The 7 Rarest Video Games of All Time

[@Larry]

There's also Chase HQ II on the GX4000, only two known copies went out to retail.

[@AlmostSomething]

Now I have to find this game!!! Thanks for the comment

[@owllymannstein7113]

LARRY, THIS IS A CHANNEL WITH LESS THAN 600 SUBS AND A VIDEO WITH 2.6K VIEWS, HOW ARE YOU HERE?

[@AlmostSomething]

Not sure of the answer either, but I will HAPPILY take it!!

I appreciate your delivery; too many gaming youtubers have an extremely unnatural cadence.

Thanks man! Just trying to sound like a human LOL

[@latedep31]

There's also Air Raid for the Atari 2600, for which there's only one truly complete copy that sold for over $30,000. Only a handful have surfaced in any form.

Thoroughly enjoyed the video, subscribed!

[@AlmostSomething]

Awesome! Thanks so much!

[@trip2themoon]

AFAIK the guy who bought Mario for 2 million was scammed. An auction house and a game rating company were working together to hyper inflate otherwise worthless games. That Mario game sold in the millions so anyone willing to pay a 7 figure sum for a copy deserves to be scammed like that.

[@AlmostSomething]

LOL. gotta look for that story!

[@Iamnotrandom565]

why waste 7 figures on a videogame when you can play it on a browser for free?

[@JustLovett0]

I got suggested this out of nowhere on my homepage, had no idea you were such a small channel until the end of the video. Looks good, comment for the algorithm.

[@AlmostSomething]

Replying for the algorithm :) Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed!!

[@Controllerhead]

@@AlmostSomething Yes i was truly shocked i hadn't seen this channel before, and as we speak is under 1k subs. I am officially subscriber 600. I'm doing my part o7

The rarest game I own (with concrete sales data at least) is Robotrek for the SNES, known in Japan as Slapstick. In North America, the game sold 20,000 copies, while its Japanese counterpart sold 45,000. I paid $90 Canadian for a loose copy back in 2020, but it’s now being listed for over double that.

[@jasonk795]

Mr. Robot and his robot factory was a game for the Commador 64 allowed you to create your own puzzle. The exploding blocks were the best. So much fun.

[@Crimefighter]

The Nintendo Campus Challenge, you talked about the 1992 SNES Campus Challenge but showed off the 1991 NES Campus Challenge cart...good grief. And I should know cause I am the 1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge champ.

[@bobstevenson3130]

I'm kinda surprised the Mother 1 English NES carts weren't mentioned on this list. I believe somewhere between two to four prototype carts have been found, containing the fully translated game which was going to be released until Nintendo of America axed the project close to the last minute.

[@AlmostSomething]

I didn’t see that story! This video seems to be doing well - I may do a part two for NES and will check that out. Thanks so much!

[@magicmike618]

Great video, all produced software not prototypes, that list would be a lot longer!

[@EvaFull]

@@AlmostSomethingRoo from the old days of KZbin used to host a show called “16-bit Gems 💎 “ that covered the history of Earthbound in the US & the history of the NES Prototype (which at the time of the video Roo shows off his personal copy of from his collection and tells the story of how he got it).

[@lakojake4215]

$2 million? WATA scam!

[@AlmostSomething]

😬

[@john1701q]

I remember the commercials for that exercise bike. I thought it was cool back in the day

[@stephen-ng]

Most I ever payed for a game was D&D collection. Thank god for the high seas.

[@PhilipMurphy8Extra]

Great video :)

[@AlmostSomething]

Thank you very much, Philip!!

[@maghead768]

I didn’t expect a game that uses those overused polygon unity models to be featured in this video also cool video

[@AlmostSomething]

Wild right? And thank you!

[@jager8148]

Nice video! :)

[@AlmostSomething]

Thanks so much!!

[@japangamejunk]

i had a dream where my world class track meet turned into stadium events in my hand but i had to try to hide it from a wizard for some reason and then i woke up happy to live in a world with no wizardry but sad that my world class track meet was world class track meet

[@AlmostSomething]

LOL. Hey man, if it was Stadium Events, you'd be a lot richer!!

[@Sinn0100]

Ummm...rare games are still being created today. All they are is games with a limited print run. For those of us who refuse to be a participant in the destruction of the industry, physical games are still a viable resource.

[@ChikaHakozaki]

commenting on the intro, toys r us was never here where I am in the U.S. in fact theres not even a walmart in my town

Have you ever heard of, MACS Multi-purpose Arcade Combat Simulator M.A.C.S Basic Rifle Marksmanship SNES?

[@AlmostSomething]

It sounds fimiliar - and now I have to research it!

[@jonwwillis]

@@AlmostSomething I used it for marksmanship training, while stationed in Germany. Can't say it's better than the training aid I used in Basic, but I think it was more cost effective.

[@AlmostSomething]

Wow! That's...actually really cool. Had no idea NES had capabilities like that.

[@jonwwillis]

@@AlmostSomething it used a modified rife as a light gun.

[@ianhilmer2673]

I’m surprised Pepsi invaders and Flintstones: surprise at dinosaur peak didn’t make the list😯.

[@AlmostSomething]

ha! Did not hear of these games but now have to look!

[@Controllerhead]

Love the video, style, editing, and bitching about being nearly 40 😂 The end though, with the SMB game being the most expensive sale ever, while true, is unfortunately a money laundering scheme between a few bad actors who were trying to artificially pump up the WATA cart grading system. I guess the "SMB hanging tab sale" still counts, but it was not in good faith, didn't truly change hands, and is currently under investigation, it should be known. Pat The NES Punk has a breakdown video on it if you want more info.

[@AlmostSomething]

So I found that one out AFTER this video - you are correct of course. Wish I'd seen that! Amd thank you for the kind words!! Glad yu liked it.

[@walterbison]

If these games are that rare, there's a reason for that. And if you can't deduce what that is, I'll tell you: they aren't any good.

[@brianwild4640]

Back in my day toys R us did not exist for games

[@AlmostSomething]

Tragic! :)

[@asa-punkatsouthvinland7145]

Toys Я Us didn't exist where I lived when 8 was really young. They came when I was like 11 I think. Before that we had Lionel Play World

_Red Sea Crossing_ is Jewish-based, not "Christian-based".

[@ForumArcade]

If a game has only one copy then it's NOT A COPY. Unless you mean there are two instances and only one is a copy, in which case carry on.

[@lakojake4215]

If something isn't the original, it's a copy. It doesn't matter if it's the only one left.

[@LordArikado]

"Copy" refers to units manufactured for retail that are, by definition, copied from the original master version. The only way this wouldn't be considered a copy is if it was somehow the original master that all copies were made from, which is highly unlikely.
