No because I made over a hundred dollars off it and I got it for only like 60 because I traded in some DVD's and used a coupon when I originally bought it at Vintage Stock.
i have a copy of BFD i bought at a cash exchange like 15 years ago for 5 bucks and a copy of SSB for 10. asked why SSB cost more and they said "because its more popular". still one of the best deals i've ever gotten tbh.
The game and manual are in good condition but the case unfortunately has a large crack on the back. Just how it was when I got it back in the day. Even if it was near-mint I doubt I'd ever sell it just out of laziness.
mine is a weird case...
i have an original JP Pop'n TwinBee SNES cart with box, manual, and all,and i had it since it's original 1993 release(imported in EU for a little more than its retail price, literally just import+shipping fees), which was several months before its official EU release, and for YEARS it was somewhat of a rarity, i think it was around 1998 or 1999 where it reached a few hundred dollars in value.
then the internet exploded, ebay became a thing, importing good conditions boxed jp games became more common, and now you can find it for 35 bucks, same conditions as mine
>bought a single copy of almost every nintendo DS RPG game I could find 10 years ago >almost all of them doubled in price at least, with a few going up to x10 and x20
>most rare
Probably Avalon Code? I really don't keep track.
I dunno about rare, but I own several shmups on PS1 that are pretty expensive to buy secondhand these days: DoDonPachi, all of the Parodius games and the TwinBee Deluxe Pack.
Similar to Spider-Man 2, these copies were recalled due to the 9/11 attack. I believe it's only the cover art that was changed. A handful of 9/11 copies are out there - most of them with holepunches in the barcodes (review/promo copy).
>tabula rasa
LOL it'd be funny if that ended up being rare after all the stories of gamestop dumpsters filled with special editions of it after the game shut down like a month after launch.
>Every highly popular and widespread older game they couldn't give away for decades is now more expensive than it was on release due to covid normies recapturing their youth
It's over.
I wonder when the first rewriteable nes/snes carts showed up. I think even in the snes era there was one.
Also funny to think that all you needed to play pirated games on dreamcast was fit them on a CD-R.
True. The old solutions relied on floppy disks or burnt CD-R's. I think the first SD-based flash cartridges and Everdrives started appearing around the late-2000's/early-2010's.
Dreamcast is a pirate's paradise but getting a GDemu doesn't hurt since they're cheap, you can fit uncompressed GDI images on them, and a few games like Maken X are impossible to compress to a point they can fit on a burnt disc.
Is it in a zip file? Because if it is it'll likely shoot up to 860+mb once you unzip it. At-least that's how it was for me when I tried it and the cunt CD software wouldn't let me burn a copy.

It is a .CDI the entire point of the format is to compress the game for CD-Rs. There is even a less compressed 99MIN .CDI copy for 99 minute ~1gb CD-Rs
>I wonder when the first rewriteable nes/snes carts showed up. I think even in the snes era there was one.
They used floppies back then to do that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bung_Enterprises
Probably Cubivore or Go Go Hypergrind. Maybe Clock Tower 2 for the ps1.
I hate what the used game market has become, all of the games I have now that are worth hundreds of dollars I got for $50 or less from my town's weekly flea market 12 years ago. 8'm a leaf so this was in CAD too. I remember when $50 was considered an obscene amount of money to spend on a used game regardless of its rarity. I have stuff from back then that's over 10x its original value but I'll never sell it because it disgusts me that the market would allow such prices for a game.
I own a copy of Tlön: A Misty Story
I don't know how many copies of it were printed or how expensive it is today. Even those who've heard of it know it only for one thing, due to a bug the game can not be completed without savefile hacking.
I guarantee you a late 90's PC exclusive that's so buggy it can not be beat had less copies of it printed than a single retail console release ever did.
I haven't payed attention in a very long time on what's considered rare. I might have something but I wouldn't really know or have gone out of my way to find out what I have.
probably the original baiten kaitos, eternal darkness, fire emblem: path of radiance. my friend has a collection of saturn games worth probably like 10 grand and it likely the most extensive and expensive library of sega saturn games in our city, or even state. he has a mega collection of other retro stuff too.
yeah you've got a lot of rare stuff there, off the top of my head Marvel VS Capcom 2 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 are both like $200+, i'm sure theres other valuable shit but you can look it up yourself easy
Bt3 200 plus???
I paid 4.99 at EB games back in 2008 or so. Whoever comes up with these prices is fucked in the head. Also MVC 2 is bad on ps2 no? I do t even touch it to be honest. Maybe I should sell all these. Only Megaman X collection has a lot of sentimental value for me. Also rate my Xbox collection. Anything desirable?
I sold my game collection a long time ago when I was in my early teenhood. Wish I didn't, I had games like Chibi Robo, Pokémon games, Zelda Four Swords, Metroid Prime Trilogy, or that anniversary Zelda game on Game Cube.
Chibi Robo alone is at 225$ on Price Charting.
I know this feel. Went off to college and my little brother sold our entire SNES/N64/GCUBE/PS1 collection. This was in 2006, so he probably made a couple hundred at most. I'm still mad.
The truth is that no one could have predicted this absurb bubble regarding retro game prices that started with the grading of Nintendo games to inflate their values.
Now you have games like Pokémon Heartgold with a Pokewalker that goes for 243$ for the PAL version. This is so fucking dumb I wish the retro game market just crash.
>P.E. teacher took my pokewalker because she thinks it's a tamagotchi >never get it back because I had a history of having my tamagotchis taken in class
feels fucking bad man
yeah those are rare if theyre complete in box with the pokewalker, each one is like $300+
i know because i sold my HG complete in box right before the prices exploded
Have a CIB copy of Crusader of Centy with the hint book from when I was a kid which I think goes for a couple grand put together
Never selling it since it was the first game I ever played
Probably the original Paper Mario, or Radiant Dawn for the Wii. After that, it's mostly obscure games that don't really have much value, but have never appeared outside their home console, such as Azure Dreams and Dragonseeds.
I got this for my birthday from a buddy when it came out because I'm a big Godzilla fan, played it a bit and thought it was shit, shelved it for like 6 years and then was randomly checking how much my collection's worth and this fucking thing is the most expensive game I own, its like $200.
Terranigma+official walkthrough
Yokai Watch 3 in English. They short printed the physical copies in America.
Shining Force CD.
I used to have Conker's Bad Fur Day but sold it after I got an N64 Everdrive. Game's not even rare it's just worth a lot of money.
>worth over 100$ now
do you ragret?
any plans to sell? do you play it?
No, I bought it again for PS3 so I keep the PS2 copy in the box now.
No because I made over a hundred dollars off it and I got it for only like 60 because I traded in some DVD's and used a coupon when I originally bought it at Vintage Stock.
i have a copy of BFD i bought at a cash exchange like 15 years ago for 5 bucks and a copy of SSB for 10. asked why SSB cost more and they said "because its more popular". still one of the best deals i've ever gotten tbh.
That's cool. I got Smash 64 at a local pawn shop for 15 bucks like 10 years ago the place has sadly since closed-down I think the owners retired.
God Hand, PS2
They should make a new Rival Schools.
rival schools sucks ass
Panzer dragoon saga
And a load of boxed Pokémon games too, going to sell those soon while the price is crazy
Russian bootleg disc of hl2
The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth
Probably either Tomba or Valkyrie Profile. Also got both Lunar remakes but I dunno if those are very rare.
>Valkyrie profile
The game and manual are in good condition but the case unfortunately has a large crack on the back. Just how it was when I got it back in the day. Even if it was near-mint I doubt I'd ever sell it just out of laziness.

so what i own was rare, but not anymore
Enemy Zero. I got it in a bundle, so i didn't even know it was a valuable game.
>bought a single copy of almost every nintendo DS RPG game I could find 10 years ago
>almost all of them doubled in price at least, with a few going up to x10 and x20
>most rare
Probably Avalon Code? I really don't keep track.
Do you have black sigil?
yea, never played it though.
Probably Pokemon Channel or FE Radiant Dawn
Earthbound

syphon filter 3 911
>911
Was there an early print version of Syphon Filter 3 that later got censored? I know that happened with Spider-Man 2 Enter Electro on PS1.
Similar to Spider-Man 2, these copies were recalled due to the 9/11 attack. I believe it's only the cover art that was changed. A handful of 9/11 copies are out there - most of them with holepunches in the barcodes (review/promo copy).
Oh wow I didn't know they changed the cover art.
One of the rarest PS1 game I can think of. Would be interested to know if there's any gameplay changes as well
Incredible Crisis
I love garden gnomeel cases.
I love everything about them except their fragility.
no idea, like tabula rasa or something? i have a bunch of ps1 games somewhere too
>tabula rasa
LOL it'd be funny if that ended up being rare after all the stories of gamestop dumpsters filled with special editions of it after the game shut down like a month after launch.

No case or manual, but I have a copy of Threads of Fate for ps1.
probably this or my vita copy of taiko, i dont really go for rare games
V Version isn't that rare of a game to find, mate
Now the Taiko x Idolm@ster games, on the other hand...

>XD

They seem to be worth something but I don't know about the rarity
I own a lot of boxed versions of obscure PC games that now have huge cult followings like Arcanum, VTMB, TOEE.
Also tons of old shovel ware RPG games you've never heard of but somehow got 6 numbered releases in a year kinda shit.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 on Dreamcast
Persona 2 EP
The case is falling apart though
I think the thread is confusing rare with expensive
If you can't buy it for less than $150 then it obviously isn't common
You be surprised, at one point Luigi's Massion for GC was going that high. even now what is asked is way to much for a GC launch title.
Pokemon Colosseum w/ Bonus Disc
Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
Chibi-Robo
Resident Evil 10th Anniversary Collection
i'm scared bros wtf do i do
accept that you will die and nothing matters?
Not necessarily rare, but I've got the Misadventures of Tron Bonne, with the MML2 demo disk, which is rather expensive.
I own a copy of Tlön: A Misty Story
I don't know how many copies of it were printed or how expensive it is today. Even those who've heard of it know it only for one thing, due to a bug the game can not be completed without savefile hacking.

>Game image burned on a CD

You DO realise that anyone can get an EXACT same copy of your game from literally any rom site?
are you retarded?
are you? never reply to me again you retard.
you're retarded.

That's not a comparable analogy, fuck off midwit.
I know you prefer food analogies but I won't stoop to that level.
>stoop
That's the correct spelling, ESL.
You're stoopid.
How do they spell "stoop" in the land of the bad teeth and the home of toxic water that stationed U.S. troops are told not to drink?
this the dude walking around in knockoff louis vuitton thinking nobody gonna notice
ywn have a copy of cubivore
Wild Arms Alter code: F
Not ny photo, i cant be bothered to find my copy tbh i got my copy from eb games for $20
I haven't payed attention in a very long time on what's considered rare. I might have something but I wouldn't really know or have gone out of my way to find out what I have.
Gotcha Force
Great game too
I always wanted a sequel but by this point it'd just end up a actual Gacha game so nah
I had this game until a friend borrowed it and moved away, fucker also took my copy of Melee.
Maybe my rarest game is Fire Emblem Path of Radiance.
probably the original baiten kaitos, eternal darkness, fire emblem: path of radiance. my friend has a collection of saturn games worth probably like 10 grand and it likely the most extensive and expensive library of sega saturn games in our city, or even state. he has a mega collection of other retro stuff too.
id Anthology
Bucky O Hare is my most expensive game followed by a Pokemon Crystal on box, I have the box for pokemon stadium 2 but I need the game
physical copies of game & wario seem to go for a high-ish price right now so I guess that
Anything here? I don't keep up with prices or rarity. I just genuinely love ps2 games.
Ps2 brother. I dont know current prices either. I'll never sell them anyway.
yeah you've got a lot of rare stuff there, off the top of my head Marvel VS Capcom 2 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 are both like $200+, i'm sure theres other valuable shit but you can look it up yourself easy
Bt3 200 plus???

Only Megaman X collection has a lot of sentimental value for me. Also rate my Xbox collection. Anything desirable?
I am relatively unfamiliar with xbox but I think xbox games tend to be less valuable because xbox collecting isn't as popular.
who cares lol
Everyone's aware that emulation exists, anon. That's not the point of the thread. You are fucking dumb, my bro.
That's not the point of my post. You are fucking dumb, my bro.

No idea if they're rare, but HG/SS in boxes with the pokewalker and clips too. I managed to get a lot of my collection before the prices skyrocketed.
>P.E. teacher took my pokewalker because she thinks it's a tamagotchi
>never get it back because I had a history of having my tamagotchis taken in class
feels fucking bad man
Tamagotchi are worth money now too depending on the version.
yeah those are rare if theyre complete in box with the pokewalker, each one is like $300+
i know because i sold my HG complete in box right before the prices exploded
Star Fox Competition Cart
I'm not sure. Probably one of these
Earthbound
Suikoden 2
Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
Ogre Battle 64
Have a CIB copy of Crusader of Centy with the hint book from when I was a kid which I think goes for a couple grand put together
Never selling it since it was the first game I ever played
I'll say it. Working Designs was based, their translations were funny and cool collector's editions died with them.
Hmmmm I'm thinking based. I don't see how anyone can really punk on them in earnest for bringing so many good games over here.
Back in my gamefaqs days all the nerds couldn't stop being autistic about the translations. Looking back, those idiots couldn't read Japanese anyway.
Of course. Same deal with the most of the people who bitch about it today.
I'm still mad my family's dog destroyed my Ghaleon punching puppet and I'm glad he's dead.
>Suikoden 2

Probably the original Paper Mario, or Radiant Dawn for the Wii. After that, it's mostly obscure games that don't really have much value, but have never appeared outside their home console, such as Azure Dreams and Dragonseeds.
Physical copy?
I got a gamecube version of Beyond Good and Evil.
Own a copy of the PAL version of this, it's super rare thanks to pixar suing rockstar. Only 300K copies exist.
Battle for middle earth 2
They lost the rights to keep producing/selling it.
Last time i checked it was 200€ for one copy.
Probably either Dragon Force for the Saturn or Dark Wizard for the Sega CD.
Ar Tonelico. The PAL release had a small print run that was only released in France, Italy and Spain
40 Winks for N64.
I got this for my birthday from a buddy when it came out because I'm a big Godzilla fan, played it a bit and thought it was shit, shelved it for like 6 years and then was randomly checking how much my collection's worth and this fucking thing is the most expensive game I own, its like $200.
