    Default What is this PS1 game?

    Hey folks,

    About 10 years ago I purchased a huge job lot of PAL games, and this little fella was for some reason included. I presume accidentally.

    Here's an album with photos

    Until this day, I haven't been able to find *any* information outside of its name.

    Does anyone know what it's like? How does it play? Is it worth anything?

    Looks like another video game version of Go

    That looks like Go. Are you asking about THIS VERSION of Go, or about how to play the game of Go itself?

    Most Japan-exclusive PS1 games aren't well-documented in English, especially if they're text-heavy and/or in generally undesired genres like board games. Haven't played it myself, but I'm guessing Sekai Saikyou Ginsei Igo 3 plays like most other video game renditions of Go. I don't see a recent listing on eBay, but the odds of it being worth much are extremely slim.

    No kidding, eh? Sekai Saikyou Ginsei Igo 3 is correct, everything matches up. Seemingly zero extra information, so I'm going to assume it isn't worth much if anything.

    That said, I'm wondering if its a better Go game than the Hikaru no Go game I've played (that one lacked a two-player ability and had a weird implementation of territory). It looks like its sealed, so I'd feel bad "de-virginizing" it, but even so I might take it off your hands.
