Games that are worth more to you than what they sell for.

I don't mean games that are collectors items, like DDR Disney mix that go for $100+, I mean games that you paid like $50 for, but you would have easily paid double that or more because you enjoy it so much and got so much use out of it.

Here's my list:
Final Fantasy II (U.S. SNES - beat it 14 (!) times)
Super Dodge Ball (Neo Geo)
Final Fight
Star Ocean 2
PSO (When it first came out)
Samurai Shodown II
River City Ransom
SNK Vs Capcom: MotM
Snk Vs Capcom Card fighters
Wario Ware Inc. (GBA)
Katamari Damacy

I remember when I first got an AES I was determined to get Windjammers at any price.

It eventually turned up and I had to shell out almost £100. I know I'd never get that back but I don't care because it's such a sweet game.

SS2
KOF 98/2001
Last Blade 1

NES castlevania's
NES Zelda 1
Famicom Kunio/Nekketsu games (only the cheap ones)

SMS Wonder Boy III: Dragon's Trap

SNES Zelda 3

Panzer Dragoon Saga.

There's no way i'd sell, let alone for around £70

I have considerd it tho when times are tough

monkey island

i payed like £60 for the import mega-cd version, but i think it was worth it despite the long load times

Probably the worst game I ever bought. Was "entertaining" for a few minutes, in a stupid kind of way.

Guilty Gear 1 Pal.

I think it's pretty rare, too :\.


I can still remember me being very happy about beating that game through with Sol, only to get the crap character Baiken, that was fun.

Edit: Forgot Vagrant Story.

I tried to sell a copy that hadent even been played on ebay and it didnt even sell for a dollar.

When they started selling Jet Grind Radio for $5, I bought 4 of them and gave them as Christmas cards to friends who hadn't tried it. That game is easily worth (litterally) 10x that.

Also, for $25 on AES or MVS, no one should be without Fatal Fury Special.

Too many to name... all those games that make you feel nostalgic and remember your youth and those days without worries...

Lots of C64, NES, early PC casette games, early SNES age...you get the point.

But as far as games that are kinda in the highlight now, I would gladly pay double for Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3/6. These are my favorites games.

I paid about $120 for each of them when they were released back in the days...never regretted it.

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (XBox)
CvS2
Halo
Halo 2

Delta Force Black Hawk Down
Unreal Tournament
Doom 3
Quake

Chrono Trigger

Mario 64

Zelda Ocarina of Time
Legend of Zelda

King of Fighters 98
King of Fighters 2002
Mark of the Wolves
Last Blade 2

Prolly more, but I can't think of em right now.

you are a good guy

all the same reasons as above

Super Metroid
Castlevania SOTN (PS or Saturn version)

These are the games I come back to the most often over the years.

SFAC xbox
SS5 mvs (because i paid so much for it)
Twisted Metal 2
SFA2 cps2

The genesis port of SFII:CE took over three years of my life back in the early 1990's so...I'd have to give credit to that game even if it's a lousy port.
