Lets put the argument to rest! What is the rarest PAL Megadrive game ever??

I paid £110 for my FFS, but considering i paid £25 for Batman and robin and £45 for Sam Sho and £30ish for Marko's Magic Football sealed I think it all averages out pretty well.
hands down WCS2 blue version is the rarest and (barring one easy to get game) is the only blue MD im missing. Adam, you do not have a copy do you? You would surely have thrown that one "all up in ma face!"

It's got to be between WSC2, Separation anxiety, Death superman.
Death & Return is among the top few, but the blue World Champ Soccer 2 is far & away the rarest "normal" release - there's only been 3 copies on eBay in the last 4-5 years, whereas Death & Return shows up at least a couple of times a year.
Hell, there's been more copies of DarXide, 32X Primal Rage or MCD Batman & Robin than there have blue World Champ Soccer 2's...
And though Gary may argue otherwise, I don't personally see the blue Champions World Class Soccer & Dragonball Z as being on the same level since they're just Portuguese variants, albeit very rare ones.Last edited by anagrama; 14-10-2007, 18:59.

To put it to rest
World Class Soccer (blue version) IS RAREST PAL.

It depends on exactly what your criteria for "rarest PAL Megadrive game" is though. Here's my take on it:
Hardest game to get hold of: (probably) Death & Return of Superman
Rarest "original" release (ie, not Sega Classics version or other reissue/variant): World Championship Soccer 2
Rarest cover variant: Portuguese Champions World Class Soccer (possibly debatable)

An interesting question .. I would tend to agree, but not everybody will. In a lot of ways, the US NES game Stadium Events is not really much more than a cover variant of Track and Field ... but that doesn't prevent it from being enormously rarer and more valuable. Again, a PAL Kizuna Encounter on the Neo Geo is a very similar beast.
In the end it's down to your personal goals. If you want to collect all the games for a certain system, and decide not to include label variants then fine. But you can't pretend that they don't exist, or that they may or may not be rarer/harder to find than other versions.

It is really a matter of opinion. I mean some of the rarer games came really quickly and easier to me. In personal experience I wouldn't call Theme Park on the MCD rare, whereas other people would. I would call Starblade rare on MCD whereas other wouldn't.
Although i stand by my statement, WCS2 is my personal holy grail. It was Sonic Blast on gg until i paid an OBSCENE amount for it.
