So what′s the most rare or unusual game you have, for any game system? It doesn′t have to be a game with a big price tag, though. And I′m strictly talking about physical games here, if you bought Mr Gimmick for the NES on Steam it doesn′t count , neither do repros.

Speaking of which, I do have Mr Gimmick in my NES collection but only the game. As for unusual I have a 99% complete Action 52, the only thing missing is the special dust cover.

For the PC I have the KotN retail disc and it′s even sealed Not sure how rare it is but I haven′t seen that many out there so I consider it to be at least semi rare.

rare? well, I own several games that can be sorta hard to find due to only being produced in limited numbers, (Skies of Arcadia being my favorite), but I wouldn't really consider any of them truly "rare".. Uncommon more like it..



unusual? I was in a pawnshop few years back, saw a copy of pokemon blue for $1.25, so i picked it up.. however, its certainly not pokemon blue but just a very short and odd creepypasta-like ROM Hack.. I guess thats kinda unusual..


EDIT: Actually, i thought of an unusual game i have, buts its pretty common as far as I know.. Cool Spot, the things is just one giant product placement

I still have all my old CD-I games from when I was a kid. My favourites of those were a puzzle game called "Merlin's Apprentice," which I remember playing over and over and over, and a fantastically complex and gorgeously-designed Alice in Wonderland game that took my entire family aaaaaages of teamwork to beat the first time through, and after that my sister and I STILL just kept restarting it and playing it through again, because it took so dang long it never got boring and always took two of us to remember the right sequence of events. We also have a game called "Dark Castle" which my dad LOVED. It is, to this day, the only video game I have ever seen him play or express interest in. I remember it as being a really short game, like it only had 5 levels or something (??), but again, dad played it over and over, and we had it and used it for a long enough time to discover that on holidays like Christmas and Easter, the generic potted trees in the main hall level-access menu would have appropriate decorations on them.

My dad has talked about reading about Dark Castle, so maybe that one isn't too rare/unknown, but I have never heard of either of those other two games even mentioned in passing anywhere. I guess nobody wants to talk about the GOOD games that existed for the CD-I.

Yeah, I have that too. Forgot to mention it.

I have Battle Kid 2 somewhere

Probably my copy of Steel Battalion + the controller.

Probably Final Fantasy Adventure.

my friend has a game thats very unusual.. I think its called LSD Dream simulation or something? for the PS1? I saw him play it once, and I have no idea what the game is supposed to be about

Looks interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD_%28video_game%29

I guess it would be one of my imported games for the original Game Boy, PS1, PS2, DS or Wii. But they aren't really that rare, I mean, they may be rare here in Europe since they weren't released here but still had normal releases in North America. So maybe uncommon rather than rare

And I guess Morrowind CE is rare, not many of those were made, and the Ni no Kuni CE was sold out after the first weekend. Oh, and the PS1 JRPG Suikoden 2 was produced in limited numbers, so it's kinda rare, I suppose.

Heh, there's a game I haven't thought of in a long time, used to play it a lot back in the late 80s. It was http://www.mobygames.com/game/dark-castle/screenshots, I played it on the Amiga.

I'd say the most unusual one was the copy of Dead Or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball that I bought in Malaysia, which when I booted it up turned out to have all the girls nvde.

I own a bunch of rare n64 games like conkers bad fur day, goldeneye, Mario kart 64, super smash bros, perfect dark, Zelda ocarina of time, donkey Kong 64, demolition Derby, wargods, and a few more.

I own sonic and knuckles, sonic 2 and streets of rage for the Sega Genesis.

I own super Mario all stars, super Mario world, Zelda a link to the past and chrono trigger for the snes.

I own Pokemon crystal, fire emblem and fire emblem sacred stones, castlevania aria of sorrow, circle of the moon and harmony of dissonance, harvest moon, donkey Kong 1 and 2, and a few others for the gameboy advanced.

I have legend of dragoon, soul reaver, blood omen, ff8 and ff9 for the ps1.

I have San Andreas and Battlefront 2 for the ps2.

I Also own physical copies of morrowind, ultima iv, age of empires 2, Diablo 1 and 2, Warcraft 2, and quest for glory 1 through 4 on the pc.

And one of my friends owns the Atari ET game that was so terrible it was returned so many times the company went bankrupt and had to bury all of their extra copies of et in the desert to dispose of them.

Arcania (Gothic 4). Nobody bought Arcania so it must be rare

If we're really going for nerd points, I have The Lords Of Midnight and Wizard's Crown in a box somewhere.

Hmm. Not sure about "unusual" but I still have a number of pretty-old discs & cases. Like my Mac copies of Myst, Quake 1, Diablo 1, and System Shock. (Hmm, I think I still have my original 4-disc set - 3.5" floppies! - of Marathon 1 around here somewhere....)

...ooh, and there's my original Mac disc of Fallout 1.

Aerofighters/Sonic wings.
I do have Megaman 1-6
Earthbound... Was looking to find a repro of the uncut version.
Metal Warrior which I only bought to see if it was one I played back in the 90s.
...

I was actually going to start buying those plastic cases they have for the cartridge games

Oh yeah, I have the Amiga version of Myst, which is probably the least known Myst release. Heck, I guess all the Amiga games from 1995 or later can be considered pretty rare

Hunting Grounds and I'm sure I'm the only human in history with Unlimited Saga.

I had that then traded it in... Unlimited Saga.

I do have both Aerobiz Supersonic games wish I had the case and manual for the genesis though.

I have 2.

The Starcraft II Wings of Liberty Collector's Edition and an unopened Tetris for Gameboy that I won in the 90's on a Canadian TV Show called Video and Arcade Top 10.

I would have opened it but I didn't have a gameboy. Handheld games were rich kids toys.

haha, i remember that show, used to watch it all the time.. the show really started to go down hill around the late 90s/early 2000s, but i remember enjoying those earlier seasons

An unopened Tetris, cool

My family has Shaq Fu. We also got a copy of Warcraft II before it had an ESRB rating, and a copy of Starcraft from back when it had been rated M.

Two worlds..boy was that a dont judge a book by its cover (or game) if I ever saw one. I fell for that game haaaard!

Since the company as gone kaput and We wont be seeing anything more of it kindoms of amalur the reconing goes on the list.

Hero x!!" was a fun and cheesy super heroscifi game

Battle beast was a fighting game were you would get cute animals like a puppy and a rat and then they transform into vicious bipedal monsters...my favorite was the rat.

I have some obscure NES titles, (like Nightshade, Destiny of an Empire.) I don't even remember the others, I'd have to dig through storage to check, but nothing too special or worth more than $30 each.

None of those are considered rare though. They sold millions of copies, and can be found pretty easy.
Some can be a bit expensive because they are in high demand, not because of scarcity.
