Rare games you have lying around

[Legion]

Rarest game I have lying around is a mint big boxed copy of System Shock 2. Doubt it goes for much though these days!

Still haven't played that game *hint hint*.

As much as I would like to...I'm keeping it for my gaming bucket list, yes you read that right I have a list of games to replay before I die.

If only Steam had it... *sighs*

Sonic Adventure Special Edition for the Dreamcast. Still in the plastic. Got it from a friend and just never got around to opening it.

 

[The Lawn]

The rarest things I think I have are the Gameboy Printer and Gameboy Camera along with a clear Gameboy Classic.

 

[xbeaker]

Oh, I also have a Sega Nomad (portable Genesis). Most people don't even know they existed.

 

[mfischetti]

I have a copy of Suikoden 2 for the PS1 laying around, I think they were going for almost 100 bucks or more these days

 

[Iffypop]

Elite. Floppy disks + Manual, no box anymore sadly (it disintegrated).

 

[elilupe]

I have Wargames Defcon 1 for PS. Im not sure if thats very collectible though

 

[fanklok]

I have Suikoden 1-5? Chrono Trigger? Einhander? Erghiez? Uhh... the collector's edition of MGS3: Subsistance NISB? Sealed Jet Grind Radio for dreamcast?

I have a copy of the obscure N64 game "Rocket: Robot on Wheels" as well as the original Paper Mario cartridge.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Persona 3 and 4, Shadow Of the colossus and Silent Hill 2 and 3 are probably the rarest games I own, although Shadow hearts is heard to get hold of and I've got Final Fantasy VI lying around somewhere.

*checks ebay* well, apparently if I sold all those I'd get about £150. Not too bad.

 

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

o, i have a copy of roland in the caves with a fully functional 80's computer worth about 400 bucks

 

[Brandon James]

resident evil direters cut on ps1 the organal final fatasy 7 (not the greatest hits one) and final fantasy on nes just to name some

I have a few rare PS1 and PS2 games, but untimately, I haven't been collecting long enough to have a big-bucks game. I have an Atlus game, those are always going to be rare, and I have a few jap-to-US games that sell pretty high here because of how they were marketed (Bundle packs). But honestly, I don't see why a game needs to be rare. Atlus ALWAYS makes their games limited thanks to their marketing campaign and releasing as few in the series as possible, but a game is simply data encoded on a disc. You would figure that the game companies would release a great number of a game and make more money.

AND I CAN'T FIND ICO ANYWHERE FOR A GOOD PRICE! DARN YOU RARE RELEASES!

you know what sucks. I stopped playing video games for about a 5 or 6 year period, (2004ish-last year) but one of the last games I bought prior to my sabbatical was a copy of ICO off of ebay for 10 dollars.

I no longer know where it is... I guarantee it's still at my mom's house somewhere.

 

[Ophiuchus]

Huh, is ICO pretty rare these days then? I still have a copy, in great condition, complete with the art postcards that came with it.

Might have to see how much they're going for on eBay... (EDIT: okay, not much. I'll keep hold of it then.)

Same with Shadow of the Colossus, looked around for half a year before I finally found it.

Really, when I heard about how much everyone loved it I went down to my local Gamestop scanned the rows of games till I found S and bout it for $15, and I'm pretty sure they still have a few copies in there too.

Lucky you don't live in the Netherlands. So many beautiful games released in such small numbers or not at all. I've found SotC a couple of times since, but it was usually British import (and stupidly expensive).

 

[Sosa Star]

Nocturne would have to be the rarest game I have, that or Ar Tonelico. I spent months search for Nocturne and finally found my copy in some little hole in the wall game store, used for 20 bucks.

 

[Twin Of Aphex]

I have my sisters Sinclair ZX spectrum under my bed, and in pretty good condition
