Which 2 out of these 4 games would be worth shelling out for?

[Urzu402]

Lunar Silver Star (Sega CD) 24
Lunar Eternal Blue (Sega CD) 36
Gunstar Heroes (Genesis) 20
Contra Hard Corps. (Genesis) 17

this shouldnt be a what is it worth thread because i'm not asking what they are worth because i know how much they are, just which ones would give me the most playing for my money.....

[Damaramu]

None of the above. Find yourself a copy of Shaq Fu quickly! The value of this game is going through the roof! Not only that, but it's got an engaging storyline and deep play mechanics that put all games released after it to shame.

What condition are they in?

What kind of games do you like to play?

Can you handle playing through a 40 hour RPG twice?

If those are all complete and in good shape the prices are fair. Do yourself a favor and get all 4.. It's that time of year ya know!

I would go for the Lunar games.

The other wo games can be easily gotten (somewhat) later on. The Lunar games usually fetch higher amounts, at least from what I've seen.

If the Lunar games are complete, you should have bought them already. If you don't like them, you can resell them for double the money. The other two games are awesome fun, but they're not as rare or worth as much. Good prices if they're complete, though. But it's easy to pick them up at that price.

gunstar and contra

the sega cd can play 'backups' and there are better versions of the lunar games on the PSX

[kupomogli]

I'd say that if you like the games Lunar and Lunar 2 are worth getting. Not a fan of Lunar myself but I'd pick them up. Gunstar Heroes is worth getting definitely.

Contra Hard Corps isn't worth getting. It's a decent game, but there are better.

[maxlords]

I'd say Gunstar and Contra for sure. The Lunars are great games but honestly, the PSX versions are WAY better. That being said, Gunstar Heroes IS available on compilations and DLable, so if you had to pick a Lunar....well....it's a toss up.

The Lunars are great games but honestly, the PSX versions are WAY better.

I personally would go for both Lunar Games. A lot of people seem to really like the PSX remakes but I thought they were horrible. They made too many changes, and not for the better IMO. I will always stick by the Sega CD originals.

Contra and Gunstar Heroes are great but should be easier to find again if you happen to pass them up. So I say go for the Lunar Games.

They're all good. It's obvious which way you should go depending on what you like to play, seeing as you have one set of games that are completely different from the other set.

It's time to be a big boy and make a decision without asking the Internet what it thinks. Good luck.

This makes me wonder if the value of this game will go up if Shaq dies anytime soon. Look how Moonwalker went through the roof when Michael Jackson died. I just wonder if anything could make that game worth more than the cost of the plastic its molded out of, and I think that Shaq's death might just do it. Now all we need to do is convince Shaq to take up the hobby of 'shark poking' or 'aquatic toaster juggling'.

Well, this is in the wrong Forum. Surprised I don't see anybody pointing that out.

Second, Urzu, it's time for you to grow as a collector / buyer, and learn how to price things yourself. Set some goals for your game searches.

Are you interested in getting stuff to play? Then you'll have to decide what to look for.

Are you interested in flipping items on eBay? Then memorize game prices on eBay or something and figure out how much you can pay and still turn a profit.

Are you interested in getting a house full of random shit? Then do like I did when I got into the hobby and throw all your money at random garbage. The worst that can happen is you don't have any spending money for stuff that counts. Hey, it's just money right?

Bottom line: Focus, focus, focus.

what forum should it be in?

[Urzu402]

i only hang around gfaqs...... so i dont know how this board works.....

[understatement]

what forum should it be in?

I believe it's in your title.

[Urzu402]

but i'm not asking what they are worth, i'm asking what ones i should get does that belong on what is it worth.....?

[nectarsis]

The other two games are awesome fun, but they're not as rare or worth as much. Good prices if they're complete, though. But it's easy to pick them up at that price.

Double?? Thats a stretch anywhere...both are averaging $20-45 complete on ebay all day.

[Damaramu]

I thought so. This explains sooo much.

[understatement]

Worth doesn't have to be a monetary value. Your simply changing the sequence of the words from "what is it worth" to "is it worth it" but it's essentially the same thing
