What is the rarest game you own in your collection?

I own the 2000 Metal Gear Solid for Game Boy Color. I got it last year, but haven't played it yet. I think it's a cool thing to have from my favorite series. Apparently, it had a very limited print run. It's worth about $100 or so. What about you, SW? What is the rarest game you own in your collection?

Demon's Souls Black Phantom Edition, probably

At least in my country it was a rare thing to see

I also have The Silent Hill collection (the PS2 one, wich includes SH2,3 and 4, not the crappy HD collection) and ICO PS2

I mean, this one

My friend owns a copy of Rule of Rose, one of the rarest games

Sweet Home maybe? Is it rare? Before Resident Evil there was Sweet Home. I love this game and the movie too.

I'm pretty sure it's Panzer Dragoon Saga, though every time I check, a lot of my older games seem to be annually skyrocketing in price.

Don't think it's that rare or worth anything but I own a copy of ps1 help charity compilation. It came out in the uk and consisted of 3 games road rash, myst and broken sword.

IDK.

Maybe my sealed Greatest hits of FF8 and FF9, but I'd probably get more for my Fatal Frame 1-3 on PS2, or my Mary Kate and Ashely Gamecube games.

Actually, I did just fine some PS2 Spongebob games for $2-$4 each, I'm sure they are worth something.

Probably one of my tiny Kickstarter games - I'm sure I have a few that were only purchased by a couple of hundred people.

Final Fantasy 1 NES cartridge.

Samurai Showdown Anthology for PS2

Rival Schools for PS1

JoJo Bizarre Adventure for PS1

I don't really collect games for collection sake - but by luck / determination to own and play I've wound up with a few games that are either either rare-ish or at least oddly expensive for their age

Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis)

Landstalker (Genesis)

Shadowrun (Genesis)

Diablo (PS1)

Intelligent Qube (PS1)

Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast)

Shenmue (Dreamcast)

Star Wars (Game Gear)

Star Wars Return of the Jedi (Game Gear)

Paperboy 2 (Game Gear)

etc

To be honest I'm not really sure why some of these are worth a lot when they aren't necessarily rare, but I own them to play them. I'm not sure how scarce some are vs just being expensive because of fans

Unfortunately I never started maintaining a game collection until PS3/360/Wii era. The “rarest” game in my collection might be the Metroid Prime Trilogy that came out for the Wii in a steel bookcase.

I have absolutely no idea but I do have games going all the way back to the 80's in my loft and a couple of consoles from the 70's

Only 5000 copies printed, had to pre-order online through Gamestop/EB Games to get it. I wish I had ordered 5-10 more copies, they went up over 500% in value (they went as high as $400 USD at one point for factory sealed copies, and cost $44.99 USD IIRC).

I dunno...

I have lots of PS1 RPGs in pretty good condition. Some of these are possibly rare.

• Lunar SSS Collectors Edition
• Lunar 2 EB Collectors Edition
• Tales of Destiny
• Vanguard Bandits
• Alundra

Probably:

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

Fire Emblem Path of Radiance

@foxhound_fox: I almost got a used copy during Black Friday at a local game shop but the guy in front of me took it :(

Original box and all three discs? I'm guessing it was undervalued?

HNNNNG...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/VGA-9-0-Metal-Gear-Solid-Subsistence-Limited-Edition-PlayStation-2-Sealed-New/302605234570?hash=item4674ad718a:g:iEoAAOSww85aXnoT:rk:14:pf:0

Like, I loved the game, played a lot of it, but that hurts. That's almost 1000% increase in value.

I have The Witcher 2 Collector's edition still shrinkwrapped. Also, Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty Collector's edition shrinkwrapped. I also have a collector's tin of the original Prey game, but I'm not sure if it's rare or not.

@foxhound_fox: unfortunately I didn't get to see the price, but the store had it for 33% off. I assumed it had everything. Damn that new one is expensive. How is yours holding up?

Been in storage for ages. I put probably around 100-125 hours into the main game disc, and a little into online. Watched the Saga disc once and the original box was still in good shape last I saw of it.

Not sure values or if actually rare, but Ive hardly ever seen these games in stores:

PS2- Shadow Hearts trilogy, all seven Shin Megami Tensei games (Persona, Digital Devil Saga, etc), Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, Gradius 3 & 4, Gradius 5

PS3- Spyro Dawn of the Dragon, Persona 5

DS- Big Bang Mini, Sola to Robo

Wii- Super Mario All Stars, Godzilla Unleashed

360- MagnaCarta 2

The for sure rarest item I own is the original Okami e-Capcom Amaterasu plush.

A sealed copy of God Hand, I guess

@foxhound_fox: I also have the Limited Edition MGS3.

It sits on my shelf.

Probably my boxed copy of Divinity: Original Sin Collector's Edition, non-Kickstarter edition. Only 1500 were made.

What happened was I backed the game when it was revealed, but then I wanted the collector's edition but without the ugly green Kickstarter logo on the boxart.

Anyway, while I got it for MSRP, the hassle of getting it separately was kinda for nothing as the green Kickstarter logo on the KS edition as it was first revealed was replaced with plain white text saying "Kickstarter Collector's Edition". Mine just says "Collector's Edition". Only 3000 total collector's eds of DOS were made, half being for KS backers, so the KS and regular eds are of equal rarity.

Nothing. Bro had an unopened FF7 about 6-7 years ago, but that was probably the rarest thing. Demand obviously plummeted after the game became readily available. I think my local store was buying it around at least a few hundred at the time.

Super paper mario 64 with the original box and book.

Every suikoden game on ps1 in mint condition

Legend of dragoon

Gamecube Ocarina of Time with Master Quest, Tatsunoko vs Capcom (unopened), Xenoblade Chronicles (unopened), Metroid Prime Trilogy, Gamecube Ikaruga, Octopath Traveler Wayfarer's Edition (unopened)

The closest game I own that's kinda.. rare would be would be Silent Hill Shattered Memories PS2 version that came out in 2010.

Yoshi Wooly World w/stuffed animal Yoshi.

I've sold most of these now. SVC Chaos went for $500 alone.

I dunno, maybe bomberman: the second attack

@Sam3231:

GOOD GAME!!!

Outside of a few gameboy and ps1 games my collection is PS2 and later...

I think Zone of the Enders 2 may be one of the rarest ones I've got, it was not readily available in 2007 when I bought it - imagine it's even rarer now.

@ridgett_b: I know, one of my favorite n64 games.

Super Action Baseball and Football...

.. with controllers. :P

I did have Panzer Dragoon Saga when it was released, I traded it in becsuse I didnt like the game.

I didn't know :(

I have a lot of rare games (including an almost complete set of Game Gear games). No idea which one of them is the rarest.

Anything Sega Saturn is going through the roof right now.

I have Chrono Trigger Factory Sealed, Ocarina of Time factory sealed (collectors edition gold cart), a sealed Master edition of breath of the wild.

Chrono is around 3k.

My favorite though is my factory sealed Superman 64 and sealed E.T. for 2600.

I also have copy of every core Mario game except Mario 1 factory sealed (been working on getting it). All Fire Emblems US releases sealed. I'd have to look to see whats worth what now.

I don't know if it's the rarest, but definitely the most expensive game for me to acquire was Sunset Riders for the SNES. I had to pay about $300 for it so it's supply in comparison to it's demand must be pretty low

A lot of the expensive/rare games aren't the big players. Random stuff like ducktales 2.

Quite a lot; the ones I can think of now:

Tombi 1, 2, Suikoden II, Skies or arcadia gc sealed, kula world, vip ribbon, mega man 2, zelda 1,...

suikoden 2 dropped a bit because of the psn released. Arcadia sealed is pretty bad ass.

Probably Lost World Jurassic Park on Sega Game Gear. Maybe Trapt on PS2. Not sure.

Was Chrono Trigger DS... but needed money so I sold it for £43.

Right now my rarest games would be:

The Last Story, Xenoblade, Final Fantasy Origins, Pokemon Red, Golden Sun GBA

Probably one of my more obscure dreamcast games like Record of Lodoss War.

One of the biggest regrets of my gaming life was allowing myself to be bullied into selling my sega megadrive, I would have owned a few games here not many owned any more.

I have Akumago Dracula X(Sega Saturn version)

The gold version of Ocarina of Time

And of course Life of Black Tiger.

M.U.S.H.A. - Shmup for the Sega Genesis, not sure how much this game is going for but according to MetalJesusRocks (YouTuber) it's a LOT

EINHANDER - Shmup for PS1 and one of the most sought after, according the same guy MJR, it's also worth a lot.

MARS MATRIX - Shmup for Sega Dreamcast, another rare, underrated game, but not sure about the price, most likely too much

IKARUGA - Shmup for the Dreamcast/Gamecube (I got both thank God). It's now available for the Xbox 360/One/other platforms digitally, but the Physical copies for both are astronomical, especially the DC version.
