I've got Conker's Bad Fur Day. Wasn't aware it was that rare. I consider having both gold Zelda NES carts a lucky find, as well as the two GCN collector's discs. I think people consider House of the Dead 3 and Indigo Prophecy to be rare Xbox finds, but I really can't tell with the way Gamestop jacks up prices for old games.

I remember having such a hard time finding Persona 3 that I bought both P3:FES and P4 on launch day. Shame neither of those ended up being as rare.

BFD sold like 700.000 cartridges worldwide, while Super Mario 64 sold over 6.000.000 games worldwide that's why BFD is considered rare.

I also have BFD and i don't know if Castlevania Legacy of Darkness it's rare or not but i got it for like 5$ so...

DAYUM. Still in box? Did it come with the guide? The cart itself is an awesome find.

Nah, just the cart. Label's a little rough, but still my heart jumped when I saw it. Definitely not a bad pick up.

I've actually heard that the grey Zelda carts are considered rare. I assume that's because they were a re-release. If that turns out to be the case, it may be one of the rarer NES game I own, although none are all that rare. Gargoyle's Quest II, Metal Storm, and Mighty Final Fight would probably be the ones that stand out.

the rarest game i have is probably conkers bad fur day for the n64 or ducktales 2 for the nes whats yours ?

Nice. Ducktales 2 is a game I would love to add to my collection.

SNES

I have some good rarer games on the SNES including boxed copies of Chrono Trigger and Earthbound, and cartridges of Demon's Crest and Robotrek. By far the rarest SNES game I have is E.V.O. Search for Eden. Had to drop $60 on that one in a pawn shop, but compared to what it goes for on eBay, it was a good deal.

N64

Nothing too special here. Rarest would probably be Goemon's Great Adventure.

GCN

I have the Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition disc for the Gamecube.

Earthbound with everything but the cardboard insert to keep stuff from moving around

Chrono Trigger almost MINT with everything in great shape

Final Fantasy VII (2 complete and 1 incomplete) 1 Greatest Hits, 1 Black Label, and 1 missing game disc 1 but has the Masterpiece misprint on the case art

I think those are my rarest.

 Then you got the standard semi rare ones like Alundra, Lunar SSS and Eternal Blue, all 4 original .Hacks complete, the Lufia games (only missing the GB one)

 I have a great condition copy of Heart of the Alien for Sega CD but don't even want it.  Nor do I have a SEGA CD. My brother in-law got it at salvation army for a buck.

probabley the most rare game i own is Kakuto Chojin on xbox it got pulled/banned for offending lyrics on one of the end songs for the fighters , never played it heard the game sucks lol  but think its funny they banned a game for an "offending song" with all the other stuff in games some groups find offensive lol

You wouldn't consider selling this to a fellow TCPer for a good price...? ;D Want this but never saw it for a reasonable price.

A yes and my rarest games are

Saturn:
Panzer Dragoon Saga - PAL

NES:
Stadium Events - complete - new(but box is worn from storage) - German-PAL

A yes and a complete copy of Kizuna Encounter for the Neo Geo AES - EURO! ;) It is a disputed one though and not proved to be 100% original. Got it at a flea market in austria some years ago.
2 + 3 = 23

Wow, nice set.  I've never met someone who actually had Kizuna Encounter, I thought all the copies were held by mysterious shadow people that never talk about it.

My rarest games probably all fall into SegaCD realm: Snatcher, Keio, Space Adventure, and Championship Soccer 94'

I've also got a full set of all the Working Designs releases (minus Assassin's case), but those are only moderately rare; also a lot of miscellaneous Saturn/PS1 games.
