These days a game is only really rare if it doesn't appear on ebay every other month.
Oh and Dragon Ball Z (PAL SEGA Saturn) got released in France & Spain, resulting in the reason there is two cover designs for it.

Are you sure they were not US NTSC versions mate? The PAL versions were never released in the UK and I think it far more likely that somone whould have imported US versions into this country as at least they would have had English Instructions and English on the box.3DS FC (updated 2015): 0447-8108-3129

Originally posted by S3M View PostSome of those are a bit debatable as to how rare they are, Captain Commando I?ve seen a lot on ebay. There's about 50 PAL games that are very rare, Megaman X3, Super Chase HQ and Final Fight 3 should go on that list in truth the SNES is a real minefield for rare games.
Saturn wise Swagman and Mortal Kombat Trilogy and for the DC it?s dragon riders, Aqua GT and Caesar Palace 2000, but no DC game is that rare.
I have only seen 3 complete PAL copies of Captain Commando it in the last 5 years yet I have seen that many Megaman X3's this year alone!
I've also seen at least 4 complete Chase HQ's this year and 2 or 3 Final Fight 3's.
Maybe Megaman X3 gets a higher price than most PAL SNES games but that does not mean it is rarer! It's really because there are so many Megaman Fans out there so the prices of all Megaman retro games are always pushed high.

Oh, back on thread.
You've no chance of finding the likes of Whirlo and Cool World etc. at a car boot. Especially since they weren't sold in UK outlets.
All PAL unless stated less rare but still desirable titles - but you've no chance really of seeing them in a UK car boot, mainly since they were mostly released outside of the UK and imported by collectors-
Final fight 2 (German yellow box)
Earthbound (US)
E.V.O. (US)
Harvest Moon (Aus)
Lufia (Aus)
Anything published by Titus (PoP2, Oscar, Ninja Warriors, Wild Guns, Whizz etc. but not The Brainies)
Any of the Dragonball Z games
Fatal Fury
Fatal Fury 2
Any of the Capcom scrolling fighters (as well as CCommando, Knights OT Round, King of Dragons)
You've more chance of seeing these (but still not a great chance!!). If you do, bag em cos they'll go for a nice price.
Terranigma
Bomberman 3
Hagane
Final Fight
Secret of Mana
Sparkster
Super Double Dragon
Double Dragon and Battletoads
Turtles in Time
Super Adventure Island 2
James Pond Crazy Sports
The Adventures of Batman and Robin
The Lost Vikings 2
Hagane
The Firemen
Castlevania Vampire's Kiss
Pocky and Rocky 2
The Death and return of Superman
Super Mario All Stars and World
Run Saber
Ultimate Mortal Kombat
Lagoon
Ranma 1/2
Super Turrican
Super Turrican 2
Hungry Dinosaurs
Megaman x
Mr Do
Hook
Sunset Riders
Tintin in Tibet
Any Marvel superhero game except Spiderman Arcades Revenge and Hulk (especially Spiderman AA, Spiderman Seperation Anxiety, War of the Gems, Mutant Apocolypse)

CastleVania: A Vampire's Kiss on the SNES is a scarce one (loosely based on the PC Engine CD game). I found it in an indie store for ?11.99 years ago, have since seen it command upwards of ?100 complete on ebay. Never tend to see it complete very often at all now. Though lately there have been a fair few cart only's suddenly appear.

I only collect for Sega systems and in my experience there isn't that many truly rare games for them, most appear at least twice a year on Ebay/forums. Variations of games however, now that's a totally different story.
Perfect example would be Sonic 2 on the SMS, one of the commonest games available for the system. But, try finding the Master System 2 box variation of the game, extremely rare.
Game Pak 4 in 1 for the Game Gear springs to mind too. Cart only copies are included with pretty much every GG bundle on Ebay, but you try finding a complete copy.
