Atm I have Return Fire for PS1 with the old school case and everything... For some reason I rarely see it that often on Ebay.. I also had this game called Jupiter Strike for PS1 but I sold that a long time ago(the game sucked btw)..

Could go to http://www.digitpress.com/ and check the rarity guide on the left for a general idea.

I've thought about posting a few new rarities I've managed to get in here again. Though it just occurred to me that pretty much any 'not for resale' press or store demo version of anything is going to be rarer than a retail release of something aside from any (truly) limited version of a game where there's 100 copies. I don't consider something all that limited when there's 20,000+ copies of it.

Alien Hominid GBA isn't even listed. Invader GBA says Rarity = ? :?

I agree. I have a pretty sizable selection of homebrew titles, but counting them as my rarest titles seems like cheating (they were limited in supply because they were limited in demand). Though sometimes the demand of homebrew games can be large. I bid, what I thought was a highball bid, $132 for Gorf Classic CD for Jaguar. It sold for $645. The Neo-Geo home cart for Last Hope recently went for something like $1800 (though it was somewhere around $550 in the first place).

Anyway, in terms of hierarchy, I think rarity goes homebrew < obscure consoles < prototypes/unreleased games < licensed releases. Stuff like demos I think can go anywhere between.

I have a few that aren't on there either, mostly imports. That's why I said a 'general idea'. :wink: I don't think I've seen NFR versions on there either.
