NES & SNES Rare vs Good

kingjohn3 · September 2016

If I wanted to compile a list of rarest and most fun games where would I look? We all know rarity is speculative for the most part but which ones are truly rare and which ones are really good/fun? For example I have Little Samson and its the best of both rare & good but also have several blue cart bunch/color dreams that aren't. Could some of you review the rarest games you personally own and let us know what's up?

I don't get too much into this stuff, but I will say that Aero Fighters for SNES is a great game (2 player, vertical shooter) while also a rare one.

Interestingly, my friends and I joke that its the most expensive 20 minutes of your life. Its a super short game, and it really isn't worth the price at all.

Snes:

Aero Fighters - 8 playable characters, 12 different endings. This game has tons of replayability.

Ardy Lightfoot

Nes:

Wacky Races

Sword Master

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles

Rockin' Kats

The Jungle Book - That it lacks the artistry of its Snes/Genesis counterparts goes without saying, but this remains a lively and entertaining platformer from the Nes's twilight years.

I've played some other rare Nes games that I thought were decent like Widget but I wouldn't put them in the same league as the others.

Any hidden gem video is a good place to start these days. Rare and good doesn't always mean super expensive, but that list has shortened as more time passes.

Honestly, none of the so called "heavy hitters" are worth the price of admission. I don't care how fun a game is, it never makes sense to pay big money for something that can be played for free.

These threads are never anything more than humble brag BS.

Unfortunately yes.

I like Duck Tales 2 and Chip n Dale 2 a lot. They are not as good as their first titles but I felt they were worth the money. Granted they cost a lot less than something like Little Sampson, but still pricey.

Kind of a silly thread

Most rare (and by that I think you mean expensive) games reach that point because they're good. Exceptions being the extraordinarily rare stuff like SE or MBR/SR, unlicensed NES stuff, Bronkie, Hurricanes, etc.
