What are your rarest/most expensive games?

[Blast Hardbody]

I have a whole bunch of harder to find SNES stuff, but I think my most interesting things are not SNES related, go figure.

I have a PAL CIB Mega Man 5 for the NES which can be a bugger to find complete.

I also have a PAL Galaxian 3 for the PS1, which can actually be pretty tough to track down.

A whole bunch of CIB Hong Kong NES games, Zelda, Donkey Kong Jr Math etc, got those with a boxed Hong Kong NES console bundle a whiles back.

My Starcraft 64, Kirby 64 (AUS), Snowboard Kids 2, Keny Griffy Jr Baseball and Shadowgate 64 are all quite hard to track down, especially if you don't live in Australia

the rarest game i own is a not for sale copy of high seize for n-gage

[richard83]

Probably a CIB USA Mario Tennis for the Virtual boy or a CIB Airboarders 64.

[BobCrapper]

Castlevania : Vampires Kiss on SNES, bought for £1 at boot fair 4 or 5 years ago, all complete, box a little squished though

[devilhunter]

Without doubt my rarest game is Mine Storm 2 on the Vectrex. I was told once that less than 10 are known to exist but all i know is in 25 years of gaming and collecting, mine is the only one I have ever seen although there are pics on the net.

As for value i dont know but it would take a substantial offer for me to consider selling but in all honesty, i doubt i will sell it.

[UltraMagnus]

Well I now own a CIB NES UK pal Miracle Piano.

Everything present including the manuals, Cartridge, pedal, miracle connector.

Box is really tatty at one end and the polystyrene insert has a little snapped of at one end.

I am not really a NES collector so am about to list it on Ebay. Give me a shout if anyone is interested in it.

I have Minestorm II here... I've seen a few sold over the years, but yeah, it's not that easy to come by. Current value is probably around the 100 quid mark.

[JoeTheUseless]

Mine is Mario Party 3 on the N64 and Paper mario for the N64 boxed in mint condition they sell from £70 - 100 in that condition for the megadrive i would say Ecco Jr and Mega games 6 volume 2

[k1ngarth3r]

Mines now A brand new copy of Smurfs 2 for the Master System

[maD_mAN1983]

my most expensive will arrive soon, Mario Party 6 in the big box, looked like good condition on the pictures, but will have to see when it arrives, still sticker seald too i believe not that rare or expensive compared to what many others here have

[jon55mcc]

My most expensive would be any of these PAL games -

UKV Shadowgate 64 CIB
Aidyn Chronicles CIB
Snowboard Kids 2 CIB
Ken Griffey Jr CIB
HSV Adventure Racing CIB

Or even... Mario no Photopi NTSC CIB

But I'd gladly swap them all for a box of Starcraft 64 PAL. It is literally the last thing on my list to get, and I can't find it anywhere.
Truly is my Eleanor...

[MrRange]

Mine is now probably my Japanese Metal Slug 4 on the AES. I think it usually goes for £250-£300.

[Cauterize]

I'd love a Metal Slug title on the AES

My rarest titles are probably the very obscure Amiga CD32 rarities like the Oscar solo disc (not bundled with Diggers) or The Final Gate. These put SNES and Mega Drive rarities to shame, but as there is no demand for them they seem worthless in comparision Took forever to locate them!

[Shadowman]

My rarest games are probably the obscure Chinese Megaman PC releases - stuff like Megaman X Math Tornado and Megaman IQ Challenge. While they weren't the most expensive they were really hard to find, mostly getting lucky when one pops up on eBay. I'm still trying to track down the original big box version of Math Tornado (I've got the smaller boxed re-release).

[Liamh1982]

I can't compete with most of this.
The game I'd probably get most for is a loose Conker's Bad Fur Day which usually goes for £30-40.

[BuckoA51]

Panorama Cotton plus tea cup on the Megadrive I think is still my rarest.

[Pondis]

Mine is now easily my NTSC Skies of Arcadia Legends.

I need a freeloader to play it, but its still Skies

[Bambi]

Not rare by any means but this is the game I've spent the most on owning.

[tux]

Hagane pal snes boxed
Blackhawk pal snes boxed
Mega Turrican Mega drive boxed
physco killer CDTV boxed
Top gear 2 CD 32 boxed

Im very new to this "rare" talk so please forgive me if any of those are not considered rare. the inclusion of the commodore software is a guess just due to the consoles being obscure....

[Importaku]

Have quite a few games in the collection that are considered rare, here's just a few of them. A mix of rare and/or expensive.



Starting from top left...

Wonder kitchen: A cooking game given away by Ajinomoto to people who sent in the coupons of mayo bottle labels.
Bangaio: A more well known game that seems to go for weirdly high prices even though it's not hard to find.
Bomberman 64: Not the same game as bomberman 64 that the west got, this is a totally different game. It was the last Jpn N64 release so pretty rare nowdays to find.
Zelda collection: Same as the western zelda collection except the manual is in full colour, was released in smaller amounts compare to it's western twin due to it been up on the club nintendo goods page for only a short amount of time.
Coropata: Yup not remotely retro but really hard to get for a sane price as it had a tiny single print run so the prices are a bit mental for it at the moment.
Togepi's adventure: Probably my rarest game, pokemon mini games are pretty hard to find but this one is the hardest out of all. It's seriously rare, i have yet to meet another collector who even has a copy theres not that many about at all.
