2. Kizuna Encounter, NEO GEO cartridge (PAL): This is an interesting rare game because versions other than the PAL version are quite common. It is estimated that 12 exist in all. Recently, one of these sold for $13,500. Only 5 copies are known to have surfaced in the market.
3. 1990 Nintendo World Championships: Tournament NES cartridge (NTSC-U): This game is identical to the above mentioned game, yet it was a gift to the 90 finalists of the competition. This game is worth $4,000+.
4. Pepsi Invaders, Atari 2600 cartridge (NTSC-U): This was a promotional game created by Coca Cola to celebrate its trouncing of Pepsi in the early 80s. 125 of these exist, and are valued at $1,200+.
5. Bangai-O: Prize Edition, Sega Dreamcast CD (NTSC-J): This game was given out to winners of a Japanese tournament. Only 5 copies exist, so it is difficult to value the game, but it is worth over $1,000.
6. Stadium Events, NES cartridge (NTSC-U): This is a relatively well-known rare title by anyone that has investigating game collecting. There are 2000 copies of this game. It was released, recalled, and re-released as “World Class Track Meet” with the Power Pad. It is valued at over $1000.
7. Air Raid, Atari 2600 cartridge (NTSC-U): This $3500 game is known for having very limited release numbers and an insane looking blue cartridge with a handle.
8. Virtual Bowling/SD Gundam Dimension War Virtual Boy cartridges (NTSC-J): These games are equally rare and are from the fallen Virtual Boy system. They are valued at over $1,000 each.
9. Atlantis II, Atari 2600 cartridge (NTSC-U): This game is rare because it was never officially release. This was a more difficult follow-up to a competition featuring "Atlantis," because people did too well at the competition. It is extremely rare and worth $1,000.
10. Metal Slug, NEO GEO cartridge (NTSC-U): Most of my friends thing that Metal Slug is the defining game of NEO GEO. It is so fun and so quirky. It is obviously still popular, since it will cost you around $1,000 to get it.

M$From the article on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maniac_Mansion
NES port and The Expurgation of Maniac Mansion
In 1990, a version was published for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in North America and Europe, but in a heavily censored form in order to comply with Nintendo of America (NoA) and Nintendo of Europe's policy. However, NoA initially overlooked the ability to microwave the hamster to death. Many thousand copies of Maniac Mansion had shipped before NoA noticed and demanded its removal. However, as there was no second printing of the game, all North American cartridges include the "hamster" and the "microwave". The PAL region NES cartridges of Maniac Mansion have the hamster-microwaving ability removed.
Another NES cartridge would be the unlicensed version of Tetris by Tengen - which IMHO was MUCH better than the official Nintendo licensed version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengen_(company)
Tengen faced another court challenge with Nintendo in 1989 in copyright controversy over Tetris. Tengen lost this suit as well and was forced to recall what was estimated to be hundreds of thousands of unsold cartridges (having sold only about 50,000).
It's too bad too - I really liked that version, but the video store shipped it back.
Owned the game and the Wikipedia article.

That being said, Panzer Dragoon Saga and Radiant Silvergun are two of the most valuable games on the Saturn. Both go for upwards of $100 last time I checked. For the PS1, Suikoden II is supposed to be quite rare.

M$1. 1990 Nintendo World Championships: Gold Edition NES cartridge (NTSC-U): This NES game was a Nintendo Power contest prize, promoting the famous Los Angeles Nintendo tournament popularized by the film The Wizard. 26 copies were created and given to lucky winners. The estimated value of this game is $25,000 good condition and including in the box.

Another rare game is Stadium Events, also for the NES. It is the most rare commercially sold NES game. What makes it rare is the fact that it was recalled shortly after it was released. There are just under 800 copies in existence, and they commonly sell for over $1000. There is one on eBay right now for over $1200 for the cartridge only!
