How exactly do you find out how rare a game is? Is there a database somewhere with the number of known copies in existence? I have a friend who is kind of a hipster that just got into old games, and sometimes he's like "Oh man, I just got this rare game; it was really expensive." and it's a loose cart of Starcraft 64 or Bad Fur Day or something else that I remember being popular in the 90s. I'd like to give him some direction so he doesn't get fast-talked into buying shitty games and decide the hobby isn't worth it, because I always see you guys talking about how stuff like Earthbound and Bad Fur Day and any pre-2000 JRPG commands hundreds of dollars when it's not all that uncommon.

as far as official releases are concerned I have a CIB copy of Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti for Famicom in mint conditions. I really mean CIB, including the damn stickers the game came with.
Also a loose cart of Crisis Force for Famicom.

Also Deep Fear on Saturn PAL version but I'm missing the booklet. I do however have the official japanese guidebook for it. Also PAL version of Enemy Zero on Saturn I guess....

If that counts I also have 2 copies of Silent Hill2's OST, 2 copies of Silent Hill 3's OST, 2 copies of Silent Hill: The Room's OST as well as 1 copy of Biohazard 2's OST; all JAP versions and all sealed.

Also the american box version of Resident Evil 3 for PC. Looks so good.

You know I decided to check with Rarity Guide and apparently Mighty Final Fight is pretty uncommon. That said, I decided to check my other consoles and immediately lost faith in whatever metric they were using when I seen Metroid 2 and FF7 at over 80% "rarity." So I have no idea what my rarest game is. I'm just going to keep assuming Mighty Final Fight is one of them because I had heard it was somewhat uncommon prior to this. Hell if I know though.

ChuChu rocket on GBA. Its really rare but only worth like 60-100 bucks, i have the case too.

Most expensive game I have is SMT IV special edition in box factory sealed. It'll be worst 300 minimum next year since atlus prints in so limited copies. From what I heard only 250k copies were printed, 100k being special edition. Right now its worth 100 bucks and I got it for 60.

Any guides for PAL region games? Surely half of it is rare compared to NA stuff anyway?

I have 8 PAL NES games (two CIB), and that console sold poorly in Europe. I also have some terrible SMS and GG games, and less terrible PS1 and PS2 games.

Rare possibilities (mostly based on unpopularity):
PS1: RC de GO!, RR4 with Scandinavian manual (I bought it new in Ireland lol), Gundam Battle Assault (2? I forget)
PS2: Puyo Pop Fever, Gradius V

I don't colIect at all, but I have a Wind Waker Limited Edition copy and some weird special edition of Mario Kart: Double Dash that came with a "Zelda Collector's Edition" disk - apparently coming from a limited edition special Gamecube release. Both seem kind of rare.

Everything else seems fairly common. According to Rarityguide, these are my rarest games for the other platforms I have:

SNES: Super Mario World (lolwut)
GB: Mario's Picross (though not CIB)
N64: Super Smash Bros. (again, wut)
GBC: Pokemon Silver (again, what)
GBA: Legend of Zelda: Classic Nintendo Series

This listing is wonky as fuck. I'd figure something like Super Morph or Hebereke's Popoon would be much rarer for the SNES.

They're just something most the population doesn't have and something sold very rarely in common places. Ever type in repro or reproduction cart on eBay? Very few things show up, many of which were made in limited runs. The people who make these aren't factories; they don't make thousands.

They might not be rare in the same kind of way MMX3 is officially rare, but they are rare.

Not too valuable ($15 if I'm lucky), but I doubt hardly anyone on /vr/ has this. Japanese Tamagotchi 2 for the Gameboy CIB.
The rarest gaming related thing I have period is probably an Xbox 360 software disc from 2007 I have. No figure on its value (zero sales history = value being anything someone will pay for it), but I seriously doubt more than 10,000 copies (hell if you ask me even 10,000 is a generous estimate) were manufactured for the little known offer Microsoft ran for a few months on their website.

>PDS isn't still in production, though.

True that, however many repos aren't either. See
>>1059554

Just because something is still being made, doesn't mean it's limitless, especially if it's existence depends on the whim of a hobbyist. Most repos are made by a select group of people as a hobby. Considering how limited the general awareness of repros are, it is very unlikely that their numbers will increase by much; there simply isn't enough people making or buying them. It is far too much a niche item for a niche audience. 10 years from today they'll likely still be as unknown and elusive as they are now.

The grey carts are far less common for the NES Zeldas. The gold ones were in production from 1987/1988 well into the early 90s, and the grey carts were part of a budget classics line in 1993 to accompany the top-loader, so they were only produced extremely late in the system's life, after it was already long overshadowed by Genesis and SNES.

Something that anyone can have made at any time isn't rare. Official releases that aren't made anymore are rare because production has stopped. With repros, production is ongoing.

It's like me gluing jellybeans all over a baseball bat. Sure, it's unique, and I'm probably the only one in the world who has a baseball bat covered in jellybeans, but it isn't rare because anyone who wanted a jellybean bat could easily have one at any time.

Something can still be in production and be rare. Metroid Prime trilogy was still considered a damn good find when it was still being printed. But in any case, the thread asked for rare games.
There are a few online stores that make them, but repros are still unusual and uncommon, and that fits the dictionary's definition of 'rare'. Only the most dedicated of collectors buy them, so they will always fit those descriptions. You can have one made for you, but not a lot will ever be made given the very nature of their audience. That's why so many repros are out of print, and why so many more are guaranteed to eventually reach that status. There just aren't enough collectors for this kind of thing, so (globally speaking) an infinitesimally small number will be the end result of every repro cart's print.

>That's how the definition of the word rare works.

The definition of the word includes a measure of great value. (Not necessarily monetary value.) A jellybean bat has no more value of any kind than the jellybeans and bat have separately. A repro cart isn't any more valuable than the rom, donor cart, and a very small amount of labor.

Something being simply uncommon is a necessary quality of rarity, but not a sufficient one. Unless you're an eBay seller. And then everything is rare.

Repros are homemade affairs, anyone can make one at any time with a rom and the right board. They can never be "out of print" as long as there are roms, boards, and cartridge cases.

Unless you're talking about something like the Earthbound Zero custom shelled cart, and then the value has nothing to do with the rom and the board, you're basically paying for a sculpture with a game housed in it.

>>1062475

Are you intentionally misreading the black and white definition, or just dense? Definition of rare: highly valued. The definition says a thing is rare when it is highly valued because of its uncommonness.

Reading it your way it would go:

>rare: highly valued because it is rare

Which is using a word in its own definition which is pants-on-head retarded.

OP here!

Sorry, to clarify. There are threads for rerpros.

I'm looking for the rarest, most-valuable gems in your collections.

Not the dirt-common expensive stuff like Earthbound or (Due to a recent-ish warehosue find) pic related. But rare and valuable, like my original image.

I don't know, I have a lot of middling rare games.

Clayfighter: Sculptor's Cut
My local blockbuster was selling off n64 games when the gamecube ps2 and xbox came out and I bought that shit. Had to go back into the store because they gave me the regular version accidently at first. Was a good decision. They only had the loose game unfortunately and it had BBV on it in permanent marker.

I've never met anyone besides myself who actually likes the game though.

PSO episode 1 and 1 plus

Cubivore

There aren't a lot of copies of steel battalion out there

I have a bunch of Saturn games, like Panzer dragoon saga and some sega cd games and a lot of those are a little rare.

You do realize that you have to pay VGA a percentage of its value right?
Meaning that yeah it goes 600$ on eBay, but you would be paying a little more than half just for them to put it in a plastic box with a number on it. So I wouldn't recommend spending 350$ just to do that.
Also serious collectors almost NEVER buy VGA graded items.

Not rare at all. Because it's jap version doesn't make it rare. It's all over worldwide ebay.

>The definition of the word includes a measure of great value. (Not necessarily monetary value.)

No it doesn't. Not every definition of the word "rare" includes value. You can't claim definition 1 of a word is right and definition 2 isn't.

You see the problem here is that the fact that repros being rare bothers your collector self. Your whole hobby, a big part of your self, revolves on looking for "rare" stuff so it bothers you that repros are rare. Because they are easy to make with no nostalgia value and very little monetary value.

Yet as long as there are few, they will be rare deal with it

>Unless you're talking about something like the Earthbound Zero custom shelled cart, and then the value has nothing to do with the rom and the board, you're basically paying for a sculpture with a game housed in it.

I'm not even debating on whether or not repros are good (and I've been firmly against repro sellers website on this board every time the subject comes). This has nothing to do with it, this is just talking about fact of rarity.

But I can claim that all of them in general make up "the definition", and say that "the definition" includes elements of both uncommonness and value.

Further, the ROM of Bio Force Ape was rare. Then it was found and released. Now it's not. Even if you put it on a cartridge, it's not rare. Perhaps you should try dealing with it.

Yes, but that's different than claiming that it means both "in general" like you did >>1064247

plus "in general" is such a vague term...

Why is it so hard for you to admit you were wrong on the definition of a word? It's not big deal man, nobody knows everything about everything... But at least admit it more easily or it will be hard for you to EVER have more knowledge.
Is it because "rarity" is THAT important for you as a collector? Feels like you're defending your child or your own self.

I enjoy how you keep trying to say that I can only be arguing that garage repros aren't rare because I must be a collector who has some personal stake in this, when the fact is that a repro cart of a dumped prototype rom is just not rare.

I could put a ten foot print of Bea Arthur in a swimsuit on the side of my house in Rasterbated tiles. It would be uncommon, but it wouldn't be rare. (Except, as mentioned before, in the eBay sense of the word.)

After reading through this thread I've come to a couple of conclusions.

1. Rarityguide is absolute shit and should never be used by anyone. They have no fucking clue what they're talking about.

2. /vr/ is full of fucking faggot losers who don't understand the definition of the word rare. Seriously, you guys are killing this board. fucking stop it.

The rarest games I own are Chavez II for the SNES and Bounty Bob Strikes Back for the Atari 400/800, both of which are listed as 8/10 on the DP guide. I know Chavez II doesn't go for much money. Not sure about Bounty Bob, never seen one in the wild since I got it back in the '80s.

Back to the topic...

Pic related. The Devil Inside and Hellboy for PC, boxed (and also factory sealed). Don't mind the 2 others games in DVD cases the pic was taken for another purpose.
Rare but not worth anything because sadly nobody cares about them. I got them for 25 cents each.

Very few people in general care about older PC games boxed which is why they are hard to come by and also not worth anything.

That's sad because they are generally quality collector items. Great looking with nice manuals too.
