What are the rarest or most unique things you have in your collection? Maybe share a pic, and/or tell us about them. It doesn't have to be a dick measuring contest. Maybe the rarest thing you have isn't all that rare. Perhaps you have something absolutely insane. Tell us about it.

I have a few rare things like the green button steel battalion controller, bobby prince Doom Music, neotokyo cd ost, but some less rare and fun stuff like the yujin gradriel figure (not 1.5ver)

About 12/13 years ago I sold my copies of Little Red Hood and Raid 2020, probably the rarest things I had.

I own an Atari 2800 but it's not functional (I gotta replace the controller ports) so that's the rarest thing in general I own. I recently got a Heavy Sixer 2600 for a really good price (wanna say $65 but it could've been $70) and it works like a dream.
>>
>>12098457
Not sure whats considered "rare" and not just in-demand pricey anymore, but stuff that probably isn't that common to come across that I know I have, includes Bomberman 93 Special Version for PC-Engine, Drowned God on PC, a FamicomBox with like 10 carts, that one Little Howie PC game that I have seen youtubers claim is "le heckin lost media!", a Starlight Foundation GameCube hospital cart unit thing, a controller from a Nintendo Super System arcade machine, some random arcade pcbs like Dark Adventure and Fantasia Best 50, some Atari carts like Beat em & Eat em, Stronghold and Glib, a book written and autographed by Ralph Baer whom I met in the early 2000s, a Sharp NES TV, some Nintendo retail representative employee items like a clip board and water bottle (I know someone who worked as one for 25 years and also gave me some not for resale N64 games), the Time-Out versions of Fire and Flagman Game&Watch and a bootleg PC-Engine Shuttle (PC-Boy) that was sold in Europe.

I wanna say maybe 10 or so years ago at a flea market, this guy had a bunch of junk just spread out on the ground on the grass and dirt. He had a heavy sixer just sitting there in a tangle of wires on the ground and I got it for 2 dollars.(though he made me may him 4 for the power adapter there with it)
>>

Unironically jealous. Though a Heavy Sixer on 2024 eBay for $65 was amazing to me. I almost hesitated because I thought it was a scam or something kek. I assumed it worked?

Dicing Knight (no period) complete in box. I also have Dicing Knight. CIB, but even though that's rare as fuck, the period-less one is much rarer. There were probably only a few dozen produced. There are no dumps online. My save battery is dead on both so I can tell much of a difference, but sans-period seems to be more of a beta. The map screen has no details, and I think the hunger gauge depletes faster? Idk though

The first ROMhack made for Journey to Silius, only about 10 copies were made for an event and it was never dumped as a ROM/patch file

It's not worth anything though and the romhack is nothing special (just gives you all weapons plus some palette changes)

I've got a sega wondermega. I don't know if its the rarest but its probably the most expensive. Unfortunately its broken. The few retro repair plaves I've contacted refuse to touch it. The mega cd aide doesn't power on and it doesn't output sound. Id like to be able to repair this myself but the diagonosis is beyond my skill level concerning the electronics repair.. one day, it'll be up and running again.

>>12099939
Nice, its a bit scratched up but still very expensive and rare.

you should probably look up if there are any "capacitor kit packs" for the system and recap the system to see if that fixes it.

I found one guy on twitter who had the same breakdown on a sega wodermega.
He successfully repaired his.

On mine, I remember the soundchip was showing signs of nearly death when it was still working. Mutli channel music tracks were out of sync. It was apparent when I was playing sonic 2 and the music didn't sound right. This console was also modded by its orignal owner in japan to output rgb and it has a region switch.. i got it for a steal too. $299. Nowadays people want 3k for em.
>>
Uh, the steel battalion controller and a 20" PVM, I paid 30 bucks for each of them.

I've never really been interested in collecting shit like games. There are a few consoles I should've probably bought when they were cheap though, like the Virtual boy and the Vectrex.
>>
>>12099970
Original xbox is great to collect for. Many games are $20. The steel battalion controllers are valuable indeed.
I just saw one go on an ebay lisiting with a reay ncie games bundle. The winning bid edned at about $384 + $154 shipping. With the games bundle it was honestly a good deal as those controllera can fetch $600+ alone. Some ebay buyer should be happy with that out there.

I got this Sega Saturn 3d pad for Dreamcast. It's basically a normal black oem 3d pad from the factory, but the attachment cartridge in back houses a board and cord for Dreamcast instead. It's pretty fucking awesome. The only downside is there's no rumble. I saw it on a Indonesian auction site and bought it through a third party service for probably 40-50 bucks in total.
>>
>>12098457
Nothing too crazy but:
- Virtual Boy console (got for $30)
- Silent Hill 3 (got for like $10)
Neither of which are "rare", just expensive
>>
>>12098457
Right now I've been buying up copies of a cheap but not too overly produced game specifically to destroy them.
I can get copies for about $5, and I've managed to keep this quiet long enough that only now is the stock issue being noticed and people are raising prices a bit.

In about a decade there'll probably be somewhere in the realm of 5000 copies left if I keep at my current pace, so that'll probably end up being my rarest game. Won't say it for obvious reasons.

I have this gold "Zelda" edition Game Boy Camera (pardon the dated pic, I'm at work). It was only sold through Nintendo Power's "Power Supplies" catalog circa 1999. As I recall, it came without a box—just the unit itself and the instruction manual in a plastic bag. Apart from the unique color, it also has some exclusive Zelda stamps and artwork from Ocarina of Time that aren't on the original model.

I recall the catalog saying it was a "limited edition" of 2000 units. Dunno how true that is, but for many years I could barely find any acknowledgment on the internet that it even existed, despite holding one in my hands. I finally started seeing one or two pop up on ebay several years back with price tags well over $1000. Listings have become more common lately, but they're still relatively rare, and it seems like they sell for $700-800. I remember when I ordered mine it was 50% off ($15) thanks to a clearance, lol. I'd never sell it, though, too many good memories.

>>12099895
That's fucking rad. When were these made?

>>12099939
Seconding the anon who suggested a capacitor kit. It might not fix anything, but it's a fairly cheap and easy effort to make.

I never knew there were any legitimately "rare" N64 games. Why is it so pricey? Just low production/distribution?

Stunt racer 64 had low production because it was a blockbuster rental only release. another thing which makes it desirable is that its very difficult to emulate. The only way to experience the game is on a cartridge. The rom will play on an everdrive cart though

I still have my dad's computer/gaming mags from the '90s-'00s, which I used to read over and over as a kid. Most came with CDs too (this used to be the main source of new software for the average PC-haver here in Brazil).
They're probably not actually that rare or anything, but I haven't seen many of them in archive.org or like places; there's a site dedicated to archiving this exact kind of thing (datassette.org) and even that is missing a lot of issues. I hope to take them to a scanner and upload them some day.

>>12101098
Ehhh, don't hold your breath, freeware stuff was usually random Flash/Klik games that got bundled by the hundreds into CDs sold by Digerati. And very few of those were regional, they probably just scraped the whole internet looking for stuff.

Brazilian gamedev is very rare even today, and back then it was almost nonexistent. Picrel is the only game made in Brazil that I personally own; it's commercial, shovelware, and still a miracle that it exists anyway. Surprisingly it's on Steam, but you could just get it from archive.org instead.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1231130/RokoLoko_no_Castelo_do_Ratozinger
https://archive.org/details/roko-loko-no-castelo-do-ratozinger

Actually, the only instance of a brazilian game that is both retro and good/interesting would be Surrealidade: Expressões do Inconsciente, from 1999. This one's an even bigger miracle. Here's a playthrough by its own developer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD1sAkKDbdE

>>12098457
The rarest actual hardware I have would be a 27" Sony Trinitron ProFeel CRT TV with the matching official Sony stand which was also made in Japan. The TV is very rare here in Australia since it has an RGB Scart input. I bought both the TV and the stand for $20 circa 2013, around the time analog TV signals were killed off here. But if I had to say actual gaming related hardware; then the only thing I can think of is an HD AV pack for the OG Xbox made/branded by a company called "Mad Cow". Found it at an e-waste facility.

This. I know the pic's from some 'i know what i have' ebay thing but it shows everything in it. The art booklet is all the character art (the Succubus doesn't have tits out sadly) and a short manga showing Maria and Alucard's seperate journeys to the castle before the game. The music CD was fucking neat before we had lossless gamerips, there's a track for each game up to SOTN with musical highlights from each. Given this edition of SOTN was my first CV game, I realised I should check out the series someday. A store was closing before there was such thing as a collector market, so I snagged it for £20 new. See it for £620 now.

Other shit I got:
Megaman X3 PAL PS1 (Probably less rare than the SNES one but holding onto it)
Megaman Legends 1&2. I SO wanted Tron Bonne but fucking nowhere had it over here.
Strider 2 with the two discs
Marvel vs Capcom PS1 (I heard recently this was rare? I liked it, before CPS2 was emulated and I had no Dreamcast)

From a garage sale I found a Commodore Plus 4 in 2018 for $5, first time finding any gaming stuff for ages since flippers usually snatch anything. I was like damn, all this time searching for C64 and I get this.

My Gamegear stopped working so I got one off ebay from Japan. I wanted to mod it for a new screen but instead of being the common VA0 its similar but with missing components and some extra ones, it seems earlier than the VA0. I couldn't install the screen because it didn't have the right connections, for instance it didn't have the crystal oscillator.

Later I got v3 which is one I use the most. The v4 elite prism has big marshmallowy looking ear pads and leds which make it look cool. But the jewel of this colletion is the new and unopened siberia v1. I scoured the internet high and low for that. I found one computer store with an old style webpapge. They had the a NOS v1 siberia in stock for its original price! I couldn't believe it. Inordered that sucker and was quite enthusiastic when it was delivered to my doorstep.

I have stacks of old pre release CDRs mostly the 'gold' types that I ended up with because I used work from home a lot even in the 90s but I would never sell them, firstly because they are not my property really and while my non discolusre and other contracts are long expired it would simply be immoral to sell them, secondly because I might get legal bother from whoever currently owns rights and thirdsdly while commecially pressed released DVDs last hundreds of years (with relatively rare exceptions due to bad manufacturing plants ) CDRs do defnitely decay quite rapidly. Anyone who buys that has a screw lose and whoever is selling it has no ethics to begin with so buyer beware! If you gave me 50,0000 and insited I sepend it on games I'd buy an early 80s mini arcade with space invaders, galaxians, star wars, outrun, pole position, asteroids and pac man instead. It's really wierd to me seeing all this stuff meing measured in dollar value though as to me it was always just worthless tat I happened to enjoy

This is the best thread I've seen on /vr/ in a while. Glad it hasn't been totally detailed by shit posters.

This Intellivision ECS is probably the most uncommon thing I have. I also have a Vectrex and a Bandai Draculajoh tabletop VFD arcade (basically Donkey Kong but with a vampire).

I got one of those at a toy expo few years ago. Got it for 25 dollars, but looking at the price sticker later, im pretty sure it was supposed to be 125, but it was sloppily written and neither me nor the lady that checked me out noticed.

I have a custom modded gp32 non lit version that has a backlight button installed. Never heard of anything like it. I'll dig it out and post a pic if the threads still up tomorrow.

I guess that's not impressive, but it's also not really a collection but just random stuff I have since I don't collect vidya.

I'm not into collecting, so i only get passed on stuff, for me it's probably the instruction manual of this game (plus the cardridge) pretty shallow, i could still have the full box of pokemon green leaf if my mother didn't throw it away for some reason ugh

CD-Rs if of a good brand tend to hold up better than people give them credit for, especially gold ones, which actually are rated to last longer than pressed discs:
https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation-institute/services/conservation-preservation-publications/canadian-conservation-institute-notes/longevity-recordable-cds-dvds.html
Most preerelease/prototype game discs are not worth a huge amount, but ones for popular titles and/or with early builds are indeed worth a good chunk of change. Of course it's your call to sell of not, but people sell the kinds of discs you're talking about all the time, and yeah the guy with the SOTN is delusional, but he could absolutely get several hundred for it, probably even $1k+

Fm towns Marty probably also jaguar, Gameboy light, boxed wonderswan crystal, epoch game pocket computer and SCV, SG1000, msx 2
I have a few expensive games too idk about rare though I don't really collect or anything like that
Stuff like earthbound, path of radiance, Thracia 776 deluxe pack, silent hill, sotn, garegga, batsugun
Seems like everything is super overpriced now so I just use ODEs and flashcarts to play games and I'm thinking of selling some of the rarer systems since like the marty doesn't have that many good games worth playing vs just emulating the arcade version.

A bunch of Hong Kong and Asian Version NES games. Nobody wants them and I bought them from some shady Hong Kong mail order house in the 90s.
>>
I'm not sure print numbers are even available, so I have no clue how rare they are, but I have most relevant Sega CD games one would be interested in.
>>
>>12106482
Do you have Mahjong?
>>
>>12106539
No, somebody actually wants that
I have what's either a Hong Kong or Asian version of Thexder for NES, it's not a bootleg. For whatever reason Hong Kong got NES carts of B-Wings, Thexder, and Macross that nobody else got.
I could never get into Mahjong and even if I saw it for sale in a catalog in the late 90s I probably wouldn't have bought it.

Last time I looked the gold ones were 50/50 I wanted to look at an old DDK and half of them would not work. They would have been no expensise spared at a big corp in the second half of the 90s. Old commerical stuff works fine. Maybe they were intended to (paranoid hat goes on). It's not m ine to sell and there is code on them.

I've got a Homm3 OEM disc that's probably the rarest thing, most valuable god knows all my collection is in my ex's attic atm.
>>
>>12106750
Man, i kinda want to get one of these just for the "Vintage" disc that contains all of the pre Doom games. I like collecting official compilation discs on pc and as far as i know, that one was only released as a part of that set.

Fuses in sega cd consoles do trip here and there, I'd start there. Probe all fuses. Then check the voltage regulator, finally recap.

My “Debugging Station” PS2 is probably my favorite item. Nice condition from a local retro store

There’s a variety of these consoles based on model revisions, this one is DTL-H30102 and it forces all region PS1 games into PAL unless you use third party tricks. NTSC consoles do the opposite. Basically it’s Mechapwn straight from the factory, but also on models incompatible with Mechapwn. The laser lens is meant for using burnt disc media, meaning better reliability, but also slower disc detection.
