While there are a lot of people that go out to buy a new video game when it’s released and then play and enjoy it, there are also quite a few other people that buy video games for other reasons. Instead of simply buying games to play and enjoy, there are a lot of people that buy video games so that they can collect them and keep rare games on display.<\/p>\n

Retro consoles like the NES are known for having some super rare games that collectors spend a lot of time (and money!) trying to hunt down, but some more recent consoles also have rare games that collectors definitely want to get into their hands on. Even though the original Xbox had a relatively recent lifespan, introduced in 2001 and discontinued in 2009, there are still some games that are hard to find.<\/p>\n

Updated March 15, 2021, by Thomas Bowen:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0It’s a little hard to believe that the original Xbox released almost two decades ago now\u00a0and, while it may have been promptly replaced with the far superior Xbox 360, the system and its strong catalog of games still remains popular with collectors to this day. With each passing year, in fact, more and more people are starting to\u00a0hunt down\u00a0some of the many\u00a0great\u00a0Xbox titles and, due to the new Xbox Series machines allowing full backwards compatibility, this number is only likely to increase.<\/em><\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Obscure ($81)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Rarely is a game\u00a0as aptly titled as Obscure<\/em>. This survival horror game failed to make much of an impression when it first released back in 2005, although it did do well enough to receive a sequel. Since then, however, it has gone on to garner something of a cult following<\/a> which has led to boxed copies of the game becoming increasingly difficult to find.<\/p>\n

Although the disc can be snapped up for a somewhat reasonable $30, the average price for a\u00a0complete copy can come in at almost triple that amount. According to Game Value Now, they typically sell for around $80<\/a>, with a brand new version usually\u00a0clocking in at\u00a0more than $200.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Def Jam: Fight For NY\u00a0($81)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

EA’s hip-hop inspired\u00a0Def Jam<\/em> series surprised quite a few people with its solid combat and fantastic soundtrack<\/a>. What’s more, being able to duke it out with some of the biggest names in the rap game<\/a> was also quite the treat. With that in mind, it’s easy to see why Def Jam: Fight For NY<\/em> is such a desirable game.<\/p>\n

The disc alone can sell for almost $50, while a complete version of the game tends to average a little over $80<\/a>. As the years continue to pass and more and more copies fall into the hands of collectors though, these prices are only going to rise.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Spikeout: Battle Street ($89)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As is often the case with rare games, Spikeout: Battle Street<\/em> is a fairly mediocre affair with lackluster combat and a cast of characters so dull that they make Watch Dogs<\/em>‘ Aiden Pearce seem interesting. It’s perhaps for this reason that so few copies of the game are in circulation and, as a result, it’s so difficult to get a hold of.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0The 10 Rarest SNES Games (& How Much They’re Worth)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Those willing to settle for a loose copy of the game needn’t worry too much as they’ll only need to drop around fifteen bucks. A complete copy of the game, however, can sell for around $90<\/a>. For what is effectively a poor-man’s version of Streets of Rage<\/em>, even the most ardent of collectors may think twice before bidding that high.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 ($100)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Marvel vs. Capcom 2<\/em> is a game that has been released on multiple different platforms, but that hasn’t stopped the version for the original Xbox from becoming pretty rare and valuable. This is a crossover fighting game that pits characters from the\u00a0Marvel\u00a0<\/em>franchise against different characters from Capcom games.<\/p>\n

This game was originally released in 2000 in arcades exclusively in Japan<\/a>, but it was later ported to several home consoles, including\u00a0Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox, and Xbox 360. A complete copy of the game for the original Xbox goes for about\u00a0$100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Stubbs The Zombie In\u00a0Rebel Without A Pulse ($104)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse<\/em> is an action game that was released in 2005 on the Xbox and was released on Steam in 2007 but later removed. This game is set in the 1930s and follows a salesman named Edward who is trying to make a living during the Great Depression when things take a turn for the worst. After his girlfriend’s father kills him, he’s left for dead for over 20 years. In the 1950s, he rises from the grave as a zombie and starts the zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n

This game’s main goal is to control Edward, known now as Stubbs, as he tries to feast on all the humans that he possibly can and create as many zombies as he can<\/a> in order to help him. This game has become fairly hard to find. Just the disc by itself costs around $75, but the average price for a complete copy\u00a0is a cool\u00a0$104<\/a>. With a new Stubbs<\/em> game on the horizon, that price could rise further still.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Futurama ($113)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Futurama<\/em> is definitely best-known for being an adult animated series, but the popular TV show was so popular that a video game based on it was also released. It was released on both the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. While a GameCube port was planned, it unfortunately never saw a release.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0The 10 Rarest Game Consoles To Exist Today (And How Much They’re Worth)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The game is a blend of shooting and platforming and, at different points in the game, the player controls multiple different characters from the TV show, including Fry, Bender, Leela, and Zoidberg. Buying only the disc can cost more than $60, but finding a complete copy of this game will cost a collector an average of $113<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Metal Wolf Chaos XD ($114)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Metal Wolf Chaos<\/em> is a game that was only ever released in Japan on the original Xbox. It did, however, receive a worldwide Xbox One release in 2019, meaning that western gamers can finally experience\u00a0the game legally without having to import it.<\/p>\n

Still, this heavily America-focused game has become a rare one on the original Xbox\u00a0due to its limited release. The game costs nearly $100 for just a loose disc, but getting one complete in box can run a collector somewhere in the region of\u00a0$114<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Teen Titans ($173)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Teen Titans<\/em> is a video game that was released in 2006. It’s based on the animated series by the same name and was released on the GameCube and PlayStation 2 as well as the original Xbox. The game allows players to play as\u00a0Robin, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy, and players can switch between these different characters in order to utilize their unique abilities whenever they want.<\/p>\n

Picking up a copy of this game is definitely not cheap. Although the disc alone can sometimes sell for less than $60, a collector that wants a complete copy of\u00a0Teen Titans<\/em>\u00a0is going to have to pay out\u00a0around $140<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast ($218)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast<\/em> is one of the games in the\u00a0OutRun<\/em> franchise and, as the title suggests, was released in 2006. This game has been released on multiple different platforms, including\u00a0 Xbox, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable. This game was a semi-unique one for its time because of the fact that it had online play.<\/p>\n

Just picking up a loose disc of this game can cost up to $83, which is pretty pricey. But, if you’re a collector that wants to have new and complete games, get ready to pay even more. In that condition, this game can go for\u00a0well over $200<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Steel Battalion ($352)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Steel Battalion<\/em> is a game that was released on the original Xbox in 2002 and is unique because of the Xbox accessories that were created specifically for this game. The player has to use these unique accessories to control the tank in the game, and they have to be careful not to let it overheat or have anything else go wrong with it.<\/p>\n

Because of the super unique accessories that were created just for this game, finding the game is definitely not easy and it’s also not cheap. Serious Xbox collectors that are determined to pick the game up should be prepared to pay around\u00a0$352<\/a>\u00a0for the a complete copy of the game and all of its accessories.<\/p>\n
