Well, I got mine because I pre-ordered. Never having played the original on SNES, I was wondering whether you thought it was worse than the original cart from which it was ported.Originally Posted by bluberry

You will not be forgotten.
R type III is a pile because they lost the original code and had to resort to emu to make the game....which turned out broken. As for other games that I consider rare, I second Tactics Ogre and River City Ransom.

When you're talking about rare (or HTF) games you should state where you come from or which version you're talking about! A few of the games mentioned (ie Mech Platoon or Klonoa) are really easy to get in the UK as European releases so I presume most of you are talking about US or Japanese releases!!
Anyway over here, in Scotland anyway, I've never seen a copy of Lady Sia, Urban Yeti or Car Battler Joe in the wild and I've never even heard of CIMA!!
I have yet to see R-Type III, River City Ransom EX, Urban Yeti, or Car Battler Joe in the wild.
Rock N Roll Racing would be a nice find too, if I don't find an SNES copy first.
How about Snood? I've never seen that one in the wild.

Finding these titles "New" is rare to me:
Lunar Legend
Ninja Five-O
Super Ghouls 'N' Ghosts (Been a while since I have seen this new)
CastleVania: Harmony of Disonnance
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival
Sonic Advance
DOOM 2 and even the original DOOM is getting hard to find
Double Dragon Advance (Haven't seen much of this in stores in three cities where I am)
Tactics Ogre
Phantasy Star Collection (It's getting there so far)
Breath of Fire (Sometimes I can find part 2 more then one)
Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2
Tony Hawk 2
Chu Chu Rocket
Column's Crown
Mega Man Battle Network 1
R-Type III: The Third Lightning
Wario Land 4
swlovinist hit the nail on the head. R-Type III is a really bad port due to those reasons. Clipping errors, scoring errors, massive hitbox, etc, etc.

Snood can be found at TRU, two GBA games for 24.95, some of the titles are Snood, Medal of Honor and others I cannot remember now. I also found Breath of Fire at KB for 15.95. And finally I have CIMA: The Enemy!!
I own alot of GBA games and really not sure which are rare or common...found them all at my local Babbages & EB Games.
Checkout my collection link in my sig and tell me if any of the 61 GBA games I own are rare?...thanks

I'm waiting for confirmation, but an insider at Majesco told me last night that the run for Bookworm was under 50,000 pieces. Odds are they're won't be a second run since the title came out over the summer and they're still out there. I'm waiting to see if he can get the actual number for me, but it might not be until after new years.

Sonic Pinball Party.
My wife wanted it last year, I waited to get it, and then when I went looking for it later on it was nowhere to be seen. Apparently it ended up as a Target exclusive, and I ended up searching the used game stores in Wichita AND Kansas City (yes, ALL of them) and never saw one.
I ended up buying a "new" copy on eBay for roughly retail price, only to find out that it was a pirated version (mailed directly from Taiwan) when it arrived.
Anyway..
Thanks, I was wondering how they messed that up (and I'm wondering how I missed that post when I responded the first time around ).Originally Posted by swlovinist
And I've since seen River City Ransom EX a few times, used and new. Same with R-Type III. Neither don't come up too often though, so I would say they are tough to find. I've never seen Rock N Roll Racing (but I've at least found a cheap copy of the SNES version since that post ).Originally Posted by On July 22, 2004, I
Regarding Strike Force Hydra, I bought it at EB yesterday (the fact that it was a vertical shmup, complete, and priced at $3.99 used sealed the deal). I can't recall ever seeing another copy of the game in the wild, though, so I'm not going to be surprised if it's one of the hardest GBA games to find in the future.
I've seen Aero The Acrobat about three or four times in the wild over the past six months, including the copy I got at EB recently.
I can only recall seeing Sonic Pinball Party once or twice at the most.
As for Snood, Fry's had a deal on Black Friday where that and SimCity2000 were included with the purchase of a GBA SP.
And since the game wasn't released the last time this thread got a response, I see Riviera as a future hard to find title.
And I'm still looking for a copy of Car Battler Joe.
Sonic Pinball Party was DAMN hard to get.
Being a Canadian, there was NO chance of finding it outside ebay.
My rarity list goes to include:
Bookworm
Super Collapse 2
Ultimate Brain games/Card Games
Mr. Pants (outside of Canada, common here)
Bubble Bobble (I've only seen 1 Microplay here carry it)
Space Invaders
Might need to add Riviera, unless Atlus does a second printing. The EBGames and Gamestop near me only got in about a half-dozen copies between them, the last of which I bought, and both chains websites show it as backordered now.
what about karrnaj rally? Havent seen that one too many times
