Honestly, the most I've paid for a single game is the current generation, new-release price of $50. Even then, it's an exception: The current market is very favorable for the patient consumer, and I usually wait.

$79.99 for Chrono Trigger.
My local game store put it out on the shelves a week early.
it's not the most expensive, but it should have been. i paid $20 bucks for a complete copy of panzer dragoon saga. i got it with a bunch of other games from this guy i used to know.
selling an ipod mini. includes all papers and wires and stuff. message me if you are interested.
Well, in the past two weeks I've bought a complete, mint as hell Panzer Dragoon Saga for $141, an also complete, also mint as hell Dragon Force for $94, and a complete, not very mint Guardian Heroes for $75. Stupid Saturn, costing me a lot of money.Originally Posted by sirhansirhan
I've yet to pop in PDS, but I'm absolutely obsessed with Dragon Force--that game rules. Guardian Heroes is awesome, too, but it's more of a two player game, and I don't usually have a second player around.
Speaking of which, since I quoted my old record (now the second-most I've ever paid for a single game) at the top of this thread, and we just passed the one year anniversary of me making that purchase, I'm so glad I bought that Keio Flying Squadron when I did. It's such an awesome game, and I almost never see them for sale at all.

In my hometown of Belleville, NJ, there was a video game store/rental in the Grand Union shopping plaza on Main St., called Video Game Dynasty. Everything they sold was ridiculously overpriced. I bought some Atari stuff there, but rarely NES. My aunt, though, didn't know any better, and bought Metroid there for over 70 dollars (in 1988).

~$100 USD for Giana Sisters C64 tape.
$600 US for a factory sealed Chrono Trigger. Nothing I regret about that.
I dont want to spend too much on a single item. I however have bought several items ~50 euros. Like Ikaruga and a few others
Old School:
fifty bucks for Earthbound and I do not regret it
New School:
70 bucks for Guitar Hero 2 with Controller
The most for me would be $95 for a complete Suikoden 2 on ebay. I originally bought the game when it was first released, but it was stolen. So, since the Suikoden series is my favorite series of all time, I figured I had better find another copy and fast.
235 for Starfox Superweekend (SNES) :/
See my collection at http://www.interacti.net/SNES%20GAMES%20LIST.htm
$170 for
Dinopark Tycoon
3DO
$135 for a caltron 6-in-1 or $91 plus ship for a flintstones surprise at dino peak.
$75 for a new copy of Skyhammer for the Jaguar.
I personally never want to pay too much for commercial games. Patience is certainly the key to find good deals, even on Ebay.
However, the most I have ever spent (by far) was around $120 for Soldier Blade Special for the PC Engine.
Aside from games when they are new, I guess my biggest purchase was $60 for Dracula X on the Saturn. I'm going to outdo that soon, though, when I get Radiant Silvergun.
Knowledge is Power.
Power corrupts.
Study hard.
Be evil.
My top dollar spending for games are:
Radiant Silvergun $100
Magical Chase $165 (on ebay- I didn't even know I had won til 2 days later as this game was going for around $200 at the time)
Keio Flying Squadron $128 (my original snapped clean in half and I had to have this game no matter the cost!)
Used Game: $40 for Pirates on the NES
"New" Game: $50 for the unreleased Charles Barkley game for the Atari Jaguar
The equivalent of $250 US for a mint cart only MVS Samurai Shodown V Special. I only owned it for a little less than a year or so and got back pretty much what I put into it. So worth it to play in its pure form.
Hmm... I think the most I paid was US$130 for Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. And my PC-engine duo stopped working before it came in...
As far as new school stuff.... 59.99 for a new Growlanser Generations special. That I do regret, as the game is garbage.
I didnt even know Keio Flying Squadron was going for that much. I nabbed mine complete with a complete sega cd and a handfull of games for 50 bucks, kind of glad i found that auction!
Quest for the N64, on release day.
Well worth the $70+tax ... *cries*
$500.00 USD to have an IKARI III upright cab built from the ground up for me, sadly without the Bezel, but utilizing an original IKARI cab, but with the proper IKARI III marquee. I'm a gamer not a tech head and I had to search out the arcade vendor and more or less strong arm him to go sifting through his back warehouse to just find the PCB. The game doesn't mean much to most ppl, but IKARI III: The Rescue (arcade) is one of my all time BEU games, though P.O.W. did prove to be easier to control and no rotary joystick problems.
Old Skool- Retail - Mortal Kombat II SNES $80 or so on release.....I've bought much more expensive coin-ops and package deals, but I remember that single one (note: It was TOTALLY worth every cent...I played that game to death)
The most I payed for a game is when NES games were being liquidated and I bought Star Tropics and Star Tropics 2 for about $10 each.
