Golden Sun, that game was really hard to find but sooooo worth it! No one had even heard of it in the shops?!
Games you've gone to a great extent to find.

OT: I have been searching for (Should I say had been searching) Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 on PS2 for about... 3 years. I couldn't find it anywhere until about 2 days ago when I was in EB Games by chance the other day looking through their sale items when I got talking to the sales attendant about some game or another. I asked him to have a quick look in the system for any traded in copies of Dark Alliance 1 or 2 then lo and behold. There was one in the State. About 30 mins drive away. I now own it
.I'm still looking for Dark Alliance 1 so anyone in WA, Aus that sees one and doesn't want it for them self feel free to PM me or contact me through my email or gamer tag. Both of which are on the profile.
EDIT: Oh yeah, Assassin's Creed 2 Black Edition. I know people who beat the game, on PC, before I got my Pre-Ordered copy. I didn't go to huge lengths.
I only drove for an hour to get to the shop to pre-order it then drove an hour home. Had to call the shop about 7 times and have my mum go in and cry to the manager literally to get him to post it to me on the other side of the country as I'd moved between pre-ordering it and release date. Also when I got my Collectors Edition of the game the box was broken. So I went around the city to about 12 shops looking for cancelled pre-orders to get my box swapped.
I also drove for 2 hours to get a pre owned copy of Oblivion GOTY.
I also spent about 3 hours total looking through the store inventories over the course of 4 weeks to get ahold of DA:O Collectors on 360 as the store I was working at (and almost every other store in the state) only had PS3 copies. I ended up finding one which was returned, still wrapped, as an unwanted gift.
erm beats and bumpkins exists. get it off abandonware or something if its thereLegend of J said:
i've looked for battlefield 2 for 1 year, and found it for 10 euro in a bargain bin at PC world.
You guys really need to check eBay. I can usually find any game I'm looking for on there. Provided you're careful you should be able to avoid all the illegal copies, and still find the game you want at a decent price.
I recently got Final Fantasy Origins, Anthology, IV, VII, VIII, IX, XII, Advent Children and the Advent Children OST on eBay for £95! That's ridiculously cheap

This thread is pure win, it just shows the love of game we all have that we go to such lengths to find them.
I have tried to limit myself to current generation titles as I don't have a working ps2 to go find all the metal gear games and what not. They are on my list though, maybe if they release a metal gear collection on the ps3 I will actually buy the system.
Currently the only game I have a hard time finding is Deadly Premonition, I search and asked and rang up every games store in the city and none of them had ever even heard of it or had it on their system. So online I check, turned out they aren't releasing it in Europe, what a kick in the crotch.
Grim Fandango is pretty hard to find too, I had to settle for a torrent, and I had never even heard of Shadow Of The Colossus until I came onto game forums and such, that's how 'rare' it is, I had never even seen it in the shops, even when it just came out.

Well, back when I was 11 or 12, I tried out Megaman ZX on DS. Over the next number of months I would search all the close game stores. I later remembered my brother said he'd take me out to buy a game or two for my birthday and I went out once again hoping to find it. We did 8D
Surprising, I couldn't find a copy of Singularity anywhere. I actually when to Myers with my mom and found one.
Also, I was ona scavenegr hunt for every single Trauma Center and Fatal Frame II. I found Trauma Center Under The Knife at a gamestop, then the second under the knife at another gamestop, same for second opinion. I had to order New Blood off of Amazon. Well worth it though. Haven't Found Fatal Frame.
Also I'm looking for every single Silent Hill. Only have Two and Homecoming. Hard to find the rest.
EDIT: Totally forgot. tried finding System Shock 2 and finally got a copy from my dads friend. Until i found out it didn't work on my computer. It froze after the tutorial. I cried.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect.
Played it at a friends house, shit myself at its awesomeness.
My local game stores, however, have barely any GameCube or XBox games left, and barely and Playstation 2 games.
Still a-looking.
