That's not a really rare game lol I'm pretty sure every N64 owner has it.

My gems would probably be, Suikoden I and II, Panzer Dragoon Saga, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time gold cart edition, my Metal Gear Solid 4 PAL Limited Edition with Snake figure (it's selling for upwards of 100 pound on eBay already!) and finally my Final Fantasy VII Ultimate Guide which seems to be highly sought after and goes for quite a bit on eBay for some reason.

These are only some of the things I own that I can think of off the top of my head right now. :P
Ah, I hate how the PAL got a slightly different (arguably better) limited edition of MGS4...all we got in the US was a fancy box, Blu-Ray making of documentary and a selected soundtrack.

I'm trying to collect more valuable stuff, but I'm buy more current gen stuff rather than retro or older stuff. But I would have to say my loose copy of Final Fantasy II for the SNES.

I would have to say my most rare game is Komonichi vs Gogogoa (a game that did not go to much past the development stage). My Friend did some Art and gave me a free copy with a cover he drew in about 5 mins

Welcome To Warp Zone!

Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 Japanese Import.

I got my mom to buy it for me for my 14th or 15th birthday, from some importing website, I forget which (I'll get back to you guys on that one). I had it within the first week it was released in Japan, which was really rare because the website that I ordered it through was known for taking your money without shipping your item. I guess I was one of the lucky ones.

It was nice to escape the PK'ers, the thieves, and the NOL'ers because of the software differences. Besides World of Warcraft, that is probably my most involved and most played games of my collection.

My collection is small and just getting started, but I'd have to say the pride of it is South Park for the Nintendo 64, complete with box, instruction manual, and all the other little papers. Not to mention the box is in terrific shape! :)

Not really a collector but I do have Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the xbox. I got it the day it came out and would never think it would be rare in the future. I do prefer the Dreamcast version but this will do.

Let's just hope the rumors are true about an Xbox Live/PSN port/remake of MVC2...
It may take down the demand and price for the DC/PS2/Xbox versions though. For now I'm fine with my Dreamcast version, although I'd love to play it in upscaled HD with online!

The Dreamcast version is the most common, and it's also the only Arcade Perfect version. The Xbox version is a little worse, but a little more expensive. Ironically, though, the PS2 version is the worst but is also the most expensive.

However, it tops of the PS2's collection of fighter collections.

SF: Anniversary
SF Alpha: Anthology
SNK: Various KoF collections
MvC2

If there was a fighting game, you can pretty much get it for the PS2.

For me, my gem would have to be Earthbound complete with the guide and box, except the white cardboard insert. That accidently got thrown out when I was younger. My second gem would be Persona 1. I also have a complete Persona 2 and the Amazon rerelease of it factory sealed.

I thought about this one and was debating between two choices, one that's not so rare and the other worth some decent money.

Star Fox 64 was on of my most memorable games, it was probably my first game in its genre and probably the classic timeless piece in my collection. I still go back to the game every now and then, even after obtaining all the medals.

Then I have a game worth some money on Ebay, which is Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and the Plus edition. (Gamecube) These games go for at least 50 bucks each on Ebay, and mean much more to me than any other game.

I'm not a game collector, but the gem from my small collection is black-label copy of Final Fantasy VII. Funny thing is I still have yet to play it after buying it 3 years ago. :-/
Haha... if it's still sealed... (and in some cases even if it isn't)... you could probably sell it for a pretty good chunk of change.
I have ff7 ff8 and xenogears sealed black label had for years after i bought and played em all like years ago maby 8 or something.. i dont know i found them brand new at a pawn shop sealed up everything guessing somone sold them all there since they didnt want or something i still got them wonder how much they will be in like 10 years lol

I would have to say my Signed Copy of MGS4 would have to be my gem.

I waited in like for like 12 hours in NYC just to get that bad boy signed.

Though I don't have a big collection, perhaps my most prized possesion is my PS1's Chrono Cross, it's the greatest hits copy though.

I recently found a black label Resident Evil 2 for five bucks complete. But if by gem you mean favorite???? , then I would definitely say that OoT is my gem. I can't get enough of that game.

black label Final Fantasy VII that I got for free. Mainly because of what a commodity it's become.

I have a LOT of games (well like 100 which isnt that much) but not many really rare games, I would have to say Digital Devil Saga for the PS2. It as $30 and I found it at the flea market. It's sorta rare the only real place otherwise you could find it for sure is ebay/amazon.

I don't know what to put here yet.
