What's the rarest game you own?

[crux]

As an update, I just thought to look up my PC-FX titles on the Digital Press rarity guide. I now have two 8's (Chip Chan Kick and Super God Trooper Zeroigar) even a 9 (Kishin Doji Zenki: Vajura Fight), and a bunch of 6's and 7's besides. In fact, I only have two games for the system below a 6 rarity rating.

I think my rarest game is Ocean Commander for the PS2 as there are only a thousand sold solely to Italy Pal and the rest was suddenly scrapped because they decided on a Wii port .

My most expensive game is hard to say as I have lots of Japanese Shmups .

Super Mario RPG...

I'm kinda unlucky with rare games...

I don't really own many rare games. If I took a guess I'd say Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and paper mario on gamecube but even then I see them as more over priced than rare.

I own a few rare games. Probably my rarest are:

Mega Man 5 for the Game Boy
Mega Man for the Game Gear

Both complete/mint. I also own most of the other MM games that were released in North America.

I don't typically go out of my way to collect rare games, but here are a few I have that rate a 5 or higher according to Digital Press:

*Dungeons and Dragons, Order of the Griffon - 6 (Turbo Grafx 16)
*Ys: The Vanished Omens - 5 (Sega Master System)
*Gals Fighters - 5 (Neo Geo Pocket Color)
*The Next Tetris - 5 (Playstation)

The only two things I own rarer than a "7" according to Digital Press are:

Braindead 13 (PS1)
Psychic Detective (PS1)

I really wonder how they figure their numbers, how updated they are, etc. When I was hunting down PS1 longbox games there were certainly ones that popped up less than these two on eBay or elsewhere. I also am surprised that things like Spider Max 32X and Beggar Prince wouldn't be on their list. It doesn't seem to be based on print run, but on how frequently a game can be found. I am not sure I agree with all their ratings...

There is a scarcity value commonly appears next to the dollar value, and it represents a scale of 1 through 10 with 1 being the most common and 10 being the most rare. The following is the legend to use when viewing these rarity ratings.

* R0: Titles listed with a rarity of zero are simply games that were never released or require more research on our side. You’ll see this listed on ALL “Rumor Mill” entries.
* R1: These are the items you can find or BUY anywhere. When you find a bunch of games, these WILL be in the pile.
* R2: You can find these titles just about anywhere, too, but they’re slightly less common, perhaps in certain areas.
* R3: You’ll find these items through the proper channels (other collectors!), not as common “on the street”, but fairly common on the internet.
* R4: Things get a little harder here, as a title rated as such could have a lower production run, or other factors that pull it out of the common bin, but nowhere near rare. You can start calling titles from herein UNCOMMON.
* R5: The hunt begins. Five are the kinds of item you have to look for, but definitely always in reach.
* R6: If you see a six or greater, at least one of us had a problem finding the title. You call this VERY UNCOMMON if you so desire, or BORDERLINE RARE.
* R7: RARE. A true collectible! Sevens and up represent the “hardest” 25% of the games listed in this Guide.
* R8: We consider these the items you’ll never find by chance (except in those legendary lucky finds!). There are a few eights in this Guide that we haven’t gotten our grubby little hands on... yet.
* R9: The centerpiece of a collection make up the nines. If you ever hope to BUY one of these, prepare to write out a big check.
* R10: Not only is this the centerpiece of a collection, but a ten also means you could be holding a one-of-a-kind (certainly one of no more than a dozen or so) there - kind of like owning a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, or Issue #1 of DC’s Action Comics.

We include the scarcity ratings to address the need for a rating system across platforms. What we found out through many letters, e-mails and other excellent feedback was that prices provide a good baseline but were not addressing how difficult a cartridge might be to “find”. So we’ve done both for you. The scarcity rating provides a very simple one to ten system (a longtime DP tradition). “1” is the common doorstop. “10” is the item your friends want to steal.

Note that a "2" for the Atari 2600 should be just as easy or hard to find as a "2" on the Neo-Geo system. It's all relative across systems, not within them.
