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

    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!

    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 ; )

    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.

    ~$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.

    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.

    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...)

    Default it would be

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