I thought the game was decent. $250 decent? Absolutely not! Then again, the seller's a bit overpriced on more things of his than just that one. Just picked up a copy of Final Fantasy Collection (Japanese PS1) for $18.50 shipped the other day, and he's trying to push one for $100 + shipping...

Yeah I noticed there have been a lot of sellers recently that have been trying to charge about five times what the games are actually worth, if these guys had a PCE Dracula X or a complete Black cartridge Final Fantasy they'd probably push them for well over $1000. :/

Black cartridge Final Fantasy? Call me crazy ('cause I am :P ), but what is this that you speak of?

I agree, that's wayyyy too steep a price for an open copy of the game, mint condition or not. I mean, if it was sealed I could see the sealer justifiable trying to sell it for that amount. But 250 for an open copy?

In Japan when Final Fantasy was first released it came in a limited edition black cartridge which was replaced with a white one for all subsequent releases. A reletive of one of my friends apparently has six of them, all complete and at least three of them are sealed. I've never actually seen one outside the internet.

It looks like Simon is giving a middle finger to dracula on the instruction manual.

Dracula X for PC Engine has the same pose and yes it does look as if he might be but might not also be giving someone the finger.

bad game? That game is freakin sweet if you want a challenge and i like both versions since they are very different stage wise.

What's the point of showing the back seam if the game is open any way? The people who care about the back seam are the ones that collect sealed games, which this is not, so what's the point? Suck Ass!

Ummm, JP fami games were never sealed afaik. :hmm:

Anyway, SNES Dracula X is actually a very good game. People just get too caught up in the whole "Well it isn't the PCE version" argument. Forget that. The game rocks.

Well, someone bought it, and by the buyer's feedback I don't think it will be an NPB. Guess the seller isn't too crazy after all.
