		What are the most rare genesis\32x\CD titles? (Im asking because I collect them) Some of the most rare genesis titles that I know of: Genesis ------------------- ------------- 1. Pirates! GOLD 2. Toe Jam and Earl 3. The Death and Return of Superman 4. Phantasy Star series 32x ------------------- ------------- Darxide Any others you can think of?

		Sonic 1 version 3 (with the spike bugfix)

		it290	Jun 28, 2005
		There's actually a version without the spike death thing? Was it released in the US? I wonder why they didn't use that version on the 6-pak cart (and other compilation carts). Same with the water effect in Labyrinth Zone.

		" 2. Toe Jam and Earl" Are u sure its a so rare game (I have it so I wonder )? Might and magic, gates to another world (US version), I got it, I sold it but I never saw it anymore for years... Seems to be a damn rare game... Any idea? A rare game is certainely: Vectorman (contest edition with winning cartridge)... You remember, the vectorman contest...

		Space Adventure Cobra for sega cd seems almost impossible to find now days. In fact, you'll probably find 35 snatchers to every 1 Space Adventure Cobra. Earthworm Jim for Sega CD, Drug Wars for Sega CD.

		I don't think TJ&E is THAT rare -- just fairly rare and in high demand. Kinda like Radiant Silvergun

		Swampfly	Jun 29, 2005
		yeah I just snagged TJ&E off ebay for $39 complete. Oh and I forgot to mention "Rings of Power" thats another rare one, and can you believe it has a nude intro screen! Im wondering how they got away with this.

		it290	Jun 29, 2005
		Might & Magic is pretty common actually, although you don't see them that often complete with instruction manual (really a necessity for enjoying the game). Same with Rings of Power. And about the 'nude intro' thing, you can only get to that screen by entering a code, it doesn't just pop up.

There were 3 versions of Sonic 1.

v1: regular

v2: commonly known as Japanese version (prolly cause it came out later and thus allowed for more tunings). Has moving clouds in Green Hill and ripple effect in Labyrinth.

v3: same as v2 but has spike bugfix. Jap only, and theres nothing on the cart/box/etc that tells if its v3 or v2.

Dunno about the sega compilations, but Sonic Mega Collection had all 3 versions. The only known Rom of the third version was dumped from that.

		I got TJ&E for $3 loose. I bought it because "it's not a good game, just an important one".

I thought Pachuka owned all 3 versions at one point.

		I think Snow Bros. Japanese Cart is supposed to be pretty rare, but I'm not sure. I found a shop with two brand new copies & bought one for 15 Euros.

		ExCyber	Jul 15, 2005
		Phantasy Star MD Alien Soldier (legit Japan cart; has this even been dumped?)

		20by20	Jul 31, 2005
		Is there really a version of Phantasy Star for the Mega Drive? From what I recall, there is no rom dump and it isn't listed anywhere. Thus, I will assume that it doesn't exsist.

		Primal Rage for the 32x is rare, as is Venom, total carnige or whatever it is called.

There's 2 reasons for no ROM dumps. First, only 1000 copies were supposed to have been made. Second, the game is actually the SMS version, re-wired to run on a Genesis. It's said it doesn't work on a Nomad or Genesis 3.

		Here are some games that I know of and there order of rare-ness... Highest Value: Shining Force II 2nd Highest Value: Pirates Gold Shining Force 3rd Highest Value: Operation Europe Pac Mania Phantasy Star II Phantasy Star IV Scooby Doo Mystery Streets of Rage III Toe Jam and Earl I had a chance to buy Pirates Gold for $10.00 one time and passed up on it I have also never seen a copy of Shining Force II before, only pictures... I wish I had this game, now that I think about it, maybe I'll play it on an emulator...
