Note that I’ve focused on games available in the West there are numerous Japan-only games that are rarer than the below, but so obscure and unusual that they deserve their own list. So without further preamble, let’s take a look at the games currently commanding high prices due to their scarcity come with me on a journey through the less trodden paths on Sony’s rare PS1 games. Yet despite its popularity, there are still sought after titles that – for whatever reason – are difficult to track down, not to mention an awful lot more expensive than many games that are more readily available. The same can be said for the vast majority of games in the console’s library, which is great news for collectors, with game prices on the whole remaining fairly reasonable, even for games regarded today as masterpieces.
Which means that – with more than 100 million units sold since it launched in Japan in 1994 (and worldwide in 1995), along with a software selection consisting of thousands of titles – the PlayStation itself isn’t exactly hard to get hold of. The Playstation was a huge hit with gamers when they launched in the 90s – and Sony’s pitch perfect marketing, that brought gaming kicking and screaming into the mainstream, making it ‘cool’ rather than seen as something geeky or just ‘for kids’, was an absolute masterstroke that shook up the industry, the aftershocks of which can still be felt today. It was one of the best selling consoles of all time, and many gamers and investors are seeking out the most valuable to add to their collection. Rare PS1 Games are becoming a highly sought after piece of art within the retro gaming community.
