What Are Your Rarest Sealed Games?

[sly]

I just I thought it would be interested if collectors posted there rarest sealed games.

[Trade-N-Games]

Tax avoiders is mine

However I have lost track.All of mine are in shrink now. I dont collect sealed since its just plastic. As a matter of fact I have opened alot of sealed old games and then tested them and then I reshrink them and most of the time you cant tell.

[sly]

Some sealed games never had plastic but were just glued shut.

[Mindfield]

Beat 'em & Eat 'em would be my rarest. 'Course I probably only have a little over a dozen sealed games...

You first.

Many years ago, Sean Kelly was selling off four packs (or was it three?) of brand new copies of rather rare 5200 games, including Fractalus and Gremlins. I never even opened the shipping box after receiving it. Not even sure where the box is right now.

 

I have an NES Myriad 6-in-1 still unopened, but IIRC, the wrap was broken in places. I also have a pair of shrinkwrapped Virtual Boy Waterworld that I got in a closeout bin at Toys R Us many years ago. And five copies of the 4-game GC Zelda preview. And some assorted rare 7800 games from FBE boxes. And then there's that PS1 Discworld 2 that I never bothered to open. It's still in the 2-pack Sams Club long-box.

 

I've also got a couple of Criterion DVDs that would fetch a pretty penny on ebay.

 

That's pretty much all I can remember notable that I have shrink wrapped.

Don't have many sealed games, Sentinel is most likely to be the rarest I have.

[adams_ale]

Just Snoopy. I did have Xenophobe sealed at one point, but I opened it to play it and make sure it wasn't PAL.

Cosmic Swarm

Panda Games

Up n Down

Ram it

[Philflound]

I have a few sealed games considered rare.

 

All Playaround games, though they were never really "sealed"

The Kid Vid unit with SStD.

Berenstain Bears

Snoopy

Road Runner

 

I bought many of those Gremlins for the 5200. Sold all of them short of my own.

London Blitz, Wall Ball, Death Trap, Custer's Revenge. Not sure what is the rareist of them. I have probably 100 sealed in my collection, but not many of the rare ones.

I have a sealed Obelix in my collection, but eventually I'm sure that I'll open it. In honesty, I just haven't gotten around to it. The box is a little crushed in one corner and it really would look better without the shrinkwrap anyway. I think (hope) it is the NTSC version.

Sealed games are nice, and I like the shrinkwrap, just to keep the box from getting stained. But there are some negatives to having sealed games.

 

1. You don't know what's inside. Technically you assume the correct game is there, but maybe it's not. Also, you don't know which label version you have, if there is more than 1.

 

2. Shrinkwrap continues to shrink. Though these games are old and the shrinkwrap has probably stopped shrinking, note that it does keep shrinking to a degree, thus usually you see this when corners are bent.

 

3. Price stickers are ugly, especially if there is more than one.

 

4. Shrinkwrap can tear pretty easily, which if you keep it on, looks disgusting.

 

Another positive note with shrinkwrap pertains to Imagic games. Since these games are in a tray, the shrinkwrap helps keep contents inside, like the manual, and in Intellivision case, overlays.

 

I've considered opening all my games. In fact, I have done that. If something is shrinkwrapped, what I usually do is just slice the top, so the shrinkwrap remains.

The rarest game I ever bought sealed was Road Runner. As soon as the box arrived, I ripped off the shrink wrap, popped out the cartridge, and plugged it into my Atari.

 

I like to play my games, people, not just stare at them!

[Mock]

Sealed? Amidar I guess? not that impressive...lol.

 

 

I do have a Sealed Boxed Texas Chainsaw/ Hallowwen Double ender though..#5 of 10 I think it was

[Tempest]

I have absolutely 0 sealed games. I always open them up and look at them.

 

I do have a spare sealed NTSC Planet Smashers that someone will get off me one of these days...

What do you mean by sealed? Some game companies did not shrinkwrap or glue their boxes closed and some stores removed games from their boxes and kept them behind the counter to cut down on theft.

 

I have no idea what would be considered rare that I have sealed. Probably the PAL Motorodeo I have sealed. I used to have Meteorites, BBSB and K-Razy Shoot-Out all sealed, but traded/sold them since I think collecting sealed games is pointless.

[dogbowl]

I've got a copy of Ms Pac Man and Moon Patrol thats not only shrinkwrapped, but also still wrapped in the hard plastic security shell.

[crunchysuperman]

I generally don't like sealed games - I wanna know what's in there. (I don't really even like boxed games either)

 

The only sealed one I own is Berenstain Bears. I'll keep it that way as it's the best way to store it & the cassettes anyway. Besides, it stores nicely with my Smurfs Save the Day (still the styrofoam with the cassettes & kidvid module, but not sealed)

[pongbeat]

Action force, Jedi Arena, Reactor, Atlantis, Cosmik Ark , Riddle of the Sphinx, Dragonfire not very rare...but i have open plenty of them (on 7800 most of the time!).

[ATARIPITBULL]

Off the top of my head;

 

1) 4 Panda games.

2) All the supercharger games.

3) Berenstain Bears.

4) QB wooden box edition.

5) Road Runner.

6) Pigs in Space.

7) Tron Pak with controller.

A few of the playaround games.

 

There are more, but cant think of them right now.

 

[ATARIPITBULL]

Oh, I almost forgot the Thrust + that took most of us over a year to get from Jah Fish.

 

[donkeykong1]

I have a sealed Double Dragon III for the NES. Not rare though. There are a few others I can't remember.
