Well, the thread should be rare as in few copies of the game. There have been lots of people confusing expensive (and old) for rare.
I would think any of Treasure's 1/10,000 copy games would be a valid rare game. Like Alien Soldier (MD), Bangai-O! (N64), etc~

Right. But look how many times FF7 is mentioned in this thread. It is not rare. It made GH. Heck, Digital Press' rarity guide gives a 1 out of 10. However people keep mentioning it as it has held value.

IMHO things with a rating of 6 or higher there are when we start getting into rarities. Not for Resale store demos and things aren't really listed there but should have fairly limited copies as well.

I have a black label copy of FF7 mint! The rarest game I own.

Re: What's the rarest game you own?
Not rare but definitely uncommon in most collections is Steel Battalion with Controller. I think this in itself is a somewhat rare game since only the die hard know of it. I think this could be my uncommon rare. Otherwise nothing else comes to mind off the bat.

I wouldn't consider it rare but I've only seen one other copy of Harvest Moon 64 other than my own soooo that'd be it i guess

Well I guess FF7 is a good thing for me (I have original JP & US copies).

But yeah, I off the top of the ol' noggin, I'd say my two rarest I own would be Alien Soldier (MD) & Bangai-O! (N64) (both complete and mint).

Oh also, Panzer Dragoon Saga (US) and De La Jet Set Radio (JP). Not hard to find I suppose but expensive a lot of the time.

I own a copy of this too but I doubt it's as rare as say the SNES one.
