One of the rarest game I have is Bloodshot: Battle Frenzy for Mega CD original. I've paid 9 EUROS for it (!!!!), and it's very very rare to find.

I sold the English PAL Starwing SNES competition cart a few months back for 80 quid. I paid 4 quid for it.

There's about 4 copies. I found one in GameStation. Go figure.

There are plenty of games that were never officially released that could be considered rare, so this is a very difficult question to answer definitively. In fact, we've probably never even heard of the rarest game!

Also, some games are over valued because they're considered 'l@@k exxxxxtra RARE!!!!1' by Ebayers when they're really not all that rare. Panzer Dragoon Saga for instance.

ALOT of AES carts are rare

most of the time the game is produced for MVS, then they just knock off a few hundered carts and seel em for $300

Radiant Silvergun on sega ST-V arcade system is another one that is considered R@RE when it is just the fact that collectors like to hold onto it because it si a good game.

I have original Great Giana Sisters C-64 version - which i purposly kept when selling my c64 all those years back, you never know it could be worth 1000's one day

​

Woohoo, that's awsome, that game kicks a whole lot of ass lol. I have the catridge, and am looking for a fully boxed one

 

[El_Diablo]

God, since I'm so poor most of my "collectable" games are from charity shops not ebaying like all those crazy people with more money than sense

I have no idea if any of my stuff is rare...

I have a NES advantage in box with manual...
and Double Dragon 1 fully boxed with plastic case thing and manual if I were to take a guess I would assume they are the most collectable things I own...

Darius Alpha for the PC-Engine. About 800 copies were made, and to get one you had to be in Japan and buy Super Darius (for PC-Engine CD) and Darius Gaiden (for the PC-Engine SuperGrafx) together, send in a competition entry, and be one of the people they pulled out of the hat.

Contrary to popular belief, Dracula X isn't actually that rare... pop on ebay and you'll always see a few up for sale. Galaxy Maiden Sapphire, on the other hand, is 'quite' rare... but it's so expensive that there are quite a number of forgeries floating around ($400 for a CD based game???).

There are a few websites around that attempt to rate the 'rarity' of various games on different consoles... most are actually far more common than most of us would imagine .... 'rarity' and how 'sought after' a games is are two seperate factors and should not be confused

unfortunately, both factors push up a games percieved value (drat!)
