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

[Suikoman444]

I guess technically the Kingdoms of Amalur Signature Edition, that was $275. After that it was Panzer Dragoon Saga at $180.

[DeseoParadise]

I paid 250 euros for Monkey Island 2 for PC in mint condition

[GamerTheGreek]

For my 8 bit collection Ant Eater by Romox set me back 65.00 (61+4 shipping ). Everything else was 2.00 or less.

I really haven't ever spent much on a single game. My Millipede arcade cab set me back $250 but that has been the most expensive single thing by far. I don't think I have spent more than $20 on anything that wasn't a new release.

Around $45 (Final Fantasy II Used)

For arcade cabinets, I paid $1000 for my 4 player Sunset Riders, $500 each for Time Soldiers and a Centipede cabaret, $250 for a pristine Popeye, and $150 for my 1-slot MVS set up as a dedicated Metal Slug.

For console, I paid $400 for my limited edition Mother 3 box with the GB Micro and Franklin Badge, and $165 for Top Hunter on AES. A couple of other AES games hit a little over $100... Sengoku 2 & 3 both did, and I feel I overpaid for Radiant Silvergun at $150 on Saturn.

Popeye was awesome! I can't tell you how many quarters I dumped into that game. lol

It is fun. I ended up with it because my wife's uncle had a bit to drink at a charity auction, and then hus wife said no. I helped him get his money back and a little more, and I got a great cabinet. Mother's Day 2013, actually. Good times.

How is that even possible? Have you ever bought a new game in your life (the majority which are over $50)?

A local electronics store sells used DVD movies and video games. From time to time someone will drop in and sell older titles, some of which are hard to find around here. I love FF II. I don't regret paying the price I did. It had the box and manual also.

I think I paid $250 for a CIB Tails Adventure for Game Gear then sold my sealed one to the second highest bidder against me of my open copy for $360. I think I bought the sealed copy on here for $150 or $200. I forget. It pays to leave sealed games sealed then sell them for more to buy an already open copy and other games with the profit IMO. I think Crusader of Centy for Genesis might have been $200 cart only too. So that's probably my runner up. If I love a game so much that I take the time to 100% it even though it's long, I feel like I've gotta have it no matter what. Unless it's just some short game that's really rare and I feel like it's not worth the money for the experience I had. Example - Bonk's Adventure for NES? That's not a $450 experience to me, especially when it's just a downport of an $18 TurboGrafx-16 title.

Hagane, for a lot

Also surprised I skipped this thread back in the day. For a new game, maximum is probably just above $60, for maybe an N64 title or back in the 80's, NES games like Metroid or Zelda that were hard to find and being scalped! For a used game in my "collecting phase," I'm not sure but I've spent maybe 50 on some like N64 Conker or a few Saturn games. I can say with utmost certainly I've never paid more than $65 on ANY video game in my life. I just won't buy it if it's more than that.

[mailman187666]

I can't remember if I added to this thread back in the day or not, but I'll just go ahead and say that the highest I've paid was about $160 for Panzer Dragoon Saga, and around the same amount for Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition. I'd say 2 pretty good investments on my part.

I remember reluctantly paying a bit over $80 (each) for Shining Force II, Phantasy Star IV, and Crusader of Centy when Sega jacked up the prices for new Genesis games - to add insult to injury they came in those crappy cardboard boxes instead of the nice (durable) clamshell ones.

$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!

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