Anyone can list a game on eBay for an absurd price, but it’s only worth that much if someone buys it at that price.Īll of that being said, these are the rarest (and most expensive) games of all time.
A game is only as valuable as the amount someone is willing to pay for it. The other factor to take into account is that rarity doesn’t always equal value. Certain games were never sold, so in those cases, we only have estimates to work with. As such, we’ll be working with reputable sites like Price Charting, which keeps records of games’ values and even has data on how much a game is worth based on recent transactions (assuming they were done publicly). In other words, someone could have a stockpile of an incredibly rare and valuable game, but without reporting it, there’s no way to track the findings. It’s important to note that tracking some of these older games is quite difficult because we can only work with the numbers that are reported. In this list, we’ll highlight some of the rarest games of all time, along with their values, estimated number of copies known to exist, and an explanation as to why they’re so rare. Others are only rare due to unusual manufacturing circumstances, while some were literally never released to the public. Many of them are from retro consoles like the Atari or NES, featuring games that you wouldn’t even pay the MSRP for, let alone thousands of dollars. The thing that’s odd is that a lot of super rare games aren’t that fun to play. Some games are so rare, however, that the only way to secure a copy is to pay a pretty penny for them - sometimes, tens of thousands of dollars. There’s something satisfying about finding a game you’ve been hunting for, especially if you can get it at a reasonable price. Video game collecting has been around since the medium’s inception, but has become way more popularized in recent memory due to nostalgia and the fact that games are slightly easier to find, thanks to the internet.
