The special edition 2 disc of Blood (had a Type O Negative music video, a Windows theme, and other goodies). Not certain how rare it is, but I remember that it was pulled from shelves rather quickly for some reason.
Maabus
Primal Rage
And the rarest by far: A huge shareware/Doom map compilation disc that was only sold at computer shows in central PA.
I had a few rare compilation discs, actually, but I can't remember the names of them. Shame, since I'd give your right leg to find them again.
You mean I should post a list like this.
Curse of Monkey Island
Escape From Monkey Island
Broken Sword 2
Z
Koala Lumpur
Brutal: Paws of Fury
Halo: Combat Evolved in original big box form
Frogger (the 3D one)
Command and Conquer: Red Alert
Beach Head 2000
Deer Hunter II
Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Driver 2
1602 A.D.
The Oregon Trail
Tony Tough and the Night of the Roasted Moths
Psychonauts
Another one that might be rare WOULD be Lego Island, but I lost the CD
Star Trek 25th Anniversary
Star Trek Judgment Rites
Star Trek TNG A Final Unity (very rare one!)
FX Fighter
That's a few I can think of right now. I also have a game called Iron Helix that I've never ever played. No idea what kind of game it is.
I also have "Neverhood". A pain to get, it was
For me, I guess, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner still in PERFECT condition. I could easily sell it for 100+, but I love to have it in my collection.
I've a copy of Grim Fandango is good condition, which I assume most here have.
I've a few Wii games that're now apparently rare, but I don't remember the titles off my head. I'll come back and edit this with the full list later.
Final Unity is rare? Awesome, add that to my list.
Heretic (in original box)
Doom II (in original box)
Monkey Island II (in original box)
then I have some more recent ones (all in original boxes) such as
Grim Fandango

Ooh, nice! I'll be keeping them for myself, though, as they are quite dear to me. I also found Freddy Pharkas (the embossed, really large box). Maybe I'll showcase these on a special shelf just to show off my geekness.
If you google it, you get barely anything, but I did manage to find that the game was based on "Thomas Og Tim", a Danish cartoon.
Really? Or is this person selling a very good bargain?
That is for me. I never knew this game got a PC release.
But my brother also bought some old D&D books which are known to commonly go for sale of 125 each he bought them all for $60 (total) due to ebay
and I found a WH40k unit thatretails at $100 unpainted and not assembled being sold for $10 built and painted.
Way to miss the entire point of this thread.
...
It's not about the game in itself, it's about having a rare item that few other people have. I guess you're not the collector type of person.
Thats a big list :eek:
But some games arn't that rare. Deus ex for example is £5 with the 2'nd game, how ever the original sealed game is worth £20 (used is only worth 40p lol) and is always in stock.
P.S £1=$1.5
Other way round I'd imagine, seeing as 1AUD = 0.87USD currently, and I can't imagine the AUD being worth more than the £.
what are a few other good old games to track down
Basically I have all the original Humungous Entertainment games.
Both original MI games in their original packaging, and I have S&M HTR; PC version. And to conclude this unimpressive little collection. I own Day of the Tentacle.
I am a collector type of person I just try to hunt around before seeing TM2 for 150 and buying it on the spot then.
Looking around I've seen a bunch of people selling the game with it's orignal case and manual for $2. Same with the other's in the series (Except Black and Head-On Twisted Edition). Just because one chooses to have a place holder while he finds the orignal doesn't count out his collector-ness. trust me, I've gone out of my way to get a few of my old games back (most of which were stolen so I'm pissed about re-buying them) and to get some games I missed out on. Currently I'm just even trying to find a Copy of Persona 1 orignal and P2, and get the money for them.
Oh yeah. silly me :P
Ok, fine, you just didn't make yourself very clear back there. The reason TM2 can even sell at 150 bucks is that some people are actually willing to pay that much for the game, based on how rare it is. Of course it's better to get what you want for less money, there's no arguing that. You've got a good point there, too, in that the hunt for the item in itself is a huge part of what collecting is all about.
And I just bought TM1 in it's orignal Long Box with everything included for 1.25+4 shipping.
And yeah sorry about that, I'm a bit weird with wording and such. I should work on wording my thoughts better but I often respond to forums when I'm tired.
Also my Fiance just bought Brave Fencer Musashi in near perfect condition case, manual, both discs[yes the FF8 demo] are all in perfect condition for $15. I was surprised to it was such good condition. Same with Persona 2, which also shocked me. As that game goes for in bad condition at like 70-90 on average.
Silpheed (DOS version)
Commander Blood <--- super rare, even rarer is it's french-only sequel!
Metal Marines (windows 3.1)
Extreme Pinball
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy
Atomic Bomberman
Creep Night pinball something or other.
Some of the other games I'm reading on the other posts are bringing back memories, like Lemmings or Stellar 7/Nova 9.
I'm actually a self-proclaimed old game connoisseur...many of the games I know and love are even older than myself.
