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~
Not Radiant Silvergun, DracX: Rondo/blood, 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. :P

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.

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). :lol:

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). :D
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.
