[mhitman]

magi nation, i loved that game but i never met another soul that played it

 

[Teh Ty]

Team buddies, for PS1.
That game was win, and was rated E, even though there was violence and swears.
Amazing game, one of my favorite games.

 

[ghosthopkinson]

[AlphaOmega]

Vieuwtifull Joe is the rarest I have, because its was well. rare back in the day.

 

[Chicago Ted]

A copy of Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. That's my Rarest game.

 

[new_age_reject]

I used to have a PAL copy of Legend of Dragoon, then I lent it to a mate and he sold it. ;_;

 

[ghosthopkinson]

i had a copy of Commander Keen "Keen Dreams" and Battle Toads for NES/SNES

don't know weather battle toads is rare but i did and sold it to cash converters "damn"

oooh i also owned a copy of Rainbow 6 Covert Ops, that was banned here in Aus but it brokked

 

[internutt]

Panzer Dragoon Saga.

 

[DrDeath3191]

Ico.
Yeah, I'm not into collecting 'rare' games. But Ico was a ************ to find.

I played (and won) the original Sim back in the MS DOS days, which wasn't hard. I just kept spending most of my money buying lottery tickets until I won it about three times.

I also have Private Eye, which is based on a detective novel I enjoy. I haven't yet seen/met anyone who has it... probably because not many people go out of their way to buy a game from 1997.

 

[Carlston]

Atari have Texas chainsaw, Porkies, Chuck Norris Superkicks,

Nes I have the original Zelda 1 and 2 with the moronic hold in the reset button warning that never has a real purpose...

 

[Valiance]

ive never seen another copy of metalfetige and total anilation

I don't think Total Annihilation is that rare, but
Metal Fatigue is a game I've only seen once - and it wasn't me having it.

I also forgot to mention I have system shock 1 and 2 in my previous post.

 

[Ima Lemming]

and i have a FF7crisis core psp only like 77,777 produced i believe

That was just a particular, Japan-only edition of Crisis Core. The standard edition is still sold new, and last time I was at Best Buy it was down to $20 even.

My rarest games are Radiant Silvergun and Panzer Dragoon Saga, both for Saturn, the former import and the latter domestic. I own quite a few uncommon games (maybe even a few rare ones I don't know the value of), including Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PS2, Valkyrie Profile for the PS1, and The Neverhood and Planescape Torment for PC.

 

[Zivlok]

I own the original CD for a MECC game. Given that MECC has been bankrupt for a decade, and while their games are widespread to this day in classrooms, but mostly by floppy disk abuse, I'd say that's pretty rare.

Oh, and I have Clubhouse Games DS which was pretty rare (pushing $50 used on Amazon) until they rereleased it.

Oh, and the original Jump Start games, which are pretty rare seeing as they've changed every bloody one a billion times over.

 

[WorldCritic]

It would be kind of cool if someone here said they had Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Saturn. Only around 20,000 copies of the game were ever shipped to the U.S. Look up the prices for it on ebay and you can see just how rare it is.

 

[WorldCritic]

Wait, Ima Lemming actually does have that game? Congratulations you have one the rarest games ever made.

 

[Stryc9]

The rarest games, though... lets see. For the PC, i've got a copy of the relatively unknown Evil Genius, a terrific evil lair simulator from elixir studios before they went belly up.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy of that. Luckily right about the time it came out Microsoft started paying dividends on their stock and my first check was $120. I got a used copy for around $30 because some dumbass couldn't figure it out or didn't like it and returned it, still have the box and the manual along with the discs.

The rarest game I own would have to be Cybercon III though, besides a friend of mine I don't think anyone but me owns a copy of it and I wouldn't have mine if he hadn't gotten it for me for Christmas a few years ago.
