The Rarest & Most Valuable Games In My Collection

[@sandplasma]

I picked up Earthbound for $3 at a flea market. I almost cried.

[@cccaydennn]

sandplasma omg how

[@sandplasma]

PeanutFries The guy had a box of games, mostly RPGs and he wouldnt sell them individually so he asked $15 for the whole box and Earthbound was one of them. Crazy!

[@Swordie100]

+sandplasma I need to enlist on facebook to find flea markets. xD

[@NinteSegaRarew]

Lucky for you! It's an absolute nightmare that these old-school classic retro video game titles, regardless of how rare and sought-after they are and what systems they are released on, are overpriced. I stick to a limit of probably $70 or less, which I really hope these old school classic retro video game titles that have hiked up in prices get their prices lowered by the price range I mentioned because I'm so not happy about them being too damn expensive to collect. There's absolutely no reason or excuse to raise their prices up. That's how much I really hope the bubble bursts about these ridiculously expensive prices plaguing the retro video game market. 😱😟

[@ryankennedy6778]

Wow Thanks for keeping this video up. It is great to see how the prices have changed from just 8 years ago. Also awesome game collection

[@SeriousGamer753]

The awesome thing about Pete is that he doesn't show off at all (and what i mean by that is that he said the video is not for showing off and it's like watching just a informative video about expensive games !!!)

[@skatingsam96]

I just found your channel last night and it is soooo awesome! I've been collecting games for about half a year now. That's very long but I do have some awesome stuff. I have every playstation and Nintendo system. But you have made me start to think about broadening what I want to collect. And you have given some good pointers and have shown some games that I never knew about but would be awesome to have. So thank you!

[@RubyMVmistress]

Wow, this came out two days after I graduated high school. I really wish I could restart my life so bad, I am sick of this shitty life, the past 8 years had it's ups and downs but I just wish I could go back to a happier time.

[@somethingwithbungalows]

Me too

[@loveandrockets4life]

Power Strike was ORGINALLY only available through mail in via Sega's quarterly newsletter, but after about a year in order to liquidate inventory, Toys R Us sold copies.

[@IRahkuBz]

GameStop be like : we can give you 100$ for all

[@aaronkemp7789]

I own Crimson Gem Saga (PSP), as well as Dark Alliance II (PS2). MGS2: Substance (PS2) was really hard to find for me. Thanks for sharing this.

[@wowdave85]

This is a great idea for a video.Im glued to the screen as per usual Thanks Pete!

[@halo6534]

No you shouldn't feel creepy, thats how alot of people feel while watching something. A channel that makes us feel happy and comfortable watching it. A relaxed environment that lets us rewind and recharge our batterys after a shitty day. I know life can suck ass sometimes, but we gotta look at the simple things in life. Music, movies, video games, youtube videos help keep me sane and get me through the day.

[@MrFeyerwire]

I remember a coworker at work telling me how he had just bought this game called Steel Battalion, over a decade ago LOL. It was totally mind blown and we talked about it for hours as we worked LOL

[@DrZafi8v]

I like how you have so many different games. I use your games as my guide to help me find new games that I want to try. I commend you for how unbiased you are most of the time. Great videos! Sorry to hear about your recent computer crash.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

All those Reproduction Sega games are damn awesome.I keep kicking myself for never picking them up :\ Fuck yeah to Tail Concerto, bums me out many people have not checked that game out cause it's a lot of fun. Gotta love Atlus :D Can't believe you got Waterworld 0__0 That game is a pain in the ass to find but sucks so many balls lol Lunacy is a pain in the ass to find. Never once have i seen the game in person. Sucks cause i heard it's pretty neat very very nice vid man

[@PeteDorr]

I have always been holding onto my games my whole life, but I did not realize there was a video game collecting community out there doing the same thing as me until I was about 12 or 13 years old.

[@SoftOtaku]

I found Trip World in a GB lot on a Japanese auction site 5 minutes after watching this video. Total coincidence! So glad I had seen your video, because I won the bid. I didn't know about the game before. Thanks!

[@Jazzberry_jam]

i never knew dark alliance II was that rare, the game shop i go to by my house used to sell that for $10 all day every day but the owner is pretty good about keeping up with prices so i wouldn't be surprised if he's updated the price

[@kevgor138]

my top ten rarest: 10-Hagane 9-final fight guy 8-aero fighters (snes) 7-evo 6-super noahs ark 3d 5-donkey Kong country competition 4-starfox super weekend 3-waku waku 7 (neo geo mvs) 2-puzzle de pon R! (neo geo mvs) 1-exertainment mountainbike rally/speed racer combo cartridge

[@RE-LOOIE]

I think I can say with the utmost certainty that your videos can NEVER be TOO long, Pete :)

[@tcoom76]

This man has a passion and that's something I think is admirable, but I can't get over how he would be able to play all those games, I mean I like to buy maybe 3-4 games a year and master those, that's it.

[@royalnaz1]

video game collecting is quite profitable pete dorr is smart for a starting this collection

[@cecillbill]

Awesome rare games, PeteDorr! Sadly, I sold 99% of the rare, boxed, complete games I owned for SNES, PS1, Dreamcast, PS2 to help fund my university education and a move to Hawaii in late 90s. It was certainly worth it, but now that I'm done with school and back in mainland USA, I want my collections back! In re-building my collections, for now, I'm only going to collect the games I loved playing, won't care if they are complete), so none of my systems will ever have complete game collections.

[@PWheat23]

Great video Pete! I have finally decided to buy myself a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga and hopefully pull the trigger 2 weeks from today. I took the first step last week and bought a Sega Saturn for the sole purpose of getting that game. I cant wait to play it!

[@SkyzzzGaming]

I hope you bought it

[@PWheat23]

@@SkyzzzGaming yeah I did, and I still have it. I think I paid 350 for it complete in mint condition

[@PWheat23]

@@SkyzzzGaming and 10 years ago sounds about right when I got it. I was making 8 dollars an hour at that time, so it probably took 2 weeks for me to save up the money.

[@SkyzzzGaming]

@@PWheat23 Thats great news im so happy for you what a steal !

[@bENOFFICIALMASSIVE]

YESSS! I found your channel. I really enjoyed a PS3 games vid you did last year. I think it was an old vid but I saw it last year and thought this dude knows what he's talking about and he's hell passionate as am I so cheering I dfound u and subbed and I'm gonna watch EVERY vid of yours! Mad respect and look forward to watching more mate. PEACE :)

[@videogameobsession]

That Mario Tennis VB box was actually not a Blockbuster only box. We had them at our old Babbage's store. I kept a few of them, but we ended up throwing out about 10 others. I wish I had kept them all!

[@PeteDorr]

That distinction would likely go to Clay Fighter 63 1/3 Sculptors Cut. Why? This particular version was ONLY available at Blockbuster, so finding a complete boxed copy is incredibly hard to do and is very expensive because very few boxes have survived.

[@Z39hyrr]

I love this video, most of the time when I watch a video for a game that's over a hundred or two hundred dollars the person will say that it is a definite must buy, but it's nice to see someone admit that even though it's a nice game it's not quite worth the price

[@BelladonnaXIII]

evolution 2 for dreamcast is getting pretty rare now used to love playing that game

[@LightFykki]

This is a pretty good collection. Especially since you managed to get most of these games before they sky rocked in price. You definitely hold a lot of value in them.

[@jrez8225]

Hyper Duel! Yes!! Showing some love for Technosoft. Great shmup with an amazing soundtrack.

[@cecillbill]

Believe I first a PS2 in 2001. I sold almost all of that collection to help fund studies, the move to Hawaii in 90s was with money I saved/sale of other systems and other things. Way I wrote it wasn't clear, lol.

[@PeteDorr]

I was after it for a long time many years ago, but when they announced VP:Lenneth on PSP I settled for that version.

[@hermes_job_observer144]

Lunacy's one of my favorite Adv./ FMV games and up there on my top Sega Saturn list. D and Enemy Zero are up there as well.

[@Icywolfoskelsos]

Wow, I never knew Tomba was going for that much. That game is amazing.

[@empire0]

Good video, nice to see you tell what it's worth/what you paid, it's interesting how games increase/decrease in value almost at random sometimes.

[@slassrrts9077]

What is the highest amount you have ever paid for a game? And which game was it?

[@coldplay055]

LOL when you said Wizardry and held it up for the PS2 I almost died, I got that game for free from someone along with a sealed copy of Zelda Four Swords Sealed and a Sega CDX system with Sonic CD in it and the genesis version with older artwork I believe. I kept wizardy in case I might be interested in it. Thanks Pete!!

[@Orpheusftw]

Yeeeeeaaah, I was hopin' I'd see some Suikoden II in there. I actually own all those ps1 games you mentioned as well. Rock on brotha.

[@Captainn4t]

yes, it took me forever to find it after i heard about it and people call it the unofficail child of chrono trigger, so if you like indepth time travel rpgs its probably my favorite game for ds

[@JackDoe1]

Same here, I collect games but I only seek out what I'm genuinely interested in playing, and I've played 100% of my games.

[@unstoppableExodia]

You'd be horrified to see what a mint complete AU copy of snow board kids 2 goes for in the land down under

[@DaniRadioCat]

I have quite a few rare ones... Suikoden II and V, all three Shadow Hearts, Chrono Cross, Sky Gunner, Alisia Dragoon, Truxton, a few rare Atari 2600 games, Radiant Historia, The World Ends with You...

[@ningygamer]

pete, it's always a delight watching your videos!!! good collection!!

[@antrite08]

just Love your collection pete man! your whole collection is just awesome!

[@tomapple64]

only game of your entire list of your rare games i have is the 1st run preorder copy of Radiant Historia with the music cd mine is in the same condition yours is in and i'm glad i bought it, i preordered it because i was curious when i heard about it in nintendo power, most of my friends still haven't ever heard about it lol great video i'm glad i got to see your rarest games :D

[@PeteDorr]

Fye actually, I have never bought a shirt from them before but I saw this there and had to buy it.

[@drifter848]

I remember buying games from kmart wallmart type stores etc for a dollar in some cases and when all the rental video shops were selling stock id buy there collections for so cheap then resell the so called rare retro games to specialy shops for a awesome profit then buy new games lunch gas cigs etc etc I learned so much from collecting comics cards as a kid and when I figured out you cant take it with you theres no point I cleaned up and made a fortune

[@Stealthborn]

It is safe to say these games blow me out of the water. The only thing I have which is close to anything that Pete has is Aero Fighters for the SNES.

[@drclaw411]

I LOVE Tomba! I played the heck out of that. Still have it complete, black label. Unfortunately my parents made me write my name on it to bring it to friends' houses, so it's definitely not mint. Still, love the game and I wish the series was revived.

[@alexwolfguitar]

Fire Emblem Path of Radiance complete with a near-mint disc is my most (and only) expensive/rarest game.

[@chuckmanson7949]

you make the best rarity videos. subscribed

[@PeteDorr]

Very nice! A complete Hagane just sold on ebay recently for $610. Kinda fishy because this sellers games all sold for nearly double their normal going rates, but if the buyer was legitimate that is one expensive buy...

[@PeteDorr]

I have, its pretty rare but the game itself does not interest me much from a gameplay standpoint, so I am not seeking it out for my collection unless I find it cheap somewhere.

[@Friesnchip]

Great video Pete, really enjoyed it. I was wondering though, have you considered doing a video similar to this with your consoles and video game merchandise?

[@SleptOnYT]

Your vids some how all ways get me excited and you also got me into old game thx mate!

[@HatesStupidPeople194]

haha thats because pete is such a down to earth and good guy. i love his videos.

[@16bitbrit]

One of your best vids Pete!

[@jimdandy6336]

nice collection man. the rarest games I own is thousand arms and dot hack quarantene

[@PeteDorr]

It is just a shame that Prehistoric Isle 2 never made its way outside of arcades, unless you have an MVS.

[@Ujustg0tFragg3d]

no problem! if you're ever lookin for any games just ask and I'll point ya in the right direction. I'm busy collectin a lot of N64, PS1, and PS2 games and I'm an avid Xbox 360 gamer so I really know my way around haha!

[@kevgor138]

Also I have Pulstarr on MVS. Never seen a Neo-Geo CD version before,

[@mariogamefreak1]

The rarest game I own are 1.Klonoa for the PS1 which I sold for 70 dollars on eBay 2. Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Collectors Edition 3.Super Bowling for the N64.

[@teflonvaughn1470]

You made a list of games you own and listed a game you sold. Way to go

[@Reapus]

I own in all mint condition and complete, Earthbound, all 4 .Hack games, all 3 .Hack G.U., Secret of Mana, Cave Story 3D and some other stuff I can't think of right now. I have over 300 games.

[@rbust]

I sold my Panzer Dragoon Saga for 100 dollars when ebay was new. I love that game.

[@jupreindeer]

Oh, you're making me groan with the information about those Virtual Boy values. For I once owned that stuff. Alas, as far as having owned them, I'd never try to regain any of those. Now, several of the titles via pain free emulation is another story.

[@SELG88]

dude what do you do for living

[@OldSkoolBrian]

Great stuff Pete.. I have a few of the same games as you.. I will also be doing a Video Response sometime later this week.. Good idea for a video by Josh.

[@NESsickNES]

thanks! I need to re-watch it and take notes.

[@cobradvs]

That's rare. I've seen 2 on eBay as of late. In fact I think a complete copy with a non working disc sold for like 50 bucks recently. It might be more than that, can't say for sure

[@hypersonic1337]

I agree completely about Earthbound. The prices are just ridiculous. Rarest stuff I have is Panzer Dragoon Saga, Steel Battalion (no storage box though) and a repro cart of Starfox 2 and Radical Dreamers. Got a few other stuff for N64/PS1/Dreamcast but I don't think anything that would break the 100$ mark

[@Buzzardboy09]

A really good game for the PS1 that is INCREDIBLY expensive is Team Buddies. A complete copy usually goes for $100, but it is one of my favorite games.

[@sinistermoon]

I don't have any of these lol. I totally want MUSHA and Popful Mail. Cool video!

[@RetroBreak]

pete should be like the guy who values things on antiques roadshow but for games XD

[@YaelleG]

I dont have many (maybe none!) valuable games but I have a lot of cool memorabilia from throughout the years. I try to get my sons stuff now & then but even in their mid-late teens they dont really appreciate the stuff all that much.

[@MrDjdecks]

Cant wait to see Petes Diablo 3 review

[@Palalubong]

Awesome collection! Very envious. New fan from England.

[@VargasVault]

I actually enjoy seeing these types of videos, cause I like people sharing the gems in their collection... one question, is there any place online where you can check how rare something is?

[@theflyingninja1]

Pete, these games are expensive enough! Stop driving the price up! Just kidding, i'm not a collector, I just enjoy Petes videos. He should open a videogame museum - he must have one of the best collections in America.

[@medi2153]

Baulders gate DA 2 was a great game

[@Posetus]

I was lucky enough to find a mint Tombi (PAL version) for 10€ a year or two ago. The fact that both NTSC and PAL releases of that game are hard to find is kinda interesting, because usually PAL versions are more expensive. Tales of Vesperia for instance. A sealed American copy of that goes for maybe 20-30$ or so, and a sealed PAL release is usually over 70€ ;__; Damn i want that game..

[@mathewdix975]

I really hope one day you can find and add FF7 black label misprinted "Masterpiece" copy.

[@ScottMurphy76]

yeah i thought about that...i have a credit card too....but the game has been rapidly increasing in value the last couple years...i may sit on for awhile see what the market value gets to....

[@Enchurito]

It's easy enough to boost audio in any audio/video program when editing it and if I turn up my speakers for this video they'll be blastingly loud when I watch anything else.

[@MadroxMonoxide777]

It's an expansion module that plugs into the top of a Sega Genesis. It has 32 bit graphics instead of 16 bit graphics.

[@geddoe316]

ah damn, memories. had a number of those games (earthbound big box being my baby) but sold it all in one swoop..i think around the time the ps2 came out. obviously, i regret it to this day

[@BlakRainbow39]

I remember debating in my mind over weather or not to get metroid prime trilogy when i didn't know it was a limited production. I hate myself for not getting that now.

[@xSelphie1999x]

O.o wow at your collection Think my rarest games are Chaos Break, Tales Of Vesperia and Eternal Sonata

[@Soulreaper687]

Nice collection Pete

[@Mad-Slick]

I am very envious of your Metroid Prime Trilogy.

[@SPac316]

I have a couple valuable games in mine.They are Panzer Dragoon Saga and Earthbound.I bought PDS for about $150+.Earthbound I bought back around the time it was released so I never payed a ridiculous amount for it on eBay or such.Makes me glad I never got rid of it. I lost the box and inserts for it though,but I still have the guide book for it.I also have Lunar 1&2 for PS1 CiB.I also have Alundra,Albert Odyssey and Saturn Bomberman.

[@PrinceDavid]

Somehow I got the Metroid Prime Trilogy on CLEARANCE at Target for about 15$. I don't know how I got that lucky, this was at a time when it was already rare and going for 60+ used.

[@collindigman8466]

I enjoy all of your videos. there teaching me a lot about games

[@shaggymcdaniel3216]

Almost all of these games are much much much more expensive now

[@valor992]

Of coyrse theres gonna be alot of characters in Suikoden 2, its about building an army of everything from heros, thieves, chefs to merchants... I truly love that game so I feel obligated to defend it...

[@HyperFuze]

I bought Metroid Prime Trilogy at a used game store, but no sleeve :( Also from the same store I bought a PS2 and when I went to go play a game Wizardry Tale of the Forsaken Land was in there :D I obviously don't have the case for it since it was in the system but still pretty cool :)

[@danielsandford1172]

I think the most expensive game I own is the PAL version of "The Misadventures of Tron Bonne" on PS1.

[@russell56443]

Thanks Pete,that was Great!

[@thepanayiotis1990]

Great video Pete!

[@edivadR]

Very Cool games dude!!! Mine are Rule of Rose and Kuon!!!

[@SplatterTrigger]

So many Sweet gems there my friend! One day I'll give Hyper Duel a go. I've been watching footage of it lately..... Lol
