/vr/ - Retro Games

Magical Chase.

ducktales 2, chrono trigger. i know theyre not rare but theyre very uncommon but its borderline rare

I don't think it's that rare but Harvest Moon 64.

wild guns, chip n dales rescue rangers 2.

thats about it, no point in owning rare games that suck or are not very fun to play.

I guess Earthbound? I'm still unclear if that game is legitimately rare or just simply gouged to hell.

>>1475331

Not rare.

>>1475331
Gouged. I bought it for $50 years ago, and saw it today on ebay for $150.

I dunno how to judge rarity. The most expensive thing I have is probably Mega Man 7. Still have the box and manual for it, though I'd never sell it.

Really nothing special at all. The most interesting is probably a v1.1 Ocarina of Time with the original Fire Temple Music.

>>1475331
Somewhat uncommon, hipsters have given it a reputation as the greatest game ever so demand for it has reach ridiculous levels.

Guilty Gear X Plus DX. Comes with a light up Sol statue, his sword as a metal key chain, a chibi Ky key chain and a DVD with the infamously bad animu trailer. The game itself contains the most obscene incarnations of Kliff & Justice to date.

Little Samson I suppose. I'm not too clear on which of my NES games are all that rare except that and the one in OP.

As far as /vr/ stuff goes, probably a complete, great condition copy of Tales of Eternia/Destiny II for the Playstation. Kind of shame that it got such a low print, given that it's a damn fine game.

>>1476185

This was given to me for free years ago. I didn't even know it was relatively expensive until I saw a thread on this board.

>>1475290
No prototypes or special releases? Those are some of the few truly rare things, anon. that's like asking "what is the most expensive meal that you've ever eaten? fast-food or fast-casual only"

PAL Panzer Dragoon Saga with cardboard sleeve. Had it for nearly 16 years, never going to sell it on.

I think it's Misadventures of Tron Bonne, but I don't have the MML2 demo disc that came with it anymore.

My old man gave me his Neo Geo AES system after I moved out. Have like 10 games or so with it. Some of them go for like $250 on eBay, but I dunno if that's any indication of their rarity

I also dug a TurboDuo out of our attic before I moved out

I have a complete boxed Castlevania Legends which was in a vingo. I don't really care about the dollar value, it's just one of my personal favorites and uncommon.

not /vr/ but I my rarest is a copy of NCAA 2K3 for Gamecube. got if for 2 bucks at a pawn shop.

>>1478914
Nice. Not sure about the rarity of AES games since the carts were always expensive and they have since become collector's items, but of course it depends on what they are.

As for the rarest (non-prototype, since those aren't allowed for some reason) game I own, perhaps either my Japanese Splatterhouse PCB, my Gradius II PCB (with two art cards and operator's manual), or my JP SFII WW PCB that has a game revision that I believe holds a revision that has only been dumped within I think the past year or so (which I guess makes it a rare revision).

Honestly, though, I have no idea how rare most arcade PCBs truly are, so take it with a grain of salt.

Aside from my prototypes and pre-production games, I'd say my pirated Pokemon carts for the Gameboy.

Vietnamese Crystal (the one with drugs, swearing and the Pokemon are all called "elfs"), a pirated version of Pokemon red, and some weird Sonic clone with Pikachu. Nothing too special, but they're pretty hard to come across based off of what I know.

If consoles are included: GB Boy Colour (GBC Clone with a backlight), and my Nintendo 3DS kiosk console (not a special edition, just never given to the public).

Hagane or aerofighters. Both carts have some e
damage though

Probably pic related. Didn't know it was expensive until I got home and did some research, apparently all these Sega NetLink games were released in very small numbers in the U.S. Damn shame too, it's probably become my favorite Bomberman game. Dat 10 player action.

Pic related, Swordquest Waterworld

Painstakingly assembled over the years just missing the original box.

How it yearns for completion.
I hear it weeping daily even though it receives my love, affection, and playtime.

Rarest I got is probably both variants of Bible Adventures, which I got cheap at a flea market not long after seeing the AVGN video of it and thinking, "hey, why not get both?"

I've never really been much into rare games though, so hard for me to say if I have anything valuable.

chinese bootlegs with mario heads in them

Is EVO Search for Eden rare?

I have a bunch of expensive games, but I don't think they're exactly rare, except this one which I'm not sure.

Quake 1, 2, and 3 in their original boxes. Had both expansions to Q1 too, but my dumbass father managed to throw them away.

>>1479591
Oh and I've a zx spectrum with a box full of games like attic attac, lunar jetman, knight lore, marsport and whatnot.

Dinosaur Peak

I have The Thing, but I don't know if it's that rare.

Had die hard complete in box, but traded it for cash and some actually fun games.

I've got these Before rare

And these

Too

Wait I forgot this

I guess it'd have to be a bootlegged copy of Pokemon Yellow that has a picture of Torterra (gen 4 Pokemon) upon boot for some reason. It seemed normal aside from that, never played it far enough to check though. Never seen another one like it anywhere.

>>1479714
Not rare atm (can be easily bought for around 5 bucks), but it's a very fun and very scary game.

However (sorry for speculating), I do believe within the next few years PS2 and Xbox survival horror games will rise in price due to playability and the genre in general just being timeless (hell games like Kuon, Rule of Rose, and Haunting Ground are already fucking expensive)

Probably English PAL Terranigma. As far as I know it had very little coverage in magazines and a low print, although German versions seem much more common. The gouging machine hasn't tainted it too much at the moment though, while NTSC reproductions often go for over double the price. I also got Fire Emblem Thracia 776 in box, which was one of the final physical games released for the SFC in 2000.

Also got some uncommon/gouged PC Engine games like Seirei Senshi Spriggan, Rondo of Blood and Soldier Blade.

>>1481025
I feel ya, anon. I've been looking for a cheap copy of Haunting Ground for a long time.

Dragon Ball Kyoshu Saiyajin on Famicom

>>1476351
i know, what am i going to do with this then?

this game is about as terrible as e.t. and superman 64 but still manages to find a resell value of over $50

and if you didn't figure it out it's ALF for the Sega Master System

Does Valis Complete count as a special release?

>>1481307
What's funny, Alf may as well be the American version of Takeshi's challenge. It looks about the same and sounds about the same, yet they were developed by two entirely different teams.

>>1478959

Search ebay for "hagane label".

eeeeegh, rarest is hard to say. if you mean money wise, just suikoden 2 or earthbound. if you mean rare wise i have a lot of those.
strider 2 (including both discs), tales of destiny 2, both lunars with everything + guides, etc. Every Atlus title on the ps1 that mattered (two copies of some including ogre battle and persona). SNES RPGs up the butt, name one I probably have it (though missing ogre battle on SNES :( )
I have some decently rare guides as well (xenogears, all of xenosagas including special editions..., two copies of the smt: nocturne guidebook including posters. Earthbound guide, secret of mana guide, the good ff3 guide...I just like to read them).
Not /vr/ but i do have cave story 3D, xenoblade, infinite space...that shitty robot game where you play the kid playing the robot.

And all I've ever wanted as my holy grail is a copy of Faselei! with the box.

:C

>>1481805
forgot to mention elemental gearbolt.

Should have Suikoden II somewhere and a complete set of Lunar for PS1. Also have most of the "sought after" RPGs for SNES.

>>1475304
where did you find magical chase?

not rare, but I own earthbound, duck tales 2, metal storm, gargoyles quest 2, mighty final fight, chrono trigger, and a few other uncommon games.

>>1480435

>Illusion of Gaia in box
>secret of evermore in box

Tengen Tetris.
I used to have a copy of S.C.A.T. as a kid, which I foolishly traded for fucking Ice Hockey. God I was so dumb...

>>1481993
I know that feel. Traded my copy of TMNT tournament fighters on NES for a copy of fucking lode runner. The things you do as a kid...

>>1482040
>>1481993
>Permanently trading games
You're supposed to just swap them for a couple of weeks like everyone else did.

>>1481074
I would love to own the German version being a German learning fag, but I felt their translation leaves a lot to be desired. I don't know enough German to tell you examples, but it felt poorly written. Like in the English version, when you go to the first tower. You get options like and this is paraphrased:

1. LET ME THROUGH I NEED TO HELP MY FRIENDS TELL ME HOW

2. STEP ASIDE

But with the German version the same multiple choice was just given "friendly" and "unfriendly"

>>1481805
>Every Atlus title on the ps1 that mattered

What are those that don't matter?

>>1480430
SCAT ISNT RARE YOU IDIOT!

>>1480435
Most of those games in that picture and presented here are Common as all hell

>pretending to not make Reseller Cannonfodder

>>1481976
this.
Damn you anon, I need both of those boxes.

>>1480429

>Tengen Tetris

You magnificent bastard.

im pretty cool

>>1480423
>tfw own Bubble Bobble 2 on Gameboy but not NES

It's such a fun game too

>>1480429
>>1483893
Is Tengen Tetris really that rare? I see them on ebay all the time and got one for only $40 or so

$3, shitty korean pawn shop. Traded it for a 3TB external 2 months ago. A decent game, but I would rather play it on SegaCD with 2P.

>>1484220
Somewhat, it was a lawsuit recall game but it also has the only 2-player version on NES.

I would like to find it in the wild, but I would have no issue paying $40 if I really wanted it.

>>1484234
I know the history behind it, I just figured if it was that rare, it'd go for higher and wouldn't be listed as often as it is. Because it's got the cool story behind it, it's held in high regard. As a Tetrus fan who owns it, I do prefer it to Nintendo's.

>>1475290
My rarest game is also probably Bubble Bobble Part 2 OP, it's a shame it's rare since it's debatably better than the original.

>>1487120
I definitely played it more than the original. It is a pity the NES port of Parasol Stars stayed in PAL

One of these days I'm going to figure out which box it's in so I can actually post my own photo instead of grabbing one off the net. Then stick it in an airtight box or something.

>>1483981
Wow that's amazing. Where did you get your copy of LSD?

>>1481238
not rare at all dude

>>1483981
Sorry but, this is probably the single most hipster thing i've ever seen on /vr/ ...

used to own a limited edition border down. sold during my drug addiction tho

>>1475334
Wow with it's current release on eshops people are still charging that for them. Amazing.

>>1488412
I feel you tho.

Stadium Events, Flintstones: Surprise at Dino Peak, Bubble Bobble 2, R.O.B. complete,... just to name a few.

>>1488903
>Stadium Events
Photo available?

Nothing I would consider rare though I've read Ninja Gaiden Trilogy among others is harder to get

Outside of SNES, also have Mega Man 6

>>1488929
Sure.

>>1488963
>MM1-6
>All boxed

neat
I'm not really a collector. Could you tell me what that is next to SMRPG?

Snatcher. I also have Keio Flying Squadron for Sega CD which apparently is pretty pricy now and I had no idea.

>>1488991
The one to the right is Earthbound

>>1488991
Yeah, my Mega Man games definitely look the sweetest setting up on my self. The game to the right of Super Mario RPG is Earthbound. Awesome, awesome game.

>>1488991
Harvest Moon

>>1488903
I've been trying to track down an NTSC copy of Stadium Events. Any advice or tips?

>>1489003
Or Flintstones. Or Bubble Bobble 2. Or Earthbound. Anon didn't make it clear in his question of "which" game he meant.

>>1489005
Yeah I meant to the left of SMRPG sorry

>>1489007
I found my copy online. Incredibly, the game store was within 50 miles of where I live. The owner showed me pictures of the game, and it was in amazing shape, so I thought it over and realized it was now or never. So I bought it. My dream is to own every officially licensed NES game sold to U.S. market.

As for tips... I just got lucky, myself. I Googled it under the shopping tab when I discovered it. You just have to keep a sharp eye and not give up on your hunt. It won't be easy to find. Do an internet search every now and then.

The PAL version is much more common. My version is indeed the NTSC version. I paid $4,000 for it. It will be a family air-loom to be treasured by my little nieces long after I'm gone. I'm not sure I could ever sell it. But if I did, the person would have to make me a KILLER offer.

>>1489018
>But if I did, the person would have to make me a KILLER offer.

I'll let you french kiss my sister

>>1489018
> My dream is to own every officially licensed NES game sold to U.S. market.
Welllll, you've cleared the biggest hurdle (no pun intended) and score most of the legit hard to finds, so you're well on your way. How long did it take you to amass those gems and how many more common titles do you have left to go? Best of luck to you.

>>1489037
I'm almost there! I still don't have Snow Brothers or Little Samson, though. And I still have a few more hundred of the common games to grab. (I went after the rare games, first, as there's no promise they'll be around tomorrow.)

Thanks for wishing me luck! The NES was the biggest part of my childhood. As much as I love collecting old games, I will openly admit that playing ROMs and emulators can be a much smarter and expensive way to enjoy old retro games! Haha

>>1489018
>drops $4,000 on NES game
>can't even spell heirloom

But seriously, cool you managed to grab it. It's always awesome when everything comes together perfectly.

>>1489047
*Inexpensive

>>1489048
Dude. I own Stadium Events.

Stadium Events.

I don't HAVE to spell heirloom correctly.

Seriously, though. Can you believe I passed my college-level English class with an A? Shame on me.

>>1489050
you won maaan

>>1489048
>But seriously, cool you managed to grab it.
nieces wanted college education or equivalent in medical care but I guess some terrible game that happens to be worth a small amount of money to a specific few at the time being will do.....
kek

>>1489424
Wrong. It's when the nieces resale the game thirty years later for a huge wad of cash when they really need it.

Owning Stadium Events = money in the bank.

>>1489018
>My dream is to own every officially licensed NES game sold to U.S. market.

Don't know if the same guy still owns every NES game ever, but there was a dude named "portnoyd" who was featured in a video game magazine years ago as a guy that owned any NES cart on the market. Not sure if that also includes the PAL exclusives but he bragged he owned every licensed and unlicensed NES cart

>>1489445
>thinking the bubble isn't going to burst
maybe if it was a hunk of gold that statement would be undeniably true, but we're talking about a shitty video game. also OP didn't post any proof, so he's probably just lying.

I have CIB Mega Man 8 on Saturn and CIB Popful Mail on Sega CD.

gotta be Sculptor's Cut for me

>>1489972
You seem to be implying that videogames were worthless prior to the boom. Even if it bursts SE will probably still be worth a few thousand. I personally wouldn't buy it, but still. I remember when MTG cards were hot and I got a Mox Emerald. Looking at it now, some 14 to 15 years later when as far as I can tell MTG isn't booming like it was in the 90s, it seems to sell for 3-4 times what was paid for mine. Even when the bubble bursts people will still pay a lot for rare games, because let's face it, the people who actually buy big ticket games and not overpay for common ones are actual collectors who will always exist.

For Dreamcast I'd say my Bleemcast! Gran Turismo 2 is my rarest title. The bitch can be really hard to find complete.

For Saturn I'd probably say my copy of Guardian Heroes is my rarest game although I also have Megaman 8, Herc' Adventures and Shining Wisdom.

>>1481238
Not the least bit rare, unless it's the gold version.

It was given out as prizes for some contest.

I own the Famicom version of Bionic Commando and Super Mario All Stars + World, both of which are relatively uncommon.

I got the former from some clueless seller for about 6 bucks, but I didn't even know of its rarity either.

>>1475290

Earthbound with the box and strategy guide.
I also have a single screen original Game and Watch that i got for like 2 bucks at a goodwill.

Is Bubble Bobble 2 rare? Hell, I never even realized.
Any others in here that are rare or uncommon?
I haven't bought a NES cartridge in 10+ years.
Actually just cleaned all of them just the other day. All of them are in working order, I was quite happy at that.

Yes, I know Adventure of Link and IronSword are out of order.

>>1490094
aside from mm2 I think just the Mega Man games are worth a significant amount, especially 5

Dracula's Curse, River City Ransom, and the gold cartridges could go for like $20 a pop I think

also did you beat predator too, that game was fucking infuriating

>>1490157
Predator is pretty bastardy, but I'd say Total Recall is worse by far.
I could never even get like 10 minutes in that game.

Also, my SNES collection. Not pictured: my copy of ZOOL, Ninja from the Nth dimension.
That game is pretty fucking cool.
I'd like to get Uniracers. I think that's about the only SNES game that I don't have, that I want.

Just realized I don't have a damn Super Mario Bros. 2. Dunno where my copy walked off to.

>>1490157
Not the guy you're responding to, but all these prices makes me wonder how much my NES and SNES collection is worth...

>>1490157
Not the guy you're responding to, but all these prices makes me wonder how much my NES and SNES collection is worth...

>>1490094
>>1490186
I beat Total Recall in what would have had to been a weekend considering it was a rental. Anyway, nice collection.

throwing some money on my paypal to pick up something rare in the next few weeks.
in your personal opinion, which of these games is the most fun to play? it's a toss up between getting two or three semi-rare games like gargoyle's quest 2 + sunset riders and maybe duck tales 2, or should I go full blown rare and get something like Hagane or E.V.O. ?

>>1493061
Gargoyle's Quest II

Snowboard Kids 2

Final Fight Guy

I played the shit out of it as a child so it's not near mint or anything. My babysitter gave it to me when I was a kid because he had two copies for some reason, but he only gave me the cartridge. The thing is when I was a kid I was a bit autistic about this stuff and I saved all the game boxes and manuals and stuff, so I probably would have saved the box two. Oh well. Feels cool knowing I have one of the top ten rarest games for SNES.

>>1493536
>top ten rarest games for SNES.
no

Guilty Gear X complete with the official PC gameport controller. Never seen it for sale anywhere else.

>>1481976
I have those both in a box, complete. The few SNES things that I have left. too bad I can't even check if the batteries still work. The boxes are banged up a bit. But I moved a lot. The other SNES games I have are Super Castlevania 4 (my sister threw all the packaging away). and Skuljagger. I know i's not rare and no one likes it, but a friend gave it to me. It had the comic and everything. And once again, my sister threw all the packaging away. How this happened I don't know. She's pretty stupid

I have Phantasy Star 2, 3 and 4 for Sega Genesis. But I'm not sure if they are rare. I also have the PSX Lunar games complete. I have a couple of non retro things that are a bit rare too. I now allow no one to touch or borrow anything ever. It's too expensive to replace things.

A lot of these NES and SNES games pictured I had rented at one point. Back then I would have had no idea what would become rare. I did have a copy of Tengen Tetris at some point. Probably from Game Gallery. At one point I had a lot of Tengen games.

Just sold my Project Justice Dreamcast for 100 bucks.

No regrets. Guy coulda ordered it online for less.

>>1490036
Mario All Stars + SMW isn't that rare at all

What's the best way to tell if something is rare?

>>1493970
the eBay listing says "LQQK RARE VHTF"

Nothing major. I hear that Cobra the Legendary Bandit for SCD is pretty rare, though.

>>1493061
If you really want Hagane, just get the SFC version. You can get it boxed for less than an NTSC cart

>>1488963
Would you consider selling Stadium Events?

>>1475290
Don't know if rare, but I have a complete set of maracas for the Dreamcast. Both sets are in their original boxes. I own a few more rare games for Dreamcast and other systems but I never see mention of Samba De Amigo maracas. Also, I have one of those official Sega replacement clear cases for the Dreamcast. Looks really nice. Been using it since back in 2000.

>>1475331
Uncommon + gouged
Anyone who says it's common is a shitposter

I have a special edition copy of Turbo Gameboy Wars, which if I understand right is semi-rare in Japan even but there's no demand for it so it's dirt cheap. Never seen anyone post about it on vr.

How rare is this?

just this, not rare i think but i never see boxed DW4.

>>1493061
sunset riders is fun coop, not too much single player. also i think snes is a bit better then gens.
hagane i never really liked. i remember renting it way back and thinking it was gonna be like ninja gaiden.

duck tales 2 is kinda just the first one all over again, i know sequel and all that, but i never enjoyed playing the second one after the first.

Found it on a flea market one day that seemed crappy for about 100 pesos. Like, 8 dlls.
Downloaded utopia bootloader and started playing it since.

>>1494220
not very. worth 15 bucks at most.

>>1494098
this is amazing advice, i just checked and i guess it's like 95% english anyway, so you'd be a fool to buy the ntsc version over the famicom unless you're autistic about collecting (which i'm not, I just enjoy playing on original hardware).

looks like i can snag hagane and some others at the same time

I just want to fit in /vr/ :(

I just want to fit in /vr/ :(

Summer Carnival 92: Recca. Complete.

>>1494710
It's actually great advice for any SNES action game. SFC prices haven't gotten utterly bloated like SNES prices have... yet. So you can save a lot of money on games that don't require much, if any, Japanese fluency.

mario types on 5 1/2 inch floppy, theres 6 instal discs and 1 play disc. probably worthless.

I don't think it's rare but in some sort of demand, a copy of Hard Corps complete in the box.

>>1494259
I liked the second one more than the first, but that is probably after I played that first as a kid

Only thing "rare" I have is Spear Of Destiny in good condition(box, disks, manual). Still have Quake 1 + Mission packs, Duke3d, Quake2 + Mission packs, Shadow Warrior, ...

Does anyone here own, or ever played/come across a cartridge of Nintendo World Championships 1990?

>>1495540
I'm the guy who owns the copy of Stadium Events (this guy >>1488963 )

I've met and traded with big-time game dealers. One guy I trade with has owned a full set of licensed/sold to U.S. market NES games twice. However, the both of us have NEVER seen Nintendo World Championships.
