Recently I found Einhander for the PlayStation in perfect shape with everything at a Goodwill for 1 dollar!....but the best find ever was a few years back a stack off Japanese Saturn games all for 5 dollars about 15 games included was Radiant Silvergun, and Castlevania SOTN, at a yard sale
Wow! Prices have changed sooo much over the years. I personally own over 800 PS1 games which I collected in '06 - '07 when GameStop was trying to get rid of them & the average price was $2 per game cuz they were all on clearance.
Am I the only one that finds Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver ridiculously overpriced and for no reason? Its more expensive than the original pokemons for the gbc.
I love the comments to these videos; 50% of them are people making stupidly insulting, rash comments and they do a COMPLETE 180 degree turn on their arguments or insults once GameSack responds to them, good job disarming troll commentators with your words whoever is in charge of the GameSack channel comments.
I agree, Einhänder is absolutely amazing. I bought it IMMEDIATELY after playing it on a SquareSoft demo disc. It's also available on the Japanese PS3 PSN Store for $10 JPN. Totally worth it!
My dad was a huge RPG buff back in the SNES's heyday, so I have a bunch of normally expensive RPGs, like Super Mario RPG, Lufia II, Chrono Trigger, etc.
Don't you love that feeling... finding out something you already own is now worth lots of money? Found that out recently about El Viento. It's not as pricey as Samson but it's $100 or more.
I remember picking up the US Magic Knight Rayearth for the saturn CIB with a bonus ram cart for 100$ years back. When i feel sad about the choices i have made in life i just check the ebay listings for it, picks me right up.
Seriously EVO was a game with such a good concept that people just want it to be good, I wanted it to be good, but its just not. I tried and tried but so many times I found myself saying "wow, they really fucked this one up".
Ohhh, I love Evo! I'm like halfway through a play through now. I'm actually planning to do a lets play of it since there's almost none on TH-cam, and none of them are as funny as I can be. Check out *GrindCommander* soon, I'll have my first five videos all posted at once sometime between today and July 31st.
I only have Duck Tales 2 form that list. I'd like to have Little Sampson and EVO though. Other rare games I own are Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Amazing Tater, F1 Pole Position (The GB version that's really rare for some reason), Flintstones dino peak, Action 52, Caltron 6 in 1 and Power Blade 2. I do have a few more but those are the highlights
Wizborg i never really heard of many home computers. i will take the time out of my life to find out what that is, buy an Atari 800, and then take over sega
I assume you're talking about Spider Man since that's the only game in this video with pre-rendered stuff. It's not about the size, it's about the animation. Sometimes you need to wait for an animation to complete before controls are responsive. It really depends on the game. For example it can take a few more frames to jump after you press jump if the character needs to crouch first, etc. I was talking about the general controls, not collision. Collision was mentioned in Sonic.
They did indeed. In DKC if Donkey Kong is running and you press jump, he jumps. It doesn't wait for an animation to finish to smoothly progress into a jump. Spider-Man probably isn't as bad as I make it sound concerning the animation, but it did seem to get priority over good controls.
I don't think we could fill an episode with that. Dave enjoys Smash Bros and he owns one of the rip-offs for some reason but I don't think we could say enough about this subject to fill more than a few minutes.
Some rare games I own include Earthbound on the SNES and Suikoden II on the PSX, two of my favorites RPGs ever. Fortunately for me, I owned these games when they were cheap and just watch their value appreciate over time. Of course, like an impulse buying dummy, I also had to blow a wad on games like Snatcher and Popful Mail for the Sega CD. I kinda wish I hadn't done that now... Of course, Dragon Force on the Sega Saturn is really fun though so I got my money's worth out of that.
well, if you have bought the games and are playing them, id say they are worth it :) I always say that one hour playing a game returns about 15 dollars to me. thats roughly the price and the time spend in the cinema. If I buy an expensive game, well then I better get the worth out of it by playing it for a certain amount of time. Its only a waste if you buy a crappy game and pay too much just because it is rare
I have a complete copy of Suikoden II, and it's one of my favourite games. I got it when it was new and affordable, but now it's worth quite a lot since it's one of the rarest Playstation games.
The rarest and most valuable game I own is one you guys didn't talk about - Dynastic Hero for Turbo Duo. You're lucky if you even find the english version being sold at all. I managed to find it FACTORY SEALED, which is pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had to pay $600 for it, but I'm probably one of the very few people who owns a factory sealed english version.
Game Sack what I hate about it: you can web swing across the top of the level and bypass all the enemies. The good thing about it, I paid $100 for it complete with box and instructions. Now I have all the 32X games.
In Japan, I believe the most expensive game that wasn't some kind of special edition or prize is Rendering Ranger on SNES. Apparently it was only sold at Virgin Records stores, which kinda puts it in a special category. A clean complete copy will get bid up to 200,000 yen on Yahoo Auctions, which by the current exchange rate is around $1800. Looks like a pretty bland Turrican clone with some space shooter sections to me though.
"Little Samson" is the American fanfic name someone in a North American office came up with while hung over one morning and thought would be a "Swell idea". The "real" name of the game is approx. "Legend of the Holy Bell" Oh, and I've never played Duck Tales 2 on NES, but the part of the clip showing Launchpad and Gyro calling Scrooge "Uncle Scrooge" instead of "Mr. McD(uck)" just grates on my nerves for some reason. He's not their uncle ffs, who let that slip through? Maybe they actually did that in the show and I just dont recall? It doesn't seem plausible.
Rarest games I have in my collection are Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, and Team Buddies. That's just for the Playstation 1 alone.
castelvania legend should be in the main story line. She has babies with alucard and their children are the Belmont. Stupid creator did not like the fact that the main protagonist in that game was a girl.
it seems like a lot of sense games are dropping in price right now..earthbound on vgpc has been 200 bucks for years now, I checked yesterday and it's going for 160now.. my pocky and rocky 2 went up to 270 for cart only though so that's nice
CheapSushi Not all games have been uploaded, I like to have the real games, I dont know, it is more fun playing the "real thing" to me, but sometimes I try them in emulator before I buy them. And sometimes I have not found the ROM, maybe I need to look better or it is because maybe most games that are uploaded are probably US releases? I mainly have Mega Drive games though. But I think most games that are not available on the net are not so important or fun maybe. For example Outback Joey, but the new releases i dont think is available, and I think that is good that they are not available, so the makers can make atleast some money on them.
I had a rare game until Atlus did a reprint. I have an original copy of SMT3: Nocturne (limited edition including the soundtrack) on PS2. It was going for around $80 disc-only when I bought it. I found it complete at a GameStop for $55 so I snatched it up quick. A few months later, Atlus re-released it. It can now be had for less than $20 on Amazon.
Thanks for Little Samson, it's been months since I was trying to remember that game's name to get the rom. I'm 35yo and played it in my childhood and couldn't remember it's name for my life.
Based on a cursory glance at my Dreamcast collection over on Amazon France, my most valuable game is the European edition of Shenmue II which can apparently go for 799 Euros (1069 US$!!!)...Holy $#!7 I had no idea. Following this would be Dynamite Cop which goes for 74 Euros (99 US$). I also have a handful of Saturn and Game Boy games as well as one Playstation so maybe some of them are valuable but I didn't look through them. I doubt any of my PC games are worth that much...
I have the fantastic game Terranigma for SNES (english version, cartridge only), which is extremely rare. Other than that I also own a shrinkwrapped PAL-version of Shenmue II (one of my favorite games of all time) for the Dreamcast. The absolute rarest game I own is "Colorful Dragon" for the NES. Made in Taiwan, imported to Europe by someone... It's not worth that much, but the version I have is extremely rare. Also, it's a piece of shit and probably the worst game I own.
I remember renting that from a video store when I was younger and then going YEARS without ever seeing a copy of it. I honestly thought I dreamt it up or maybe it was a homebrew cart the store rented out.
12:25 I think its the theme that makes that game so liked. I mean, its such a cool concept being able to evolve semi-realistically in a videogame! reminds me of darwin's island mod for Warcraft 3
I can't believe it!!! Einhander??? I bought that game new & not to mention the memories that game brings!!! Wish I'd never gotten rid of it! I also owned duck tales 2, and it sucks to know they hold more value now :(!
I would say Snatcher but you already did that in the Sega CD episode and gave it its proper fanfare! other rare titles I seen around were Jack Bros. on the Virtual Boy, Earthbound on SNES, Flintstones Surprise at Dinosaur Peak on NES, and Mega Man X3 on SNES, which I enjoyed immensely on the Virtual Console on Wii U!
Most valuable game I have is Gotcha Force for the Gamecube. Got it complete in box for $9.95 at a used game store 7 months ago. Very good game that I'd suggest to everyone, if it wasn't for the $80-$120 price tag.
It's amazing sometimes the deals you can snag. I got a copy of Duck Tales 2 for $14. In that same trip in fact, I got Darkwing Duck (which is semi-difficult to find, but nowhere near as hard as Duck Tales 2) for $24. My copy of Duck Tales 2 would be worth more if it wasn't plastered in rental stickers. It still runs, but I've been told by multiple places for the condition of the stickers it's worth no more than $40-50. The rarest one I have altogether is Snatcher on the Sega CD. Got mine for $200, in-box but without the instruction booklet. However, I have a friend of mine who has the booklet and box (lost the CD).
Trexxit That's the issue, it's smack on the label. On top of that the actual label itself is in bad shape. They flat out told me no collector would buy it for their collection, and they'd just move along and drop the extra money for a good condition cart.
Only one I can think of off the top of my head is Suikoden II, which is a PS1 game which has dropped in price, and you can now get it for around $120 with the case. The price for it used to be around double that, and even then if it's in factory condition, you can expect to pay more than double.
To be honest there aren't many rare games that I have if any at all.. I tend to only buy games I like and to be honest they tend to me the more common titles. I have got a boxed and sealed legend of Zelda collection on the GameCube... Nothing to special though. Great vids chaps
I have a black label version of Kingdom Hearts (black label meaning when it was new before it became a ps2 greatest hit) and apparently KH2 black label version is back up to it's original retail price in value around $50 or so dollars now. If you were a PS2 gamer like I was skim through your collection you might be surprised at what you'll find
xD sorry Dave, but it's very funny for me as german to hear how extreme weird it sounds when you say "Einhänder" ä is pronounced like the "a" in "Hand", just a little bit slower and deeper
Well, recently, I've found out that Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance for the Gamecube has really gone up in price. Nearly 120 dollars for a complete copy. Other than that, I've got loose carts of Gargoyle's Quest 2 for NES and Conker's Bad Fur Day for 64. I've got a few other games that have kept their retail value, like Ikaruga for Gamecube, but not much that worth more than retail.
I've been wanting to play Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground for a long time, but they both command high prices. Haunting Ground even got re-rated by the ESRB for a release on PSN, but it still hasn't happened. Damn.
I was actually able to pick up Ducktales 1&2 for the Famicom in a Hard Off for three bucks a piece, cart only though, but still an awesome deal. My most valuable games would probably have to be Dracula X on PCE CD and Vampire Killer on Megadrive, both complete and in great condition. Also, I have Street Fighter Zero 3 for Matching Service on the Dreamcast and Gigawing 2, both are pretty valuable I suppose.
My mate does own the American version of Final Fantasy 3 for SNES though! Thats going for £150 on ebay at the moment! He bought it for £20 as well the lucky sod!
Lol, I noticed the developers of this spider man game recycled the death cry from Jurassic Park. Haha, such a cheap cashgrab, and now it's worth a fortune. How ironic =s
Skies of Arcadia Legends is one my favorite RPGs and a complete version must be hard to find cause they're so damned expensive on Amazon. I'm glad I kept mine.
I don't generally think the really expensive games are actually worth owning in any "official" capacity. I have boxed or sealed copies of some games, but nothing that really breaks the bank.
It's a shame, Little Samson was an Nes release. Why Taito thought making their premiere platformer on the Nes in 1992 is anybodies guess? Had they released Little Samson on the Genesis and/or Snes it would have done exceptionally well. The game is rare because not many were still playing Nes games in 1992.
ohh my got. i was born in 1978 in Kyoto Japan. yes i lived in golden age of video games. i am impressed & amazed by you guys's enthusiasm. So maniac.
i discovered this channel today and have been going through episodes for the past 6 hours....

Batraghor Narrations I thought that too but the more i saw them the more i found them funny
Batraghor Narrations whatever man, I think it is pretty funny :P They are trying to make the acting cheesy and corny.

I can't tell you how many hours of my life I lost to this channel, especially right after I discovered it. You are not alone.

Bumbler Interactive
Einhander was awesome loved it, and all of the square games of that era.
I wanted Einhander when it was new but could never afford it at the time. Same with Nep turf masters and a Neo Geo.
Omg Einhander??? You lucky bastard!!❤
I release them a bit after midnight my time. Sorry if that's an inconvenience.
No, that alone is AWESOME stuff. Neither of us are ashamed of our love for game music.
Wow! Prices have changed sooo much over the years. I personally own over 800 PS1 games which I collected in '06 - '07 when GameStop was trying to get rid of them & the average price was $2 per game cuz they were all on clearance.

Am I the only one that finds Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver ridiculously overpriced and for no reason? Its more expensive than the original pokemons for the gbc.
That's with every DS Pokemon game, sadly its high likely because of the huge demand.
I found a copy of the Misadventures of Tron Bonne this spring for $2 at a thrift store. It commands $200 currently. Such a great game!
This one has one of my favorite endings ever. Everyone I knew had a friend like Dave there doing that lol.
I love the comments to these videos; 50% of them are people making stupidly insulting, rash comments and they do a COMPLETE 180 degree turn on their arguments or insults once GameSack responds to them, good job disarming troll commentators with your words whoever is in charge of the GameSack channel comments.

Magical Chase looks so adorable!
The comedic endings are really satisfactory. The icing on the GameSack cake you could say.

I didn't know ducktales 2 was rare, I remember getting it when it was brand new and I agree it was a great game
I only have Duck Tales 2 form that list. I'd like to have Little Sampson and EVO though. Other rare games I own are Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Amazing Tater, F1 Pole Position (The GB version that's really rare for some reason), Flintstones dino peak, Action 52, Caltron 6 in 1 and Power Blade 2. I do have a few more but those are the highlights
This might be one of the most well produced show on TH-cam.
My rare game is the US release of Shining Force 3 for the Saturn.
Dustin Batchelor is also one of the best games ever.
EVO reminds me of spore
It's more like an updated version of ECO on the Amiga.. :)
Wizborg never heard of ECO or the Amiga
Perfect Chaos
What!! I can understand not knowing ECO, but the Amiga??? The ultimate in home computers in its day??? Sacrilege!! Kids these days!! ;)
Wizborg i never really heard of many home computers. i will take the time out of my life to find out what that is, buy an Atari 800, and then take over sega
I was also thinking that this is pretty much Spore.
I assume you're talking about Spider Man since that's the only game in this video with pre-rendered stuff. It's not about the size, it's about the animation. Sometimes you need to wait for an animation to complete before controls are responsive. It really depends on the game. For example it can take a few more frames to jump after you press jump if the character needs to crouch first, etc. I was talking about the general controls, not collision. Collision was mentioned in Sonic.
That evo Eden game is the Original spore
No, E.V.O. is a good game.
They did indeed. In DKC if Donkey Kong is running and you press jump, he jumps. It doesn't wait for an animation to finish to smoothly progress into a jump. Spider-Man probably isn't as bad as I make it sound concerning the animation, but it did seem to get priority over good controls.
Spiderman's webs attach to the giant web above Manhattan.

Spider-Man: Web of Fire. I heard of it back in the day. Heard Sega Lord X mention the suckness... Fired an emulator up... God... Damn
My favourite episode so far! Please make a follow up!
The videos are too long for Reddit. They will downvote it once they see the running time if they even click it at all.
5:42 my god, this sounds like a soundtrack of a murder.
Considering the not surprising revelations about WATA graded games that come out in the last few days, that end skit is even funnier.
The music in spider man web of fire made me think their 32X was dying...
It made me feel as if I was the one dying.
Game Sack what I hate about it: you can web swing across the top of the level and bypass all the enemies. The good thing about it, I paid $100 for it complete with box and instructions. Now I have all the 32X games.
datonz i got the game for 30 euros:)
That music gave my testicles cancer.
The 32X is always dying.
I got my EVO for $8 at a flea market around 2008/9. Absolutely insane how it goes for $150+ nowadays.
Bounty Bob strikes back is probably the rarest game I own

I have an ultra rare game called Combat for the 2600. I'll let it go for the LOW LOW price of $500.00's. But only cause I like you two! LOLOL
I expected Panzer Dragoon Saga...I want this game so badly...how the fuck did they lose the source code of this game? I am highly disappointed.
Game Sack: "This game is super rare it's valued at $200"
Neo geo collectors: "Am I a joke to you?"
Yea, I have a few Neo Geo AES games that are well over $500 each....One close to a grand...
@@TheCoolDave i had a neo geo for awhile but it was way too expensive to buy games for. i only ever had 3 games for it
$900 for Sonic 1 on SMS!?
I bought my European copy for £6, you US Sega Master System collectors are crazy!
"Little Samson" is the American fanfic name someone in a North American office came up with while hung over one morning and thought would be a "Swell idea". The "real" name of the game is approx. "Legend of the Holy Bell"
Oh, and I've never played Duck Tales 2 on NES, but the part of the clip showing Launchpad and Gyro calling Scrooge "Uncle Scrooge" instead of "Mr. McD(uck)" just grates on my nerves for some reason. He's not their uncle ffs, who let that slip through? Maybe they actually did that in the show and I just dont recall? It doesn't seem plausible.

+gamesack Einhänder (ein-hen-der ) German for one handed :-)
E.V.O was quite ahead of its time. Its freaking Spore in the 80´s! For that alone the game deserves some praise.
90's.. but yeah, I disagree with about everything they said about it. oh well.
Oh, sorry. I tend to throw 80´s and 90´s stuff in the same category.
ever heard of OPINIONS?
Rarest games I have in my collection are Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, and Team Buddies. That's just for the Playstation 1 alone.
castelvania legend should be in the main story line. She has babies with alucard and their children are the Belmont.
Stupid creator did not like the fact that the main protagonist in that game was a girl.
it seems like a lot of sense games are dropping in price right now..earthbound on vgpc has been 200 bucks for years now, I checked yesterday and it's going for 160now.. my pocky and rocky 2 went up to 270 for cart only though so that's nice
Instead of spending all that money, just get emulators to play those games on pc.
Or, don't break the law and wait for them to drop in price. Fuck your emulators.
Brady Yes, because by collecting used games you really support the developers. Unless a game is released to buy digitally, emulation does no harm.
lol like if nowadays game companies give a shit about some nerd playing old games on an emulator...
People need the original to upload the emulated version, no? I wonder if the entire gameography has been released. Are any missing?
CheapSushi Not all games have been uploaded, I like to have the real games, I dont know, it is more fun playing the "real thing" to me, but sometimes I try them in emulator before I buy them.

I would've thought this episode consisted of nothing but Saturn games (Saving for Radiant Silvergun and Burning Rangers. Sayonara, college savings.)
not liking EVO is literally a joke. best game on the SNES.
You mean it's YOUR favorite game on the SNES. There's certainly nothing wrong with that! :)
opinions, what are they?
Giordan Diodato those are things that game systems dont want you to have, remember their games are the best and all others bite lol

MegaMan X3 cost me like $75 on ebay for my SNES
about 10 years ago, I remember seeing Zelda Ocarina of Time for the N64 factory sealed on Amazon.co.uk for £400 !! it was crazy
The fist one is like a the fantasy zone and wonder boy mixed.
I don't care about how rare a game is, I only care if it looks fun and if it happens to be rare oh well.
Not really any games that are extremely rare but I do have a 100% complete donkey kong classics on the NES that cost like 30 buck :/
I remember renting that from a video store when I was younger and then going YEARS without ever seeing a copy of it. I honestly thought I dreamt it up or maybe it was a homebrew cart the store rented out.
Are you shitting me, I used to have a copy of Magical Chase back when I was younger and I gave it to a friend :/ Son of a bitch.
Time to get it back. Hopefully he doesn't know the value.
the only rareish game I own is nights into dreams with christmas nights and the 3d gamepad, bought the lot for £30, its worth about £60 now I think
12:25 I think its the theme that makes that game so liked. I mean, its such a cool concept being able to evolve semi-realistically in a videogame! reminds me of darwin's island mod for Warcraft 3
Space Harrier, After Burner, Knuckles' Chaotix, Blackthorne, Shadow Squadron, Cosmic Carnage and meybe even Tempo disagree with that statement.
This will go perfectly with the lazy Sunday I had planned, nice one guys!
I bet you dollars to donuts they changed the first level because the "ground level" looked like Tetris. Such a copyright war for that game in the USA.
That'd be cool, except neither of us have cable or pay for TV of any kind so we couldn't watch out own show. :)
I can't believe it!!! Einhander??? I bought that game new & not to mention the memories that game brings!!! Wish I'd never gotten rid of it! I also owned duck tales 2, and it sucks to know they hold more value now :(!
I would say Snatcher but you already did that in the Sega CD episode and gave it its proper fanfare! other rare titles I seen around were Jack Bros. on the Virtual Boy, Earthbound on SNES, Flintstones Surprise at Dinosaur Peak on NES, and Mega Man X3 on SNES, which I enjoyed immensely on the Virtual Console on Wii U!
Most valuable game I have is Gotcha Force for the Gamecube.
Got it complete in box for $9.95 at a used game store 7 months ago. Very good game that I'd suggest to everyone, if it wasn't for the $80-$120 price tag.
It's amazing sometimes the deals you can snag. I got a copy of Duck Tales 2 for $14. In that same trip in fact, I got Darkwing Duck (which is semi-difficult to find, but nowhere near as hard as Duck Tales 2) for $24. My copy of Duck Tales 2 would be worth more if it wasn't plastered in rental stickers. It still runs, but I've been told by multiple places for the condition of the stickers it's worth no more than $40-50.
The rarest one I have altogether is Snatcher on the Sega CD. Got mine for $200, in-box but without the instruction booklet. However, I have a friend of mine who has the booklet and box (lost the CD).

try goo gone unless its on the game label...
Trexxit That's the issue, it's smack on the label. On top of that the actual label itself is in bad shape. They flat out told me no collector would buy it for their collection, and they'd just move along and drop the extra money for a good condition cart.
Only one I can think of off the top of my head is Suikoden II, which is a PS1 game which has dropped in price, and you can now get it for around $120 with the case. The price for it used to be around double that, and even then if it's in factory condition, you can expect to pay more than double.
some went up in price. Persona 2 Eternal Punishment is now $80 complete
***** yeah i sold my suikoden 2 for 80 bucks complete to level up games in the hamilton mall NJ. The guy offered 48 originally like an asshole.
To be honest there aren't many rare games that I have if any at all.. I tend to only buy games I like and to be honest they tend to me the more common titles. I have got a boxed and sealed legend of Zelda collection on the GameCube... Nothing to special though.
Great vids chaps
I have a black label version of Kingdom Hearts (black label meaning when it was new before it became a ps2 greatest hit) and apparently KH2 black label version is back up to it's original retail price in value around $50 or so dollars now. If you were a PS2 gamer like I was skim through your collection you might be surprised at what you'll find
xD sorry Dave, but it's very funny for me as german to hear how extreme weird it sounds when you say "Einhänder"
ä is pronounced like the "a" in "Hand", just a little bit slower and deeper
Well, recently, I've found out that Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance for the Gamecube has really gone up in price. Nearly 120 dollars for a complete copy. Other than that, I've got loose carts of Gargoyle's Quest 2 for NES and Conker's Bad Fur Day for 64. I've got a few other games that have kept their retail value, like Ikaruga for Gamecube, but not much that worth more than retail.
I dont own a rare game but I own two rare consoles. The Golden Ps2 (phat) and pure white japanese Nintendo DS
Call NBC for us! Err... maybe another network might be better. :)
Spesheeality?? You mean 'specialty'? They misunderestimated me.
Conker's Bad Fur Day - N64
I've been wanting to play Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground for a long time, but they both command high prices. Haunting Ground even got re-rated by the ESRB for a release on PSN, but it still hasn't happened. Damn.
I was actually able to pick up Ducktales 1&2 for the Famicom in a Hard Off for three bucks a piece, cart only though, but still an awesome deal.
My most valuable games would probably have to be Dracula X on PCE CD and Vampire Killer on Megadrive, both complete and in great condition. Also, I have Street Fighter Zero 3 for Matching Service on the Dreamcast and Gigawing 2, both are pretty valuable I suppose.
Asuka 120% BURNING Fest. 3-disk version of the FM TOWNS version is very sought after, but is more affordable than most other FM TOWNS games.
Don't know why you guys have such few views and subscribers your channel is amazing!!
My mate does own the American version of Final Fantasy 3 for SNES though! Thats going for £150 on ebay at the moment! He bought it for £20 as well the lucky sod!
Lol, I noticed the developers of this spider man game recycled the death cry from Jurassic Park. Haha, such a cheap cashgrab, and now it's worth a fortune. How ironic =s
Skies of Arcadia Legends is one my favorite RPGs and a complete version must be hard to find cause they're so damned expensive on Amazon. I'm glad I kept mine.
Amazon is the worst place to check for retro games
+moviemetalhead He's right. The prices there are hilariously inflated. You have a much better chance checking eBay daily.
I don't generally think the really expensive games are actually worth owning in any "official" capacity. I have boxed or sealed copies of some games, but nothing that really breaks the bank.
Persona Revelations goes for about 70 on amazon which I almost considered but then I read the description and it was disc only! Blah. Didn't get it.
My rarest is Panzer Dragoon Saga
Also, we need a follow up. This is the best episode yet!
Castlevania Legends is waaay better than the Castlevania Adventure, at least. And huh? Samson's theme is the best of the 4, what's wrong with you man
Opinions, clown
That I don't know, maybe it had a lower distribution or it's in higher demand. Either way, it's a great game so I didn't mind paying a little extra.
Thanks Dave. Hard Off is a chain of used goods stores in Japan where I curently live, they always have a TON of games and consoles for dirt cheap.
I think my rarest is Super Street Fighter II PAL on Saturn. Most of the time one can't even find it on ebay. Not for any price...
It's a shame, Little Samson was an Nes release. Why Taito thought making their premiere platformer on the Nes in 1992 is anybodies guess? Had they released Little Samson on the Genesis and/or Snes it would have done exceptionally well. The game is rare because not many were still playing Nes games in 1992.
