What's the Most You've Ever Paid for a Single Game?

[digitalpress]

Whether it was something very new and trendy and expensive or something very vintage... what was the most money you've ever shelled out for one game?

I'll share my answer later. For now, it's up to you!

[autobotracing]

super mario 64 when it came out i think it was $70 or 80 $

[neschampion]

Most i've ever paid is $400 a pop for each one of the Panesian games complete.

[Raedon]

Final Fantasy III snes 69.99 - I still need another copy of this.. my original copy and my original Snes dissappeared from an unlocked dorm room 7 years ago, never to be seen agian.

[tynstar]

Final Fantasy II $49.99 used complete. $49.99 for new games.

[ClubNinja]

Sonic Adventure 2 when it came out, for $39.99. It's the only console game I've purchased the day of release, mainly because I wanted that nifty Sonic Anniversary pack while supplies lasted ; )

[Arrrhalomynn]

About $100 for Panzer Dragoon Saga. And I don't even like rpg's...

[Ascending Wordsmith]

From my pocket came $265.00 for PC Genjin 3: Taikenban.

[den68]

for new games: $49.99 for Virtua Fighter 4 and Kingdom Hearts.

for old games: $30.00 for used import copy of House of the Dead for Saturn.

[Dobie]

I paid $70 for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the day it came out. As far as older (than 1990) games go, I paid $15 for Super Dodge Ball for NES.

[BenT]

~$160 for Alien Soldier, JPN Mega Drive. Before that, I think it was around $100 for US Panzer Dragoon Saga (SAT).

Was Alien Soldier worth that much for gameplay? Hell no. Just to own? Yeah.

[buttasuperb]

130 for KoF '98 AES

[Felixthegamer]

I am not sure how much I have spent on newer games. I don't buy new too often any more, but I used to. As far as used, I spent $34 for Final Fantasy III for Snes. I know it wasn't the best price, but it was for a friend who really wanted it.

[jaydubnb]

Sometime in the early 90s I paid $85-90 for the import Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting for the SNES. -No one- believed me when i said i had it and when they finally saw it, i had a ton of new "best friends" lol

[portnoyd]

$300 for a sealed Myriad 6 in 1 ;)

dave

[Captain Wrong]

$70 for Battle Garegga import Saturn.

Worth it? Yep.

[DDCecil]

Insane Purchase - $200 for Swordquest Waterworld with Hint Book and Comic

Somewhat Sane Purchase - $130 for Dracula X for PC Engine (3 different times, and it was always 130...)

[Pheidippides]

Up until now about 70 bucks for various 64 games. in a few days though im going to plop out $200 for Steel Battalion.

[TRM]

Crystalis proto on NES--insane price.
Castlevania 3-complete-Famicom- semi insane price but well worth it.

[ashbourn]

I think i payed $80 once but forget what game.

[Buyatari]

$4,000.00 for a gold NWC cart.

Ouch!

Adam

[nesman85]

@trm, how much was the insane price?

mine is adventures of lolo 3 nes proto - $225

[Vroomfunkel]

I paid something like £70 ($110) for Panzer Dragoon Saga (PAL). Worth it? Absolutely, I loved it and lost months playing it! Sadly, I then had to sell it because I was skint and I only bought it on the basis that I could sell it again afterwards. I got £90 for it, but I am still sad that I let it go. First of all, because it was such a great game - and second of all, because it now regualrly fetches £100, and my copy was in almost perfect condition - which is hard to find on the PAL version because the cardboard outer is easily damaged. Foolish really, because I probably wouldn't have played it again, since I coimpleted it, but I can't help feeling the occasional pang of regret that it is gone :-(

I paid £30 ($50) for Snatcher on the Mega CD (PAL) - which was 100% worth it, one of my all time favourite games! I loved the mix of RPG style adventure and frantic lightgun action! The story was outstanding and the anime was great.

I bid more than that for Panorama Cotton for the Megadrive, but lost the auction. On the other hand, I just won Mega Man - Wily Wars (PAL Megadrive) for £15, so that makes up for it!

Vroomfunkel

[rbudrick]

$250 for 7800 monitor cart with big ass book, plus some extra sheets that were added to the book handwritten by the author.

$209 for Boxed Chase the Chuck Wagon with instructions and original coupon you had to send in to get the game.

$80 for VCS Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Few others...can't think right now.


While were at it:
$0.25 (yes, 25 cents) for Swordquest Waterworld--actually got it free afterward because I fixed his VCS. Gave me back quarter.



-Rob

$.033 for NES Proto Total Recall

[CPUWIZ]

Atari 2600 - Sealed Glib: Won't mention price but it was enough. :shock:

[tom]

$550.00 for
Basketball, Brain Games, W.I.N. and Interplanetary Voyage (all boxed)
on Magnavox Odyssey




www.btinternet.com/~thomasholzer

[johnny arcade]

$99.99 all day long... for the N64 version of Cruisin' USA when it first came out.

On a side note, how come Nintendo games were always more? Anybody ever notice how SNES games were always $10 to $20 more than Genesis titles? Same with N64 stuff. $99.99? In hindsight, THAT'S A RIP!

[nesman85]

i've never seen an n64 game new for more than 69.99

[Goodwill Hunter]

You guys are nuts! I've shelled out $40.00 each for several 2600 CGE releases, but the most I've paid for a single game was $42.00 for a DC European Shenmue II I spotted in mint condition at a local used game store. It even came with a boot disc but I still felt like I was spending too much.

Got my Panzer Saga for $20 at TRU, got my Tooth Protectors for .79 at a thrift and got my PS2 GTA III for $9.99 at Goodwill. Getting 'em cheap is half the fun for me. And waiting for new releases to show up used at 1/4 the price isn't a problem as I have a beefy backlog of games to go through. Although I must admit I once dropped a total of $280 in one day at 5 different Best Buys when they knocked all of their Saturn games down to $10.00....timing is everything

A cheap bastard and proud of it!
Rich

[Masco73]

$70 for n64 Goldeneye when it came out. Worth every penny!!

[Buyatari]

$.033 for NES Proto Total Recall


3 and 3/10ths of a cent !!

Man you guys ARE cheap. Just give the guy his 4 cents and call it a day. I am still trying to figure out how you mananged to pull this one off.

<looks into DPs magic 8-ball deeply>

"OK I'm giving you a full 4 cents today for this NES proto but you still owe me buddy !! " as you wave a pointed finger in the strangers face.

The stranger doesn't say a word and you turn to leave
But just as you are about to walk away a thought clouds your mind. What if this stranger never returns the 7/10ths of a cent.

"Do you have anything cheap like a copy of Final Fantasy or an Atari 2600 proto for the remaining 7/10ths of a cent? I just hate when people owe me money. I never know when I can expect it back."

"I don't have anything like that but I'll make sure to do you right by next Monday, good sir" the stranger says as he shakes from head to toe.

Yet thats was the last you ever saw of the stranger and the 7/10th of a cent were lost forever.

I guess you were right all along. You just can't trust anyone these days.

<pulls away from DPs magic 8-ball>

Ahh so thats how it happened.......
Adam

[sphereman]

The most I ever paid games is 50 bucks each for games such as:
Intellivision
Tutankham
Super Cobra

Tunix Home Arcade
Funky Fish
R2D Tank

Thanks for looking
Tim :Fade-color

[Stark]

I think $125 for Swordquest Waterworld a few years ago. But Steel Battalion on the X-box w/controller might break that when I buy it.

[Nespit]

around 1200 for a gold NWC.

[GENESISNES]

65 bucks for harvest moon 64. I felt i payd too much until i played the game.

[Keir]

When I bought my GBA I needed a game for it so I bought Castlevania: CotM at list price ($40)

Never again! It's a good game, but I'd rather spend $40 on 40 crap games at $1 a piece. (Besides, what are the chances that you'll buy 40 games and not find one good game in the buch?)

Actually, I just ordered "Napple Tale" for the DC, but it's a present for my brother so it shouldn't count. That was $55.

[maxlords]

I paid $200 + shipping for Castlevania X: Rondo of the Blood for PCE about a year an a half ago when you couldn't find it for less..now its sells for $60..go figure :(

The next highest would probably be Alien Soldier PAL for $106 + shipping from Britain, and Panzer Dragoon Saga, which I bought brand spanking new when it came out for $75!

And I'll add the most expensive game I've ever sold was more than the most expensive game I bought. I sold a factory sealed Steam Hearts for PCE for $300 a few months ago :) I also sold my entire arcade for $10,000 (60 arcade games) but I doubt that arcade games count, or the most expensive game I'd have bought would be a Spy Hunter pinball for $500.

[autobotracing]

i change my original post the most costly game for me was virtua racing when it came out it was like $85 i think

[Mr. NEStalgia]

The most I've ever spent on a game would be $49.99 for Metal Geat Solid 2 for PS2!

Man, $4,000 for a gold NWC?!?!?!! Either you're made of money, or you're insane. I'd have to sell my house (if I had one...I'm a kid ya know) to pay that off! Well, hope it was worth it. Better have been darn fun too!

-=Mr. NEStalgia=-

[Mayhem]

Was $230 for the C64 Narco Police cart... until I got the complete Quadrun a little while back... $920 total for the package including other stuff...

[Nature Boy]

I paid $90 + tax (which in Ontario is 15%, so the total was $103.50) for, I'm embarassed to say, Hexen on N64. I was starved for new games at the time...

[johnny arcade]

@nesman85 - Okay, so maybe you haven't, but Cruisin' USA was $99.99 at my local Funcoland when it first came out. What would that be? Late 1996?

[Tiger_Tailz]

I try to set my limit at $100. Which means or more than likely, I'll never get to play Radiant Silvergun at all for the Saturn. The most i paid so far was $100 for Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn). Next would be $80 for Lucienne's Quest (3DO) and $80 for Spiderman: Web of Fire (32X)
I'll have to agree with one of the previous posts that Steel Battalion will break my previous limit.

[Kroogah]

I think I paid $70 for Chrono Trigger when it first came out, but I'm not sure.

However, I AM sure that I paid $60 for a brand new import Capcom Vs. SNK 2 for the Dreamcast. Hey, it was cheaper than buying a PS2...

[Revolt]

$80 for the import version of Tekken 3 :oops:

[bargora]

Radiant Silvergun. $165.

I just say to myself, hey, I got a Saturn and RS for $215!

[Charlesaway]

With the exchange rate and shipping, I paid $105.00 CDN for Qb: Limited Edition from Andrew Davie. It was a present for myself and my wife, and we choose #27 (for our anniversary, February 7) as the number. Next most expensive is pretty cheap. I think, 35.00 + tax for Sled Storm PSX.

[chazbeenhad]

Where are the neogeo collectors ??? :-)

I was paying 200-250 per game for the neogeo back in 92 ....

Ah........... life before a wife and children.........

><looks into DPs magic 8-ball deeply>

D'oh! I meant 33 cents. I bought 9 games for 3 bucks, with carry case (that was free, heh heh). I thought he meant 3 bucks each, but then he said, no, take em all for 3 bucks.

Yep. it was a good day. My first proto too.

-Rob

[Tetsu]

$80 for Radiant Silvergun, which is a bargain, actually, and well worth every penny.

[Iron Monkey]

Once Iron Monkey Pays 72000 YEN for game Laseractive of Camera photos to Women!

This is very much "MOOLA" as American Says!

HAAAAAAAAI!

[Sulaco22]

$60 for Rampage for the NES, right when it came out and beat it the same day I got it.

Also $70 Final Fight for SNES

[le geek]

$550 for Quadrun and Crazy Climber both with instruction manuals...

whew!
le geek

[Buyatari]

Ok Joe lets hear it.

You promised.....


Adam

[Tritoch]

$79.99 plus tax for Chrono Trigger at TRU. I lived in a rural part of NC at the time with very few game shops around, and couldn't resist the game any longer. How I long for the days when my only bill was a $92 a month car payment, even if I was barely making over minimum wage after school.

Interestingly enough (to me anyway), I didn't really know what I was getting. It was my first RPG, but I was convinced to buy it by Flea Market Guy (who gave me a little info about RPGs when I asked why some of his SNES games were so much more expensive) and the awesome CT ads. When I first started playing, I sat there a minute before realizing that *I* had to advance the dialogue further. :lol:

It made me 30 some cents short when I bought gas on the way home that fateful night, but luckily the guy was kind enough to let me come back and pay it the next day (which I'm proud to say I did). It also kicked off a craving for good RPGs that will probably never be quenched.

[Keir]

I'll share my answer later. For now, it's up to you!

still waiting...........

[buttasuperb]

265 for Samurai Spirits 4 homecart

This game rocks.

:rocker:

[Charlie]

$500 for a grey NWC. Or $1,500 (counting all the repairs I had to do) for a cockpit Discs of Tron coinop. Pick your poison.

[Oobgarm]

$185 for Guitar Freaks with Konami Guitar, which was also complete.

[y-bot]

$190 for Odyssey 2 Power Lords off ebay the other day because I am tired of losing out on auctions for this game and anything else good that I find on ebay lately. Hopefully it's nice so I won't feel too bad about paying so much for this game.

Y-bot

[dreamcaster]

I paid about $110 (Australian dollars) for Top Gear Rally 2 (brand new) for my N64. That's about $55 US dollars.

Our games aren't usually that expensive, but this was just after the GST (Goods & Services Tax) was introduced in Australia. Third-party video games were hurt the most.

[Retsudo]

i pain $80 for tekken 3 import @_@

[Retsudo]

i paid $80 for tekken 3 import @_@

[Mr-E_MaN]

I would have to say Zelda Ocarina of time for N64. I don't remember how much it costed but its probably up there with the other N64 games.

[nesuser2]

the most i ever paid is when i was burning paper route money on N64, so 59.99, and the most i've ever sold one game for was 160 for kung Fu and roughly 200 for excitebike, that excitebike was my baby :(

[Bighab]

The most I ever paid for a game was $140US for a mint Panzer Dragoon Saga. The most I ever paid for a game and still want to slit my throat is $130Canadian for Hexen64 >:( I also took a $15 cab ride across town to the only store that had it in stock. Ya I am a clown LOL

[Achika]

$250 for Space Channel 5 Part 2 LE. So it was more for the accessories than the game, but well worth it.

[orrimarrko]

I paid $700 for my NEO GEO MVS 6 slot dedicated machine, and $92 for a MINT Metal Slug X U.S. kit.

For home systems - $51.00 for a sealed Maxi-15, and $49.99 for any number of other games.

[EnemyZero]

Hmmm....I'd say $75 for Shinning Force 3 still with the case and instructions in perfect condition

[Time]

$250 and a tank of gas for my MR Do! upright arcade game. There's no substitute for the original!!!!

[digitalpress]

67 posts later and I finally get around to answering.

I asked this question because I had just paid $250 for a boxed Atari 2600 "Lochjaw". You may have expected that I've paid much more for some of the other things in my collection, like the boxed "Malagai", boxed "Video Life" - both of which would go for well over a grand if I were to sell - or the piles of prototypes I've amassed over the years, but you'd be wrong. Fortunately I've stumbled into lots of great stuff mainly from just being in the right place before everyone else or being terribly persistent with owners (you know who you are).

So that's it for me, $250 for a boxed Atari 2600 "Lochjaw". Closest to that would be $200 for a boxed Intellivision Congo Bongo.

[orrimarrko]

I feel so unsatisfied...

[Ascending Wordsmith]

I just forked over $220.00 for the Sega Saturn and PC Engine Duo versions of Steam Heart's.

[Ascending Wordsmith]

So that's it for me, $250 for a boxed Atari 2600 "Lochjaw". Closest to that would be $200 for a boxed Intellivision Congo Bongo.

I was expecting a whole four digit sum from you, Joe. $250 is your maximum? I... I just feel so... used. LOL

[Darth Vader]

$355 for a complete bubble bath babes (brand new, never used)

BTW, if I could find a NWC gold cart, 4K would probably be a deal right now. Last summer one was on ebay and hit almost 7K and the RESERVE WAS NOT MET! I don't know, but if I see one, I WILL buy it!!

Time to update! :P
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8136121512&fromMakeTrack=true

Also, I spent $60 on Twinkle Star Sprites (Saturn) so that's my new highest amount.

[max 330 mega]

i spent $250 on a complete copy of sonic wings 3 MVS.

[pixelsnpolygons]

$130 for Turok on N64 - but that was Australian dollars.

[Howie6925]

I paid $81 for RPG maker 2 new is the most i paid for a game.

[Time]

$600 for a millipede cocktail arcade game.


Don't ask about my pinball machine. @_@

[tritium]

I paid $80 after shipping for the Ayanami Evangelion game[DC]. I'm not a big spender for single games, but I like to buy lots of them. =)

-Tritium

[SegaAges]

I buy games new every once in awhile when I want them bad.

I have paid 60-70 for new n64 games when they came out.

other than that, around 50 for some new next gens.

[klausien]

$130 for Radiant Silvergun and $110 for PCE Dracula X. Cliche.

I have definitely gotten my money's worth though. ZERO regrets.

[anagrama]

I recently more than doubled my previous most expensive game by paying £100 (~$185) for Les Schtoumpfs Autour du Monde (Master System).

[Mr.Faxanadu]

around $80 for a sealed copy of Faxanadu for the NES ( I was willing to spend a couple of hundred to get it !!! :-P )

[evilmess]

$100.00 for a complete Panzer Dragoon Saga and $78 for a complete SNES Metal Warriors and $67.50 for Space Channel 5 Part 2 (not LE) to give to my daughter for x-mas . Those are my biggest purchases outside of the occassional $50 new game purchase.

[Dr. Morbis]

I paid $150 US for a sealed Caltron 6 in 1 a long time ago. I also paid about the same amount for a big-box Gyromite that was bundled with a boxed ROB. Then, before I even got it in the mail, I found a big-box Gyromite in the wild like 2 days later! I sold the extra one though. I also paid $55 US for a sealed Cheetahmen II like 4 years ago. Other than that, I think most of my stuff has been below the $50 mark.

[DigitalSpace]

$30 for a used and complete copy of The Sims for PS2, a few months after it came out. I was addicted to the game for about a month and a half. I see used copies going for $10 all the time now, and I still don't regret paying that much.

I'll probably break the record when GTA: San Andreas comes out, though.

[Promophile]

Highest I've every proxy bidded is 260 for a Earthbound Poster (impossible to find, believe me).

[Brian_Provinciano]

Well, I've paid a lot for some games and hardware in recent years, but relative to my income at the time, the most I paid was $90 for DOOM for the SNES back when it was new. That was waaaay too much, haha.

[spider-man]

I most I spent was 100 dollars for panzer dragoon saga on ebay. The second most will be Growlanser: generations deluxe pack - 90 dollars (if it ever comes out LOL )

[leorange]

$89 for a brand new virtual boy space invaders

runner up is $80 for a complete 2600 halloween

[Sibs]

The most I ever payed for a game was $60 for a brand new Super Mario RPG for the SNES shortly after it came out.


I paid $81 for RPG maker 2 new is the most i paid for a game. Wow, I got RPG Maker 2 three days after it came out and I only payed $39.99 for it. :o

[Richter]

$75 for a mint Shining Force III: Scenario 2

[Perkar]

$67 shipped for this beauty. i've been watching these on ebay for over a year, and i think i waited it out for the right auction. the manual is slightly water damaged, but the disk is FLAWLESS. looks brand new...

http://spaceballsthewebsite.com/perkar/sonicadventurele.jpg

[-hellvin-]

Nice Sonic LE....my friend Nez found the cd for 4 bucks then he put in a product request for shenmue limited edition at a nearby gamestore and the guy got in sonic LE and called him accidentally and he bought the case for 7 dollars, lol. Lucky bastard.

Anyhow....today I shall reach the highest I have ever paid for a game:

Buster Douglas - Sega Master System $90

Pretty damn high, but it will be mint, complete and I don't want to hunt it down.

[Nez]

Panzer Dragoon Saga paid 180 for it.

BUT! It also come with Gaudian Heros, D, Lunacy, Brain Dead 13, Ledgend of Oasis, Myst, Shining the Holy Arc and a Sega Saturn. Phew.

But I was mainly going for SAGA.

[Sanriostar]

The most I've sunk down for one item is a tie: $50 for Namco Museum 4 for PS and 2600 Demolition Herby loose at 2001 CGE Auction.

The single largest chunk of change I've ever laid down was $300+ for 4-5 cases of various SW'ed Classic (pre-crash) games.

[pr8cjb]

£75 (~$135) for the PAL Samurai Shodown for the Mega-CD, including shipping from Germany to the UK. HIghest proxy bid was £151 (~$270) for Syndicate on the same. And yes, it went for the next increment up - I was at work when the auction ended :angry:

[racecar]

not counting arcade cab/games, and some misc ebay bids
new games are usually the most expensive( snes ) when they came out i spend $60-$75 one them when they first came out

[dracula]

Up until now about 70 bucks for various 64 games. in a few days though im going to plop out $200 for Steel Battalion.

www.gamestop.com has it for $190 with free ship and no tax, and fry's has it on outpost.com for $180 plus tax and shipping, if you see it in a frys b&m then it would be $180 plus tax there.

[Black_Tiger]

I can't remember exactly how they broke down, but my first two arcade games came to $1300 & something.

I think that SFIICE and Black Tiger(cocktail) were probably $600 CAD each.

[PapaStu]

Well I lost out on a 10,000,000 Playstation unit at $1,300 a short while back. I would have bid higher, but I was sniped with 6 seconds left. I live.

But for an individual game, 200 For Steel Battalion when it released, the 300 that I dumped on my Xbox and PS2's. My highest game auction was for Lunar SSSC: Fan Edition which went for 85 shipped,

Ive tripped out in regards to what ive spent on some of my games (be it the retail price or whatever) but what it comes down to in the end is as long as i'm happy with the game, then I can really have no complaints.

[Nick]

I would have to say the most I have paid for a game thus far would be $58 Shipped for a MINT copy of Guardian Heroes (Saturn). With out question, the best $58 I've ever spent. :D

[link1110]

$90 for Final Fantasy 5 SFC August 1996, was my favorite game for the longest time, and still my favorite FF and is in my top 10 favorites of all time.

[kevincure]

I paid 70 for DBGT a couple years ago, but I've never spent near that for any of the PSX or DC games in my collection, even though I've picked up most of the rarities and expensive titles at some point. Even expensive PSX games can be had cheap with some patience - Silverload for 10, Fox Hunt for 10, Suikoden II for 20, Valkyrie for 15, DDR Disney for 30, etc.

[DigitalSpace]

$30 for a used and complete copy of The Sims for PS2, a few months after it came out. I was addicted to the game for about a month and a half. I see used copies going for $10 all the time now, and I still don't regret paying that much.

I'll probably break the record when GTA: San Andreas comes out, though.

And I did.

New record: $49.99 for a new copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Here's hoping it'll be worth every penny, like The Sims.

[Lord Contaminous]

King of Fighters 2001 (Neo Geo) -129.00.

But, one of these days I will break that record.

I don't know when it'll happen, but someday I WILL be ready to score a master copy of Dracula X: Rondo of Blood for PC Engine CD. And that's it. No more three digit price tag games.

[briguy578]

The most I have ever paid for one game was 72.00 for Chase the Chuckwagon. Incidentally, I'm going to be listing it on ebay shortly, due to my extreme lack of finacial funds :/

[mb7241]

The most for me? $51 shipped for a complete Final Fantasy II (SNES). Behind that, $50 for a sharply-scratched disc-only original Dragon Ball GT Final Bout (PS1) (resold for $80). Then, Dragon Warrior IV (NES), cartridge only, $40 shipped. As for systems, the most I've ever paid for a system is...well...I dunno... I can recall dropping $40 on a model 1 NES with 22 games (and 3 SNES games...don't ask how those got thrown in there), $46 on a Philips CDi 615, and $30 on a Turbo-Grafx 16 & CD expansion setup (with the carrying case for the whole thing). Probably the worst, though, was when I traded my Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (PS1) box set for a Japanese PS1 and Golden Sun: The Lost Age (GBA, cart only)...

[greedostick]

lets see...

$165 for a english magical chase shipped from europe with minty manual

$200 for english dynastic hero

2 of the best purchases i ever made.

$600 for darius alpha (sold shortly after because it sucked so bad)

$120 for minty last blade jp 1 homecart

[Jive3D]

$200 @_@ (and change) Radiant Silvergun.

Worth it. 8-)

[charitycasegreg]

26 bucks for my nes Megaman mint/complete, everyhting it originally came with. :D I dont buy expensive games usually unless I really want it.

[suppafly]

70 US for a strider for genesis when it came out.....it was worth every dollar :)

[Fuyukaze]

80$ for Arc the Lad colection when it was released. I still consider it more expensive then it was worth, but as I got the watch with it as well as the JSRF soundtrack, it came out nice.

[jhd7]

$400 for a gray NWC1990 (NES). Even tho it was well worth it, I still had the shakes when making out the money order.

[tritium]

.Hack

Bastards made one game and split it into 4 parts. I played the first three paid $150, until I realized I was paying $150 for 3/4 of an game that should be rated a 7. Bastards.

Interesting story, but it shoulda been $50, or $70 tops

Sold my PS2 after that... DCEmulation told me that God kills kittens for Sony....

-Tritium

[imanerd0011]

Jeff d, that is a sweet as deal ! I would have paid almost twice that for it if it was in mint shape.

[GamblinMonkey]

Steel Battalion, brand new. 'nuff said.

[drdrew1469]

[Barbarianoutkast85]

$49.99 for new games for the PS1 and PS2 but on "older" games....I think 20 bucks on a genesis game but i dont recall what it was.

[jasonegitto]

I think the most I have ever paid was something around $50. It was a new game, I think it was Final Fantasy VII. Every other game I own was either old/pre-played or bought for me by someone else.

[umich]

$400 for a complete bubble bath babes

other $$$'s include $300 x-man (r10,$400), $200 calton 6 in 1 complete (r8, $175) and steel battaltion $200

[Biohazard]

[MattG/Snyper2099]

Dropped $300 on a flawless Quadrun a few years back.
Paid $200 for a complete 2600 Stronghold this past year.
Paid $200 for a 2600 Color Bar Generator w/instructions (that was a steal!).
Spent $188 on a 2600 River Patrol very recently (another bargain).
Other than that, all I can think of are a bunch of MVS neo geo kits/games I spent anywhere between $100 and $200 each on.
Bought a 2600 Tapper prototype for $150 IIRC. That was the most expensive proto I ever bought.

[Dimitri]

Paid $70 for a loose Chrono Trigger when I noticed it had dropped from $90 at Funcoland...came back a week later and saw another copy for $50, then a month later I saw two for $30 each. :frustrated: I was such a newb back then.

[robotriot]

My top 5 most expensive games so far:

1. Steel Battalion LOC - 130€
2. Great Giana Sisters - 90€
3. Animal Crossing - 59,99€
4. Hybris - 58,13€
5. Fable - 54,99€

I guess I have too much money oO

[nesmaster102]

bubble bobble 2 $70 cdn (complete)
maxi 15 $45 cdn (cart only)

[fennec fox]

At the last CGE I bought Dino Park Tycoon (3DO) for around $200.

I am by no means a 3do collector, but I bought this one for two reasons: (a) I had just gotten a lot of spending money out of the CGE auctions, and (b) Joe swore to me up and down that it's a valuable game. I can't wait until it's 2010 and I can sell it back to Joe for $1000 or something. LOL

[Grim_Reaper_Bostock]

$130 CND for a complete Final Fantasy II. I know it was overpriced, but I really wanted the game!

[Wily]

I guess my most expensive game was Metal Slug 3 JAP homecart short after release for about 500 EUR.

Nowadays I´ll never spend such a large amount of money again for one single game - word!

[vulcanjedi]

Greetings

My most expensive game was bought retail back in 1988

The release price of $79.99 was just way too much so I had to wait till it went on sale. Finally I found a store that was having a sale with all games like 20% off and since the price had came down a little It was $57.99 plus 6% tax. That was after driving 20 miles from my house too!

Know what game I am talking about? Maybe a hint, Master System :)



Yes, till this day I have never paid more that I did for Phantasy Star 1. Most games I buy used. Exception was Tron 2.0 xbox but that was only 40. and the last time I paid 50 for a game in a store was REZ for PS2.
The most I have spent on eBay for a game was $38 total for a new saturn Power Drift .

:)

[studvicious]

I remember buying Mortal Kombat 3 for the SNES shortly after it came out for $80

[Cmosfm]

I just topped of mine the other day, I spent 120.00 on a sealed gold Legend Of Zelda for NES.

I don't plan to beat that for a while. LOL

[GobopopRevisited]

$54.99 for Halo 2: LCE. Thats right, I'm not crazy ;)

[NintendoMan]

I paid $70 for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the day it came out. As far as older (than 1990) games go, I paid $15 for Super Dodge Ball for NES.

Why did you have to pay so much? I got mine the same day as you and was only $50.

[NintendoMan]

I just topped of mine the other day, I spent 120.00 on a sealed gold Legend Of Zelda for NES.

I don't plan to beat that for a while. LOL

HELL of a deal!! Where did you get it from? Ebay? Doubt you got it from there, would have gone for 3 times that. Anywho, great find!
Is it in good condtiion?

Got it from a fellow that posts here and on CAG, it's actually near mint, just some very tiny natural blemishes. Finding one any better condition would be hard as hell.

We were both happy with the deal, so it was all good. :D

[Ninja Blacksox]

I bought "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when it first came out.

I think it was $70.

That's it.

Interesting.

This is the one boxed NES game I have. It's not sealed and it is a bit beat up. Wait I am confusing Zelda 1 and 2 I think. I do know it's the original box and not the re release box.

Is there a zelda list/price list somewhere?

Thanks
VJ

[Socheata]

I payed $76 for Clayfighter 63 1/3. :embarrassed:

[Laharl]

My most expensive game would probally be arc the lad collection

[MacNes]

I spent 90 on a loose Mr. Gimmick. Well worth it.

[Big Papa Husker]

I paid $64.99 for a Complete Chrono Trigger (SNES) at Gamestop in 2001. The most I spent recently was $56 on a complete Suikoden II. :|

[GLASSJOE]

Final fantasy xi with hdd about $75.00

[cr0n0]

I once spent 275 bucks on a new Samurai Showdown 2 cart for the NEO GEO. The messed up part was that it was on SALE. I never bothered to ask for the original price since I was afraid I might pee in my pants.

[EricRyan34]

$65 for Resident Evil 4 Collectors Package

[tuxedojoe]

I payed around 65 USD for a sealed copy of Shenmue II (PAL). I got ripped, but I absolutely LOVE the game!

[briskbc]

I paid $96 (Canadian) for Lunar Silver Star Story Complete when it first came out. At the time that would have been about $65 US. I picked it up at a small game shop on my honeymoon. I didn't mind spending the money. It was wedding gift money anyway.

[DaveD]

Viewpoint for Neo-Geo. $225 back in 1996. It was considered "rare" back then. Then I saw what they did graphically on PS1 and couldn't believe it!
@_@

[Xexyz]

$49.99 is the most I've ever spent on a single game, thing is I know I've bought more than one. Only one comes to me though, Streets of Rage 3 for the Genesis back in 95.

[ronandjennifer]

-_- I paid ~ $130 for KOF 95 for the AES. Then found the link to Neogeo.com and found that it was much cheaper to buy from them than Ebay. Live and learn!!

[adams_ale]

Paid 170$ for a boxed/complete Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the 2600. I'm willing to spend much more for Halloween boxed should I get the chance.

[adams_ale]

Paid 180 with shipping for a boxed/complete Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the 2600. Would pay much more for a boxed Halloween. :love:

[dracula]

i recently payed $160 shipped for this

http://www.futura-online.com/e-tienda/catalog/images/bio5th2.jpg

it is the resident evil 5th anniversary collection, dunno if it is worth it, or what it retailed for new, but it is a nice collection piece.

and i payed $105 shipped for a very good/complete copy of chi no rondo (dracula x) for the pc engine

that was a bit much as well, but i got sick of trying to get it off of yahoo japan

[junglehunter]

$100 CND for a mint copy of Guardian Heroes (Saturn). Next highest priced would have to be when I paid $86.50 CND for Earthworm Jim (SNES) when it was first released.

[Iron Draggon]

DAMN! That Resident Evil collection is SWEET! Now all you need is the chainsaw controller! :devilish:

[cessnaace]

:-P The most I ever paid for a factory sealed game: ATARI KARTS for the Jaguar: $80.

The most I have ever paid for an opened game: $35 for a near mint copy of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND for the NES (I know it sucks), complete with box, instructions, and all insterts (on Ebay).

[Steven]

$98 on a Saturn beat em up import called CROWS.

I never have paid over 100 bucks for any game, and never will. Crows really taxed me however, but I just barely beat the century mark =D

[Falcon]

I payed $80 CANADIAN for Klonoa 2 when it first came out, and I also payed $80 for SOCOM (with headset) when it came out. Actually my parents payed for it at that time since they were both presents.

[EnemyZero]

$70 for a complete copy of shining force 3

[Zoe F]

I paid somewhere around $70 for a copy of Cheetahmen II on the NES.

[allsport11]

$60 for Magic Knight Rayearth for the Saturn on the day of release.

[dbiersdorf]

For me probably something like $49.99, I buy games at full price a lot, I'm not like all you cheap bastards. :P I suppose Pokemon Stadium 2 would also be up there, as it retailed at around $69.99 if I'm not mistaken. Of course I bought it, I love Pokemon too much to not support it.

[Jumpman Jr.]

60 bucks for Congo Bongo for Intellivision.
that if you don't count acrades though

next would probably be either a mint boxed copy of Waterworld on the Virtual boy for something like 40 bucks.

[ig88vsbobafett]

$69.99 for NFL QB Club for the N64

[Iron Draggon]

OK now that it's safely arrived in the mail today, and I'm actually holding it in my hands, I can finally say it: $300 for a factory sealed Hyper Duel for Saturn!

:D

Now if I could just save up the $500 for a factory sealed Radiant Silvergun...

@_@

[SuperNES]

new games: halo 2 limited edition preordered-$55
Old games: i dunno, like 10 bucks for a dreamcast game-$10

$125 for a Sit-down Nintendo Vs. arcade machine
$150 for a CIB Odyssey 2 Power Lords!
$350 for a near mint Neo Geo MVS 4-Slot
$6xx for a Super Mario Bros. Pinball Machine

[Ulticron]

If memory serves me correct it was Breath of Fire on the SNES back in the late SNES days. After tax I think it came to $78.37, I may have paid that much for Mega Man X3 as well. It seemed really expensive back then, but I don't regret it today.

[StealthLurker]

Hmmm... Before collecting JAMMA arcade boards got super popular I remember forking $1000+ for a CPS2 SF Zero 2 A+B board kit.

As for home game collectiong the games that tend to yank the most bucks out of the ol' wallet are the neo-geo aes carts. The more expensive carts range from $600-$1000+

For more traditional home games I think it topped at $120 for a pc-engine SCD of Dracula X.

Well, I paid $150 US for brand new factory sealed Hyper Duel for Sega Saturn, $150 US for mint and complete Battle Mania 2 and Slap Fight for Mega Drive, $100 US for mint and complete Pengo also for Mega Drive, but the one that really cost the most for me is mint and complete Snow Bros for Mega Drive...I paid over $300 US for that one.

[lurpak]

dunno, I have paid around $180 for a few games now
infact won one at about that for clay pigeon Brazil Odyssey2 in the early hours of this morning.

[Psyleid]

I also paid around $70.00 for Nobunaga's Ambition for the NES when it came to the U.S. Brrr......

[Biff_McFresh]

Blast Corps for around 75 if I remember correctly.

[sportbettor]

Home system- $400 for sapphire
Arcade- $700 for Street Fighter Championship Edition back when it was the current Street Fighter Game.

[legov8]

I think it was $50.00, but I forgot what the game was.

[GamerNerd]

Well I use to spend $50 everytime a new game comes out, but after when I had my eyes on Midway Arcade Treasures 1 & 2, Sega Classics Collection, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy! & Atari Anthology in a 2-year period, I spend $20 no more, no less.

[EricB]

ive paid $75 for a NIB elevator action prototype for the atari 2600 :) Eric

[snes_collector]

hmmm, probably 50$ for various titles.

[Speedy_NES]

The most I've ever paid for a game/cartridge was 157$ for a 500-in-1 Famicom multicart around 7 years ago...back then they were very rare in the US and sold for high prices on eBay...I was 13 back then and remember convincing my parents that this cart is very rare and worth the money...man, was I wrong...now they sell for 3-15 euros here in Europe....oh well, people make mistakes, especially at a young age ;)

-Speedy

P.S. to make matters worse, this particular 500-in-1 only contains 6 very common games! :(

[Bronty-2]

$1000+ on certain nes games. Not sure if I should be happy or sad.

Game wise, I just spent $415 on a mint/complete Sapphire.


Gaming related wise, $1500 for the Hitachi Navi GPS HiSaturn.

[Gamereviewgod]

The last Geo game, my favorite fighting games series: worthwile.

[Alucard]

the most I think I've spent is around 40-50 bucks. I can't really remember if I've ever spent more. I probably have but don't remember at the moment.

[fomoco&co]

worst investment was the Sega CD for i think 299 the day it cam out (they even got me to buy an extended service :hmm: )

and of couse all the neo carts I've paid more than 200.oo to 800.oo for ( home carts of course) and I'll do it again I tell ya..

[chimp69]

very curious

[Hiryu]

[quote="fomoco&co"]worst investment was the Sega CD for i think 299 the day it cam out (they even got me to buy an extended service :hmm: )

Ach..Yea I paid about $375 after tax for mine when it came out.
:(

I guess as far as older stuff repurchased, it would be my complete w/box map and booklet of Final Fantasy for the NES. $40.00 the book,map and box are not in great shape either. But I spose it could be worse. Seen it go for a lot more on Ebay.

[Zilla]

I've never gone over 60 bucks for a game and never over 200 for a console.

[MrRoboto19XX]

$60 For Shenmue II Sealed for DC.

Worth every penny just to see it on my shelf.

[sirhansirhan]

Mere minutes ago, I paid $95.75 for a complete copy of the U.S. version of Keio Flying Squadron on Sega CD. It hasn't come yet (I just won the auction less than an hour ago), but I'd been wanting that game forever and it has been more typically going for $130-140 on eBay lately, so woohoo.

[walrusmonger]

single game would be radiant silvergun at $150 before shipping.

but, it'd really be Dracula X: Rondo of Blood @ $135+ $200 for the system to play it on.


Then you have the other expensive saturn games I've paid for, funny thing is that I got my copy of Steel Battalion for less than my copy of Radiant Silvergun.

[Grobyc]

Most I ever spent was Half Life 2 Collectors Edition. $60. Not that much i know

[Jumpman Jr.]

Just broke my record again.

$225 for a loose copy of the Donkey Kong Competition Cartridge for the SNES. Now I've got the two grails for the SNES... the rest of the library should be a walk in the park. 8-)

[Yamazaki]

600$ on Ninja Master's AES.

followed by:
RotD - 350$
Magical Drop 3 - 350 $
Metal Slug 3 - 300$

[Saabmeister]

$60 shipped for a PAL copy of Shenmue II.

[VG_Maniac]

$70 for Chrono Trigger at a used video game store back in 1998. Last year, I bought Mega Man X3 with the box at another used gaming store for $60.

[namzep]

Most I've ever paid was $85 or so for Goldeneye (found it at some local video rental place that was way over-priced but it was the only store that had the game then). Since I started collecting again (earlier this year) I haven't paid more than $30 for a game (and that was only once for Super Smash Bros. Melee because I really wanted it).

[zerohero]

$60 for Ogre battle.... after I beat it I sold it back in High School. Stupid Me :-/

[mario2butts]

New games:

Steel Battalion $150
Zelda Ocarina of Time $60 (bought at launch after winning $100 from "lucky locker," a lottery based on our locker numbers, in middle school LOL woth every penny)

[Emuaust]

$170AU for virtua racing on the Mega drive when it first came out here in Australia.

[christhegamer]

I recently bought Tengen Tetris (NES) for $30.00 :(

[Tanis178]

i spent about 80 bucks or so for shining force neo with the guide, worth every penny

[cyberfluxor]

#1 is Diablo 2 for the PC when it first came out for $55. I think it was worth it for all the hours I spent on it, but I just hope it's not true that Diablo 2 is a MMORPG costing $15 a month like WoW.

#2 goes to Guildwars ($50), which I bought a week after release and haven't spent more than 40hrs on, but I feel I might get back "into" it over winter break.

#3 for the win is House of the Dead 2 for the Dreamcast. It's a odd placement because I spent $13 on it at Gamestop but paid an additional $24 for 2 guns and $4 for 2 rumble packs. It's the only shooter I have for the Dreamcast so I claim it to be a "bundle" of $41.

#4 is Gamecube's very fine Worms 3D for $35 new after it came out. God I love the Worms! games!!

#5 has to be another new Gamecube title: Serious Sam - The Second Encounter! $30 baby!

Everything else is under $20 because I'm cheep and love to save money buying used games that CAN work as good as new.

[Booskar]

I paid $90 fo a Basic Math CIB for the Atari 2600 in the first issue gatefold style box. Ironically I paid considerably less than half that for the much rarer Sears version, also complete in gatefold box

[The_Kodiak65]

I think the most ive every paid for 1 game would be....$41
$40 for Lunar 2: eternal Blue, and i paid a dollar for the maunal from elsewhere....other than that, i dont think i have ever speant more than $30 on a game, i just go out to yard sales, flea markets, and game stores hopeing for a find....

[johno590]

I think the most I ever spent was about 25 dollars for a copy of Final Fight Guy.

[DTJAAAAMJSLM]

$258 for Japanese version of Rage Of The Dragons on the Neo-Geo AES.

[Tan]

couldn't give an exact amount but at most $70 i'm sure

[MattG/Snyper2099]

Dropped $300 on a flawless Quadrun a few years back.
Paid $200 for a complete 2600 Stronghold this past year.
Paid $200 for a 2600 Color Bar Generator w/instructions (that was a steal!).
Spent $188 on a 2600 River Patrol very recently (another bargain).
Other than that, all I can think of are a bunch of MVS neo geo kits/games I spent anywhere between $100 and $200 each on.
Bought a 2600 Tapper prototype for $150 IIRC. That was the most expensive proto I ever bought.
I've surpassed this with the purchase of gauntlet for the 2600 as well as an unreleased prototype. Let's just say it was more than $1000 for both.

[funksoulfather]

$110 Cad for Super Metroid the day it came out. No regrets whatsoever.

[BrokenFlight]

£45 for Tomb Raider 3 back when it was new. I never got past the first level then traded it in a few years later for £3.

[GiantPooka]

Only two games really spring to mind:

£120 for a copy of Radiant Silvergun- box, manual, spine card, etc.

£100 for a boxed MVS copy of Metal Slug 3- the cardboard box, instruction sheet, sticker, poster, etc.

[dj_spryte]

I dished out $510 for a factory sealed and minty fresh Chrono Trigger. I've never seen a copy so crisp. I laminated it so that the condition is maintained for a hundred more years.

[RegSNES]

$80 for a new copy of Killer Instinct Gold back in '96. I know the game gets hated on a lot but I really enjoyed it. Still have it to this day.

While not as much, I did fork over $40 for Mega Man 7 and Mega Man X3 (SNES ver.) Man, many of you have me beat. X_x

[Psycho Penguin]

FF11 w/hard drive for PS2- 99.99 plus tax

Enjoyed the game, though, so it was worth it. :)

[WhiteHenDecapitator]

I paid $45 for a loose Tengen Tetris for NES, well worth it!

I guess it helped too with $2000 cash in my pocket, but that is beside the point!

Thanks.

[MarioMania]

$38 for Mega Man X2 Cart only on Amazon

[Jumpman Jr.]
