This game is an interesting case, because it shouldn’t have been a rare game.

11 | The Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak (~10,000 copies) These are the 11 rarest NES games, in order. And in a great twist that existentially calls the notion of collecting itself into question - most of them are apparently awful to play. These are the holy grail of NES games, the rarest of the rare, and games you will most likely never see or play. And they certainly were never meant to exist in a world where the Internet and eBay could make people cognizant of their existence and able to spend ludicrous amounts acquiring them. These games were all either limited editions, unlicensed and unauthorized, or never meant to be released to the public. The games featured on this list extend far, far beyond the realm of the Marios and Mega Mans (Mega Men?) and Bebe’s Kidses of the world.

Then I look at what some old NES games cost and I decide there’s absolutely no way for me to ever justify collecting old Nintendo games.

A list of unauthorized, unlicensed, obscure, recalled and limited-edition games that will dutifully scare any sane person off the prospect of collecting Nintendo games.Įvery once in a while a burst of nostalgia comes over me and I think it would be so exciting to start collecting old Nintendo games.
