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

[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

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

[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
systems: Xbox: $200
free SNES with 26 games: priceless. :roll:

[tholly]

$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]

:P like 40... I'm not one to spend much money on a game that will go down in price in a few months.

[ssj4-tommy]

[sportbettor]

Home system- $400 for sapphire

[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.

[Gamereviewgod]

$350+ for Samurai Shodown 5 Special.

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]

I paid $114.00 for it . Snes.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Well, I broke my record today.

$185 on a Star Fox Competition cart for the SNES.
Big dent in the wallet.

[MrSmiley381]

I paid $106, including shipping, for my Jap KOF98 AES. I have no regrets.

[b0bby]

ey dp how much did you pay for your half life dreamcast proto???? :-P
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.
