/vr/ - Retro Games

Super Metroid is my most valueable game, but i love the other 3. REmake is rare here in Mexico.

Back in the mid 90s when everyone was obsessed with playstation and final fantasy 3, super mario rpg, and the commercial advertising FF7 I got my hands on mega man 1, 2 & 3 (already had 4, 5 & 6 from my previous three b-days) at a flee market, thanks to my dad, for $30. Only thing missing were the boxes and all were mint. (and still are!)

Other than that, maybe my ocarina of time that is the 2nd model code???
>3 carts made
>glitchy cart, good cart, shit cart with elements changed and things removed because religion
>I got #2

I guess I could throw in lunar 1 & 2 (ps1 "complete" versions with all their goodies) with their weird manga-style strategy guides to match as well.

Sealed copy of Night Trap for Sega CD. I'm planning to keep it sealed.

Well I have CIB Japanese Pokemon Stadium for the N64

A local retro vidya store also had a copy and was trying to get $100 for it

what is going on here?

>>1754607
Probably some Gamestop worker having fun with the tag printer.

>>1754471
What will you do when the re-release happens?

Didn't feel like looking up the value of each game in my small collection, these appear to be the "rarest" or "most expensive" games I own though. Nothing special, got them all at thrift stores cheap. Buying a boxed bootleg-not-bootleg copy of Snake Rattle 'n' Roll for the Mega Drive/Genesis soon though.
Fuck. Resellers.
Not pictured: I guess all the Wario Land games? Metroid 2? I don't know what constitutes rare, $15 is plenty much for me.

>>1754627
I will buy the re-release so I don't need to open the original. Who knows, may it will be more valuable after people get more interested in it?

>>1754650
Re-pro next to RCR....BARF!

>>1754686
I could care less.

>>1754694
that face on the sight makes me feel really fucking uncomfortable and uneasy

>>1754706

>>1753227
Not particularly rare but some a pretty valuable.

>tfw i still vividly remember opening up my brand new sealed chrono trigger that i got on my 8th b-day
>mom took the manual and added it to the rubber banded stack with all my other video game manuals
>the box was crushed up and thrown in the trash the same day

Same story with every other SNES game I owned; many of them would be really valuable today. Donkey Kong Country, Link to the Past, F-Zero, even Illusion of Gaia that had a mini-strategy guide/walkthrough in the manual and and giant map poster.

If I had taken better care of my games and kept the boxes and manuals all those years ago I'd have a really impressive collection. But I lost essentially every single game and console I ever owned as a kid, including handhelds, when my parents got divorced and moved.

>>1754737
Wow, that sucks. The most we can do is raise the future generations to take care of their games.

>>1753227
Conker's rare alright, but not in the way you think.

>>1754737
I think that happened to a lot of us. I still have most of my manuals, but the boxes are long gone. I have a few that, for whatever reason, my grandmother had saved. It's the only reason I have any boxes at all. Fortunately, she saved the one for probably the most expensive game I have.

>>1754737
>But I lost essentially every single game and console I ever owned as a kid, including handhelds, when my parents got divorced and moved.
Why would they separate you and your games because of that? What use would either of them have for those?

>>1754792
>What use would either of them have for those?
money

>>1754806
shit nigga u rich son

Convince me not to seal the deal on a buy-it-now Tron Bonne for like 180 bucks.

I dunno what it is... but i'm just going LOCO tonight.

Games both rare and pricey.

I also have a travel bag and RF adapter to go with the lightspan set.

Hard Corps probably doesn't belong here, but it's the only naturally expensive game in good condition I have for Genesis (as opposed to only being rare because it's imported).

>>1754834
>Demon's Crest
I will own you...
Some day my friend...

>>1754839
Keep the dream alive, man. I found that at a goodwill for $3. First SNES game I owned. Had to go out and buy a Super Nintendo just to play it.

>>1754853
$3‽ Jesus fuck, I'm gonna have to start going back to thrift stores and garage sales.

>>1754773 here, I was just looking at the box and cartridge and I noticed this. It appears to be the Mexican version, even though it's totally in English. Is this a normal thing? I mean, I bought it brand new back in the day, and it wasn't in Mexico.

>>1754607
Supply and Demand. Lots and lots of Demand.

>>1754858
Thrift stores have caught on now but you can occasionally find something if you keep looking. Yard sales are probably your best bet but they're always a hit and a miss

>>1754867
Yeah, I remember finding maybe one decent game for every 20 garage sales I went to.
The thrift stores here appear to be pretty inane, I snagged a loose cart of Knuckles Chaotix for $5 a few months ago.

>>1754862
they were mass produced in mexico back then. they were both sold in mexico and the U.S.

>>1754862
>Megaman 7 *RARE* Beaner Version

>>1754792
I was 15 at the time. Mom and siblings were moving to a new city with the new husband whom I resented deeply at the time so I refused to go. Dad went and moved into some roach-infested shit shack which I wanted to part of. I got away with living on my own for a few weeks until Mom's divorce attorney got wind that I was living by myself. So I was forced by the authorities to go live with my grandmother.

Grandmother was a hoarder so I didn't even have the room to move in all my video games or my computer. I eventually managed to move my computer but 2 or so weeks later the old family house was foreclosed on and all my games gone.

The only games I have left are Chrono Cross (black label), Final Fantasy VII (shitty green label), Final Fantasy IX (missing a disc) NES Pinball, and mother fucking Super Battleship for SNES.

That anon I saw in /v/ posting this plus the manual around?

>>1754862
Yes. All games made after a certian date were made in Mexico... I think it's games after mid93 or 94. Chrono Trigger, for example, is all made in Mexico. Kirby Super Star is another example.

>>1754710
Didn't this have some creepypasta to accompany this face that originated from /x/?

>>1754727
>Super Mario RPG in shit condition is worth $45
wow
I didn't even know
I feel slightly richer

>>1754873
>>1754930
Yeah all games were made in Mexico but that was a game produced for sale in Mexico and Latin America. Compare sales of SNES games in US/CA versus Mexico/Latin America.

Not that it has a HUGE affect, but I imagine that raises the value a few dollars considering it's a less common variant.

Creepy as the original illustration is, to see it rendered is really freaky.
Kinda want to print out copies and stick it on the inside of bathroom stall doors.

>Kinda want to print out copies and stick it on the inside of bathroom stall doors.
... do it

>>1754901
(spoiler)tough tittys(/spoiler)

Had Castlevania: Bloodlines NiB.

I decided to play it.

>>1756769
Is Harvest Moon 64 rare? I accidentally stole that shit from a library like 12 years ago.

>>1756774
Rare-ish. It's not anywhere near the level of Worms Armageddon, but it still goes for around $40-50 online.

All my best games are those that I got as a kid when the GameCube was new and N64 carts were dirt cheap. Nothing astounding, but I wouldn't want to shell out to replace any of them today.

The OoT is version 1.1 like >>1754452 's. Qur'an verses and real blood FTW. I doubt that makes it rarer, though.

I think these are mine. I have shit like conkers but its only like 60 bucks and I have a lot of games in that range tenchi wo kurau, tenchi wo kurau 2. I have no idea what a lot of my shit is worth now though because I don't keep up I noticed the japanese SFC dracula x shot up to about 65 dollars. Glad I only paid 20 for mine.

>>1757448
ah I notice metal black has actually went down in price too. The version I have used to fetch 100 dollars even but now they are around 65 which is good cause it's a great game.

I've been at 60% on this portion of my collection for about a year now. I just.. Gave up. Even though the remaining games are the cheapest of the bunch..

>>1757483
those are rare

Terrible pic.

>>1757663
Timestamp?

>>1757692
It's fake, one of first pictures on Google Images when you type in "nwc cart"

I think this is the cream of my crop for my retro collection. It really isn't anything to brag about, but whatever.

Why are the Goemon games so fucking expensive? Enough people bought the first N64 game in the US to warrant the localization of the sequel.

>>1757734
Both N64 games are only about 30 bucks online. That doesn't seem terribly expensive to me, especially compared to what most of the games posted in this thread go for. Plus, we all know the number of copies sold doesn't necessarily correlate to the price. Earthbound sold over twice as many copies as Mystical Ninja did, but it's retardedly expensive.

>>1757758
It's not terribly expensive, but it's not cheap either. I managed to obtain both N64 Goemon games cheap from thrift stores, since I'm cheap I rarely resort to buying games online. And Earthbound sold twice as many copies as Mystical Ninja? Damn, that's rough.

I have a ton of rare/valuable stuff, especially for the Saturn, but I didn't want to inundate the picture, so I just grabbed the most expensive thing I have for each console that I play.

>>1757773
Earthbound really didn't sell as poorly as people trying to sell the shit for 700 bucks want you to believe. Earthbound is not rare. There are 30 or so copies on eBay every goddamn day.

Not my rarest/most valuable game, but I got it for 50 cents at a yard sale so I was happy.

I also have copies of the first 3 multi track drifting games from Japan.

How rare they are, I dunno. And not really retro, but I can't say I have seen anyone else with physical copies that isn't in Japan.

The one of the bottom (too lazy to take another pic with the game alone), I don't think its rare at all, but it's my most valuable game, at least for me.

Probably my mint copies of Chrono Trigger and Secret Of Mana. Dunno how much they are worth today, but I paid like 100 bucks ten years ago.

>>1754853
Yeah, what this guy said, I found mine in a bazaar in mexico for 20 pesos.

>>1757869
Why do you have 2 copies of CT?
Would you consider selling one?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Counter-Strike-Sega-Genesis-Mega-Drive-/111404251780?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item19f035fa84

Every time

>>1757924
Are you fucking for real

>>1757930
Only if you know what that is and don't assume that it's just a Stadium demo stand like every other fag does.

>>1757932
Pokemon Snap print station?
They really exist?

Repost, but here's a little assortment shot I did awhile ago.

Treasures I recently acquired, but not pictured: Tengen Tetris CIB, Megaman 5, .hack Quarantine

>>1757934
They shouldn't exist since Nintendo ordered all of them to be sent back and destroyed/converted into Stadium demo stands (hence why they all have an advertisement for Stadium on them), but some Blockbusters didn't send them back.

>>1757934
How in god's name did you never set foot in a Blockbuster in 1999

>>1757932
But you really have one? How did you get it?

>>1757940
My uncle used to own a Blockbuster and, for some reason, decided not to send the Snap station back when Nintendo told him to. Years later when he shut down, I asked him if I could have it and he said if I didn't take it then it was going to the dump.

>>1757943
>Send it to the dump
Well, it's certainly better than selling it.

>>1757950
When you own a business and have to liquidate a warehouse full of stock in a week with no employees, it's not worth it to sell things for peanuts to make a few dollars back. If you owned a business in the first place then you should have had a backup plan/fund for years just in case.

>>1757939
Because I'm Australian.
We have Blockbuster here, but as with everything else fun the Snap Stations never found their across the Pacific.

>>1754827
Don't do it, no matter how tempting it may be

Be patient, fellow /vr/trooper and wait until either an auction or a buy-it-now+make offer one comes along.

It will come, it took me a year and a half, but I was able to secure my Tron Bonne at a price I was happy with ($112, more than I was willing, but still)

Patience, child, and keep on hunting

Do it for Miss Tron!

>>1757663
Pat, what are you doing on /vr/?

1 of 2

Not all retro but i did get these all in the same place for a cheep price

Zombies Ate my Neighbors is really that expensive of a game? I found it at a garage sale for 50 cents and bought it because of the name alone. I haven't even played or tested it yet because I thought it was just random garbage.

Huh. I guess I'm living under a rock or something. Maybe I can trade it for something I want but don't wanna pay for.

>>1753227
this one's pretty genuinely rare

Not too impressive.

>>1757918

I first bought just the cartridge and then some guy sold me the box for about five bucks. It's in poor condition and everything else is missing. In other words, there's no point in selling it, so I use it when I play the game. Then I bought the complete mint copy a few years later.

>>1758048
Virtua Racing is rare?
I have a boxed copy missing a manual and whoever owned it (presumably some kid) PERMANATELY etched his name, mailing address, town, and state onto the face of the cartridge.
Bastard.

>>1757869

Some more of my collection. I don't know if any of these are rare or worth anything. Got all of them for less than fifty bucks each. Some were nearly free.

>>1758058
I'm not sure if its rare, but its valuable as it cost a little more than the other ones in my collection bar the 3 other MD games there.

I have an SNES copy of Harvest Moon, I remember getting it off the internet when ebay was relatively new (At least new as in a public knowledge thing I guess). I read all about it in Nintendo Power and really thought it was cool, my mother agreed to buy it because it was a game without violence which she really approved of.

>>1758061

I also have FFI and FFIII for the Famicom. Got them after I took this picture.

>>1758048
>>1758062
In fact, I have no idea what's rare and what isn't... So I layed out my entire cart collection. Does /vr/ see any interesting ones?

>>1758091
Shit fucked it up. Need to delete.

>>1758048
>>1758062
Yeah, I have no idea what is rare and what isn't. So here's my entire cart collection... Does /vr/ see anything interesting?

>>1758069
FFII and III aren't particularly expensive to obtain, even boxed. FFI goes for a bit more, but not significantly much. Especially considering you noted you got those other games for as much as/under $50 each.

>>1758095
forgot pic

>>1758098
Game Gear represent.

>>1758102
I'm a SEGA fag, what can I say.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Blade-Power-Blade-2-Nintendo-1992-/201123165879?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2ed3dff6b7 What a steal!

>>1758096
Why is it every time I look for used SNES games that price they are Clayfighter or Lion King with the labels ripped off and look and smell like they've past through the digestive system of an elephant? You can't honestly tell me you paid $3 bucks for each of those in that condition at Goodwill. I don't believe that for one second.

>>1758096
Do they really have to plaster the price sticker right on the label?

>>1754409
I own literally all of these except for REmake. I don't consider them to be rare, just highly sought-after.

it's not a game but i do have the Sonic Team VMU for the dreamcast. I don't have camerica on hand so here's a stock photo. I also have the Segagaga one aswell

>>1754834
>dat tron bonne

>>1758152
It's not every week I find stuff like that. Those games were from years ago. This one too.

>>1758171
I figure it's some combination of the pricing gun to being able to easily tag the plastic areas, (the label is flat and smooth,) and on the plastic it's easier for people to peel the tag (to swap with another, cheaper one.

>>1758196
pricing gun *not* being able to grab the plastic areas

>>1758190
oh and i have the 5 limited Sega dreampoint bank controllers as well i cant find any good pictures on them on google right now. But the 5 patterns are Leopard, oak, Marble, Carbon and Camouflage. There pretty cool and im happy to have them. I have Deathrace on the nes and Lunar 2 on Sega CD

tetris v1.0

the tengen nes version is my next goal

I don't think any of those are extremely rare, but I believe some have been getting high in price as of late, like Smash 64, not sure, not a collector so I haven't been keeping up with current prices.
I think the actual most rare/valuable game there is Bangai-O

>>1758096

I'm usually against death penalty, but there's just no excuse for doing this.

>>1757483
Damn anon. That is devotion. How many are there is these?

>>1757483
Damn anon. That is devotion. How many of these are there? What are the games stacked in the left?

>>1758414
>How many are there is these?

>>1758415
Auto correct, bro. Was supposed to be 'of these'

>>1754827
What condition is it in?

>>1758191
Rescued that from the Babbages bargain bin back when Babbages was still in existence and PS1 was dying out. Didn't even know it was rare until recently.

For those games that are only rare because they're a short print run at the end of a console's life, you've just got to impulse buy and get them when they're new.

>>1757869
>US Games
>PAL SNES
why

A nice little collection of rare/expensive games and stuff. Stadium Events being my highlight, I suppose.

I don't know if rapid reload is worth anything but i do know its rare suidoken 2 i picked up second hand for £6 in a British game store and I got the DOOM comic for 50p in a charity shop last year

>>1758590

My fiancee has Earthbound and Megaman X3. They'll be mine as well when we marry.

Gimme 5 to grab the tablet.

>>1758665
oops yeah I was the guy with R type 3.

my full snes collection. My first week collecting them.

>>1758682

>>1758682
>>1758693
Or these.

>>1758682
>r type III
nice dude

I got r type 3 for free. My Friend was cleaning his room and said "you want this game? I don't need some random snes game." stunned I say "Oh gee thanks friend."

>>1758710
it's great, and getting harder to find cheap. i'm jelly, take care of it bud.

>>1758527

It's modded and I live in a PAL country.

>>1757996
People see this game and value it a decent price.

"zambi"

I left my video game collection with my younger brother at my familys house. And I just keep sending him more games. So I have this library of all the good games since the nes and I dont know what to do with it since I emulate everything on a wii :\

>>1758273
If you don't actually have a Virtual Boy to play Wario Land on I'm going to be very disappointed.
>>1758693
SNAKE RATTLE N ROLL
MY NIGGA

Nothing on the level of Panzer Dragoon or anything, but I'm happy I own Lunar.

>>1759679

Of course I have a VB, I also have Teleroboxer, Golf and Mario's Tennis.
I want to get more games, or the VB flashcart.

My collection is nothing but sentimental.
I'm just lucky all the games I love are dirt cheap.

>>1759679
So many hours of uncoordinated feet licking

>>1760317
Uncoordinated? Snake Rattle 'n' Roll is plenty easy to control, it's in level 5 where those magic carpets fuck you over. I've lost lives and continues to those fucking magic carpets.

>>1757697
>>1757697
Well it's real, just not a picture that anon took.

>>1753227

I have a few rare games, all work.

>>1760581

Got these two for less than $30 for both.

>>1760321
Shit I completely forgot about those! Those bast Ards were the beginning of rage quits.

>>1760581
I just very recently got into Earthbound(I know, I'm a bit slow...) but I am very into it and very saddened by the price(the reason I tried staying away from it for so long, my autism drives me to own everything physical) How did you get yours? Did you pay full price?

>>1760581
>Earthbound
>Rare

I love the game, but come on. It's not rare by any means.

>>1760585

Here's the stack. It's grown quite a bit and I've managed to alphabetize and reorganize it since.

>>1760612
Granted. It's still sought after.

>>1760605
I paid ripoff prices too. Then a few weeks later Nintendo slapped it onto the VC and I expected it to go down. Oddly, it hasn't affected the price at all. Really, I don't worry too much for money anyhow, so it hardly matters if I spend my monthly budget on a single game or a dozen.

>>1757939
My dad married a lady who had a massive amount of late fees piled up over there so we went to Hollywood Video instead.

I own not one but TWO copies of the very limited No For Resale edition of Sonic 2. Top that one PDS owning fags.

>>1757612
>Metal Warriors
My jealousy cannot be matched. I know one day I'm going to buy one of these for god knows how much.

Makes me kind of sad that I don't own any rare retro video games. All my rare/expensive stuff is 6th gen and up. .hack// tetralogy, .hack//GU trilogy, just about every NA limited edition SMT game, and more

I have JSRF, I'm trying to sell it.

>>1758061
>for less than fifty bucks each

>SLINKY

Glad I'm not the only one who likes these.

>>1761245
Games aren't worthless, but yeah there's very few SFC games I'd drop 50 bucks on. I usually don't want to spend more than 35 for a complete game, and even that's pushing it a lot of the time.

>>1761372

I got it shortly after it jumped in price. Had to pay $40 CIB.

Here's a picture from today. Not pictured visibly is Sunset Riders, Alien Hominid, Mario Kart 8, and El Shaddai since those are in other rooms.

Still need to get Metal Storm and Return of the Joker for NES, Space Silicon Valley for N64, and a few Gamecube and Wii titles but I'd say my collection is near complete.

Super Starfox Weekend and MUSHA

Actually, is MUSHA rare or is it just the Genesis equivalent of Earthbound.

>>1761460
If it's not, Centy might be getting close to it. I's looking pass up Musha at this rate.

>>1761460
No it's actually rare.

>>1763760
>>1763775
Nice!

1 of 1000
I won it in a Nintendo Power contest

>>1764924
I participated in this contest.
I lost

>>1764924
You sir, have earned my jealousy, and have won the thread so far

I didn't even think it was possible to win in those NP contests (my young mind assumed they were rigged), I entered so many and never won anything...

>>1765094
Hah, the only game mag contest I ever entered, I clearly won, but they NEVER gave me the prize. It wouldn't be suspicious, but they never announced the winner in the issue that was to have announced the winner of that contest. Issue before that one had the previous contest winner, issue after, had the contest after. The issue it would have been announced in said nothing about the contest.

Not my pic but got a near mint copy for £5 in CeX, was just in the front window when I was walking past one day.

>>1763760
Fuck, i wish i lived in mexico in 2008

Policenauts Pc98 and the MSX2 Snatcher+SD Snatcher are pretty rare I guess, love to have them.

>>1765556
Sup Slowbeef.

>>1765556
fuck, very nice collection, where'd you find that policenauts poster?

a lot of stuff(including the poster) is from 'pyhod000' on ebay. He doesn't have much stuff up at the moment, but he cycles through stuff. He charges a lot though and doesn't really negotiate.

>>1765572
meant for
>>1765569


I like my collection, but I don't think it's very /vr/ since I didn't really go thrifting out to goodwill or whatever(that scene doesn't exist in my country), I just spent a bunch of money on ebay and yahoo auctions

>>1765576
goodwill/garage sales aren't the most reliable way to collect, it's just that sometimes you get lucky so it's worth it to check those things out if you have access.
Anybody with a nice collection buys stuff online.

Some of my favourite PAL PS1 games

>>1765660
And my NTSC PS1 games

Rule of Rose is probably the rarest I own, couple others thrown in there

>>1765678
fucker didn't post

>>1753227

The only N64 game I could find the box and manual for was Ready to Rumble Boxing Round 2. Mint condition, label is still glossy, box and manual have no tears or folds.

Checked out ebay and amazon, whoops. Most I could get is maybe $20.

>>1765670
you're missing Suikoden II

Panzer Dragoon Saga PAL. Still have the cardboard box that the two cases go in but it's a little damaged. Cases, discs and manual are mint though.

>>1754862
It was probably a re-release by majesco?

but they only do their manuals in black and white

probably just the cheap labor in mexico that they used to mass produce it

>>1765816

Forgot pic. I keep the discs in separate cases so I don't have to open the box whenever I want to play it and I usually keep the box bubble wrapped. Eventually I'll just back up the discs on CD-R and keep them in the box full time.

Reading this thread I have realized I now own quite a few rare games and my collection is actually more than just decent. Woah.

Ignore the GC games.

Ah, I keep seeing games in this thread that were stolen from me in the past, and all it does is... well, can't say, it would be admissible as evidence.

I have Tail Concerto. I didn't even know it was going for so much. I also have both PSX Lunar games and a complete Illusion of Gaia and a complete Secret of Evermore. Can't play either because no SNES.

I have some non-retro valuables like Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus, Zelda Collector's Edition and Master Quest for Gamecube and .hack//Quarantine for PS2.

I'll never let it go. I'll never let it go. I tell myself I'm not mad at her. I don't want to be. It's all moot now since my Wii can play any NES game I want, but I'll never let it go.

>>1766521

It's never too late to start over, anon.

Did you get other systems thereafter?

>>1766521

Parents are dumb as shit when it comes to games unfortunately. Or at least ours were. Luckily our kids will have more tech savvy parents.

>>1766531
Yeah, games have been the one constant in my life. I've been through a lot of systems.

As far as retro systems go I've got a Super Nintendo with some games; my collection's in an OP pic in another thread on the front page here take a guess which thread it is. I've considered starting a SNES collection but that would be a formidable investment for me at the moment. It'll take time.

Besides that, one day I'll buy a NES and at least 30 games to fill that ancient, gaping hole inside of me. That will be one of my life goals.

Not really retro, but this is probably my rarest ite. Have lots of other rare games as well, mostly PAL PS1 games that are rare as hell.

I've been collecting a bit, I got nes games but didn't bother putting any up. What do you guys think ?

Heres my gamecube as well, couldn't fit into last pic

What a nice collection of not-retro! 0/10, please retake your retro 101 course.

>>1766386
Do you lock up Little Samson when people come over?

Its gamecube, big deal. They aren't being produced no more, Can't buy them in very many stores, therefore I consider them rare.

i wish I owned more rare stuff, just got sought after stuff which is still nice.

Here's a few of mine that is considered pricey, I have a ton more (such as NES, PS1, ect) but they're stacked away somewhere.

Yeah dude, Tomba is almost $100 if you can find a complete set.

Two for the Saturn: PDS NTSC and Shining Force III Premium Disk. Overpaid for both, but I've made up for value with Steam sales, &c.

Here's a bunch of rare and/or expensive games. Ever 17 isn't exactly retro, but it's factory sealed and I'm drunk so whatever.

Just bought this from my lgs for $90 untested
Tried it, it works like a charm on both the cartridge slot and cd player!

Chrono Trigger and the NES version of Battletoads/Double Dragon are the the only somewhat valuable games I own, as far as I know. I was actually surprised when I saw how much BT/DD goes for these days.

Oh shit, thanks for reminding me I was thinking of grabbing that game sometime

Not actually one of my rarest or most expensive games but definitely one of my biggest steals. The store had it priced like a Japanese copy and the American ones go for over 90. Got it for 50.

This game had a really limited printing and got stupid expensive, I think I bought it used for like $20

Also it's really damn good

>>1784634

Dude.

Lemme have some Gatorade.

Come on, man.

The only "rare"-ish stuff I have is a black label Final Fantasy Tactics, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and I'm not sure if Digimon World is rare or not. I wish I had legit rare stuff.

there are probably more..

I have a copy of that too that I bought at a flea market way back in the day. Why the fuck is it listed for $100 on ebay? Was it a small production run or something? Or was the game just so shitty no one bought it?

>>1786128
I don't know, apparently a few years ago it used to be cheap on eBay as well. I got mine from a thrift store many years ago for $5 or so. For some reason it appears to be quite rare now, CiB copies going for as much as $250. I think I'm going to sell mine so I can get an NES Everdrive.

Hello
Also the most rare game I own

>>1783296
I don't have a lot of hard information on Mars Matrix's rarity, but it only sees 2 sales a week on eBay, which makes it fairly uncommon, and maintains an approximate $50 price tag. You can get a copy for less than 35 if you're patient, though.

>>1765094

only thing to be jealous about is the nice fresh joystick on the controller. seems like those are harder to find than the millennium controllers these days.

I feel like resellers could atleast replace the jewel case... make me not feel like a fucking retard buying it from them.

>>1787860
Before the price jump, around 2009. I was trading in Lorwyn faeries foils(I had a lot of disposable income) and switching to legacy, since I had a weekly legacy tournament near me. So, yeah, I kinda bought in when everything was low; I paid 20 dollars per FoW and 30 a piece for foil Wastelands. The Jaces are just from Zendikar standard.

>>1787903
Jesus that was a good move. Are you going to sell them or keep them in hopes the price rises? Also do you still play legacy? I've always wanted to get in but with the price and lack of nearby places that host it I'm stuck to cockatrice.

>>1787905
>playing Legacy

Jesus Christ, how horrifying.

I am kind of jealous though, I spent my childhood buying Fallen Empires and Chronicles instead of Urza's!

I do have 2 FoWs, Drop of Honey, 2 dual lands, and a Show and Tell, however.

>>1787909
I like the format. Plus cockatrice is free so why not. The only thing that I don't like is that my favorite deck, goblins, is no longer relevant.

>>1787914
Every turbo power card I own full playsets of is restricted in Legacy (Channel, Necropotence, skullclamp etc)

I only really play EDH because its a singles format and I have tons of singles.

>>1787918
I'm pretty sure channel is actually banned in EDH.

>>1787929
It is, my point was that I can't actually play Legacy because I'd have to buy full decks despite having a collection going way back, because none of the top tier "powerful" cards I actually do own are allowed, besides Force of Will, which isn't the basis of a deck.

I wouldn't run Channel in EDH anyway.

Posting a rare console/rare game to not veer to far offtopic. Not as rare as the Sega CD stuff I posted earlier, though, I don't think.

>>1787369
When I said take a pic I meant like... I have the game, just never thought much of it, cause I'm not s big shmup person. I got that, gunbird 2, gigawing games, with essentially every fighter on Dreamcast with a boxed Dreamcast and a hunch of other things for 280 from a guy bout a year back. I was doing it mostly cause I really wanted athe copy of Jojo, cause I already had the ps1 version.

>>1787905
I try to play more in general, but it's actually been a lot harder to go to events now that I had to give up my car, and I don't have the money to even lease, and the only person who has a car that I can use to travel to events is extremely unreliable. As far as legacy goes, it's actually unpopular in my area(Long Island, NY); the hotness is actually vintage, since there's a lot of rich, older Italians and Jews who buy and trade power like it's stock, so it's harder for me to practice legacy than I'd like. I will be playing in the StarCity Invitiational that's gonna be in New Jersey in August, though, since I qualified a few months ago.

Also, running out of rare/valuable games to post.

>>1788053
I actually used to live in an area that had a regular casual legacy day and legacy tournaments occasionally before I played magic but I moved away and then got into it with no nonstandard around.

>>1788063
A lot of areas are definitely starting to shift towards modern, which is cheaper, but not by as big a margin as people think; the fetches are still expensive, as well as a lot of premium creatures. If it wasn't for StarCity, the format would be nearly dead, but they also caused the initial price spike that happened a few years back when they started hoarding legacy staples then started holding legacy events. It's a dirty tactic, but it worked, unfortunately.

>>1753227

since i dont want to start a thread,i will post this here.

i found these games (pic related) in a box,and i would like to sell them,i see people selling majoras mask alone for at least 20$ in my region.

so asking for 50$ or 40 for the 4 games and the controller and the memory card since i would get rid of them at the same time (i dont have the N64 anymore)

>>1788129

>>1766627
What's up with the pirate copy of Seasons?

>>1753227
Conker's Bad Fur Day is rare?
I mean, like monetary-wise, not company-wise.

Because I bought the cart from a rental store three or four years ago for a dollar. I thought N64 games were really cheap.

No pictures atm because I'm mobile.

My PS1 collection is pretty large, but I have
Tron Bonne Complete
Arc the Lad Collection Complete
Lunar and Lunar 2 Complete in mint condition
Strider 2 Complete
Haunting Ground (i know not retro)
Rule of Rose (i know not retro)

Those are the big contenders, I have a few others that are ~70-80 range but I cant remember exaclty what they are off the top of my head.

Not very rare but I got a gold cartridge of the new Zelda with the map and manual (not mine in the pic) I think I also got the box somewhere but idk

>>1778646
It's actually documented inferior hardware/software but whatever.

>>1782332
fake. google tells me so. betcha didn't think I could do a basic search did ya? [/garyvoice]

I just got a $100 amazon gift card. I want to get a/some rare but mostly good rpgs, probably for ps1. I'm thinking Xenogears, and then I'm debating between getting some stuff like Legend of Dragoon, Dragon Warrior VII, Brave Fencer Musashi, FF Tactics, or dropping most of it on something expensive like Fire Emblem Path of Radiance sorry for not retro or Digimon World 2. What do you guys think? also my rarest games are probably FFVII, VIII and VIII. I know they aren't very rare, I don't have many actually rare games

>>1787498
>>1787808
>>1788053
pretty solid collection. I'm waiting for fetches to get reprinted so I can really get into modern, right now I have pyrodelver deck with a couple of mistys. I have a friend who has a playset of beta underground seas, a playset of foil jaces, and a bunch of other shit in a safety deposit box.

>>1790759
Fetch reprints won't happen for at least another year, and I'm suspecting it'll be the Onslaught cycle, which would be great at blowing the format wide open; a lot of the top decks right now center around enemy-colored pairs(UR, RUG, GWB, Jund, etc.).

If I had the spare cabbage, I'd invest in high-end foils, duals, and power, and just sit on it forever in a safety deposit. It's a better investment than the stock market(and rare video games,), that's for sure, as the price of everything has been on the up and up for years. And with Vintage Masters on MTGO, I expect power to increase in value even more so than usual, which has had a steady 5-10% increase in value every year already.

Unfortunately, everytime I get a piece of power, I end up selling it or putting it towards high end foils. Already gone through a white bordered Jet, Emerald, and Pearl in my lifetime.

>>1790921
Wizards has said that if they reprint fetches, they'll do the full cycle, although they've been known to lie.

There's a guy in my area who collects power and especially black lotus', and has something like a few hundred of them. I've also heard he has the only beta sheet that's been authenticated by wizards. Also power/black lotus is an extremely safe investment, as they've increased more steadily than gold

>>1790550
im not the biggest gundam fan but why is this controller pink? shouldn't it be red?

>>1790973
Yeah, owning power is really good.. if you're a collector. I'm a player first, however, and power doesn't offer me much when most of the vintage tournaments I attend are unsanctioned, and therefore allow usually up to 15 proxies. As a legacy player I'd rather just own 40 duals, 40 fetches, FoWs, Wastelands, etc. since legacy normally doesn't allow proxies. Most of the guys I know who own power don't play much in the way of formats other than vintage.

Besides, next piece of power I get I'll probably trade it in for a copy of Little Samson like an idiot.

>>1791037
>owning power is really good.. if you're a collector.
True, most people who own power just jerk it to them instead of actually playing vintage. Also I didn't know vintage tournaments allowed proxies, I've proxied vintage with friends before and pyromancer gush is hella fun

>>1791254
It's a good thing us retro enthusiasts don't spend entire threads just showing off our expensive games, that'd just be obnoxious.

But yeah, most vintage tournaments allow a certain amount of proxies because they want people to actually show up and spend money, and winning them is a good way to actually get your hands on some power; that's how I won my Emerald a few years back with dredge. There's only two major tournaments that don't allow proxies, which is Vintage Champs, which used to take place in Indianapolis, but since moved to Philly, and Bazaar of Moxen in France.

i know most of these aren't very valuable, but i consider "rare" games to be..ones i don't see in the wild very often; or in the case of most of the games in pic related - ones i've never seen in the wild a 2nd time.

>>1791342

It is perfect in person, just bad camera.

Also it has two colors of red, top and bottom shell.

>>1792124
You're saying that your camera is so bad that it changed deep red to bright pink? Did you fuck with the tint or something?

Been meaning to post here all week. We're just unpacking from a move so some of my stuff is still boxed up, and there's a mess everywhere, but these are a few of my favorite items. Tried to stick to stuff that's legitimately hard to find or CIB. Don't have access to my 64 or SNES games yet, and I've got a bunch of 6th gen stuff that's pretty valuable/tough to find, but I tried to keep it retro. Can you tell I like Atlus? :V

Everybody knows about emulators nowadays that would be interested in earthbound, the value was really only from collectors anyway. If anything I would expect the market for it to go up with an updated release because of demand

>>1792973
Potato Phone with bad lighting. Just look at any Char Gundam and that is the color.

Is BFD really that rare/valuable? I've got that in the box with the manual and all that shit.

I had that game but never had the NES version. Finally played the NES version on emu only to find out it was basically the same levels. Still great games though.
