Maniac Mansion (Apple II)

The first proper point-and-click adventure, Lucasfilm's ground-breaking and actually wonderful Maniac Mansion also managed to find itself on the then ageing Apple II in one of its lesser known ports. Grabbing said rather rare adventure is as easy as bidding on this Maniac Mansion (Apple II) eBay auction for a well preserved boxed copy of the thing. The game on offer comes with manual, disk, and poster in its original box.

Released exclusively in Europe in 1995 for the 32X expansion of the PAL Sega Megadrive, Darxide is one of the rarest games available for the system.

Turbo the Tortoise (ZX Spectrum)

Released late in the ZX Spectrum's life by Codemasters, Turbo The Tortoise was a great platformer with good graphics that got itself some rather brilliant reviews. Nowadays it is a rather rare game, but you can still bid on a complete, finely preserved, and tested boxed copy of it via this Turbo The Tortoise (ZX Spectrum) eBay auction.

Majyuuou (魔獸王) for the Super Famicom

Majyuuou, the King of Demons, was released by KSS late in the Super Famicom cycle in 1995, and that surely had something to do with how beautiful this fun action Metroidvania-lite game looks. What's more, this is a relatively obscure and very rare game for Nintendo's 16-bit console, and grabbing a complete boxed copy is both expensive and difficult.

This Majyuuou (Super Famicom) eBay auction then should be of interest to collectors. The cartridge comes complete in its box with manual and leaflets, and seems to be in good condition. Also, this is a stunning game box.

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, and Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge are three of the very best 16-bit racing games ever developed and released, and some of the finest arcade racers ever.

The game has been tested and comes in its original box.

Super Tempo (Sega Saturn)

Disco-themed cartoon platformer Super Tempo for the Japanese Sega Saturn is a wonderfully weird, wildly colourful, and rather rare action game. It also happens to be something you can bid on via this Super Tempo (Saturn) eBay auction.

Lemmings (Atari Lynx)

A fine port of a fine game for a fine system Lemmings for the Atari Lynx is indeed a high-point of the golden age of handheld gaming, and an absolutely lovely (and rare, and thus also collectible) version of the classic Psygnosis puzzler. You can bid on a complete, working, boxed copy of the game via this Lemmings (Atari Lynx) eBay auction.

Labyrinth for the Commodore 64

Based on the classic Jim Henson film, Labyrinth: The Computer Game by Lucasfilm was an innovative, clever, and rather beautiful adventure game that paved the way to the point-and-click adventure. Interestingly it is quite the rarity too, and collectors should probably bid on this Labyrinth (C64) auction for a lovely Activision-produced tape.

Castlevania Bloodlines (Sega Genesis)

A rare and great game in its original box is always a lovely thing to have lying around, and it does seem that this Castlevania Bloodlines (Sega Genesis) eBay auction can indeed get you a lovely boxed game of the sort. A wonderful 16-bit Konami offering that's brilliant for both lying around, and actually playing.

Secret of Mana (SNES)

The legendary, wonderful, and very rare Secret of Mana for the PAL Super Nintendo Entertainment System has appeared on eBay, and -- if you are willing to spend quite a bit -- you should probably have a look and maybe place a bid. The game comes complete with its box, tray, map, manual, and cartridge.

Super Turrican (SNES)

Though I adored Turrican on the Amiga and quite loved it on the Commodore 64, I never actually played Super Turrican on the SNES. Rumour has it that the 16-bit Nintendo console managed to pull it off brilliantly, and that the game remains a great run-and-gun platformer you could actually own via this Super Turrican (SNES) eBay auction.

It's US/NTSC version you'll be bidding on, and it comes complete in its box. Everything seems to be in great condition and the seller ships only within the EU.

Asterix and the Secret Mission (Game Gear)

Sold in the wonderful place that is Parc Astérix back in 1994, this limited boxed version of Asterix and the Secret Mission for the Sega Game Gear currently up for grabs on eBay looks absolutely wonderful, and apparently comes complete with a nice collectible t-shirt. The box is sealed, obviously rare, and the auction will be over in 13 hours (at the time of writing), so better hurry.

Snatcher for the Sega CD

Snatcher, Hideo Kojima's classic cyberpunk adventure game, is arguably the best and most coveted game for the Sega CD, and handily something you can grab via this Snatcher (Sega CD) eBay auction. The game comes on its CD with case and manual; everything seems to be in fine condition.

Action 52 for the NES

The rare and dreaded Action 52 is even rarer yet no less dreaded when on a black (earlier-run) PCB, and this Action 52 (NES) eBay auction is all about getting said rarer, yet also complete version of the game(s). The cartridge comes in its box with its informational inserts, the cardboard game sleeve, the styrofoam insert, the comic book, and, of course, the manual.

A new and sealed Adventure for the Atari 2600

A valiant attempt at evoking the text-based Adventure's spirit on the limited Atari 2600, a pioneering arcade-adventure, the home of the first Easter egg, and a truly classic and definitive game, Atari's Adventure is something every 2600 collector should own. More dedicated collectors on the other hand would probably prefer this essentially new, factory sealed copy of Adventure (Atari 2600) currently being auctioned on eBay.

Sealed Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)

Super Mario Bros. 3 is an excellent and definitive game. A classic. A game everyone loves, and a platformer that defined its genre. It also isn't a particularly difficult NES offering to get a hold of, unless of course you manage to find a sealed, boxed, brand new copy. Like this Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) currently being auctioned over at eBay. Those are rare.
