What's your rarest game?

Postby Thoul » Mon Jan 7, '08, 4:13 am

If you've ever looked for a classic game on eBay, you've no doubt seen the plethora of auctions claiming that every game under the sun is a rare release. Some games really are as rare as they'd have you believe. When you look at the games you currently own, what do you think of as the rarest of them?

Dragon Force
Shining the Holy Ark

Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

My rarest, that I can think of offhand, are the Zelda games for the CD-i. I have all three, but the third is hard to get. After that, probably Star Ocean: The Second Story.

I don't think many people have Sim Town, the original "Sims" creations. XD Lessee, not a whole lot actually have Flicky, or any game that would appear on the Genesis collection XD. Uhhh, Defenders of Oasis is rare enough I spose.

Wow, so Star Ocean 2's rare? I wouldn't have thought about it, since my brother had a 2nd copy (which he eventually gave to me).

Ah, that was a fun one. I've wanted to get it for a long time, but it's really hard to find.

Well, it's not super rare I suppose, but it did have a limited print run. I don't recall ever seeing it for sale in any of my local stores when it first came out.
