    Doesn't matter if it's the PlayStation 5, the NES or even earlier, retro video games have been getting more and more expensive every year. Somehow people are treating these things like crypto, NFTs, AI Art or whatever the heck grifters are peddling these days. But anyways, even if they're rare they deserve to be covered, SO HERE WE ARE. No copies of Marvel vs Capcom 1 for the PlayStation 1 were bought in the making of this video... I.... promise.......

      You know soy has estrogen encouraging like stuff in it that encourages estrogen to grow in men and women and I don't think men need any more estrogen so that's one reason I don't do soy. It doesn't the second it doesn't taste good. And third is that it's like a genetically modified made plant that humans made in a lab 🧪🧫!!!

      I'm trying to highlight rarities in hopes that they can be re-released or have some sort of spotlight on them. I highly endorse emulation within the first minute of the video and this problem has been going on long before I've been around. It's insane that this is one of the only areas of media that doesn't want to actively make older products more readily available. I'm very thankful for archive websites.

    As long as you don't scratch up the label side of the CD or store the disc in extreme conditions, you don't really need to worry about disc rot. Even GameCube games that have peeling labels will still work because of the plastic on both sides. Disc rot generally requires the metallic layer to be exposed to air, which is difficult for DVDs and Blu-rays unless it was a bad disc pressing.

    Def Jam: Fight For NY - The Takeover on PSP is probably the most affordable version of the game, and it's still not even close to cheap. It's a very faithful and critically acclaimed port that just never sold well from my knowledge, and it's probably as cheap as it is because it's a handheld game on the fairly inexpensive PSP. Still, it's one of the most expensive games on the console at a mindboggling $90 CAD avg. for a CIB copy, however you can play it officially without missing your mortgage by just getting it digitally on the PSP, you can still buy it on the PSN store on PS3 and transfer it to PSP (or just mod the PSP, like duh).

Excluding older CD titles and Dreamcast GD-ROMs, its I think under 4% of discs in the next 25 years are at risk of rotting.

    Funfact: Snatcher is part of the Metal Gear franchise, the main character has a Metal Gear Mk. II as his sidekick, similar to the one Snake uses in MGS4 (though Snakes is a newer revision with modern tech). It also features the character Petrovich Madnar, who appeared in both the origin Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

    Professor Layton & the Azran Legacy is my personal holy grail. It & the Ace Attorney crossover are perpetually out of my reach. I'm also sad that Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology was once on GameStop's website for a reasonable $40 a few years ago. IT WAS ALMOST MINE, but my hesitation has now cost me my chance to have both the original & the remake.

  • @stephenharris5532
    @stephenharris5532 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I'm lucky to have bought a good amount of games over the years before they got expensive. But the one I regret missing out on the most was a copy of Hagane: The Final Conflict for like $12 in the early 2000s. I'm pretty sure I passed up a copy of Demons Crest as well because I hadn't heard of it, but I vividly remember checking it out for awhile and deciding $12 was too much. To be fair I was a broke kid and looking for games in the under $5 range.

  • @ThatGuyOnTheSpectrum
    @ThatGuyOnTheSpectrum 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I used to own a copy of Solorarobo, and that game was Hella fun. It felt like playing 2 seasons of great anime with pretty enjoyabe combat ant racing.
    The other one was Dokapon Kingdom (and Journey to an extent) which I just played and beat with a group of friends (using the Connect version mind you) honestly not as bad and "cutthroat" as people say it is. If you're just all chosing not to go after each other (to an extent), it's a fun romp that isn't even that long.

I am not counting the sealed games of course. i should note that i paid MSRP or less for them all, i've been collecting for a while. Then there is Ultima Online Charter Edition for PC... it's mint and complete and a bitch to find in such condition, i wouldn't value it for a penny under $1k. I even have the original retail release of UO with the pin... that $500 easy.

On the Wonderswan side, Judgement Silversword, Mega Man, Golden Axe, and others.

    Biggest takeaway from this... at the end. You mentioned Suikoden. I got the first one in a bargain bin for $5 as a clearance item. Got another years later for $15 after my disc got scratched.
    I own almost every iteration of that franchise and absolutely love it! Looking forward to the HD remake when/if it comes.
    Also, forgot about Def Jam. Shame my pocket book aint so big these days.

    I learned a lesson in the early 1980s. I sold some games at the time to buy a new motorobike. Although I needed it, I regretted selling stuff so I never sold anything ever again.
    And because of that I still have every game I've bought since then and I've amassed quite a lot over the years. Many of which fetch massive amounts now. I'd always wait until a console is about 1/5 generations old and pick up all the stuff cheap.
    Seeing how much some of these go for amazes me.

    When it comes to to Def Jam: Battle of NY, I've actually found the discs for both the Xbox and PS2 versions at yard sales in the past for just $1 each. And funnily enough, a few years back I was at a random yard sale and saw the Gamecube case in a bin for $1. I immediately scooped it up, but when I opened it there was a different disk inside. So now I have the PS2 and Xbox discs without the cases, and the Gamecube case without the disk.

    Just wanted to add to the video. There's also Flash carts, Optical disk drive emulation, and Soft modding.
    A long detailed explanation in case your interested:
    Not only is emulation an option for most people that can't see themselves spending thousands on a single game but, there is also the option for Flash carts like the Everdrive. So you can still experience the same games on native hardware including being able to run rom hacks as well. There's also Optical disk drive emulators like GDEMU for the Sega Dreamcast. Just like in the name you can throw in a huge collection Sega Dreamcast games on an SD card and the console will believe that there is a disk game running on an optical disk drive. Can't forget about the soft modding scene as well for consoles from the 6th to 7th gen console which are much easier to do now a days as long as you have a computer or laptop. 8th gen on the other hand is still in work progress the ps4 is hard to mod do to security updates that sony has pushed and its all thanks to hackers selling off security weaknesses to Sony for a profit. It will probably take forever for the soft modding community to be able to get all software updates of any kind to be soft mod-able.
