    The PAL version at least is rather uncommon.

    I have various flash carts for the Gameboy and GBC and a few backup units for the Snes. But the ones that I'm particularly attached to are my Super Wild Card DX2 32M boxed with instructions and 2 zip drives and my Doctor V64 256Mb.

    I think my rarest stuff in my collection are the following things:

    PSX DESR 5100

    Gameboy Advance SP Zelda Edition with Miyamoto Autograph (think it is the version of the Nintendo World Store in New York)

    Zelda airbrushed GBC. only one available world wide. was a price of a lottery in a video game magazine.

    pictures will come :)

    NES prototype

    The rarest thing I own is probably a NES prototype called "Defectors", it was cancelled early in development and was never announced anywhere. It was coded by an american company who only wrote a few other NES games and a handful of GB games before they quit game developing.

    Coleco Gemini in box not opened since 1982: Well one saturday morning I decided to check out some garage sales in my neighborhood and came across the usual MLB 2K4 and such so I asked the owner of the house if he had any classic games or consoles and he said he thought he remembered an Atari in his attic. So 15 minutes later he comes downstairs with a Coleco Gemini in it's original box. I paid only $25 for it. So how do I know it's been sitting up there in the attic for 26 years? It's apparent that the thing has been in storage for more than 2 decades. The styrefoam has actually begun to fuse to the controller wires and video cables. Sure it's definately not the rarest thing on these boards but it was a good find.

    I also found a Sega Nomad with no cables at another garage sale for $7. great deal considering it goes for $80 at Play-N-Trade.

    I recently decided I was going to start getting hold of some rarities for my exclusively-N64 collection, before everything disappears into the hands of die-hard collectors who will never sell their stuff. Of course, having a full set of standard-release games will still be very cool, but I'd like to have some proper items of curiosity as well.

    So, on that note, my only rare item is my Wide-Boy 64 AGB, which I picked up off eBay. For those who don't know, these were only ever sold to third-party developers, and very persistent members of the gaming press, direct from Nintendo, and originally retailed for $1,000 US each. There were three different versions made, the original Wide-Boy64, the Wide-Boy CGB and the one I own (pristine condition, mind you), the Wide-Boy AGB. The former two allowed one to play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games fullscreen, much like the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Player, and the latter added Game Boy Advance compatibility into the mix. Very cool.

    You can find more info by Googling around, but here's a picture of the type of cartridge I have, and what it looks like (not my site or image): http://www.ngfusa.com/everything_else/wideboyagbo.jpg

    Fun fact: These were all more or less hand-made, which contributed to them not being released to the public. Nintendo just didn't get the assembly lines up and running on time. The fact that these are based off flash carts probably also played a role.

    I'm currently in negotiations with someone about getting hold of a Nintendo 64 test unit, used to check the console for problems back in the day. I'll keep you posted on that one.

    My only real collection is N64, but when I was younger my dad got me into stamp, rock and coin collecting. Chances are I've got some rarities in those three categories.

    I WILL possess the 40 Winks N64 proto at some point in my life, you mark my words ;).

    Cheers,
    Franklint

    My rarest stuff is certainly my Amstrad Mega PC :love2:
    It's a kind of European TeraDrive made by Amstrad.

    Unfortunately, i don't have the screen, but got a homemade RGB video cable instead of :thumbsup: to play on my TV
