All my other games dont seem that rare.

Oh how could I forget. I own Project Justice too.

Say, is Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage that SS RPG game?

I think this may be the only house in australia that has DDR Extreme 2 on a ps2 console.

I also have Monster Rancher 2.

a few others not worth mentioning.

No, it's a 3D SamSho game, not to be confused with the two 3D SS's on NeoGeo 64. It's not a very good game, to be honest.

Someone has to own Valkyrie Profile, if only to piss everyone else off. :P

Timber Maniac
04-16-2006, 03:12 AM
^Hi.

I always get confused when people mention that they own a supposedly rare game like Xenogears because they fail to mention which version they have aquired. An original copy is fairly difficult and expensive to get. The greatest hits version can be bought from Amazon for like $15.00.

Anyway...list:

PS1

Star Ocean: Second Story
Valkyrie Profile
Castlevania: SotN
Street Fighter Collection
X-Men vs Street Fighter

Dreamcast:

Power Stone
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Skies of Arcadia

I do not own anything necessarily rare for my other systems. I've played all the rare SNES games for my emulator... but that doesn't count.

Once upon a time, I was walking around the city and I saw this woman holding a garage sale. Among the things she was selling were a bunch of NES titles for about a dollar or two each. And within that plethora of games was a golden Zelda cartridge. One dollar as well!

I could have been a bastard and cheated her by selling it later on for a heftier price tag, but instead I simply warned her not to sell it and post it up on eBay or something instead. It was the last kind deed I will ever commit.

Kawaii Ryűkishi
04-16-2006, 03:28 AM
The gold cartridges aren't really rare, but people definitely think they are, which still counts for something, I guess.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (gold cartridge)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (holographic gold cartridge)
Star Ocean: The Second Story

Xenogears OI is rare?
I sold my NES/SNES collections/systems already, so that's that.

XxSephirothxX
04-16-2006, 03:34 AM
I've got Star Ocean: The Second Story and Breath of Fire III for the PS1; I guess those are fairly rare. I've got Disgaea and Suikoden III for the PS2, which aren't really that rare but are somewhat difficult to come by. And I tried to pick up Mischief Makers for the N64 about a month ago for 5 bucks, which seemed quite reasonable, but the guy at EB couldn't find it in the back of the store. :(

Shoeberto
04-16-2006, 03:38 AM
Star Ocean: Second Story (only paid ~$7 for it, too)
Xenogears (original)
FF Tactics (original) (also, I dunno that you could call it too rare. I picked the original issue of it used up for around $15.)
Final Fantasy I

FF Tactics (original) (also, I dunno that you could call it too rare. I picked the original issue of it used up for around $15.)
It was up there with Suikoden II for prices before they rereleased it. :p

My rare games:

FFT (original)
Suikoden I
Suikoden II

Can somebody please establish a well defined criteria for what constitutes a certain game as rare? There's a bit too much disagreeing going on.

Kawaii Ryűkishi
04-16-2006, 04:24 AM
That would be pretty difficult. Also, "criteria" is a plural.

NeoCracker
04-16-2006, 04:40 AM
I wish I knew what happened to my Majora's mask Hollow face one, but aside from that Breath of fire II, though I need to get it resurfaced.

Also, I get the feeling most dreamcast games are pretty rare, since not as many copies were made of games after the release of the PS2.

I do have a copy of FF 3 around for SNES, the american release of VI. My freinds got some DBZ game in JApanese for the SNES thats fairly entertaining.

VorpalCyberWolf
04-16-2006, 04:43 AM

Erdrick Holmes
04-16-2006, 04:51 AM
Is the PS2 version of the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection rare?

Sephex
04-16-2006, 04:53 AM
Let's see.

Well, I have the SNES FFII (IV), SNES III (VI), and Chrono Trigger on cart. I know they aren't RARE rare, but I know tons of people that say they can't find them. If they do, they say they go for too much.

For PS1 I own an original FF Tactics. I own some Gundam game I bought on impulse that I've seen go for a decent price on eBay for the PS1 also.

For PS2 I have Rez and Guitaroo Man. I know both of those are pretty hard to find.

I know I maybe have more, but that's all I can think of right now.

Madame Adequate

Saturn-
Nights

You bastard >=O

Anyway, mine would be Suikoden II, Star Ocean: The Second Story (Sadly it was a second hand copy, and is thus in bad shape, but it works at least. And I have the manual, it not the covers.), and Xenogears (Original issue). I have a friend who has Valkyrie Profile, too.

Moon Rabbits
04-16-2006, 05:40 AM
PS1:

Vagrant Story (original release)
Xenogears (released under "squaresoft" not re-release under squeenix)
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue (and i paid an arm and a leg)


I didn't know Vagrant Story or Xenogears were rare...the store near my house has tons of second hand copies. They don't have L: SSSC though ;-;. The store also has an original Chrono Trigger cartridge for 99 bucks, which I'm looking into buying...as well as their FF1, II and III cartridges (NA releases) for 49.99

PS2:

Ico (I don't think that ever made it to greatest hits...)
The Bouncer (s'far as I'm concerned this is rare, cuz I've only ever seen one copy, and it's mine)
Shin Megami Tensei (sp i believe)

Gameboy Advance:

Golden Sun (I think it's rare...i dunno...I'm gonna sell it either way)

I Took the Red Pill
04-16-2006, 05:42 AM
I don't honestly know which of my games are rare, but I suppose some of my nes ones are. I know that I have the "yellow label" metroid for nes, which is more uncommon than the "silver label", but I don't think it would be considered extremely rare. A few people have said Ico, and although I'm not sure if that really is rare or not, I have that. Oh I guess Megaman 6?

Oh BTW,

You, sir, are a God.

EDIT: Apparently The Adventures of Dizzy as an Aladdin (gold) cartridge is really rare, which I have

Azure Chrysanthemum
04-16-2006, 05:49 AM
The rarest game I have is probably Disgaea: Hour of Darkness for the PS2. That one's hard to find. La Pucelle: Tactics is decently rare too, if memory serves.

Kawaii Ryűkishi
04-16-2006, 05:51 AM

LUNAR: Silver Star Story
LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue
ICO
Makai Senki Disgaea

Lunar silver star story complete, Xenogears, That square fighting game, I;m too drunk to look it up, saga frointier 1/2 I mena I never see them anywhere even when they were first out. FFT is somewhat rareish. I dunno I can't think right now

Final Fantasy Tactics and Suikoden 2 are a couple that I've seen posted here, but I never really thought they were too rare. I have both as original issues. I also have a pretty cool game for PS1 called Hexen. Never met anyone else who has that one though.

That's a rare game. I played it at my friend's house years ago when Playstation was still like $200.00. I remember it being a rather dark, extremely bloody game and that it was from France (and you could have it in French or English). And that it was really fucking hard.

If it's still there, I know a store I could buy an o.i. copy of Loaded in not 45 minute's walk from me. O__o They also have original Wipeout, I think Destruction Derby, and... something else rare, but I don't remember what.

Not really.

Oh yeah, I also own Vagrant Story, didn't beat it though, it got annoying and boring.

Does anyone know if Bouncer is rare elsewhere?

Erdrick Holmes
04-16-2006, 09:02 PM
The ICO game that doesn't have the Greatest Hits packaging is mighty rare last I heard.

Also, I was talking to my aunt recently. She's gona sell me her old NES with some controllers and a bunch of games, one of those games is Dragon Warrior 4. I belive that's pretty rare, even back in the late NES days.

Ico isnt that rare now seeing as it got a re-release in Feb. Thats only in the EU mind. But the original copy with cards is very rare.

I know but I had to use you...the person I consider to be the most knowledgeable gamer around here as the ploy to make a point about the game :D

Rare games I own...I own Gitaroo-man. I don't know if that got a re-release or not. If it did then strike it from the record.

Ummm.....

PSX:
Castlevania Chronicles on PSX(Last I heard only 30,000 were ever made)
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete(all the packaging and everything)
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete(all the packaging and everything...again)
Tales of Eternia(released in Sept. of 2001...I assume it was a limited release due to PS2 being out for almost a year at that point)

It was going up that way like a month ago, but no, it's only around 100$+ right now.

Yeah, if it's released outside of Japan and everyone has a PSP, I can't see why anyone would pay that much.

People would pay that much because VP is simply one of the greatest RPGs of all time. And it's pretty dang hard to find, unless you pay a good amount of money. The game is pretty rare in the U.S., and it was released in the U.S. in 2000 anyway.

Is Castlevania Chronicles the collection of the old Castlevanias on the NES and SNES?

Also, digging through my PC discs, I cna add to this list.

Sonic CD
Sonic 3 and Knuckles
Sonic R
Metal Gear Solid
Samurai Showdown 2, which I really need to reinstall

I used to have Jumping Flash 2 for PS1, but alas, the disc got destroyed due to people who like messing with my stuff.

Castlevaina Chronicles is a port of a PC version of the first one...or something like that. Long story short Gamefaqs would be able to point it out exactly.

I probably have a ton more, but I don't know what's rare and what's not.

By the way, if Xenogears is so rare, why do 3/4 of you have it?

Neither of those are terribly hard to find. Rather, uncommon.

I blew quite a bit of money last week on Rez (PS2), Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Valkyrie Profile, Um Jammer Lammy, factory-sealed Sword of Mana, and have another original issue SotN getting transferred to my store. :) It's awesome when your boss goes to close down a store in another state and have the cool stuff from their inventory go to yours.

I blew quite a bit of money last week on Rez (PS2), Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Valkyrie Profile, Um Jammer Lammy, factory-sealed Sword of Mana, and have another original issue SotN getting transferred to my store. :) It's awesome when your boss goes to close down a store in another state and have the cool stuff from their inventory go to yours.
:eek: Do you sell the SotN? maybe if you have two edition, can you sell me one? please?:cry:

Well, I'm not really sure which of my games are rare, probably most of my Atari 2600, NES, and possibly my Genesis games. I have some of the games listed here. Ico, gold cartridge Zelda, Chrono Cross, La Pucelle: Tactics, and I guess there's others but I don't know if they're rare or not. Also, from what I hear Psychonauts is bound to become rare soon.

Is FFVII rare? I heard that game is out of print now.

Well, it was a Greatest Hits. I saw one the other day used, but I couldn't say if it's on the same level of rarity of some of the other games mentioned...then again, I'm no expert, so meh. :cat:

FFVII is crazy common. I'd say it's almost as common as MGS1.

Koudelka and Shadow Hearts (I wouldn't really consider Covenant to be rare)


Would FFVII amd VIII PC versions count as rare? I have them both bought from shops, not eBay.

Trust me, it is in the UK. There are 4 second hand game shops where Im currently living and none of them have a copy. And same when I worked in CEX, once one would come it, it was gone.

Double Dragon, i had that on the GameBoy, i didn't know it was rare.

Someone said Golden Sun, Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and Harvest Moon, but I don't think they're rare.
They are rare where Im currently living. You can only get them unboxed.

By the way, if Xenogears is so rare, why do 3/4 of you have it?
It depends on where you live. Im from the UK and Xenogears wasnt released here, so my copy is rare cause those who cant play NTSC games havent got a copy.

If you import a common game that doesn't make it rare. It just makes the game expensive...but it isn't rare.

~SapphireStar~
04-18-2006, 04:06 PM
Says who? And I didnt pay a penny for it, so it wasnt expensive. I still see it as rare because the majority of UK players wont have it.

It isn't rare to your area. It is non-existant in your area. Xenogears is far from a rare game and anyone who wants one can go on ebay and get for under $40 USD and that includes international shipping.

Erdrick Holmes
04-18-2006, 05:48 PM
Pah, about a year ago I got Xenogears from ebay for like 23 dollars. STILL in the shrinkwrapping. Fantastic game. It's however rare if you find it in a store rather than online.

I just remembered, I have Killer Instinct, one of the few good fighting games that Sega, SNK or Capcom never had to do with... for the Gamebody. Beleive it or not it actually plays pretty solid.

This entire Thread is kind of ridiculous IMO... There is really no means to constitute what is rare, and what is not...

Only one I can think of at the moment is Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis (i love it!)

Hopefully I'll pick up Tactics Ogre LUCT soon... :plotting:

And also Bomberman World if thats rare...

For the Playstation I probably have a whole /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gifload of rare games, I have too many to remember :p

A lot of my Original Atari video game system games are pretty old and definitely rare now, as well as the actual system.

Come to think of it, FFVII is coming sort of rare to as it's high on demand, hard to find in stores, and on eBay it's prices jump all the time. I remember buying mine for $40 with FFX included, now on eBay it's $40, alone.

Is SO:SS terribly rare? It doesn't seem incredibly rare, but not too common. (It certainly isn't expensive, although like was already said, that doesn't really constitute anything.)

That's not a Final Fantasy, the name was just tacked on. It's actually a Seiken Densetsu. As for rarity, I have no idea.

Star Ocean Second Story? I bought mine afew years ago at a carboot sale for Ł5! Bargin. Ive only ever seen one second hand copy in Gamestation and they wanted Ł25 for it. Ebay stock it I think. I guess it could be rare.

Welll, around where I live, they dont even sell FF7 anymore. So I guess you could call that rare. My copy was 20 bucks and was really hard to find. Had to goto New Hampshire to buy it :p It was sooo worth it though :D

Man I havent seen a copy of that in years. Its only the PS2 versions you see scattered around now.

Well, it also depends where you live. In NYC things are easy to find, so maybe that's why. And I'm being kinda bias here since I bought the game the first day it came out.

05-26-2006, 03:54 PM
Oh I know, not having a go or anything. It may not be very rare in the UK, but I live in both Bradford and Manchester and visit game shops almost on a daily business and I cant recall the last time I seen a copy of GT1.

I have a N64 game called Conker's Bad Fur Day. No 1 N64 game ever (apart from ssb). I'm pretty sure it's rare. I've only known one other person to own it and that was my cousin.
