Multi Your Rarest/Most Expensive Game

[Bandicoot]

I was thinking that. That's kinda something you hold onto unless you REALLY need the money. Halo Reach Legendary edition can go, if you want to play Halo Reach, you can find a regular copy for dirt cheap. Unless you have a strong attachment to the game and series.

Make sure the discs are safe. Disc rot is a real thing, and games from the 90s are most suseptible.

I think they added reach to MC collection. Besides I can grab that cheap as standard if I wanted to replay it.

I've never heard of PS1 games getting disc rot though

A few that I remembered I had

I dont know how good pricecharting.com is

But I was expecting Suikoden 3 and SMT Nocturne to be worth more than they show

I also have Sakura Wars so long my love on ps2

Missed this thread. I have a large collection and from quite early on I had an eye on the individual games from NES to PS2 that were obviously going up in price. So I have quite a few of the individual games that have already been named in this thread. My default answer to this has always been Castlevania SotN on PS1, which for so long was just the most expensive game that I was generally aware of. I’ve just checked recent solds and it’s up to around £600 now.

The only game that immediately comes to mind that might be worth more is Castlevania 3 on the NES. But that’s actually very rare now and I can’t even find any sold listings on Ebay.

However, I do have a sealed copy of Final Fantasy Adventure on the Gameboy. I don’t collect sealed games generally, but I bought that myself from EB in about 2002 and just never opened it. I have no idea what it’s worth but a collector would probably pay close to four figures for it I suspect.

Not that you guys wouldn’t believe me, but proof;

The price charting prices for that game sealed are all over the place. I see anywhere from $300 to $2000. Keep in mind you have the PAL version box, so probably on the lower end (contrary to PAL SotN)

Yeah it's one of those games that is so genuinely rare that the price will be whatever someone wants to pay for it.

I think it has more to do with the condition of the sealed box. Yours looks really good, so you'd probably get on the higher end. I don't normally advocate for getting games graded, but it could be worth it in your case.

It has crossed my mind. It's in a protective case, but the box is pretty much mint as far as I can recall. I did spend some time researching whether this was ever factory sealed with a red strip, but I think I reached the conclusion that it wasn't. Certainly every other copy I've seen is shrink wrapped like mine rather than with the red strip. It's something that I'll have to think further about.

It bothers me that Sympony of the Night is the only 2D Castlevania game not included in any of the Castlevania collections. Only physical releases outside of the PS1 are on a XB360 Konami Classics collection which I still have never seen in stores or being sold by vendors at cons.

Luckily, Castlevania 3 IS included in a collection on the Switch. That collection even has the Genesis exclusive game.

There's a Castlevania: Requiem collection that includes SotN (w/ PSP enhancements) and Rondo of Blood (translated)

PS4 exclusive, looks like. Not cheap either. Would rather get the PS1 version or just buy the Konami collection on eBay...

Or just play the XB360 digital release I bought before the shop shutdown.

$5 on PS store for digital

I have Pokémon Stadium 2 with the manual. I don't know what happened to the box, but the box alone is 119 bucks. The game is over 50 bucks. I don't really like Pokémon, so the Pokémon Stadium games are the only ones I own.

Oh hey, I own this!



I doubt I have much else outside of the N64 that has value. I have some SE Asia region games that would just be harder to sell.

I traded it in. Was never going to play it. Found that it doesn't do much to advance the gameplay of Stadium 1, so if I somehow want to play Pokémon Stadium, I'll just repurchase that instead.
