Nintendo 64是一款拥有数十种稀有独特游戏的游戏机。现在,在上一款游戏为控制台发布大约 18 年后,收藏家们在跳蚤市场、在线市场和其他渠道寻找他们收藏中缺失的游戏。
如果您对某些人会走多远来完成他们的收藏感到好奇,您只需要看最稀有(和最有价值)的N64游戏。控制台产生了一些真正的隐藏宝藏,在市场上卖得非常高——其中许多在今天几乎是不可能找到的。
无论您是收藏家还是只是想了解一些游戏历史的人,这些都是最稀有的 N64 游戏。
Turok: Rage Wars 灰色购物车(Turok: Rage Wars Grey Cart)
Turok是(Turok)Nintendo 64上最受欢迎的游戏之一,但Rage Wars并没有获得同样的赞誉。对于初学者来说,它不被视为该系列的规范条目。它也比其他游戏更加强调多人游戏,但这受到了破坏游戏的错误的阻碍。
Turok : Rage Wars的原始版本以黑色墨盒发布。一旦发现错误,Acclaim就发布了修复程序。在灰色墨盒(grey cartridge)上发布的游戏的更正版本。
收藏家最近开始意识到灰色购物车的价值。黑色手推车上的游戏版本低至 12 美元,而灰色卡带则要 350 美元或更多。
星际争霸 64(Starcraft 64)
即时战略游戏从未在主机上大受欢迎,尤其是在任天堂 64(Nintendo 64)时代。Starcraft 64 凭借简化的控制方案(control scheme)赢得了赞誉(以及在Toonami上吸引了许多年轻游戏玩家的位置。)
直到星际争霸2(Starcraft II)在PC上发布,原作的N64版本(N64 version)才开始流行起来。由于该游戏(game didn)一开始并没有广泛流行,因此已经很难找到。现在,一份副本在 eBay 上的售价约为 35 美元。
不过,不要让低成本愚弄(cost fool)你。星际争霸 64(Starcraft 64)是阵容中最稀有的 N64 游戏之一,很难获得。
特技赛车手 64(Stunt Racer 64)
N64 时代(N64 era)出现了不少限量发行,包括一些只在特定地点发行的游戏。Stunt Racer 64就是其中一款游戏。它只能通过Blockbuster获得。虽然不像这个列表中的其他一些游戏那么贵,但它可能很难找到。
虽然可以相对容易地找到一个松散的墨盒,但寻找完整的盒内副本的收藏家将为这项特权付出高昂的代价,价格高达 600 美元。Stunt Racer 64的完整副本是目前最稀有的N64游戏之一。
炸弹人 64:第二次进攻(Bomberman 64: The Second Attack)
Bomberman 64并不是最流行的游戏,尽管它仍然很有趣。该系列中的其他条目获得了更多的批评和商业赞誉。尽管如此,Hudson Soft在(Hudson Soft)N64(N64 right)上发布了另一款游戏,就在控制台的使用寿命结束时。
由于它发布较晚,许多零售商没有在商店里携带它。副本的价格从 25 美元或以上不等,但游戏的密封版本可能花费超过 1,000 美元。
Clay Fighter 63 ½ Sculptor's Cut
另一款Blockbuster独家产品,Clay Fighter 63 ½ 现在被认为是有史以来最稀有的 N64 游戏之一。虽然您可以以“合理”的价格找到松散的墨盒,但完整的盒装版本即使是最忠实的收藏家(collector blanche)也会以这个价格购买。
Sculptor's Cut与主游戏没有太大区别,但增加了一些额外的角色。今天,盒子里的游戏副本将花费您大约 1,100 美元,而带有手册的完整副本可能会花费高达 1,700 美元或更多。
这种稀有性的原因是因为它是Blockbuster的独家产品。因此,几乎不可能找到状况良好的手册and/or box
超级保龄球(Super Bowling)
保龄球比赛(bowling game)的想法在今天并不少见。毕竟,Wii Bowling为(Wii Bowling)家用游戏机(home console)设定了标准。在 90 年代末和 2000 年代初,保龄球并不是家用游戏机(home console)上流行的游戏类型。
超级保龄球在(Super Bowling)Gamecube推出之前就问世了,因此它在即将推出的游戏机上失去了很多销量。鉴于它一开始就吸引了如此小众的观众(niche audience),可以理解,这款游戏是最稀有的 N64 游戏之一,而且很难找到。
今天,你可以以 100 多美元的价格购买一份超级保龄球的副本,但一份完整的收件箱副本的价格可能在 300 到 600 美元之间。(Super Bowling)
Hey You, Pikachu!
嘿(Hey)你,皮卡丘(Pikachu)!开始是(Was)一个奇怪的游戏。它使用插入N64的麦克风,允许玩家与皮卡丘(Pikachu)交谈,要求他执行某些任务并以前所未有的水平进行互动。它在N64(N64)的生命周期(s lifespan)即将结束时问世,并利用了Pokemon 专营权(Pokemon franchise)的流行。
不幸的是,它没有达到与其他游戏相同的好评水平。原因之一是它缺乏故事情节。另一个是技术不存在——尽管增加了麦克风(microphone addition),嘿(Hey)你,皮卡丘!效果不佳。
虽然找到墨盒的副本并不是(cartridge isn)特别困难,但要找到带有工作麦克风和其他附件的完整游戏副本并不是那么容易。一个完整的收件箱副本可以高达 450 美元。

The 7 Rarest N64 Games
The Nintendo 64 was a console gracеd with dozens оf rare, unique titles. Now, some 18 years after the last game waѕ rеleased for the console, cоllеctors scour flea markets, online mаrketplaces, and other outletѕ for titles miѕѕing from their collection.
If you’re curious about how far some people will go to complete their collection, you need look only as far as the rarest (and most valuable) N64 games. The console produced some true hidden treasures that fetch a tremendous price on the market—and many of those are next to impossible to find today.
Whether you are a collector or just someone poking around a bit of gaming history, these are the rarest N64 games.
Turok: Rage Wars Grey Cart
Turok is one of the most popular titles on the Nintendo 64, but Rage Wars did not receive the same acclaim. For starters, it isn’t considered a canonical entry in the series. It also put more emphasis on multiplayer than the other games, but this was hindered by a game-breaking bug.
The original version of Turok: Rage Wars released in a black cartridge. Once the bug was discovered, Acclaim released a fix. The corrected version of the game released on a grey cartridge.
Collectors have recently come to realize the value of the gray cart. While a version of the game on a black cart can be had for as little as $12, a gray cartridge can cost $350 or more.
Starcraft 64
Real-time strategy games have never been wildly popular on consoles, but especially not in the Nintendo 64 era. Starcraft 64 earned acclaim thanks to a simplified control scheme (and a spot on Toonami that attracted many young gamers.)
It wasn’t until the release of Starcraft II on PC that the N64 version of the original title became popular. As the game didn’t have widespread popularity to begin with, it was already difficult to find. Now a copy will run you around $35 on eBay.
Don’t let the low cost fool you, though. Starcraft 64 is one of the rarest N64 games in the lineup that can be hard to come by.
Stunt Racer 64
The N64 era saw quite a few limited run releases, including some games that were only released in specific locations. Stunt Racer 64 is one of these games. It was only available through Blockbuster. Although not as pricey as some of the other games on this list, it can be tough to find.
While a loose cartridge can be found with relative ease, collectors looking for a complete in-box copy will pay through the nose for the privilege, with prices reaching as high as $600. A complete copy of Stunt Racer 64 is one of the rarest N64 games out there.
Bomberman 64: The Second Attack
Bomberman 64 wasn’t the most popular game out there, even though it was still a lot of fun. Other entries in the series saw more critical and commercial praise. Despite this, Hudson Soft released another game on the N64 right at the end of the console’s lifespan.
Due to its late release, a lot of retailers did not carry it in stores. Copies range anywhere from $25 and up, but a sealed version of the game can cost well over $1,000.
Clay Fighter 63 ½ Sculptor’s Cut
Another Blockbuster exclusive, Clay Fighter 63 ½ now considered one of the rarest N64 games of all time. While you can find a loose cartridge for “reasonable” prices, a complete in-box version will make even the most dedicated collector blanche at the price.
The Sculptor’s Cut isn’t too different from the main game, but adds a few additional characters. Today, a copy of the game in the box will run you around $1,100, while a complete copy with the manual might make it cost as much as $1,700 or more.
The reason for this rarity is because it was a Blockbuster exclusive. As a result, it can be nearly impossible to find a manual and/or box in good condition.
Super Bowling
The idea of a bowling game isn’t too uncommon today. After all, Wii Bowling set the standard for what to expect on a home console. In the late 90s and early 2000s, bowling wasn’t a popular type of game on home consoles.
Super Bowling came out just before the launch of the Gamecube, so it lost a lot of sales to the upcoming console. Given that it appealed to such a niche audience to begin with, the game is understandably one of the rarest N64 games and hard to find.
Today, you can get a copy of Super Bowling for a bit over $100 for just the cartridge, but a complete in-box copy might cost anywhere from $300 to $600.
Hey You, Pikachu!
Hey You, Pikachu! Was an odd game to begin with. It used a microphone that plugged into the N64 and allowed the player to speak with Pikachu, asking him to perform certain tasks and interact on a level never before seen. It came out near the end of the N64’s lifespan and capitalized on the popularity of the Pokemon franchise.
Unfortunately, it didn’t achieve the same levels of acclaim as other games. One of the reasons was that it lacked a storyline. The other was that the technology just wasn’t there—despite the microphone addition, Hey You, Pikachu! didn’t work great.
While finding a copy of the cartridge isn’t particularly difficult, finding a complete copy of the game with the working microphone and other attachments is not quite so easy. A complete in-box copy can run as high as $450.
