Today I have found out I actually own something that is very rare!
I can't believe it!!Well.. its pretty rare, but its is worth much more than I expected it to ever be.Its a game for one of my favourite commercial bombs, The NEO-GEO POCKET COLOR!. What's the game you ask… well I'll tell you:Its POCKET REVERSI!(At one time, this game was worth between $300-$350 dollars! But tis considerably less now… :( )Unlike most rare things, the game is actually quite decent. Its quite challenging, and has quite bright and colourful graphics.I kinda stumbled apon the game by chance. I was at Milton Keynes one weekend with my family, a long time ago, and we were at Gamestop (I think…) . My little brother had broke my neo-geo a while before we went, so I was mourning its loss… Suddenly my eye focused to the back of the store. There they were, Neo-geo pocket colors!! But strangely they were not in a box. There were in sealed plastic cases with around 6 games (in their little cases, but they had no boxes or manuals!!) . They were quite expensive, I think the whole sets were £40-60, so I didn't buy it and left the store after talking with the store owners about the set, (as I was really considering it!!)When we left the store, a man followed us. When he caught up, he nicely tipped us off about another store (I think it was eplay I'm not sure…) selling the sets for half the price. My eyes brightened up, and we heartily thanked the man and rushed to the store. I picked the stoney designed neo-geo, which had 1 or 2 games I already had (such as king of fighter R2), but the rest I didn't own. Funnily enough, one of those games was Pocket Reversi, which at the time I thought was the lowest value game, second to Pacman even… Even better is that the Uk version of the game never had a box or manual anyway (so I can't be penalised)So cool story huh? Have any of you guys got a rare game unintentionally?
I have Pokemon Blue. =]
I got a Gravis Firebird 2 joystick with driver floppy for $5.
I have pokemon blue, pokemon red, 2 copies of pokemon yellow, and the American copies of pokemon gold and Silver.
Oh, and pokemon crytal as well.EDIT: Whoops forgot pokemon pinball.EDIT2 : I wish I had pokemon trading card game, then I would have all the pokemon GB games (bar green, but thats basically blue…)WOW!! Starwing!
I had that game… (I wish I hadn't sold my snes to get a N64… :( )WOW that version must be rare!Hope you've kept it in mint condition…(or played it to hell, ether way you get your money's worth… XD)I have Pokemon Red and 2 Blue versions.
Well actually when I first got it I didn't realise it was the competition version, so I was disappointed when it turned out the game had something like a 3 minute time limit and I didn't see how there was any chance of completing the game in that time. It was only when I got a "proper" copy of Starwing that I noticed the games were slightly different - the competition version had different level designs and a different cart design. After a short googling I was surprised to find it's practically the rarest game on the SNES system and worth quite a bit more than the £1 I paid for it.
The game was in really good condition when I got it, and I have looked after it well and played it a few times =DI have a buttload of stuff I bough for nothing.
Highlights are:-Colecovision with about 25+ games, great condition-Intellivision with about 25+ games w/their boxes, decent/great condition-Virtual Boy with all packaging and 4 games awesome condition-Game and Watch-Atari 2600 (was my mom's, found it at her old house) with gamesReally, I got so much stuff from all sorts of places last year, my closet is full. =/WOW!!! Thats so cool!!
I wish I was lucky enough to come across such gems…(My life is generally unlucky… Xo)I have a load of other stuff. These photos show a chunk of my collection:
