Inb4 people claiming they have gold carts

>>880890
Gold Carts aren't rare, though.

>>880890

But I do...

>>880916
For some games they are

>>880876
The original Transport Tycoon, still in the plastic wrap.

>>880924
>>880890
gold carts are actually more common than the grey ones actually

>>880876
Probably Mega Man 6... I don't own very many rare things :/

>>880923
we all know what game that poster is refering to though.

>>880876
Vectrex
Tombs & Treasures
Joshua and a bunch of other shit Wisdom Tree games
I guess I'm not much of a collector.

Either Ganpuru/Gunman's Proof for Super Famicom or Super Gameboy 2. Which I don't think are that rare but are fairly difficult to find.

It's not worth anything but I haven't seen too many people with the giant plastic NES display case.

>>880876
A virtual boy with Wario Land, Teleroboxer, Mario tennis and Panic Bomber.

One of the lenses gave out though, and i havent gotten around to fixing it. Works perfect besides that though. RIP Gunpei.

>>880948
Wait, that one is just yellow. Every copy of Zelda I've seen has this "gold" >>880924.

>>880876
I guess my NFR copies of Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil.

>>880997
Yellow carts are Test carts, they were made for Nintendo repair shops to test consoles.

>>880956
>Super game boy 2
What

I think the rarest game in my collection is Arc The Lad Collection. Got it some years ago from a mom and pop game store. It didn't come with the official strategy guide or the necklace, but it had everything else.

Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete for PS1. Only discs, no case. Yeah, I got nothin'.

>>881006
isn't that just a myth though and the yellow ones are just repro scams?

>>881009
could you explain what the point of all the stuff that isn't the games themselves and books are? is that some sort of table top game or something?

>>881006
NFR?

>>881072
Not for resale.

>>881058
No, they're legit,

This site has some more info on them http://www.limbofunk.com/zelda-test-cart.html

>>881072
National Finals Rodeo
he won them at a rodeo championship, duh

Sega CDX

Star Fox Super Weekend

>>881110
Pic?

>>881119

Probably Hagane for the SNES on par with my 2 copies of earthbound.

Panzer Dragoon Saga (PAL) CiB with the cardboard sleeve both 2-disc boxes came in.

>>881147
What's that?

>>881158
>look up on google
>everybody selling for 400 dollars
why

i never really bothered to check but i guess this? i received it in pretty poor shape but it still works and is only missing a few peices.

>>881160
Starfox Super Weekend. That, and a turdtastic quality picture.

>>881183
Yes but what IS it

I can't really think of anything I own that happens to be rare. I'd have to see some kinda list.

>>881182
Holy shit
Post pics please.

>>881182
i also have a ROB but it's missing the gyros and the gyro spinner, i do have the other parts though and he works.

is the turbo grafx cd unit rare? i know the super system upgrade card for it is really rare.

>>881190
It's a gfgi.

>>881007
Not my pic but that's basically why it's better.
And it unfortunately only stayed in Japan because it launched late.

Mine's loose, but I payed $12 for it.

>>881201
ok, as you can see it's in fairly rough shape

>>880876
I have a GBmicro famicom edition. I had no idea it was so rare and received it as a gift when it was first released.

inb4 not retro kiddies swarm in -> suck my ass

>>881190
FUCKING GOOGLE IT RETARD

>>881248
here is the main unit and it's massive controllers

>>881190
Cart that was used in Blockbuster tournaments. You basically tried to score the highest, and you could win a jacket. You might have also been able to win the cart, can't remember.
There's also a DKC version.

>>881253
main unit itself.

>>881260
serial number for those interested

these

I also have a complete steel battalion i got for free but i can't find the pics and it's in the closet, also not exactly /vr/ either

>>880939
>gold carts are actually more common than the grey ones actually
They are. I have gold carts of Zelda 1 and 2, and they were both dirt-cheap.

As for rarest game... Probably my copy of Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Still in fair condition, with the manual and MML2 demo disc.

>>881252
Fuck you

I don't know how rare it is but the most interesting thing in my collection is a CD-i with Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil.

I suppose Earthbound in terms of price

>>881360
Post video

>CIB guaranteed bug free revision WWF No Mercy cart from a former THQ/AKI employee (guy is still selling some on ebay)
>Gamecube Component Cable
>pair of 3rd party SNES and Genesis joystick
>RGB modded gold N64

Nothing too special

>>881337

You lucky bastard. I'm a huge megaman and legends fan in general. I kick myself hard for not grabbing a cheap copy of tron bonne back in the day

SNES version of Street Fighter Alpha 2, I guess.

I own a copy of graffiti kingdom

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine on the N64. It was Blockbuster exclusive (meaning you could only rent it, not buy it), so it's relatively sort of-kind of rare

I don't really own anything rare/expensive/valuable

Anything that costs too much I stick to emulation. Stuff that is reasonable I buy. I guess the most valuable retro thing I have is an NES top loader. ~_~

I own a lot of expensive pieces but nothing I would dare to call rare...

>>881516
im jelly


Not exactly too retro, but seems to go for a ridiculous price

>>881521
I actually got my copy for free, from my cousin who got it for free from his friend.
He didn't want it, so feels amazing.

>>881530
got mine at a garage sale for $1. they also had a virtual boy for $10 and i'm still pissed i didn't jump on it and buy it

Um... I own a copy of Wizardry 6.

Not the ones sold to customers, but the ones intended for stores to display. "NOT FOR RESALE" stamped every few pages in the manual and in the inner-box. It also came with both 3.5" AND 5.25", instead of 3.5" -OR- 5.25".

I guess that's rare.

>>880948
I thought he was talking about Ocarina of Time. I have a golden Majora's Mask, but apparentely that one isn't very rare.

I have Lunar Silver Star Story, but it's not the super edition with all the shit, it's the 2 disc one with the neato fanart on the discs.

That's probably it, not even rare.

Uhh well I have Castlevania Bloodlines.

I have way more rare anime dvds than games.

>>881516
oh wait there is something that is... kinda rare and a bit random... I own 2 working JVC X'eye and sega CDX that I bought for almost nothing.

Erm...I own gubble for ps1?

>>881258
I had one too, it was cheap as shit for a while. Think I lost mine in a move, which makes it extra depressing to see the current prices...

>>881516
>Commodore 64c
Ma nig, my dad contests that the 64c is not the definitive commodore. It's the only one I've ever owned.
Then again, he had a zx spectrum too.

>>881559
Did you see that guy's kickstarter to make a new gubble? I can't find the video anymore; I think he took it down out of embarrassment.

>>881578
tbh i only bought it the other day for £1 from a market stall because the title just sounded so ridiulous in Norfolk, UK. Here "Gubble" is slang for "drunk ramblings whilst accidentally emitting phlegm"

>>881337
>in fair condition
fair is a grade above poor and in a PS1 that would mean it's unplayable, nice try though

>>881516
I was wondering what the Panasonic REAL thing was but then I looked it up and saw it was just one of their many attempts to rebrand the 3DO

>>881603
Ha, that's funny. Might have been what the creator was going for. He's the same guy who made Crystal Castles for the Atari. He always puts a lot of bizarre classical music in his games.

>>880876
pic related, i guess soldier blade? i didn't realize my hucard collection was this big....

>>881147
My nigga

I got digimon world 1 and 3 and i founf Project justice in a thrift store today
pic fucking related

bible adventures, blue cart

>>881516
how is your snes not piss yellow

>>881884
i just started my turbo grafx collection so i am drooling over a few of those games.

>>882001
I have quite a bit of money tied up in my hucards, that's not even counting my TGCD stuff and the system cards.

>>881989

Mine is still gray, too. I think Nintendo changed the plastic for some of the models after a certain point.

>>882019
I wonder when they rolled out the newer models for the first time; I've had my SNES since about 1992, and it's half yellow.

>>882008
i know i am in for a wild ride as you can't find this stuff locally other than by pure luck.

managed to somehow find a few good tg16 games at goodwill last month for $2 each and they all had their cases and only one was missing the manual well except for bonk's revenge that came in a case for bonk's adventure.

>>881989
>>882026
that reminds me, has anyone tried using this stuff? I'm interested to see if it actually works.

>>882081
oh... forgot link

>orta

>Rare

ITT: People post games that are insanely over-priced and assume that means they are rare

>>882093
I think he's just showing that he has the full collection

>>882095
ITP: some one repeats an old tired troll for the millionth time

>>882027
Well at least you can burn all the CD games, but you're gonna need a System card 3.0 play some of that stuff. The american card was expensive last I checked, so I just bought a japanese card.

Got one of these recently. Pretty rare I believe

>>881884
the thing that gets me is that thing is about the size of a game boy, yet everyone still clings to the notion that the Game Gear was big and bulky do to the limitations of the time... I would imagine that the TGE proves otherwise

>>882106
that's from the N64, right? what games does that even work on?

>>881305
>tfw my Orta copy just stopped working

It gets to the first loading screen after the first cut scenes and then freezes there. It use to work before, it's a newer copy I got a few months ago. The disc is clean too.

>>882112
Man, I never had a good copy of Orta. It took ages to find a beat-up used copy. I didn't know there were supposed to be voices in-game until someone asked what was wrong with my game.

>>882121
>>882112
>>>/v/

>>882113
I think it was mostly used to browse the Randnet online service

>>882127
/v/ doesn't like Orta, because it's fun.

>>882101
i heard it's a bit finnicky with newer discs and requires 650mb discs burned at the lowest possible speed for best results

>>882107
the turbografx express was also prohibitively expensive, whilst the game gear was affordable.

i have a pokemon green cartridge and i live in the USA. dont know if that counts for anything

I guess the rarest /vr/ thing I own is a copy of NES Gemfire with the instruction booklet.

>>882137

/v/ does hate. I loved that game, I think I might play it again tonight.

>>881989
magic

>>881660
Erm, no, it's still 100% playable.

>>882137
>/v/ doesn't like something
>that means I can talk about it here even though it's off topic
no

Super Smashed Bros. It's not even rare, though.

>>882131
>Randnet
had to look this up, had no idea such a thing existed, makes me wish the 64DD did make it over here.

>>881305

There's a chick at my FLGS that has that same DS. She won the last draft I went to.

One of these.

>>882316
It's not like it's degrading the quality of this thread. At least it's not like the guy started a Dreamcast thread.

EarthBound. but lets be honest EB isn't really rare. more like uncommon.

>>882357
Worth a shitload of money

>>882352
True

>>882351
I plan to get one of those Micros when I'm well enough to work again.

I'll call it my prize for not killing myself these past few years.

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX2. Complete and mint.

Well, I guess it'd either be my virtual boy with Wario land, Mario Tennis, Red Alarm and Water world

Or my copy of Suikoden II.

>>882089
For anyone considering Retrobright, I'd like to warn you that it will not turn your yellowed SNES console halves back to gray, it will bleach/whiten them. Also it'll make the ABS plastic much more brittle (corners will start cracking) and often the whitening action will be a bit splotchy, visibly so.

I should probably start a thread about this.

>>880876
>What's the rarest retro thing you own?

Warsong for Sega Genesis.
Battery still works after all of these years too.

SNES Chrono Trigger
Gold Ocarina of Time

not really that rare.

Intellivision with 12 games

Rare considering how many of them actually still work (like mine).

Some kid I knew long ago borrowed my MMX3.. then moved to the fucking Phillipines..

>>880876
I'm not sure. An official nintendo "bag" for carry my GBC.

>>883167
>soccer
>doubles on mario rpg
I hate you.

I guess the rarest game I have by sales numbers that I could be bothered to find is Goemon's Great Adventure.

Non-retro rarest thing is easily Bit.Trip Complete.

>>882351
Jelly.

Rare? I don't have any. But the most valuable thing for me, of all the time is my Pokémon Emerald copy (original), in my country it's rare (and expensive) as fuck.

>>883193

Used to be my copy of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. Had to sell it to pay bills a while back, though.

Now, I'm not sure. Nothing exceptional.

Honestly?
Probably a pink GBP, which I believe was Japan exclusive.

>>880876

64dd

>>881081
>ends right when the story was getting good

fuck if I know I have a copy of Goemon 64, F-Zero X, OoT and MM, Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Wave Race 64.

>>883234
>Used to be my copy of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.

that shit is so fucking expensive these days. I saw the PS1 version of Innocent Sin on amazon and some guy is selling that for 300 euros.

>>881009
That wasn't a necklace. That was an actual, legit pocketwatch with one of several character designs. Quite possibly one of the coolest preorder bonuses ever made.

>>881070
It's the biggest over-the-top release Working Designs ever did. Some of the other items you see are a memory card holder, player character standees, Dual Shock thumb stick covers, and hardcover manual.

A mint-sealed Pok?mon Mini, I think

>>880876
Atari Jaguar in the box with the booklets

Lots of my Neo Geo and PC Engine stuff.

some real jewels in there.

>>883597
Ah I see. I'm here thinking that was a necklace.

The manual also doubled as an artbook according to the outer flap, though there wasn't much in the way of stuff like Concept Art.

>>880876
Atari 2600, and a Collecovision.

OMFG is a gold zelda cart rare, ive had one for years as my stepfather gave it to me. Im new to the retro gaming but is a gold cart rare im trying to post a pic but it shows up white in my shitty phone cam. I posted it in the n64 controller thread, pls respond.

Oh and i also have the gb famicom micro but idk if thats rare cuz nintendo was selling them online for 99 dollars when i got it. Ima try to include it with the gold cart see if i can show it. I dont have the box for the gold cart will that severely devalue it? Oh and i also have a mario game and watch in poor condition.

>>884641
No, child.
Gold carts are more common than grey ones

Mega Man V for the Gameboy. So yeah, not much.

This is what i have can you verify that it is rare. Im about to search it up right now

>>884656
I'm pretty sure he's rather obviously trolling

Lmao, I am pretty embarassed now, I got hype for no reason. I was not trolling, I am just misinformed. Btw, what gold cart were they talking about?

>>884675


yeah...smells awefully like /v/ and summer...

This. Probably not rare but I've had it since i was a wee lad and first got my nes.

Damn now I have to blend in with your super secret club, I just enjoy this boards insightful discussion on retro games which I have taken a sincere infatuation with but you know what. I'll follow the posting and grammatical guidelines because I enjoy this board too much. Now have a good day sir.

I have an N64 with 4 controllers and NFL Blitz, which according to Craigslist, is like $150

http://collegestation.craigslist.org/vgm/3920982677.html

>>884709
Hey, just wondering, what's your real age?
No need to lie, I started browsing 4chan 6 years ago when I was 16.

>>880890
I have the gold cart zelda game boy camera

That's probably the rarest thing I own.

I've moved so many times that I no longer have much of anything before the Playstation era. I do have Vay for Sega CD with a cracked case, manual and map. I also have Phantasy Star 2,3 & 4 for Sega genesis and all should have boxes and manuals. Although my Phantasy Star 4 has a paper box and a manual made of non-glossy paper. I hear there was a plastic box version but I've never seen it. The box and cart have West Coast Video stickers on them too. It must have been a rental copy before it somehow ended up used in Game Gallery back in the winter of what I think was 1995. I wonder if it was stolen and no one in the store cared when they put it up for resale.

I don't think any of this stuff is rare though. Just the best of whatever I have left, sadly.

>>884894
> gold cart zelda game boy camera
Uh. English please?

Don't have it anymore, but this was the first vidya I ever got at three years old. Coleco Tabletop arcade donkey Kong. Pity the thing broke on me...

>>884930
I have the Zelda edition of the GameBoy Camera which is a gold cart.

These two.
Got nights for 57$.

>>882352
>off topic as fuck
>tries to save his ass by bringing up a completely different situation that has nothing to do with this thread

you really are a faggot.

>>884685
what?
none of the zelda gold carts are worth much... though to the right collector those game and watches might be if they are originals

I don't really own anything rare.

MGS1, RE2, and Fallout 1 (all on PC) are probably my rarest games.

>>884706
whao... I'm not sure if that's rare or not, but I've never seen it before... I had a sliding wooden nintendo branded case, unfortunately it has fallen apart...

>>885204
>MGS1
>RE2
>rare

shut up and go back to /v/ faggot.

>>885835
no "faggot," you are the /v/

>>885205
I've never seen another one either but I've never really looked. I still have a piece of paper in it that used to have a mike Tyson punch out code on it or something. i had a case that sounds similar to yours that housed Odyssey games, but its long gone. Was plastic though but everything plastic then had wood grain finish.

This. Win.

>>886159
I got that CIB in rather good shape for $15, so I wouldn't exactly call it rare.

>>886176
Ya was joking. Was a pain in the ass game. Used to play it a lot as a kid though. Dug it out of a box in closet a few days ago.

>>886186
Yeah, game's fairly challenging, but still fun nonetheless.

>FILE DELETED

What was the point of that, janitor?

>>881147
>My dumbass ex-gf sold her copy two/three years ago
>Didn't wait for the retro bubble
>Didn't keep it as a collector
I was mad. I don't have anything particularly rare, just half of what
>>883193
has (not EB CIB though, nice)
among other rare things (lunar 1/2 CE, Suikoden 2, etc). If I were to sell ALL of my physical vidya, it'd be worth more than the combined might of anything presented in this thread, and then some.

>>884869
16, but im in college already. Started lurking around 13.
