Mega Man the Wily Wars is not a US release unless you count repros.... or if you have a Tardis and can go back in time when Sega Channel was around.

Fair enough. I just listed all the games down to $30 found on VGPC. I don't think he means the 32X games either. Still, it doesn't take too much effort to find out in what regions the games were released, or even what their current sale price on eBay is. Consider the above "for informational purposes only". :)

I wouldnt say MUSHA is worth the money, but playing it the other day and its pretty fun. Knuckles I wish had more enemies in it, its the most beautiful Genesis game Id say, cause of the 32X enhancement. Is that Punisher game a port of the arcade game? Thats a pretty well feeling beatem up.

Ugh, I sold my copy of Musha like 7 years ago for about 25 bucks, which I thought was awesome. I'm kicking myself now that I want it again :(

I know the feeling,the u.s version of musha really has shot up in price.Still the japanese version can had for less but it's a little pricey still.

9 years ago when I was playing Yu Gi Oh and hung out at this card/comic and game store, I traded with a dude, and I got this card I didnt think was rare, well this dude who knew it was worth $800 by the official Yu Gi Oh magazine traded me for it, the week after that I found out. He wouldnt trade it back. He didnt care about voting or doing jury duty or anything, what a fucking waste of life. He was fat and ugly too, bet hes still a virgin.

I bet he wasnt able to sell it though. $800 really? It was just in one of those bonus packs with 7 other cards.

Miracle Piano Teaching System is one of the most expensive Genesis games for sure ($300+?).

Wasn't there a workout cart and people were debating if it was real or not?

You can name games without listing prices. Only fans the flames of greedy ebayers.

Well, nearly half of the games he listed were not released in the US. And the prices captured by the worthless price charting site are from the countless reproduction sales.

Done.

Reproduction sales on ebay piss me off the most. I have to try to restrain myself when I see a repro which can be had for $20-$25 being sold for $75+. People are idiots.

And the sad thing is, back in the beginning of the '90s there was an electronic junk store where you could find old computers and weird odds and ends - and they had a small bin full of Action 52 carts, mainly for the NES but some for the Genesis. I didn't know anything about them, so I never bothered. I didn't have a working NES or a Genesis at the time. I wish I would have known.

Thank you, not many people agree with me on how VGPC is worthless.

It's great for comparing the relative worth of an item, i.e. obviously MUSHA is worth a lot more than Web of Fire. But I do want to direct you to what I said earlier: "Still, it doesn't take too much effort to find out in what regions the games were released, or even what their current sale price on eBay is."

Yeah, Outback Joey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXF5uNMY5A4

It definitely exists, it's kinda like Wii fit before motion control was everywhere. It's super rare, not sure what it sells for, but I'm guessing at least $500.

It depends on how you use it, you can just check the completed auctions to get a feel for values based on various conditions. I've seen some auctions for games posted for the wrong title, I won't just go by the price estimate listed for each game. For a quick look on value it's still somewhat useful, if the value is listed under $5 or over $20 you get a general feel for what has value and what doesn't.

I used to use the rarity guide here for values but it's completely outdated and useless now, VGPC is pretty great compared to that.

There are several Genesis games that go for $20 or more on ebay. Contra: Hard Corps and Castlevania instantly come to mind. While Genesis will probably never have a library valued like SNES for obvious and not so obvious reasons, prices are going up.

I'm really into Genesis now and want to get these big games out the way. Is there a way to play all region games?

Most genesis titles are region free for nstc release any ways.Still there are some that are locked such as alien soldier,golden axe 3,pulseman and mega man wily wars.There are a few ways around that,use a game genie and a code or have a region switch put in.
