Ok, what is the fair market value of Strider for PC Engine? How often does one show up for sale on a scale of 1 to 10 (1-you can find multiple copies on ebay all the time and 10-you see 1 copy every 6 months)?

I assume you are talking about SCD Strider <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

First of all, it's a bad conversion by NEC AVENUE (Licensed by Capcom). It has great audio but bad graphics.

PS Strider 1&2 is arcade-perfect, Genesis version is the second, and PC Engine SCD is the last.

It's not a rare title but it doesn't appear often on Ebay. I'll give 5.5/10.

Market value: $35 - $50

Quoted from that auction:

".......This version of the game is even better then the arcade game because they made a special level just for this game that cant be found on any other version. They also added in some very nice cinemas that are also only part of this version.........."

It is indeed that PCE SCD Strider has extra level but it's nothing spectacular.

Better than Arcade version? I don't think so. So far PSX version is arcade-perfect. Even Genesis (cartridge) version is better than CD (except audio) <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

It has nice cinemas, but again, NEC AVENUE can do a lot better than that <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Yes way and if you have patience.....

Let's look at Saturn Battle Garegga for instance, what's the current Ebay (or current market) price right now?
$70? I've only seen one go over $70 in November. How about three months ago? $89 - $100 +

Same thing to PC Engine Strider. I've seen several times for around $35 on Ebay.

It's not a SCD game, it's an Arcade card cD Game. I have it, and it's OK. Cool cinemas, but the PS or Genesis version is the way to go.

Yeah, Garegga was going for more than $200 a while ago. I think there was one that even hit $300.

Sorry
You are right. It's ACD game. For odd reason I always thinks it's "SCD" game.

My mistake.
