what are the rarest PAL games?

[Xtincthed]

Gimmick is up there but it's not the rarest by a long shot. Rodland, Snowboard Challenge and Phantom Air Mission take the top spots. Of the three, only Rodland didn't get a US release. Snowboard Challenge is Heavy Shreddin' and Phantom Air Mission is Ultimate Air Combat (pretty sure, anyway).

There's also a bunch of HES and Gluk unlicensed shit that is hard to come by in some cases.

Rodland is far more common then PAM and SC (but still quite rare), it's just a very high profile game which is why it's so expensive

for PAL NES some of the ESP games are crazy hard to find (all of the 3 above games are ESP coded)

PAL PS1 has some really rare games aswel, mostly early releases without the Playstation border (Hebereke's Popoito, Philosoma etc) or late releases that came in low print runs like Blockids and Destructo 2

Speaking of PAL PS1... European releases of Legend of Dragoon and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are way more expensive than NTSC US versions.

Snesguy, chance of finding anything truly deemed rare in Australia in the wild are pretty minimal. Your only real chances of finding anything rare on the consoles you have mentioned are the following games:

Mega Man Wily Wars - Megadrive
Daze before Christmas - MD/SNES
Uforia - NES (debatable if this is rare or not but gets some good $$$)
Terrinigma - SNES (same as uforia)

And pretty much the other titles already mentioned but I will say in all of my years of hunting I have not came across nearly all the games mentioned in this thread in the wild and its even worse now with everyone thinking any classic game is worth 2k monies on eBay.

yes they are more expensive then the NTSC versions, but they're by far not in the top 25 rare games.. they're just "famous" and popular, hence expensive

there are many AUS / NZ only PS1 games and sets that are really rare, the top one offcourse being Grand Theft Auto Double Feature (http://www.playstationcollecting.com...t=2564&p=24724)

PAL Knuckles Chaotix is by far the most expensive region IIRC.

I think Fire Pro Wrestling Returns might be tricky to find in certain areas. Not sure which countries or retailers got sufficient copies.

as far as I know it's onlly released in Italy and Portugal (I have both these language variants)
