We all know that to us gamers, finding a rare game in a shop, at normal price, is an awesom experience, especailly when its one weve been specifically looking for, or if theres multiple rarities.

Yesterday I found both Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and La Pucelle Tactics.

CoM for $32 and La Pucelle for $110 (NZ money)

The week earlier I found Castlevania: Lament of Innocence for $70

I was quite happy with my finds.

Anyway, what rare titles have you recently found?

There was Valkyrie Profile, but that was a few months ago...

Recently, Final Fantasy Tactics (again -_-; ). Hey, not complaining.

X-Com: Enemy Unknown, PS1 version.

I'd spent about seven years looking for a copy.

Only thing I've seen that's rarer is Suikoden.

I wouldn't say it was recently, but a bit ago I found Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis for GBA for 25 bucks. I saw it going for 70$ on eBay.

Xenogears, $40USD.

Prior to the Greatest Hits re-release, of course, but long after its original release.

I found Suikoden 1 and 2 at a store for like 20 and 25 respectively. The stupidest thing I've ever done is not buying suikoden 2, cause I wanted to see if I liked the first one. I did and of course had no idea how rare suikoden 2 is, ending up spending 90 on ebay to get it. If only I could find Tactics ogre....

I'm not sure if these are rare, but I found a pack with the two Castlevania games for GBA, brand new, for around 30AUD. I have looked all around Melbourne and Brisbane, and that was the only copy I could find.

It was either earlier this year, or late last year that I found Xenogears in a store for $20. It was a Greatest hits copy, but I wasn't complaining. True, you can buy it cheaper on ebay, but if I can avoid internet shopping, the happier I am.

Well I didnt find this in a store but I talked my co-worker into selling me Tactics Ogre (psx) for 20 Bucks.... Shnugans! But as for games I recently found in stores I found Silhouette Mirage (psx) Legend of Mana (psx) and Alundra (psx). I didnt pay more then $25 each. :choc2:

heh! I bet none of you have found Thousand Arms :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :p :p :pYou've lost!! :p, found it at a price of $15.99 at a local store :)

In other words, I bought the Lament of Innocence for just $9.99, and the Champions of Norrath for $11.99 :)

I will go tomorrow to buy some games at the gamestore in my city, I'll check out for some rare ones :)

Oh, and I know a store in town where I can get Fade to Black, original issue, for the PS1. Almost tempted.
