You just gotta close your eyes and wish really hard, till you have a stroke or something. Thats what worked for me, YMMV.

Half-Life.

RARE games as in they're hard to find, not by the company rare.
Half-Life was never actually released (same with propellar arena and flintstones viva las vegas, but they shud have prototype white discs out there).
Isn't shenmue 2 somewhat rare?
Virtual-On: Ontario Tangram is at least worth 30 bucks and is good.

if you haven't figured it out yet, Soul Fighter is one of the most hated games on the DC...was very close to buying it back in the last days of its shelf life but after reading the reviews at planetdreamcast.com I am glad I didn't buy it even if it was 6 something at target clearance.

correct me if i'm wrong but d2 is pretty rare these days right?
ikaruga
shenmue 2
rez
I think that Shenmue Limited Edition is very rare. I believe that EBGames.com had it listed about a month or two back, but the person who ordered it only got a normal Shenmue disc.
Powerstone 2 isn't that easy to find...you'll pay about 25-40 for it on Ebay.
Try 50-60
The official Maracas for Samba De Amingo are ultra hard to find. MVC2 is kinda hard, i believe most others have been mentioned already. Oh yeah, and Gundam Side Story, thats rare.
Stree Fighter 3 Third Strike was rare and cost a bit on ebay for a while. Not sure if the price dropped after re-relese on PS2/Xbox.

Darkstalkers is rare, I was told only 5000 were made and only available through some sega store in JP.

Seriously, where? If you have a store in your area with prices like that i BEG that you contact me.

I wouldn't mind geting mark of the wolves think i'm gonna scoop a mars matrix before that disappears.
I know its not really fair to count imports as rares but black matrix was rare to begin with.

And I also have to ask... Guilty Gear X (US) is fairly rare, right? I can't find it on eBay hardly at all, and I was told it was going for over $150 a couple of years ago. I must own this, but I can't seem to find it for prices below the cost of my soul (whatever that is).

This is all relative since pretty much all Dreamcast games are rare now, yes? I mean in a matter of speaking. Good list so far. I'd just like to add Maken X to that list. It was this weird mele based fps (played a little like Metroid Prime before Metroid Prime) from the guys who do the Shin Megami Tenshi series. Very Weird and very awsome. Jojo's Bizzare adventure is kind of rare too, though not as much so as a lot of these.

It's fairly rare here in the U.S. because it wasn't released here; it was released only in Japan and in Europe. Most people who played it over here imported the PAL (European) version.

Maken X is one of the most common DC games around.

Not sure what its status is now, but a few summers ago (as the DC was on its way out), I sold an open copy of Tokyo Extreme Racer 2 on eBay for $68, and a sealed copy for $112. Just insane, even at the time. Gotta love bidding wars. ;)

Have it. Also see the GBA release. But I'm damn near positive I saw it available in stores, I know people that at least "say" they have a US copy, and GameFAQs has a US release "year", along with a bunch of reviews of the domestic version. Not to mention I've seen it on many CAG members collection lists.
I hope I'm not crazy.

I have sonic adventure which I got for free, typing of the dead I was still able to find new sealed for less then $10, the keyboard cost me a happy meal and nominal gas money in exchange for it from a friend who didn't need it anymore, heh.
I also have a strange game called "illbreed" which is..strange. One of these days I'll pick up soul calibur also, which doesn't seem rare but I enjoy it.
and I'd LOVE to get a copy of giga wing!! :bouncy:
*gasp!* shooter with storyline! *gasp!*
heehee....so good but so silly...I do love it anyway.

Seems I have most of the games in this thread. I like them all too much to sell them (although some of my lesser titles did get traded in last year). I'd say these are some favorites in my collection (regardless of rarity, but you pretty much have to go online now for these) are:
* Rez (import - much easier to buy than the PS2 version)
* Shenmue 2 (import - better than the first, great packaging too)
* Bangai-O (I love this game. It's very addictive 2D shooting fun)
* Record of Lodoss War (unfortunately, I don't have full packaging for this - not a bad action-RPG)
* Crazy Taxi 2 (not rare, but fun to play)
* Mars Matrix (great solid shooter, nice gameplay.)
* Ikaruga (import - I hear even the GC version is hard to find for cheap?)
* Gigawing 1 and 2 (short but fun shooters, eccentric characters)
* Grandia II (better than PS2 version)
* Power Stone 1 and 2 (typical fast-paced, colorful dreamcast fun)
.. and of course the Sonic games. This list just goes on and on... I'd better stop. Wow, I love my Dreamcast.

Didn't read the thread but would like to point out all dreamcast are rare to some point besides the sega sports games, of course though some are rarer than the others :D.
I hate to break it to you but i just picked up GigaWing in mint condition from the EB 50% off sale for 5 bucks.
Edit: I just checked the official list put out by Sega of all the DC US releases and Guilty GEar is NOT on it

Random questions:
1.) What on earth is Gigawing about? We use to have copies in our store (we might still have one), but I never got a chance to check it out.
2.) Which King of Fighters Dreamcast installment is the superior in your opinion? I've got Garou, which I love to death, but I just got back into KoF with 2003 and was hoping to play a good Dreamcast one. Recommendations?
well you got 2 choice if you are looking at KoF with US release. Dreamatch (actually 98) and Evoultion (actually 99) both are good games but generally people like 98 a little better. Personally i like 99 but you can also get that on PSOne. If you are looking to import you can get KoF 2000, 01, and 02. i would get 2000 just because that the last game snk worked on.

1) it's a 2d scrolling shooter, it's good. one of my favorites because of the funny little inbetween story line it has between the different captains (which make no sense really, maybe a bad translation)
2) um, i don't know...someone else knows more then I, I'm sure.
Kuma, don't be sorry to break it to us, I've never spent a lot of time looking for it, now with the sale I guess I've got a reason to go search.

I did play KoF '99 Evo on PS1 - enjoyed it a fair amount. Any major difference between that and '98 Dream Match?

Well, as far as domestic releases Dreammatch 99, which was already pointed out as being 98, is by far the superior. Thats not to say that 99 Evo isnt good, its actually great, but some people would argue that 98 is the greatest fighting game ever made. Its definatly in the top 5.
Garou is part of the Fatal Fury series and is by far the best instalment.
If youre looking to import I have to HIGHLY recommend 2002, which is just behind 98. Some people will argue its better. 2000 is also a very good choice. 2001 is definatly the black sheep of the series, but still a worthy game.

I don't understand what the big deal about PowerStone is. I own it, and I don't like it. I'd trade it, but it was a gift from my parents.
I personally haven't seen Toy Commander around that much. It's a great, and difficult game.
MaxBiaggi2
10-18-2005, 12:47 PM
Dreamcast never enjoyed the big store displays that PSone and PS2 did when it was out, and since DC was discontinued, even used games have become hard to come by locally. Most of my local stores (EB, Gamestop, etc.) don't carry DC games at all now. You almost have to go online to buy them anymore. :cry:

If you have a Game Crazy near you, most have a DC system set up for demos. Or call first to find out if one near you does infact have a demo DC up. Plus, standard in all those stores are professional disc buffing machines that can make that disc look flawless if the operator knows what he/she's doing. So if it is your disc, you can always chance it through the machine; if it wasn't working before, there's not much to lose. Just a suggestion though.
I'd import but it costs a little too much for the initial payment of the equipment needed on top of what the games normally run. Does KoF 2002 have King though? I poked through the PS2 version pretty quickly (was in a hurry), and I don't think I saw her. I'll cry angry tears of ultimate destruction she isn't in there.
But thanks for the suggestions on Dream Match. I'll probably start hunting for that with my next paycheck.

And most of the games I own for my DC are from that sale. Those prices were a buttload better than my employee discount. Got some awesome stuff from it. I wish we'd have another.
