Honest question: Why the fuck aren't optical media based reproductions a thing? Will they ever be a thing? I mean, time passes and copyright expires (or is abandoned) and if the developers can't be fucked to offer some readily-available digital version, why fucking bother paying hundreds of dollars? On PC, you have digital distribution, and even things like SteamGameCovers & GOG covers, but that's more for modern games (and very niche, not to mention amateur, especially in the case of the latter)
On topic, my white whale is SIlent Hill 2 for PC. I actually own the PS2 version, and the PC versions for 3 and 4, but God they're insanely rare (and even the PC copies of 3 and 4 I stumbled upon are the German versions, luckily they're multilang)
