I'll need to check my collection, but the rarest one I own is probably Folklore. It's more "uncommon" than rare and I got it for a nice bargain price so, maybe not.

Yeah, the early 2000's were a weird time. Watching Saturn games that people were desperate to offload just a couple of years earlier skyrocket in price was bizarre. I bought a few of the most valuable ones at retail prices on release, others were picked up for a few quid in '98/'99.Saga is definitely up there with what I'd consider rare. Complete copies run about $450-$500. That's normal for quality Saturn games.

It's going to be hard to top this. Top tier taste and amazing collection of legitimately rare games.Yeah, the early 2000's were a weird time.

Some pics, if anybody cares.
Those are pretty common, $5-$8 run of the mill SNES titles. They're not bad, fairly difficult to play, but easy to find.Super star wars for the snes as well as the empire strikes back and revenge of the Jedi sequels.
Atlus has done a good job keeping these in high print numbers. At one time they were hard to find, but you can still buy them factory sealed from Amazon for $15.Would Digital Devil Saga count as being rare or easy to find? I own the first game and I would of bought SMT: Nocturne at a Gamestop a couple years back.
Sealed collecting and rare are two completely different things. I don't equate rarity and value but there are times when they go hand in hand. A good example of a rare game that's worth a lot (mostly inflated pricing) is something like my copy of Little Samson, only a couple thousand were made and it was a late in life NES game, one of the last 25 ever released for the system. I definitely consider something that old where production numbers were below 5,000 to be legitimately rare. There are still lots of rare games not worth shit like Eek the Cat on the SNES. Retro collecting is a mess right now so I can speak for the rarity of titles and a good majority of rare retro games are also pretty valuable.I dunno, possibly something on the Sega Master System (if we're talking about western releases, at least). Or a Commodore Vic-20 game, though "rare" doesn't always translate to "high resale value", depending on demand.
More recently, I have My World, My Way on the Nintendo DS which seems to go for at least more than whatever I paid for it.
EDIT: Checking Pricecharting.com, there's often huge disparities between "new" and "complete in box". For example, Lord of the Sword, a random Sega Master System game I have that I looked up, is worth about $20 complete in box but "new" is listed at $410, 2050% of the CIB price.
^ This nigger here, I swear, you get it, you actually get what rare games are. You have a collection I would kill for in the Saturn department. Great taste and such good quality stuff too. Saturn is second to Neo Geo for top tier expensive collecting.Seeing as I dug out some of my stuff, I snapped a few more pics.
The famous Radiant Silvergun. The last Saturn game I bought brand new if I remember correctly.
Saturn Metal Slug, with RAM cart.
My Capcom fighters. Vampire Saviour, Streetfighter Zero 3, Xmen vs Streetfighter and the Dungeons and Dragons collection. Whatever the Saturn's failings, it was still the console of choice for 2d fighters. The standard joypad was sublime for them and is still regarded as the best. I have the Action Replay which doubled as a RAM cart to play them.
A nice piece I picked up a while back, Cyberbots isn't the best known Capcom fighter, nor the best playing tbh, but this limited edition with a gorgeous hardback artbook and a strange pop-up diorama.... thing is just a really nice thing to have.
I have a few other Saturn curios, but I felt these were the most worthwhile.
