Poll of the Day > How many of the rarest video games do you own?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What's your collection worth?

I once owned some TI-99/4A carts that were apparently very rare. Munchman II, Burger Builder, TI Toad, Red Baron Flight Simulator, and probably more

No idea of the worth.

---

None. I think the rarest one I have is worth like $80 max.
---

Yes, Super Mario Bros. and Tetris are rare games. Stupid list.

---

I think somewhere in my family we have a copy of Crusader of Centy that I'm not sure how we got. IIRC it fetches over $300. Other than that nothing I'm aware of, but I have a few well-known games that fetch above original MSRP

I only skimmed through the list but it seemed like their criteria was a bit silly, looked like they include a lot of limited/specific editions and go more by max than average. Like I said I have a $300+ on average game and it's not on there, but I thought I saw a couple there that said they start in the low 100s (but go higher sealed or whatever)

Rare, or valuable?

The rarest game I own is probably some low tier third party game. First one to come to mind is The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe for GameCube. It could also be Ocarina of Time Master Quest on the GameCube, or the Collector's Edition that had the NES and N64 Zelda games on one disk.

The most valuable is tough to say. Some GameCube games are weirdly expensive now. I have MGS The Twin Snakes, which probably is worth a good amount.

Panzer Dragoon Saga and Earthbound.

Shantae is on the list twice :V

I have a couple of the ones on the list, like Earthbound and Wrecking Crew... but not new in box at all.

I'm surprised SNES Metal Warriors didn't make the list since it's one of the most expensive 'loose used' games there are... but it could be due to popularity and not due to rarity

I also at one point had all the Atari 2600 games on the list... because I had a reproduction run with EVERY Atari 2600 game, but I sold it in like 200...8? 2007? I can't remember exactly. But they were reproduction carts so no real value (was heavy though, being hundreds of games)

---

I owned Megaman 5 but not for gameboy.

---

I have an NES bonks adventure. That's a bit pricy. Got it for super cheap at a flea market pre the Era of everyone looking up ebay prices on cell phones

But I also have something newer that is probably more rare, but less valuable which is my la Mulana 1 and 2 disc physical pc copies from the la Mulana 2 kickstarter

I jelly, I missed the kickstarter and those are phenomenal games

---

The only thing on that list that I have is EarthBound, but I kinda doubt my loose cart with a worn label is worth $2,127.

Panzer Dragoon Saga (paid $500 for it).

I know Daytona USA CCE NetLink is much more rare, though.

---

I own no rare video games at all.

---

Anything gauging rarity by how much idiots on eBay are listing them for rather than how much they have actually sold (or at least been bid on) is not even worth looking at. Anyone can list their busted up copy of Ocarina of Time for $80,000 and then leave the listing up forever because nobody will ever pay that.

The actual rarest/most valuable game I ever had was probably an original copy of Xenoblade Chronicles. I sold it for like $200 I think.

None from that list, but my most valuable so far is a sealed copy of Rule of Rose that's recently been going for over $1,300, plus its soundtrack which goes for like $250.

---

I had Mega Man V for GB. Don't know where it is now though.

---

I remember seeing ads for that Elemental Gearbolt contest in some gaming magazine

---

I didn't think I would have any. I think I have 5-6 copies of super Mario bros, but some are the dual with duck hunt and some the triple with world class track meet.

I have several copies of super Mario 2. I think I have duck tales as well.

I also own earthbound and harvest moon.

I have some uncommon and semi rare games but none from that list unfortunately

---

Is this list looping or something?

---

This topic didn't go quite how I intended. We were supposed to all laugh at the list.

There's also this.

This is a super dumb list and not even close to accurate. Anyways, I own 32, 27, 26, 14, 8, and 1.

So six of them, I guess.

---

The rarest game I own is probably The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. I own a few Atari 7800 games that are somewhat rare, but not by that much.
