Rare games

[Bunny]

That's what the PSP version is for, Lunar. :cat: Well, then you'd have to buy a PSP if you didn't already own one, so you'd probably spend as much money for it on the PlayStation.

It would be better to buy the Playstation copy. Generally, you can find a copy of Valkyrie Profile on EBay for around $70-$100 for a bidding. It is significantly more expensive when doing a Buy Now purchase, upwards of $170. However, the PSP alone costs around $200($250 for the "Entertainment" pack) and the game costs $40.00. So, unless you are obsessed with playing games on a smaller screen just because you can bring it with you, it'd be better on the wallet to go for the EBay route.

Let's see. I'm not up to the minute with rare games but I own a few that have been named:

Suikoden 1, Suikoden 2, Lunar: Silver Star Story, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue, and, of course, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.

I bought Disgaea when it first came out for $50. Both Lunar games ran me about $30 each, but I got the second for Christmas a few years back. Suikoden 1 was a birthday present back in 2001 and was pretty cheap on Amazon.com for about $15-20. I got really lucky and found Suikoden 2, complete with booklet and case, for around $15 as well. Unfortunately, the copy I purchased is covered with light scratches. It functions properly and everything but there is always the fear that it will just give out on me one day. I'm not sure what I would do if that happened. I have come close to buying it on EBay more than a few times.

I guess I'd have to put my copies of Suikoden 1 & 2 in the list, as well as Disgaea. Don't think I have anything else that is 'rare'. I have Wild Arms as well, but I don't know if that one qualifies as rare. My games are all in excellent condition (manuals, inserts, etc.) so I imagine that makes them worth more.

I think the release of Disgaea 2 has pushed up the price of Disgaea. Now that it's got a sequel, people who missed the first one are looking for it to try the game spawned a sequel.

I will universally reccomend that if you have Suikoden 1 or 2, keep it.

I don't have Lunar. I wanted it, but I don't have it.

[Dell]

I agree on Suikoden III. I kept searching but I still cannot find it.

I guess I own some of the rare game listed. Should I sell them? Or Shouldn't I? *Money Eyes* I want $$$.

[~SapphireStar~]

Wow, got quite a few. I cant be bothered to list them all, but Im no way parting with them. My ex bought me Suikoden 1 and 2 from his work for £30 each! They looked as though they had never been played! Plus I bought a copy of Suikdoen 3 for £20 in a game shop in Leeds. Cant play it ... yet! So they arent getting away!

Disgaea, Suikoden I-V+Tactics, MGS3 Subsistence LE, Rez, Lunar 1 and 2, Valkyrie Profile, Kartia, Xenogears, FFT, and Electroplankton. <3

Suikoden IV and Suikoden V, as well as Suikoden Tactics, aren't really that rare. I seem them quite often whenever I go into an EBGames or Gamestop. And is the Xenogears you have the Greatest Hits version or the original?

[Vincent, Thunder God]

The first two Monkey Island games and the other old Lucasarts adventure games are almost impossible to find now, and I'm glad I got them before Lucasarts stopped selling them.

I bought almost all of them years ago, and the ones I didn't have I got on a site that had them for download. The site was forced down legally within months of being created. Of course, Lucasarts now refuse to sell them, so I can't see the harm in letting people download them.

Even Grim Fandango, one of the hands down greatest games of all time, they refuse to sell, and recently used copies skyrocketed in price on the Net.

I'm glad I advised FallenAngel411 to buy it in time. She bought it for 35$ before the prices raised to 75$ used!!!

[~SapphireStar~]

Crap I forgot Monkey Island! 2 guesses who gave me my copies ...

[Jowy]

Original print of Xenogears.

[Moon Rabbits]

I've been told that ICO is rare. I have that.

Other than that, the only rare game I own is probably Xenogears.

[Ouch!]

I was hoping for a thread about Donkey Kong. I'm disappointed.

I don't own any rare games. I fail like that.
