    I have Gunstar Heroes in a 4 in 1 game cartridge. The very first sega megadrive game that I bought was Alien Soldier. At the time I didn’t appreciate it for what he was. At the time my favorite game was Golden Axe 3. Now ... not only Alien Soldier is my favorite game for MG... I consider it to be the best MG game that I ever played. I would like to see a re-release of the game with all the ideas that the development team had to cut for time constraints and hardware limitations. I would sign a petition for it ;).

    A great breakdown of some truly great and memorable MD games that are at such unbelievable prices! It's amazing to me to know that i have some pretty rare/pricey games in my own collection that i didn't even realise have become so valuable. I was lucky to scoop up a Japanese Version of Gunstar Heroes when i was there on holiday many years ago, though maybe not as expensive on the market when compared to the English/Pal version. I also was lucky enough to pick up Probotector (Contra: Hard Corps in the US) back in the 90s used complete in box and manual. Other titles that i was luckily enough to find at car-boot sales or gaming stores throughout the years growing up were titles like Dynamite Headdy, SplatterHouse 2, Mega Bomberman, Comix Zone, Red Zone, Double Dragon and Boogerman all complete in box with manual and all in surprisingly good condition.
    Two MD titles that i did have to pay a £100+ for was the Brazilian only mint in box original version of Duke Nuken 3D and the American boxed version of GROWL.

    Worth mentioning one of these games can be found for a lot less, Gunstar Heroes can be found on the 4 in 1 cart called "Classic Collection" and not only that but unlike the original release this combo pack has no region protection on the cart, so if you want to pop it in a Genesis or modded megadrive you can experience the game in 60hz with no issues.

    Now is a terrible time to collect for megadrive. Prices have doubled and trippled on so many titles now it's crazy.
    I think the main reason Mega drive is so expensive now is because the people who used to play it at the time are now in the 35-40 age range and looking to relive their childhood gaming memories. At 35-40 years old you're likely to be in a stable career with some disposable income to start collecting. Maybe prices will go down a bit once we get a bit older and start collecting something else. But now many games are in the hands of collectors who won't part with them without a good price.

    • @RetroGamerBoy

    The Megadrive/SNES market right now is being driven by guys (and girls) in their 40's who perhaps have a bit of disposable income for the first time in ages, having nostalgic feels for when they were age 10 to 14.

    Interesting video and I owned all of these titles about 5 years ago... I'm pretty sure you own my actual old copy of Lakers Vs Celtics lol - I remember my manual having a tiny, tiny fold at the top right hand edge? Anyways, collect what you love and as long as your not hurting anyone, what's the problem. I just got to a point with my full PAL set that all I could see was money as I wasn't playing 95% of them and my worry was with the longevity of the cartridges... how long until the carts breakdown due to age and don't work anymore. Sure, you can possibly get bit replaced etc but then is the game original after that etc etc... I had a ton of hyper expensive Neo Geo AES games that I sold for that reason. I now just collect my most favourite games sealed for various consoles to preserve the physical packaging but play games on emulation etc... We are all very different so do what makes you happy... it's lovely to see all the Megadrive games together I won't lie, I do miss my Mega Drive collection from time to time.

    • @RetroGamerBoy

    I don't collect for this very reason. I remember trying to collect baseball cards in the states - most of the ones I'd get were worthless, you'd have to invest in plastic to protect it, and should disaster - fire, flood, pests - get to it, they become worthless. I don't want to do that to video games - if I get a game, I want to play it, not put it in something protective. That just ruins the experience for me.
    That being said, I'm into emulation, and there's a few I'll have to look up to try - and if I like, to see if an online store (GOG, Nintendo E-Shop, etc) has.

    • @RetroGamerBoy

    OK Mike...you need to explain for those of us on the other side of the pond: What the hell is the difference between a UK set and a PAL set? As someone who is VERY deep into the complete GLOBAL MegaGen exclusive set, I refer to EVERYTHING from the Europe continent as PAL. In building my PAL set, I have noticed some games (like Psycho Pinball) that have a UK and a German release but in the end, they are both PAL and its more of a PAL PACKAGING variant to me so it does not merit its own region. Daze Before Christmas is an Australian Game (though still PAL) but its a regional exclusive to a that continent. The whole PAL exclusives thing seems to be a bit of a dogs breakfast to me as there SEEMS to be little documentation on PAL release variants by country.

      Brazil is a PAL territory as well, it had a number of Genesis games and exclusives released for it. There are to EA NHL games that got a local country releases. There are variants of FIFA for some countries, and Australia also had some exclusives. Germany had some games banded so a full German set is different from a full UK set. It's all a bit messy.

      My biggest disappointment with the Analog Mega SG was that it doesn’t play 32X games. Obviously, I realise that would have been a ton of extra work, but if they ever release an FPGA equivalent of the MD/32X hybrid Sega almost released, I’d snap it up immediately.

    I've only just started collecting Mega Drive games, the most I've spent on any game is around £65 and I find it hard to justify spending much more than that in most cases. The one game game I really do want for my collection is Probotector but it's selling for ridiculous amounts at the moment and I really don't think it's worth it. One thing I have noticed on Ebay is that while some games are advertised for a lot of money they rarely ever sell, I see the same games for weeks or months on end at these high prices and nobody is buying them.

    Brilliant video Mike! As always
    I share the ebay frustration. Too many times a game arrives with a faded spine or unseen damage... it feels like being conned! The worst was a game arrived with actual screws through the back of the cartridge (opposed to sega ones) butchered! Also I picked up a perfect copy of phantasy star 4... £105... it arrived in a thin envelope and the box got damaged in the mail!! I just spent over £100 the least you could do is pack it safely! Anyway... there are some good sellers still out there so keep faith!
    Are these games worth the price? Such a difficult question. I would love to see a production and sales list of all games
    To be blunt no game should be worth over a few hundred pounds unless it's genuinely rare. But I've spent a shit tonne over the past year and I don't regret it.
    My most expensive games have been pirates of darkwater, separation anxiety and death and return of superman... none of these games are in collector condition!!
    I will say it is so hard to find a real bargain these days and that sucks for any collector.

    Wow, didn't expect Wolverine to be on this list--I feel like that's one that would've had so, so many copies out there. PS4 not so surprised though. I hadn't original thought MLH would be until recently when more and more people have talked of how pricey it's become.
    Glad we've managed to score TMNT and Gunstar--these are games that have consistently seemed to have kept their value over the last decade or so. AND they're great games actually worth playing unlike some pricier games. For instance, SoR3--not terrible, but not the best and to be so expensive...
    It's crazy to see a game going for sooo much--thousands--when the cart isn't the pricey bit but all the inside goodies and cover art!
    A wild Sega Head sighting!!!

    Hallo Mike,hier ist Mike. ;-)
    Auch wenn viele PAL Spiele mittlerweile auch "rar" sind, sind meine seltensten Titel doch die japanischen.
    Battlemania 2 (Dai Gin Joj) und vor allem Eleminate Down sind meine seltensten und teuersten Spiele- und beide sind großartig!
    Auch Streets of Rage 3 spiele ich lieber in der japanischen Version.
    Bei Phantasy Star 4 empfiehlt sich natürlich die PAL Version ;-)
    Aber die komplette Serie 1-4 ist halt nur in japan erhältlich. ( Teil 1 wurde vom Master System umgesetzt.)
    Fraglos wird Lakers vs Celtice aud ewig dein seltenstes und wertvollstes spiel sein!!
    Keep on Mike.

    I remember my parents trading mine and my brother's Master System 2 and all our games at Cash Converters in order to get money towards a PlayStation 1. They gave us like £30 for the console and 20 games, tight bastards :D . Regret I never kept a collection of games from those days.

    The games have been goign up in price over the past about 15 years really.
    It has totally ruined collecting for me and many others. I had a huge collection in the past, but sold them all as can not justify buying them any more, or having games sat on the shelf worth cash and not being paid!
    I also think once our generation dies out the market will drop very fast. The main reason to collect these games in nostalgia, but teh new generation wont care about them like we do. So, I think they will peak and then drop faster than they rose? ;)
