I owned copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga and Earthbound, but not anymore sadly. I sold my copy of PDS to buy a 3DS, which I regret so very badly as the 3DS has been nothing but a paperweight. Just sold my second copy of Earthbound to buy some other stuff. The price on that game has gotten so high recently. The first copy I bought only took me down about $60, this second copy had me shelling out $160. Damn.

I'm not too sure what the rarest game in my possession is. Most of them aren't really rare to begin with. Maybe Harvest Moon SNES or something.

My next targets after I find a job are Sapphire and Cotton on PC Engine.

I remember that raffle, but not who won it. Any way what are some of the different stuff in the prototype. On a side note very sad to hear about Tony.

Damn, I hate you. (j/k)
I would love to get that game. The Saturn is my favourite console, and is the focus of my collection. I would love to have a rarity like that, but it's hard to justify $300+ for it.

As for my rarest item, I would say it has to be my Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire for the 32X complete with box & instructions. Picked it up new when it came out.

The games I like to collect are usually pretty common.

Probably "Demon Attack" CIB for Odyssey 2.

I have a few rare games: Akumajou Dracula X (Sega Saturn, brand new), Earthbound, Castlevania Dracula XX, Hagane, and BIOHAZARD Trial Edition (PS1, brand new).

The most expensive one on the list is surprisingly BIOHAZARD Trial Edition, which cost be a little under $200. I have two copies of Biohazard Trail Edition, and the second one is open, but in mint condition. I got the open one for $105 from a guy on THIA. I bought it with the intention of making a back-up and playing the back-up.

I have about 5 Tandy Color games - they're "rare" in the sense that I doubt anyone else on this forum owns them.

I also doubt that I could get more than $1 apiece for them. :lol:

I'm not sure which is rarer, Earthbound or Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

Earthbound probably of those two.

Proud owner of the Prime trilogy myself as well.

I know it's the more expensive of the two, but I think it's more out of demand than supply.

Either Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru for the Saturn, or Ecco the Dolphin: The Tides of Time for the Master System. I think Space Manbow for the MSX2 or Metal Gear 2 both had similarly low print runs, but that's just hearsay.
