldn't find a copy anywhere.

I guess my copy of Strange Journey is sort of rare over here in Europe, but I can't say I own anything legitimately rare.
