Hahahah what the hell? This site's scores are beyond bonkers.

Super Mario World has a 72 percent rating? The game was a friggin' pack-in. There are more copies of it floating around than most people know what to do with!

I wouldn't trust that site for anything!

Yeah, some of the ratings had me scratching my head. I just saw it recommended earlier in the thread. Like I said, I only have three games I guess I would consider rare.
Mega Man 5 is probably the only one I see on your list (that I'm aware of) that I'd personally consider an actual rarity. You've got a lot of valuable games, but they aren't really the same thing as rare. If that's to be considered a good sampling of your collection though, it's looking great!

As for me, I had a nice selection of valuable titles and I'm sure a decent rarity or two before, but my collection has been dwindled down to a shell of its former self not long ago. Sold a bunch of stuff off to try and buy a truck from my aunt, only to have her later deny I ever paid her any money. I basically sold a ton of good shit for nothing. Chrono Trigger, Mega Man Legends 2, a healthy selection of Playstation 2 RPGs and Survival Horror games, and much more all gone with zero benefit.

Ugh it still frustrates me to this day.

Really?

I never really thought of Mega Man 5 as being that rare. The only reason I considered those three rare was because they weren't too easy to find. Especially in the condition I bought them in. Certainly, they aren't in the realm of games like Earthbound though. Thanks, that's a small part of my collection which continues to grow. I once considered selling it all as I don't play as often as I'd like to, but I'm infinitely glad I didn't. I can imagine how you feel. The money would be nice, especially right now for me. But I know it would just piss me off and I'd just buy them back anyways, at a loss most likely.
