Rarest/most desirable game you own?

Quigs Snr

Come to think of it, I have an original large box version of System Shock 2. The game is not all that rare mind, but seems to be one people always have trouble finding.

SHould've backed up the floppies, they got corrupted

Oh yes... I have The Great Giana Sisters for the C64... I think Nintendo forced them to remove that from the shelves as it was really just a clone of Super Mario Bros.

wow there's a blast from the past, have that at home somewhere on the a 51/4" C64 floppy, what a great game!!!lots of frustratingly happy memories.

Well thats work out the window for me today time to go to google

I actually got Panzer Dragoon with the Saturn I got off a mate who used to work in Electronics Boutique in the UK so were going back a few years here, It only seems to have got uber expensive in the last 5yrs or so. Word to the wise the Saturn is deffo going to become the next big retro console, its got so many classic games on it eg Silvergun et al and it got so totally obliterated by the PSX that its got an inherent cool factor to it.

Anyway, two games I do possess and the price seems to be rising for all the time are System Shock 2 and Planescape Torment. I lost, and then found, one of the discs for Planescape so I thought, ah I'll just pick up a replacement for a few quid on Ebay. Crazy prices, £30 easy second hand.

Right, if SNES RPGs are rare these days, then I have boxed w/ instruction booklets (US NTSC):

Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy III (VI)
Soul Blazer
Illusion of Gaia
Legend of Zelda
(I'm sure there's others but that would require digging through the box of SNES games hehe)

Still have my Game Gear too, with the Master Gear convertor with Psycho Fox and Shadow of the Beast (Master System).

I'd love to have Radiant Silvergun. That was a very good price for it. I have Panzer Dragoon Saga for Saturn. I don't know how rare the japanese Capcom fighting games are for the Saturn but I have the whole bunch - X-Men vs SF, Marvel vs SF, Pocket Fighter, Vampire Saviour etc. A lot of Saturn and Dreamcast games which wouldn't thrill most people but aren't that easy to track down. A lot of original Neo Geo Pocket games too.

But no Radiant Silvergun...

A couple of games on the PC Engine like GunHed, Shinobi, New Zeland Story, Ninja Warriors etc. which I'm sure are hard enough to get hold of (seeing as it was never released here).

I have the PAL version fo Rez for the DC and also the Samab De Amigo boxset which I bought off Dreamareana. I never saw one in the shops.

I also have a ton of games for the Commodore 16

Yep Still got all the packaging that it came in too. I often see it on eBay going for a bit alright. What a great game and the ability to download old Sega tunes onto your VMU was class (afterburner rocks).

How about the original Pac Man and Space Invaders for the atari?
and some game about fighting tooth decay, it was genius!

Eliza on cassette for the TRS-80
pretty crap, but also pretty rare I would think.

Don't have much of the stuff i used to have, but 'had' a neogeo AES jap system with kof98, kof2000, samurai shodown 2 and the jap (less rare but still worth nearly 800 quid) metal slug 1.

Then i needed money and sold the lot together with the NG pocket and various games i had for that.
