Couple of various Video Game Questions...

Hey everyone, just tickled my fancy...
What is, the rarest game ever?
The best selling game ever? (i hear the best selling 16-bit game is Sonic 2)
The one game on the most systems? (i still think its SamSho1)
Longest game to complete? (rpg wise, maybe)
thanks guys, like i said, just curious!

1. Marble Madness 2, only 3 prototypes made, and no rom dumps.
2. Its hard to keep track, the only figures out there are from marketing hype.
3. Commercially released? I would say Space Invaders. Its got ports from the Atari 2600 to the PS2.
4. Some games are infinate, so its hard to tell.

i think Myst might have been the best selling game ever.. maybe it was just best selling PC game though. i remember mario 3 also sold an obscene number of copies, i guess it depends on who you ask.

are you sure there's more Space Invaders ports than Street fighter (or tetris maybe) ports?

rare games - ok, marble madness 2 (marble man) is pretty damn rare but there must be a couple similar (proto's that never saw the light of day) - how about commercially released games though? I know thos porno NES pirate games are pretty damned rare, also "Sapphire" for PC-Engine had a tiny print run (400 copies or something?) Likewise there's also a very rare Darius game for PCE, and a Fantasy Zone game that I am not sure ever came out either..

interesting stuff..

YES? Space Invaders or maybe Asteroids (or whatever the original title was) is probably the most ported games ever. I can't believe Street fighter is even mentioned..
