I have the "Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World" (PAL) module for the SNES. I bought it on a flee market for only Ä5. The collector's value is Ä50.

I'm not sure how to tell what games I have are rare or not.

eBay sellers usually work pretty hard to make their games as appealing as possible to get them sold, and so if a game is rare, very often in their descriptions from what I've seen, they literally say things like "rare" or "hard to find." Beyond that, if a game is several times more expensive than it was several years ago when it was new, I would take that as it being rare too. I'm not sure if that is what he meant, but it's all I can think of.

I have the 1st three Spyro the Dragon games, which can sell for 100 bucks each. But I'm never selling them.

Bubble Bobble Is worth a ton of money. If you still have it in mint condition still sealed with all the booklets I heard it can sell for 1,200-1,500 dollars.

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. I never knew. I mean the console versions sell for $100 used and$200 new from most sellers. The PC can sell for $300, depending on the condition. I have the PC version, but I'm not selling it, no matter how much it's worth.

That sounds like a lot.  I guess it's a very popular game.

That sounds about right to me. A Link to the Past is considered by many to be the best game in the franchise and one of if not the best game for the Super Nintendo. I remember playing it nonstop when I first got my Super Nintendo. I couldn't put it down to save my life.

Mine would have to be Final Fantasy VII in a black label form. I found it on eBay for $700.

I have dozens of the best Super Nintendo games.  I may not like games too much nowadays, but I was a real gamer back in the Super Nintendo era.  I remember my first game was Super Mario World, which I got used.  It never worked very well.  You had to turn the console on and off many times to get it to work right.  So a family member bought me Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World to make up for it.  I also have all the original Donkey Kong's and a whole mess of other cool stuff.

I also have a black label FF7, and it's a pretty funny story how I got it. I originally owned a greatest hits copy, but that one for some reason stopped working (though I never tried buffing it, which would probably fix it) so I decided to just start from scratch at the time and buy a replacement (I was at college, and didn't have my original copy with me). So I shopped around on Ebay, and found an actual black label in mint condition with the original case too. I don't believe the guy knew how valuable it was, because he was selling it for only 30 bucks. :p I was like yeah, OK, I'm either gonna completely take this guy or it's a scam. I decided to risk it, and yep... it was a real black label in original case. :p I don't know WHAT that guy was thinking, but I've played it all the way through, works fine, and so yeah... I got a 700 dollar game for 30 bucks. :p

I also own Suikoden and Suikoden II, the latter being 800 bucks new, and over 100 used. I also own Xenogears, which is pretty sought after today as well. I have Vandal Hearts and the even more rare Vandal Hearts II as well. I think that's all I can think of, though I'd need to look through my collection to be sure. I'm sure some of my Dreamcast games get to be around 100 bucks now.
