What are some games you consider rare and hard-to-find that doesn't require downloading or buying re-releases (I'm talking about a rare game that you can physically hold in your hand)?

Guilty Gear for the PS1, Snatcher for the SegaCD and Taekwondo for the Super Famicon are some rare gems I'd like to get my hands on. Akumajo Dracula X: Chi No Rondo is hard to get if you don't have an ebay account and $100-300 to spare as well.

...........and, of course, the gold-cased Nintendo World Championship.

Crisis Beat for the PSX.

I don't think many people have got this game.

And i also had this game which was a samurai game which was completely with anime fmv's,choices you made were represented with fmv's,you made a wrong choice,you died (fmv,of course) and there was no actual gameplay,someone knows about this game?

I have no idea. Maybe a google/yahoo search on fmv games would help?

Speaking of FMV games, Fox Hunt is another one I'd like to have.

Actually Dracula X is already re-released.
It's under the name of "Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles".
Contains both Dracula X: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Both remakes, and original games.

Crisis Beat was released in the UK.. wasn't that good.  The ninja game was 'Ninja Hayate', for the Sega CD, it was also released as a double pack along with Time Gal for the PSX.  Fun games!

I have Radiant Silvergun, as well as DJ Wars, Final Fight Revenge (Which wasn't that bad... ok, maybe it was, but I liked it enough to write an FAQ for it) and Groove on Fight.  Although I'm rather happy that I managed to get the Japanese version of Rage of the Dragons on NeoGeo. :)

i just made a thread exactly like this  --; Anyway, marvel vs capcom is rare, especially for the dreamcast, but is quite common on the internet mostly because of programs like GGPO
It's true that if you own a PS3 then all arguments made by those who don't have one are invalid.

 It took me forever to find the Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga games. But now I'd really like Ikaruga or Gotcha Force. Gotcha force mostly because I'm currently obsessed with mecha. Unfortuneatly, I have no access to ebay. Also, Makai kingdom.

one of the hardest games that I had to track down was 1st release of Xenogears , One I still haven't found X-men COTA (I do have it but I got it at a pawn shop and the disk is scratched to shit...)

In the times when Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for the PS2 was not yet released or announced Street Fighter III 3rd Strike for the Dreamcast was a very uncommon game. People offered it for hundreds of dollars on auction sites.

Tomba for the PSX.
Holy Shit, That was one of the most awesome game experiences I ever had in the 90's.
Such a rare and uncommon game nowadays, In the local selling sites the game is very expencive (Something like 45-80 euro's, But I'm talking about the PAL version)
where there is a will,there is a way。
Sounds like you're just jealous that Duke Nukem has a bigger dick and gets ALL the bitches.
