I now own 14 japanese 32X games and I wondered how much the value is for the following games I can't find in mint condition:
NBA Jam T.E.
NFL Quarterback Club '95
WWF Raw
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV
I don't have any idea what I should pay for them as they are that rare, and I except them to be quite high. But if anyone can give me a indication what each game is worth you would help me a lot, as I want to get a complete collection.

Every Super 32x games seems to be rare... props on amassing such an impressive collection!
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV is the true high-dollar game of the lot. It's the sole Japan-only 32x release, and as such is valued by collectors trying for a "complete" collection of all the games. I've NEVER seen it on Ebay and only once on Yahoo auctions for Japan. A tatty but complete copy went for just over $200 a year or so ago.
I'd say the others aren't worth more than $20 as they were released in the States, but I'm no expert on Super 32x pricing. I don't know of anyone who is!
Good luck, and let us know when you have all of them!
:D

If the other titles sold anything like as poorly as Acclaim's Japanese MD games I'd expect them all to be substantially more than $20. ;)

I'm also afraid for that, and you could recently see that a different version can make a enormous gap in the price with Primal Rage Pal vs NTSC-U/C. And Acclaim games for Megadrive and also 32X were really bad promoted and are the most expensive games for the Japanese MD, you pay hunderds of $ for games like Judge Dread, Virtual Bart, True Lies and there are multiple more. Strange thing is that some games also included a Genesis Manual, and Spiderman vs Venom in Maximum Carnage and WWF Raw even came in european style lay-out boxes if I remember right (I don't know for sure as I don't have the money too collect all the Acclaim Japanese MD-games).
But 20$ won't make it, I think I have to be happy if I can fix one of those games for 200$.

Yeah, from what I've heard, Acclaim only released their MD games in Japan to fulfill their contactual obligations with Sega, and since Japanese gamers tended to shun western games back then they put minimal effort into promoting them, which explains both the cost-cutting boxes/manuals & their extreme rarity today.
Combine that with the fact that even the best 32X games did terribly in Japan, and the inherent collectability of such a small library and it's got all the ingredients for ridiculous prices. :/ Good luck!

I have failed miserably. $20 seems to be far too low according to my esteemed co-gamers. :embarrassed:
Let us know how the search goes! :D
I had no idea games that $1 crap Genesis games (in the States) could come packages with the same Genesis manuals for their Japanese release and that they are worth loads of cash. How very odd and facinating. Learn something new everyday.
:-P
