There's something wrong here. You listed not uncommon or terribly valuable games x 3 and then a quite rare and very expensive game.

So the question has to be asked, whaddya want for Ogre Battle - Super Famicom?

It'd be nice if there was a utility online so you could check what the rarity and value of your edition of a game is in its condition. Best we got is seeing what people are overcharging on eBay :P

Anyway, I really don't know what I have that's rare. There's nothing explicit, like Stadium Events or anything.

I dunno, www.digitpress.com and www.vgpc.com are pretty good resources that I use.

I'd have to say either Skies of Arcadia: Legends or Conker's Bad Fur Day. I don't think Metroid Prime Trilogy counts as rare.

That's why you should check the auctions, not the BINs.

Auctions pretty much show what an object is worth...

According to www.digitpress.com Raystorm is my rarest game. I've also got Tomba! and Suikoden II.

I was able to get my hands on a beta Thrill Kill from long ago, I suppose that's pretty rare, too. Unfortunately all my rare games from the NES/SNES/Genesis days were sold long ago :(

I have quite a few rare PC games, but as far as console games I would imagine my rarest would be XCOM for the PS1.

Higher demand, higher prices...

Should've kept that Thrill Kill beta man... :o

EDIT Misread that. So I guess you still have it. Pics?... Backstory?...

How much did you get for it, if you don't mind my asking?
