    Is it dumped online? Then it isn't rare because there's infinite copies available.

      AFAIK it has not been dumped. It's a rare early version containing the first two routes IIRC, much like the Remake did. It's also less polished than the final release, with several typos. It would be great for something like TCRF.

        Huh? It was dumped right when it came out. I got my copy on Perfect Dark back in the 00s.

      Imagine if the Beatles used to be some random D-list band that opened in small clubs and sold a single of their first song at a few of them. That's basically what this is. It's basically a long demo for Tsukihime before Type-Moon became one of the biggest names in anime that was only sold at a few doujin events. It's a huge collector's item due to the history of it, but there's nothing on it that isn't in the full game.

        Anon, your hypothetical is nearly reality.
        You could have just said "Imagine if someone was selling one of the Beatles' original Decca audition tapes."

      this reminds me of finding the Russian dub of TTGL and the site that sold the DVDs, ofc me being a broke high school student in the 2010's couldn't afford to nor figure out how to buy shit from Russia, and now I can't find shit on it. Makes me wonder how many obscure Russian translations exist that don't exist as English translation.

    I wish ZUN would compile the pre Windows Touhou games into a neat little collection, but sounds like he is embarrassed by them. Relating to the topic, i guess there was such a cd collection once, but its about just as stupid rare as the original, individual releases.

      He should be. Their contemporaries include some of the best Cotton games. When they came out no one wanted to play them, and for a good reason.

    There's a sequel to Cosmology of Kyoto sitting out there somewhere, with the only known copy sitting in some Jap collector's collection. Even Cosmology of Kyoto is pretty up there as one of the rarest games.

        Not a lot of databases have it, it's called Tripitaka, and there should be something about the whole thing out there somewhere. Apparently it was only sold in a museum.

    I feel kinda bad. One time i was in a goodwill and found in a printed cardboard sleeve some game released/given away by an ATV dealership with some cartoon tiger character. I probably would have gotten it, but that day i just didn't feel like paying the price marked on it for something that was likely a little flash game. Later in hindsight i felt bad because it probably wasn't dumped online.

      Are they native? There are a bunch of official arcade releases for pc that Korea got, including NeoGeo stuff, that was literally just mame on a disc.

        I think they are, considering they came out just a year after the arcade.

    The Argentine release of Industry Giant had the cute detail of replacing the foreign currency for local currency. Localised cover art was not really a thing here.
