Uh, is SMRPG rare? >.>
I have a signed Nintendo Power...:B
Yeah, it's pretty rare.

Complete and utter bullpoop. It's just overpriced, not rare. There's a difference.
That's what happens when there's a limited quantity.

It was a SNES game released in 1996. It's rare.

You're funny. It's overpriced because it's a world-renowned and overrated game, not because it has a limited quantity. It was printed just as much as any other Square Enix SNES game, yet costs more than most other ones. Some games are indeed expensive because they're "rare," but rest assured that SMRPG isn't one of them. It's like a better version of FF7's case: an overhyped game that's overpriced because of an enormous fanbase.

By the way, when it was released really has nothing to do with how many people across the world actually own it. Do you have any idea how many copies of Mario Bros./Duck Hunt I've seen? I can't even count how many I saw just at one thrift store.
Oh, I thought it was rare because of a limited production run compounded with the fact that it has a huge fanbase.

I guess not.

Limited, yes, because all game production runs are limited, but Mario RPG's run was not limited to the point where it could be considered very "rare" at all, because it's really not all that uncommon of a game. Really. The production wasn't slowed all that much just because of the N64's release. Mario RPG didn't take as big of a hit as...say, Kirby's Dreamland 3 or something like that. While Mario RPG never saw a PAL release, it was still produced in large quantities here in the States as well as in Japan.

If you consider that "rare," then okay, but honestly it's so gosh darn easy to get hundreds of copies of the game all to yourself just through ebay. I don't consider that "rare."
Yeah, I realize now that it's not really rare at all, just in demand.

rarest game is probably Electroplankton.

rarest item might be the Pok?center keychain I have.  Mint condition, only 2,000 made, sold only in Pok?center in NYC before it became Nintendo World Store.

That's not rare, nor hard to find.

Do you have Pokemon Pinball R/B or R/S?

I had an E-reader (just threw it out because no one wanted it and I lost all my cards)
Otherwise: SNES w/ Mario All-Stars, DK Country 1-3, F-Zero, Zelda: ALTTP, TMNT Tournament Fighters (Donatello is cheap as all hell), and some wierd Pac-Man game that doesn't involve eating dots
Yeah, the Pac-Man platformers are weird.
It's not even a platformer...it's some wierd point and click adventure. Pac-Man walks around the town and you shoot a slingshot and whatever you hit he'll interact with. The first mission is to find a glass for Baby Pac's milk, I know where it is but half the time I accidentally knock it over and I get a game over...which intercourse in sucks. I still can't figure out the second level because Pac-Man always falls off the darn cliff XD
Pac-Man Adventure 2 <333333

Also, see here for my list of possible rarities.

Triforceman22

Pac-man adventure 2 if that IS rare....
Galden Majora's mask cartridge... wait is that even rare? >.<
golden OoT Cartridge
Ocarina of time master's quest
N64 controller keychain

I think that's it....
