I've been in this hobby for quite a number of years now. Started collecting and repairing around 1995, but have been playing forever.
I was at a campground this weekend and they had a fully working Pigskin in their arcade. I realized it had been probably 20 years since I had seen one of these. (Edit: I think the one local arcade I used to frequent had bought one new.) I figured being "in the hobby/business" that I'd have stumbled across one of these since then, but I honestly can say I don't think I have.
That got me to thinking... There are a handful of games that I never see anymore... Two specifically come to mind... Pigskin 621 A.D. and Xenophobe.
The last Xenophobe I saw was probably 10+ years ago at TNT Amusements in their showroom.
I'm including "seeing" as having been mentioned on the forums and newsgroups, pictures, eBay, CraigsList, etc. (Edit: or even at auctions, arcades, warehouses, etc.) It's like these games have completely disappeared, yet were not really rare to begin with.
Your contributions to the "perceived rarity" list?
