Is there some reason this daff game goes for a high sum?

Because it's too hip to go extinct.

I wanted that game so bad as a kid. Not even sure what it's about, but it said "Radical" in the title.

It's a really bad platformer. It's worse than Awesome Possum.

Oh, I don't think it's that bad...I recently got Radical Rex and rather enjoyed it (the Sega-CD version). It is the #1 rarest Sega-CD game according to Digital Press, which would explain the high price, but I think that title should go to Keio Flying Squadron or Crime Patrol as they are truly hard to find and expensive.

You gotta realize, I like Awesome Possum.

The ironic thing is... most of the truely rare Sega CD games aren't that great, ie. Radical Rex & Crime Patrol. But the games that are common, but go for a lot and considered "rare" like Keio, Shining Force CD, and the Lunar games are great. Small world.

I loved Awesome Possum as a kid. Really, really loved. And then I went back and replayed it in high school and almost threw it out a window. I can't believe I bought it at full price, brand new...

The only reason I said it was worse, because I liked Awesome Possum.
