The Original Rayman. Not sure if it's rare, but it's a classic.

I had that for PC and Playstation. I've never met anyone who has played the Original Rayman. It might be pretty rare

I don't own any of them anymore, but the rarest I had were:

The special edition 2 disc of Blood (had a Type O Negative music video, a Windows theme, and other goodies). Not certain how rare it is, but I remember that it was pulled from shelves rather quickly for some reason.
Maabus
Primal Rage
And the rarest by far: A huge shareware/Doom map compilation disc that was only sold at computer shows in central PA.

I had a few rare compilation discs, actually, but I can't remember the names of them. Shame, since I'd give your right leg to find them again.

I also own Age of Empires (the first game), and if C&C 2 is rare, then yes.

Another one that might be rare WOULD be Lego Island, but I lost the CD

Prisoner of Ice
Star Trek 25th Anniversary
Star Trek Judgment Rites
Star Trek TNG A Final Unity (very rare one!)
FX Fighter

That's a few I can think of right now. I also have a game called Iron Helix that I've never ever played. No idea what kind of game it is.

I have a massive collection of childhood games that survived years of moving around the state and spring cleaning rotations, if that counts. Only one that comes to mind is "Cold Shadow".

I also have "Neverhood". A pain to get, it was

I have a lot of old games, but the only one that was a real pain to track down was Full Throttle.

I had the disc but someone stole it. I now have it on my DSi through DSiware
For me, I guess, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner still in PERFECT condition. I could easily sell it for 100+, but I love to have it in my collection.
I've a copy of Grim Fandango is good condition, which I assume most here have.
I've a few Wii games that're now apparently rare, but I don't remember the titles off my head. I'll come back and edit this with the full list later.

I don't think I have any rare games, but a few are quite old:

Heretic (in original box)
Doom II (in original box)
Monkey Island II (in original box)

then I have some more recent ones (all in original boxes) such as

Grim Fandango
Monkey Island III
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

I want the first Monkey Island in its original box, but haven't got around to finding a copy yet..

I've got plenty of old PC games but I'll just stick to the ones that are rare.

The Adventures of Downunder Dan.
StarCraft: Insurrection
StarCraft: Retribution
SiN Mission Pack - Wages of Sin

One rarity I used to have but unfortunately lost a couple years ago was the Space Quest Trilogy: Roger Wilco the Other World Series.

Ooh, nice! I'll be keeping them for myself, though, as they are quite dear to me. I also found Freddy Pharkas (the embossed, really large box). Maybe I'll showcase these on a special shelf just to show off my geekness.
