Ill give you $25 for it

Lol

Xenosaga Episode 3 CIB ($200) or Xenogears loose ($70).
That's my guess at least. I do not own many physical video games.

---

Rarest: 1994 Blockbuster Video Game Championships II for the Sega Genesis. One of only a handful in the world (it was 2-3 a few years ago, though I think a couple more have surfaced since then).

Most valuable: 1990 Nintendo World Championship (grey edition).The last confirmed sale was a couple months ago, for $180,000, but that's much higher than historical sales, which makes me a bit suspicious. It's probably worth closer to $25,000 - $30,000 right now.

---

I think it's Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete?

---

Probably Mega Man Legends 1 & 2, used.

Although many 3DS and Vita games are shooting up in price these days; I should check on those.

---

Fire Emblem Path of Radiance maybe?

---

I think I have the winner here. It's something so obscure most of you have probably never even heard of the SYSTEM it's from.

Games Pac I for the HP-67/97





The individual games are on magnetic cards that you feed into a slot on the programmable calculator. There were two versions of the calculator, the handheld HP-67 and the desktop HP-97. The two models were functionally equivalent and could run the same program cards. They had 224 bytes of RAM. The 97 had an MSRP of $750 in 1976, equal to about $3600 today!

what's the most expensive individual game you have? i'm seeing games in the $100 to $130 range, which is still within like GC game prices (pokemon box is fucking $500 loose what the fuck)

Hard to tell, because I don't have anything blatantly super-rare that I know of, so it's hard to just compare the relatively obscure games I have to figure out which one's the rarest.

Is it rarer or more common than Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete? I've got both.

Suikoden I and II are possibilities, they used to be proverbial rare games back in the day that would sell for a ton, especially when they didn't have updated ports on newer systems. But that might have been because the demand side of the Supply/Demand curve was so high, not necessarily because the supply side was super-rare.

For way more obscure stuff, I've got games like Koudelka and Echo Night, but I'm not really sure if they're rare or mostly just forgotten.

On the Xbox I've got Galleon - I have no idea whether or not it was especially rare, but it was definitely obscure even at the time.

There might be other games I have that I'm forgetting - I haven't really touched any of my PS1/PS2 games in years.

I found one copy of the Games Pac that went for $130 on Ebay.

I have some pretty rare board games that might be worth something as well. An original 1985 version of SolarQuest, and This Game is Bonkers! from 1978. No idea what they'd actually sell for, however.

New copies of Kuon ($1,500) and Rule of Rose ($1,100) with its soundtrack ($250).

---

I've got every heroscape set and their boxes. They used to go for a good chunk, no idea now.

Video game wise idk there are a lot of ones I didn't expect to be expensive in my collection that are. Earthbound, Fire Emblem tellius games, lots of GameCube games

---

The rarest video games I have for a system someone has heard of would probably be K-Razy Antiks, K-Razy Kritters, and K-Razy Shoot-Out, by K-Byte for the Atari 400/800. Shoot-Out was basically a clone of Berzerk and Kritters was an improved version of Space Invaders, but Antiks was something totally new. You were an ant and you had to rid your nest of enemy ants while avoiding torrential floods and anteaters. The game had a unique "life" system, you could lay eggs anywhere in the nest and as long as one was left when you died you could respawn. The enemy ants could do the same, so you had to destroy their eggs while luring them away from your own.

Rare replay

Probably Misadventures of Tron Bonne, or Mega Man Legends 2. I don't know which one they technically made less of, only that Tron Bonne is the more expensive game ($550 - $750 used vs. $100 - $250 used).

I think my copy of Frogger on the Atari 2600 is technically rare, like the game was common, but the version of it I have is rare (Taiwan Cooper version: https://atariage.com/cart_page.php?SystemID=2600&SoftwareLabelID=1706&itemTypeID=CART). That said, it isn't like it is expensive since no one cares about 2600 games.

---

There's a difference between rare and expensive. Something can be exceedingly rare, but if there's also no demand for it, it won't be worth a lot of money. Something that is more common but in very high demand (like Pokemon cards) will be worth more.

I have both this and the japanese version (used to have a broke ps1 to play japan games.

They used to be worth over $500, but looks like they have gone down in value big time now for some reason.

N64 Conker's Bad Fur Day! Actually had to buy because I spilled soda on the first one and it didn't work so I bought a second copy only to find the one that I'd spilled soda actually did work after it dried out.

I still have the second unopened copy because they wouldn't refund my money and there would only exchange the game for the same game so I was stuck with it.

Now I understand these games can fetch as much as $500 if it's in quality condition and it doesn't get any more quality than unopened.

I also have the NBA Jam game with Charles Barkley before they removed him from the game too on SNES!

---

Probably the .Hack collection or area 51, the David Duchovny game.

bought this at a flea market back in 2010 for $20. It had everything in the box.

You're a freak!

I have no way of really knowing. My go-to answer is a sealed copy of Rule of Rose, because I know the aftermarket on that is insane.

Arv would have to research

Bust a Groove for PS1 probably. I dunno

Ill have that at some point next year

---

I don't think they're particularly rare or valuable, but I still have the original CD-ROMs of Diablo 2 & Lord of Destruction and Redneck Rampage.

---

I used to own a copy of project zeros pal version on wii and phantasy star online 1+2 on gamecube and steambot chronicles on ps2 and eternal darkness on gamecube but right now my most expensive games are probably the last story and xenoblade chonicles on wii.

---

Most expensive I have a loose cart nes bonk's adventure. 500-800 bucks loose depending on condition I guess. My grandpa got it at a flea market in a bad area for probably 50 cents. Along with a lot of other games. We used to get a ton of good stuff before every person on earth had a cell phone and looked shit up

Rarest I have is probably my la Mulana 2 kickstarter pc boxed copies of La Mulana 1 and 2 that say Kickstarter right on the box. I'll never open the shrink wrap on those. No one else will care about them but it's a treasure to me.

I don't have too many rare games. I would say the most valuable I have is a CIB copy of Fire Emblem for the GBA, which goes for $170, but that game was stupidly common and went for $20 forever. It is more demand that it is so high now with the whole retro gaming thing that is going on now

I have a box of about 30 loose snes cartridges. No idea what theyre all worth individually or as a lot.

I have this at home.

I also have Dragon Warrior 3 with all maps and the original Nintendo power guide.

At one time DW 3 and DW 4 were worth about the same, not sure if that is still the case.

A completed DQ4 is one of the rarest things that got a reasonable production (IE: not limited releases like Nintendeo World Championship)

What I think is a CIB Panzer Dragoon Saga.

---

Technically, the rarest games I own are also worthless: weird, random old Commodore and Tandy floppies that no one cares about. Low supply, nonexistent demand. If I ever review them here I may have to add them to the database first.

Now, in terms of rare/expensive holy grails and whatnot, I do have a CIB Panzer Dragoon Saga.

I have a CIB Xenogears and a CIB Megaman Legends 2. I used to have a bunch of other rare stuff, but I lost most of my games when I moved.
