Keyser Soze Games!

Thought i'd start a thread about those games that you just can't seem to bloody find anywhere! I'm sure we've all been in this situation before, where you're after a game/game item that's not mega-obscure or anything but you just can't track the bugger down . So i thought i'd start a thread where we could not only discuss experiences we've had hunting those elusive wee swines, but it could kind of compliment the wanted thread, in that other people might be able to help each other along the way
For example, i've been after Taito memories Vol1 (Joukan) with the bonus booklet for an age, thought it wouldn't be that hard to get hold of, but it's proving more elusive than a fully functioning Xbox 360

So what games/items have others had a nightmare tracking down? If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the NTSC-UK Team

I sold a copy of kula world for the playstation a few years back and have since come to regret it. I haven't looked especially hard but I always keep a shady eye out for it in second hand stores with no luck. I dont really want to pay crazy ebay prices. I basically want to pay a quid.

Team Buddies springs to mind...

I'm having a ridiculously hard time tracking down a US copy of Manhunt. They're out there, but each time I manage to find one on eBay there's a problem with the listing (Like they don't list shipping costs, and they answer me an hour before the auction ends... at about 4 in the morning our time) or it's disc only/unboxed/without manual etc...

Daft that you can find PAL copies no trouble, given it's the only territory it was banned in.

I've got a vague recollection that you're after the Xbox version, but in case I'm wrong the PS2 edition is only ?13 at VG+

[Number45]

Actually, I am after the PS2 version. I haven't used VG+ for ages and kind of forgot to look there.

I became such a snob with the whole french text thing.

Racing Lagoon for the PSone? and bizarrely I've been after Kaze no Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for a fooking eternity... how is that not common I thought it'd have sold like fresh used schoolgirl panties in Japan...

[SuperDanX]

Must admit, I've never heard of this either and I like to consider myself fairly clued up when it comes to SF... I'd be interested to hear about anything anyone is able to find!

[Dogg Thang]

GC Zelda TP. Someone in work just got this after trying to track it down since release.

[SuperDanX]

I cant find Jap GBA games The pinball of the dead and Silent Scope. If anyone could point me in the right direction there may well be a prize*

What has this got to do with Harry Houdini? Shouldn't it be "Shergar Games", or "Lucan Games" or something?
