Though I don't really know much about the rarity of my games, I'm going to have to go with Earthbound, since it seems to be the most valuable.

That is cool :!:

Saturn
Panzer Dragoon Saga

Jaguar
Air Cars

32x
Spiderman Web of Fire

Playstation
Lunar SSSC complete
Lunar 2 complete
Arc the Lad Collection complete

SNES
Earthbound

NGCD
Last Hope

Also have Factory Arcade Laser game M.A.C.H. 3. and home version of Astron Belt Laser Disc. Kind of boring without the game play Icons, just background aerial footage.

A little side note info, Anyone who is a videophile might want to bookmark this, a huge data base of obsolete video formats also great for researching movies and laser games:

My local arcade had a tempermental M.A.C.H. 3 and I can't tell you how much money I spent on it :D

I'm so glad someone has preserved it!

I was never any good at Dragon's Lair but my buddy's brother had everything memorized so I've seen it completed many times!

I don't have many rare games. I had a few moderately valuable games in high school, like the SMT Nocturne Special Edition, but I sold them for beer money in college.

The most rare game I've got now is probably Valkyria Chronicles. Which isn't saying much, considering you can still buy it on Amazon.

I have Captain Novolin for SNES - not worth anything, but very rare from what I've heard.

I have Snow Bros. for the NES and Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Saturn as well. Tomba and Xenogears - I don't know if those are rare or not, just know they go for a pretty penny.

Nice! I was best friends with Don Bluth's nephew when I was younger. Unfortunately, I never got to meet Don, but my friend and I were obsessed with Dragon's Lair. I used to have some Dragon's Lair trading cards. I just scanned through my card collection though and I don't appear to have them anymore. Oh well. I did find my Nintendo Super Power Club trading cards though. I forgot I even had those. I didn't want to bother with scanning images, but you can see what they are by clicking here.


I think the rarest "game" I own is probably the PS2 version of Linux I recently picked up.

Pretty wild you knew a relative of Don Bluth. Still in contact? Betcha he could probably get you one of those Dragons Lair Laser Discs. If you push it maybe the other discs such as Space Ace and even the entire cabinet, well maybe a long shot.

Yeah, that PS2 Linux disc great find!

Anyone try this data base link yet?
