Dráscula is meant to be hard to find.

Actually it's a Russian game.
Now, one really rare game is The Ultimate Haunted House, a children's adventure game by Gahan Wilson & Microsoft. I played it as a kid and was very impressed by the artwork, the gameworld, the atmosphere (there were moments when I was almost scared to death). Great game, it's a shame I scratched my CD shortly after replaying it several times..

The edition of Rise of the dragon you mention sounds quite rare. Is the box art the same as the VGA one? I don´t have The Dark half, but im looking forward to add it to my collection (if I could find it...)
I have both Alfred Pelrock & the original release of Hollywood monsters, theyre not rare in my country at all.

Identical, except I noticed that the VGA release has 256 Color Version written under the title, where as the 16 Color Version does not (at least mine doesn't).

Well, there's one being sold on Amazon for $35. Personally, I don't think it's worth that, hard to find or not.

I must visit Argentina some time.

I suspected that you had the names mixed, Critical Path (on my "to get" list) is a less-common game than the well-known legend adventure.
More rare adventures, found some info around the web:
Grackon`s Curse
Stay Tooned
Thorgal Quest
Tlon - A misty story

Thorgal's Quest as in Curse of Atlantis? If so, I think that's fairly easy to come about. I had it and got rid of it because I thought it was awful. I got the X-Files FMV game for it though, so I didn't improve much.
A game that's occurred to me just now that hasn't been mentioned yet is Blue Heat: The Case of the Cover Girl Murders. That's a fairly hard one to find, I believe.
Looking over my collection I can't say I own any truly "rare" game. I do have some games that I like to refer to as obscure though, like for example Noctropolis, BloodNet, Veil of Darkness, Cruise for a Corpse (for the PC), and besides Adventures, Blood Bowl, Albion, Solar Winds Episodes 1 & 2 (which are still sold by mail order by EpicClassics) and Whale's Voyage (for the PC, I think the Amiga version is very common).
