Quoted from Pinballmike217:

Most of the rare games are rare because they stank and the factory couldn't sell any. Rare DOES NOT always equal valuable. Games like Big Bang Bar and Kingpin are valuable because they are great games. Capcom could have sold thousands of each if they didn't go out of business.

Eh, Kingpin is worth money because rarity and the story behind it. Pinball Magic is the better player, but not as rare and no story so not worth near as much.

Rarity doesn't always mean it was bad. Capcom couldn't sell because of Williams. Alvin G had the same problem and few would argue that mystery castle is a bad game despite its low production run.

Quoted from Pinballmike217:

Yes there is. Most rare games are rare because they didn't sell well. The game that is rare and good is the exception.

Not really seeing a huge correlation between rarity and how good a machine is. Godzill and LIS flopped as films. Godzilla wasn't a bad machine, but it got dropped asap. LIS is not nearly as bad as some more common segas, but lacks due to code. Code that would have been updated if the license wasn't garbage.

Alvin G and Capcom got muscled out by Williams. Look into the history of how Williams handled new companies.

Quoted from robertmee:

Eight Ball Deluxe LE also....probably a rare case where the LE was worse.

Le was more an excuse to sell undesirable cabinets.
