/vr/ - Retro Games

>inb4 guy who always posts Magical Chase

Rule of Rose apparently doubled in value since I got it, so thats not bad.

I'll pull the trigger on something really big ticket one of these days.

>>2646353
dust your collectibles once in a while you piece of shit if you're going to be a hoarder

>>2646367
Not rare you cunt

>tfw have no retro anything except for Missile Command and some N64 stuff

>>2646380
To be fair the thread is rarest thing that the poster owns, which doesn't necessarily mean the thing has to be rare across the board.

Psychic Assassin Taromaru
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Thunder Force Gold Pack 1 and 2
other expensive titles on the saturn

Genesis stuff:
MUSHA
Truxton(?)
Panorama Cotton
Megaman: The Wily Wars
Eliminate Down
etc

no camera because I have a shitty phone. I pour my life and money into my collection

I have a Pocket Reversi Cart in English for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, does that count?

>tfw you have nothing rare

My rarest are probably Makai Toushi SaGa and Romancing SaGa for the Wonderswan.

These threads are usually reposts.
And I'm no different

>>2646454
Its ok friend.

I usually end up playing my more common games anyways because the rare ones usually aren't as fun, and I don't nostalgia for them.

>>2646469
Love me some sunset riders.

>>2646469
Earthbound = overrated hipster indie shit

>>2646453
Here's a photo of it on top of a DVD copy of Ulysses 31

I'm not even sure how to gauge what is rare that I own. I can hardly check everything I own against databases it'd take forever.

>>2646506
Nothing is perfect, but pricecharting.com will get you about as accurate a figure as possible.

I still say some website developer could make bank if they combined something like pricecharting along with a collection website such as backloggery, so you could input your whole collection and get an appraisal of it at the same time.

>>2646478
Dude, I got my copy in 1999 when there was no such thing as hipsters.

>>2646526
>no hipsters

>>2646523
Theres too many different ones to interface, you'd have to pick one, but then the question is, what to you pick?.

Plus, its niche as fuck anyways.

>>2646353
>inb4 guy who always posts Magical Chase
I have other rare games, but Magical Chase just happens to be the rarest.

Panzer Dragoon Saga
Battle Mania Daiginjou

Both incredible games to boot.

>>2646446
>Panorama Cotton
oh I jelly

>Not playing Custer's Revenge for 4 hours a day

Disgusting.

>>2646526
Except the word "hipster" has been around since the early 1900's. Please, in the future, just shut the fuck up when it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.

>>2646454

tbh fam I ain't a collector cause I don't see the point in having a library of either shit tier games or games I won't play. I only buy what I like so I don't mind shelling out the extra shekels for a rarer game (will still always try to find the lowest price).

>>2646575
>tfw got MMX3 in a bargain bin label-less for 50 cents when I was 7.
>bought a reproduction label that looks like absolute garbage, but a label is better than no label I think

I didn't even know that MMX3 is a "cursed" cart and is incredibly likely to have label damage until like 2 years ago.

I've never seen this part of DooM. Rare indeed.

Calling out earthbound is hipster shit, you get that right?

Too lazy to pic.
>aerofighters snes

>>2646605
From mobile most likely? It does that alot

>>2646598
I bought that copy of X3 in a lot of other stuff. The label isn't too terrible, it's just really faded along the bend over the cart edge.

>>2646623
>aerofighters snes
Noice

i have it since i was a kid.

>i'm a cunt : the post

>Does Rainbow Islands count ?

>>2646650
Is Metal Gear on NES really that rare? I saw one not too long ago for like 10 bucks at a used game shop.

>>2646689
Its not.

>>2646641
Yea the cart isn't perfect, in fact it's ugly but it is what it is.

I have a shitton of CIB Famicom games. Im not weeaboo enough to learn ching chong runes, so I have no idea if any are rare. Some are sealed though. I have 90 total, some are mint, some barely work. Most are fun.

>>2646647
I think it actually is.
http://ebay.to/1NMx2x1

>>2646698
The usual rule is, Japanese take really good care and usually kept the boxes. The value is lower bc of this across the board excluding actual rarities.

>>2646706
Yea, ive noticed that especially with jewel cases. Saturn, dreamcast, and playstation cases are always smashed to shit while the Japanese ones even have the hardware surveys still in them.

The first Rayearth GameBoy game, 4/24 prototype version

>>2646319
I don't have anything "rare"
I own Zelda Lttp CIB in 9/10 condition and chromo trigger… desirable games anyways.

>>2646689

I don't know

I just think it's one of my rarest

>>2646739
Where the fuck did you pick that up?

>>2646880
Clearly from Tomy's house.

>>2646367
Thats not rare at all. They sold 140000 copies in north america

Everyone can sit down now

>>2646617
Calling out people calling out earthbound is hipster shit, you know that right?

no picture, but i have f-zero x in the box. it still has the cardboard tray to set the game in, the instruction manua,l and an old pamphlet for nintendo power.

for whatever reason the previous owner decided to write an "H" on it.

>>2647037
JESUS, PUT THAT IN A DISPLAY CASE YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!

so streetfighter zero 3 has gone up to like $200 since i bought it a year ago

I got Tengen Tetris. Not sure how "rare" it actually is, but I really want to collect every Tetris variant on NES/Famicom and this is probably the hardest one to find, at least out in the wild anyways.

>>2647075
>dat saturn library
Id put my dick on those jewel cases.

>>2647081
hey if anyone is going to put there dick on my saturn collection its going to be me

I don't own much, so "rarest" is probably going to be the oversized costco WoW box in decent shape, or the AoE skill tree pamphlet

>>2646454

don't worry i gave away all my rares back before they were even rare. some will find their way to you. :D

How can anyone do this to a label? ;_;

I also have Demon's Crest, but I learned a while ago that it's actually a repro... I paif 100€ for this shit.

>>2646704
>not linking to completed listings.

I'd say it's more uncommon & desirable than rare.
I still have mine from way back when; box and all. Though the screen is fvcked.

>>2647037
>not VGA certified.

>>2647146
Was Hagane a rental only in Europe like it was in the US?

>>2647152
I guess so. Either way it's crazy expensive here as well.

Is Street fighter Alpha 2 for SNES really that rare? I have it since I was a child, traded it at a shop for AAAAH Real Monsters. Seems like it was a good deal.

I also read about how Darius Twin was really rare, is that true?

>>2647160
They don't seem to go for very much for US carts, so I imagine they can't be too rare.

>>2647160
streetfighter alpha 2 was one of the last game made for the snes, i pay a bit to much but i love streetfighter so what you going to do

>>2647090
Nothing rare yet, but Saturn is great.

>>2647030
How can you be this fucking stupid? "The rarest thing you own" means exactly fucking that; the rarest thing you own, and for him, the rarest thing he owns is a copy of Earthbound. I don't understand. Are you trying to look cool by saying it's not rare, are you trying to look like you're some expert in old games? I can't understand how someone can be so stupid like you're being right now.

>>2647201
still a nice collection, do you play them

>>2647234
>playing games

Yeah, you think gold investors actually buy shit with their gold or make jewelry out of it or something dumb? Fuck no. Why would someine risk decreasing the value of their portfolio just so they can dicker around with outdated children's toys? Retro games are an investment tool to be collected and sold or traded at a later date to make a good profit. People who actually play games buy an XBOX ONE or something.

>>2646739
I want to hear a story about this

>>2647326
>buying games as an investment

>>2647234
Almost daily. The problem is alot of them are RPGs and I cant understand where to go, so I just replay convini 2 for the 200th time.

>>2647328
We all do anon, we all do.
Sadly I think the poster dropped it and left before we could hear who he raped and murdered to take that as a trophy.

>>2647326
Ironicshitposting/bait/decentpoint as this may be, those fucking people are the reason I had to pay 35 dollars to replace my copy of Gradius 2 that stopped working. I payed like 50 cents for it a few years ago.

Has everything. Including the scratch and sniff cards wth the guide.

>>2647535
Im more interested in the semen splattered on the wall.
Care to explain?

>>2647373
Oh, yeah, I was just shitposting. Those kinds of people would drive me fucking crazy.

What happened to your Gradius 2?

>>2647573
It still works, but it takes like 15 attempts to get anything other than a grey screen. I assume its worn. The new one goes every time.

>>2647569
The trolls are great

Guys, it's kind of off-topic, but is there a version of Venture (Atari 2600) that has no drawing, just a title that says "Venture" and the usual "Video Console System"? Because otherwise I either have a prototype or a very lazy bootleg.

This mother at the top. PAL of course

An old picture, but I haven't picked up anything that much more rare recently (and I don't want to pull everything back off the shelf.

Not pictured:
>Laseractive
>NES Toploader
>Sacred Line (technically rare as it had a low print run)
>Tomba
>Big stack of unbuilt model kits.

>>2646319
tfw i live in asia and nothing is rare

>>2647741
What country, anon?
>>2647641
PAL or not, nice!

>>2647328
No interesting story. I need to play it through at some point, but I can say for sure that it at least has some different character portrait art when compared to the final version. Sadly the battery leaked sometime before I got it so if there were ever any developer or reviewer-used save file it is long gone.

Probably not my rarest item, but
easily my favourite.

>>2647786
Most of them. My job moves me around a lot. Mostly Japan and China.

>>2647641
Fatal Frame is rare in europe?

Its like a 15-20 dollar game here max.
>tfw I search on eBay and its way more

Man maybe the PS2 speculators were right... I already have them all

Last year I bought Fatal Frame 1-3, Siren, Haunting Ground and Rule of Rose from the same seller (obviously aucitoning off all his games) I could've also got Silent Hill 2 and 3 but I let them slip through my fingers.

Glad I did now. Otherwise these games would be costing me like 3x what I paid.

>>2648525

>>2648525
>>2648528
And individually

>>2647535

what is the cover image of this cart supposed to be any way? Ness inside the Dungeon Man?? 'cuase they never control him like that in the actual game? is it a Starman? because if so why is there someone inside him? i'm confused.

>>2648707
I know almost nothing about the game, but it looks like it is a reflection.

>>2648707
Ness is being reflected in the Starman's visor.

Just acquired

I don't even remember when I got this

>>2649118
Looks like the NES version is an expensive game. Did you get it for a reasonable price?

Not valuable and the outer box is a little beat up, but rare. To my knowledge it's the only legit ESRB AO rated game ever sold in stores, and only because of the hot coffee mod. I originally thought that stores just threw out their stock or continued to sell them as-is not caring about the rating, but it turns out some retailers got AO stickers, placed them over the M rating, and continued selling them.

It also happens to be my favorite GTA game, and by extension one of my favorite games of all time. The disc is packaged in this really sweet hardcover manual made out to look like a tourist guidebook to San Andreas.

Sorry if not retro enough.

>>2646710
Well to be fair, the US Sega CD and Saturn jewel cases were more fragile than the standard sized jewel cases Japan used.

Somewhat rare overall. The Hagane label is in terrible condition but plays fine.

Metal Storm, MegaMan 1-4, unopened Blaster Master. Also have not pictured Megaman X, X3, and 7 for snes

>>2649639
I'm sure you're a nice person or whatever but right now I fucking hate you because you have alot of boxed Mega-Mans and Metal Storm.

I have all those games in the pic so I guess im happy to play them but I would seriously do some next level shit to get a boxed Metal Storm.

Single rarest/expensive thing I own is probably Chrono Trigger I got for $2.52 at a Goodwill. My Metalstorm, Megaman 1-6 and Bucky O'Hare probably tie for second.

>>2649579
I'm pretty sure Plok isn't rare. I'll overlook EB.

>>2646605
Thats.... a 300 dollar game.
WHY!

>>2646319
I got a Philips CDi and a bunch of games, like Hotel Mario, no Zeldas though, which are the only games anyone actually gives a shit about.

>>2649929
>at)18:47:35 No.2649929▶
>>>2646605
>Thats.... a 300 dollar game.

Infamy.
Rarity.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if some anti-pornography group bought them and destroyed a bunch.

NOT RETRO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

My rarest item isn't retro. Rarest retro item is probably my Super Gameboy.
>>2649579
>ninja gaiden trilogy
I envy you.

>>2651147
Meh. There is retro there too so it's okay. You also somehow missed that huge ass Steel Battalion controller for Xbox. If you are going to bitch at least be thorough.

Most of these aren't even rare, they're just expensive due to faggot resellers

Probably my T-Handle copy of Condor Attack with the manual.

>>2651225
I can contribute more rare stuff, but it isn't the most desirable stuff. For me personally they are highly desirable, but most probably don't give a shit about them.

I guess these three would be my retro rarities? I have a lot of N64 carts but I don't think any of them are all that rare.

I used to have the super scope to go along with these games; but my father threw it out. All I have is the sensor and the games now.

>>2652086
>Asshole speculator post

>>2652194
The fuck did you just call me?

>>2652194
It's bad enough he posted common as fuck shit thinking it's rare. To call him an asshole speculator for posting common as fuck shit is beyond retarded.

I have an original floppy of Troll's Tale for the IBM PC.

>>2652337
What the hell is a speculator?

>>2652381
Someone who buys shit and waits for the price to go up before reselling.

>>2650598
This is now a Custer's Revenge thread.
All inferior normal game posters may leave.>>2650598
>>2650598

>>2652381
In the case of our board, it means someone who buys rare/popular/expensive games with the sole intention of hoping that they will further increase in value so that he can sell them for a profit in the future. I'd imagine there is also a hint of the belief that some or many of these types aren't particularly educated in the videogame market and speculate only on the most obvious, in-your-face types of popular or expensive games with the hope of them continuing on an already established upward trend in pricing (despite some of them already being expensive) rather than on stuff that is truly rare and truly has the room to gain new attention in the future.

I don't really see a reason why that person would be assumed to be a speculator, however.

The pic isn't mine, but I have the famicom pirate of Super Mario World.

For some reason this is really sought after. Here's a gameplay video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZnl4eyu_Ao

>>2652456

I'd like to get a boxed one.

>be pleb
>Get retron fake NES
>go shopping for random games
>find, among others, 'dragon warrior'
>discover it's one of the earliest RPGs of the era
Not rare I'm sure, but still felt neat realizing what I'd bought. I'm gonna go try it out now.

>>2652487
It only sort of bothers me that you didn't know what Dragon Warrior was but have fun

>>2652509
Was a genesis kiddie with limited NES access, and shyed away from RPGs mostly, only ever getting into ff tactics. like I said, pleb, but I'm expanding my experience and having fun discovering this old shit. Played Captain Skyhawk yesterday and loved the fuck out of it.

>>2646380
>>2647030
>taking the most obvious bait in existence

Hello, /v/

>>2646575
When the hell did Kolibri become rare? I bought it a few years ago for 5.99...

>>2646475
>I usually end up playing my more common games anyways because the rare ones usually aren't as fun, and I don't nostalgia for them.
>tfw you play bubsy more than wild guns

>>2652558
I play Super Ghouls n' Ghosts more than Wild Guns. Wild Guns is fun like, once every couple of years. SGnG is fun ANY time.

>>2646319
Nothing especially rare, but this is the most rare stuff I have for each system, plus a couple of more rare consoles.

>>2652651
Oh and this guy.

>>2652651
>truxton
>cdx
Hello Mark.

Another

>>2652573
SGnG is the weakest in the series, though.

>>2648502
I have these too, so I checked on Ebay as well. What are you guys talking about? They're 15 euros tops here in Italy.

>>2652456
>>2652463
As a bootleg enthusiast, I can confirm. I want that so bad!

I also have a Virtual Boy with 9 games, a Twin Famicom and a Game Boy Light.

>>2652432
I-I got these games when I was a wee lad.

S-sorry ;_;

Is a yellow pikachu gameboy advance SP rare? is it even retro? Got one working with charger at a flea market today for $15.

>>2647152

no i bought mine from a budget bin in the last days of snes for 10 euro at a toystore

>>2652871
As I said, I didn't see why someone thought you were a speculator. I assume the vast majority of people who own physical games on here actually enjoy owning games and aren't just in it for profit.

>>2652905
Anyone who has a few common games too expensive for a tween is a speculator this summer.

The game itself is not really rare, but the fact that I have this in factory sealed condition is what makes this a collector's item. First edition, perfect condition.

Kinda shame though, I would love to play this. I guess I have to buy a copy that is already opened.

>>2646595
And it has different meaning today than it did before you fucking faggot. So please stfu when it's obvious that you have no idea as to what you're talking about.

>>2647326
Jew detected

>>2652689
Dude I wish I was Mark. People just send him the most rare shit as if it was nothing.

I have three ROBs, but one's arms won't raise.
Sorry about the flash too.

>>2653120
Just burn a copy to play.

>>2652086
Those are all very common

>>2647658
AAARG, my Rayearth manual is missing a Mokona sticker an I'm pretty sure it was my little sister that did it YEARS ago and I just recently noticed....

I got this epic find a few weeks ago. Not only does it come with the greatest game to ever grace God's Earth but it also comes with a special branded controller that announces my devotion to the Chief. I only paid $300 but I would have paid more.

It's rare I guess

>>2646689
There's a copy CIB at my local second hand store with a AU$350 price tag on it but they're total jews

I've seen it around but it's fairly uncommon I'd say

>>2656639
1. It's not rare, at all
2. This "My first FPS" game is mediocre at best
3. Not retro

>>2656639
Huehuhehuehueheuheuhe

That being said, the Halo edition Xbox isn't even rare. I own one, but its missing the matching controller and I got a mad katz u-mad edition green one instad.

Maybe it's not a rare game, but I seriously haven't seen a single person who played the Genesis version. It's not even a bad game, it's one of my favourite platformers

Here are some of my older games.

>>2646319

I do know a few early copies of the game had Thriller in it

>>2646353

>>2646575

I'd fucking kill for a copy of Snatcher. If only that NDS port had been more than just a demo

>>2659815

>>2647658
Which Rayearth disc do you have? Mine is Fuu, which I'm pretty sure is the most common.

>>2659815
Probably whatever is on the trade/sample disc.

>>2646469
Oh man I completely forgot Sunset Riders was on the SNES. My friend and I used to play that shit all day at this one brewery by his cabin

>>2661798
I believe is a TI-83 Plus.

I bought Magic Knight Rayearth 4 times. My own is Fuu, and the other three I bought were gifts to my friends who have: Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu.

At the time, it was $50 a pop new.

>>2663207
No AES stuff. I don't even own an AES.

Definitely not the rarest thing I own and not my only contribution to the thread, but here's my Gradius II New Ver. PCB (3 board) with original instruction cards and original operator's manual.

>>2664864
Oops.

>>2664864
>>2664865
>>2663207

I'm seriously considering buying an MVS thats being sold locally.

4 slot, apparnetly slot 1 is kinda iffy, but it comes with 11 games. I can probably sell the few I'm not interested in and pickup something else I want like a Metal Slug 1, even though its expensive.

>>2664872
I play my MVS games with a 1-slot. MVS games don't have the polished look of AES carts of course, but as far as I know they are generally cheaper.

You might consider using a Universe Bios if you get the cab instead of using whatever bios it comes with. I guess it isn't as authentic, but it allows you to change region, enable cheats, and switch to the home version of games if you desire.

>>2664887
I basically want the cab, for partial nostalgia and Its really the "last" thing I really want for my games room.

It comes with my top 4 games, Metal Slug X (although I'd prefer the original), Puzzle Bobble, Sengoku 3, and Strikers 1945 Plus.

Then it comes with like 7 other games of varying interest to me, mostly fighters and I'm not huge on those.

The biggest issue is me getting it home. I supposed I could rent a truck or something, but I'd need to get some buddies to help me haul it.

>>2664920
Good luck with it. Just make sure the cab and monitor are in good shape before you commit to it.

Not exactly "rare", but I don't know many people overseas or even in Japan that own a copy, much less with a white cartridge (all pictures online of official ones are black).

>>2665063
Is there still a chance to get it "OVP"?
Some time ago I saw it in a Japanese Game Documentation i think.

>>2665063
Is there still a chance to get it "CIB"? Or at all?
Some time ago I saw it in a Japanese Game Documentation i think. Too bad i wasn't in Japan at that time.

I have these and a lot more stuff not pictured but I really don't feel like pulling it all out for a shit photo cause my camera sucks. But these are my favorites compared to the other stuff I own

>>2665063
that game is shit you faggy weeb. Who cares if its a new famicom game that piece of crap would never sell if had been released when the famicom was actually a thing.

Metroid prime trilogy is rare?
