Which games would you still pay full price for?

[Genesis Knight]

This may seem like an odd question, since many of you played Genesis back in the day and did indeed pay full price (50-60, we'll say) for the games. I didn't, and as I play these games I ask myself 'would I really have paid that much for this'? 99% of the time the answer is no. It's not that I don't enjoy the games; it's just I don't think I get $50 worth of fun out of them.

There are a few games, though, that I would still pay full price for...

Beyond Oasis
Samurai Showdown
Landstalker

What about you all?

[David J.]

Revenge of Shinobi, with Batman! If I had a time machine then I would. Oh yeah...

[lemmy_kilmister]

MUSHA, nuff said.

[Zebbe]

Panorama Cotton ^^ (That would be cheaper than it costs now, you know). Otherwise it would be Phantasy Star IV, my all time favorite game.

[j_factor]

I second Phantasy Star IV. Even though it cost $99.

[Drixxel]

Contra: Hard Corps, Gunstar Heroes, Lightening Force, Mega Turrican, Phantasy Star IV.. if only.

[David J.]

MUSHA, nuff said.

It still sells for that much. :(

[Demonic Weasel]

Shining Force. Phantasy Star. The RPG's.

[Flash1087]

Vectorman, Ghostbusters, and Sonic 3.

[Genesis Knight]

I can get MUSHA for $8 locally, but I just don't care for it..

[nik]

Shining Force, and Shining Force II

[Zieborn]

If I couldn't play them otherwise:
My entire collection except Sea Quest, Columns, Exo Squad, and World Series Baseball (I'd still play $15 for it).

In particular Gunstar Heroes, Sonic 2, Flashback, and Revenge of Shinobi.

[lemmy_kilmister]

I can get MUSHA for $8 locally, but I just don't care for it..

You should at least pick it up to sell it then. Hell, you'd probably make 25 bucks if you did.

[David J.]

I'd pay you back if you bought it for me. :)

[nik]

Yeah I sent him a PM saying I'd pay him for his troubles, I haven't been able to find that game yet... been so long since I've played.

[Mel]

Ghouls & Ghosts. Nuff said.

[Genesis Knight]

The MUSHA thing is just an empty boast, apparently. The sticker price is indeed $8, but they don't have any copies.

[Sega Uranus]

Ristar, Shining Force II, Beyond Oasis, Ecco 1&2, and of course Gunstar Heroes...besides, I could go for a Friut Roll-Up right now... or was it Fruit by the Foot?

[Genesis Knight]

Fruit Roll-Up, I think.

[Joe Redifer]

I made Electronics Boutique throw away the Fruit Roll Up that came with my Gunstar Heroes, and they were very hesitant to do so. Every time I tell someone that the game came with a Fruit Roll Up, they never believe me!

[Chris Marsh]

All the expensive Sega CD games (Keiko, Snatcher, Popful Mail, but not Lunar or shining force) when they first came out.

[Genesis Knight]

Now, come on - the purpose wasn't to say what rare and expensive games you'd get when they came out (and hock later), but which ones you LOVE enough to pay full price for again.

[Genesisdoes]

I made Electronics Boutique throw away the Fruit Roll Up that came with my Gunstar Heroes, and they were very hesitant to do so. Every time I tell someone that the game came with a Fruit Roll Up, they never believe me!

I wonder if the fruit roll up is considered rare and adds to the game's value? lol
I'd pay 50 bucks for Sonic 2, as it is a classic, maybe the best in the series

[Joe Redifer]

Gunstar Heroes is not considered complete unless it includes the (uneaten) Fruit Roll-Up.

[Dartagnan1083]

Gunstar Heroes is not considered complete unless it includes the (uneaten) Fruit Roll-Up.

EWWWIIEES. . . .
just. . .ugh


anyways. . .games still worth full price.

Earthworm Jim: SE
Gunstar Heroes
Lightening Force
LUNAR: Eternal Blue
Rocket Knight Adventures
Shinobi III
Sonic CD
Sonic & Knuckles
Ys III


and that's all there is just off the top of my head.

[Parker619]

oo the games i could still pay full price for are just a couple of good games,, Phantasy star II,, Sonic 2,,, Maybe Kings bounty,, ghouls n ghosts,, and ecco the dolphin (so much better than the second one)

[Vyse of Arcadia]

Hmm...

Sonic 2
Sonic 3
Sonic and Knuckles
Ristar
Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star IV
Shining Force II
Ecco the Dolphin
Ecco the Dolphin: The Tides of Time
Vectorman

I think those are all worth the full price again.

[George Foreman]

Not too many really:
Contra: Hard Corps
Gunstar Heroes
Phantasy Star(any except III)
Shining Force(any)
Streets of Rage(all)

[Flash1087]

Oh, and Adventures of Batman and Robin. If that came out on the Virtual Console tomorrow for $40 I'd cough it up in a heartbeat.

[Hidden_Darkness]

some of the ones id pay full price for are:
sonic 2,
streets of rage 2,
megaman the wily wars,
earthworm jim: special edition,
comix zone,
knuckles chaotix,
final fight cd,
phantasy star 2,
phantasy star 4,
sonic cd,
keio flying squadron,
popful mail,
plus many more that I cant think of at the moment.

I actually did pay full price for many of those in the 90s though.

[108 Stars]

I wouldn´t pay full price for any known Genesis game if they were new today. Beggar Prince cost me 40-some €, but it is a collector´s item and still less than full-price (full price for new MD-games was 60,- - 70,- € here).
They just don´t hold up well enough against new games imho. Maybe I´d still pay 20,- € for Landstalker if it was a new game with the same graphics and stuff.

However, I would buy newly programmed RPGs if they are really top-notch-16-Bit-style. Something in the same class as Lunar for example, which does a good job graphically and gameplay-wise.
Come to think of it, it would be cool to re-release Lunar itself on a cartridge. Take away the CD-sound and FMV and it wouldn´t be a problem.

[vice86]

Games I still love to play and would pay for

Super HangOn
M.U.S.H.A.
Thunderforce series

[Mr Smith]

I would happily pay full price for a copy of Daze Before Christmas as its worth more now than when it was launched.

[0x15e]

Sonic 1, 2, 3, + Knuckles, and CD
Knuckles Chaotix (I paid $30 for a complete one recently anyway)
Streets of Rage 2

Really, that's about all I go back to with any regularity. I have a stack of carts, just nothing I play enough to warrant buying at full pop.

[108 Stars]

Sonic 1, 2, 3, + Knuckles, and CD
Knuckles Chaotix (I paid $30 for a complete one recently anyway)
Streets of Rage 2

Really, that's about all I go back to with any regularity. I have a stack of carts, just nothing I play enough to warrant buying at full pop.

Well, but 30,-$ is only about only half the price it originally cost.

[Mr Smith]

Sonic 1, 2, 3, + Knuckles, and CD

Really? You'd buy them for the original price? I'll sell you my copies. :D

[0x15e]

Well, but 30,-$ is only about only half the price it originally cost.True, but if it came out now, and buying new was the only way to get it, and I wasn't under the impression it was total garbage like I was when it first came out, I'd buy it for $60.

Really? You'd buy them for the original price? I'll sell you my copies. :DHeh. Except I'm already sitting on copies (multiple in Sonic 1's case) copies. Then there's that whole "can get them used for dirt" thing ... :cool:

[Mooияakeя™]

Loads. Too many to mention!

[sonic417]

Probably NHL ' 94, I dont think I played any other game (spanning any system) as much as I played that game.

Of course, sports games, you can pick up mint for a few bucks. But if I could only buy it new, I would.

[Soda Popinski]

Beyond Oasis
Pirates! Gold
Shadowrun
Gunstar Heroes

[Obviously]

I can get MUSHA for $8 locally, but I just don't care for it..

Shit, I'd just buy it to sell it on eBay and make a quick buck...

[mick_aka]

Thunderforce IV, which I actually did pay retail price for (£29.99 in Electronics Boutique)
It was, and still is worth every penny of thirty quid.

[megbydogs]

Probably Phantasy Star II... since it received it as a b-day gift way back in it's day. A month later it was stolen when my place was broken into, so naturally, I had to go out and get another one (and another Genesis). I'd easily pay another $69.99 (well, as long that incredible hint book came with it again). It's too bad games don't come bundled like that anymore... guess, there is too much money to be lost these days if they did).

[outrunner]

Phantasy Star II,5 in 1 sega cd pack.
I only own the 5 in 1, but for a boxed still in wraping Phantasy Star II complete I would pay about $70.00 US.

[Smii]

Why did Gunstar Heroes come with a fruit roll-up? Why would a game come with a food?? I'm sorry, that just seems wrong to me.

Anyway, I paid full price for a few games 'back in the day', most notably the Sonics - Sonic CD cost me a good chunk of Xmas moneys one year, for example, and then there was Sonic & Knuckles around the launch. (Sonic 3 was a present :) )
I also bought Mega Drive games for my dad for his birthday / Xmas one year (Galaxy Force 2, & Wrestlemania) for about £20 each, and then recently spotted copies of those games in a charity shop recently for £1 each! If only time machine blah blah i'm a big fat miser :)

[acdc]

street of rage 2
ghostbusters

but i was then i was little and didn t had a lot of money so i always had to buy second handed

[Alien_Soldier]

Well, I am also a collector of Neo-Geo AES games, so I am kind of "accustomed" to high prices. As you probably know, the prices for AES carts range from pretty high to insane. hehe... I would definately pay good money for a few of my fave Mega Drive games (such as Alien Soldier, Contra: Hard Corps, Sonic 1-3, VectorMan, etc) as well, but fortunately that is rarely needed.

[acdc]

I HAD A NEO GEO AES

DID GET IT FROM UNCLE RICH MAN

BUT WHEN I WANTED TO BUY A GAME FROM IT IT WAS LIKE 700 -800 GULDENS LIKE 350 EURO FOR A GAME IN 1990

ONLY HAD METAL SLUG AND SUPER BASEBALL 2020 AND FATAL FURY

BUT SOLD IT ALL NEVER BOUGHT A GAME FOR THAT EXPENSIVE MACHINE
ALWAYS GET A GAME FROM MY UNCLE

[playgen]

You had Metal Slug? hope you sold that for a decent price!

And turns off your Caps Lock button! :cool:

[Alien_Soldier]

I guess this is a little bit off topic, but yes, hope you got a good price for Metal Slug, assuming it's an original. It's quite valuable nowadays.

[acdc]

if you wanne now

i sold everything compleet for everything was boxed even the neogeo was a european system

for 500 euro s

[acdc]

sold it 3 years ago

[Dreamc@sting]

Shining Force 1 & 2, Shadowrun, Vectorman, and Streets of Rage 2

Theres alot more I'd pay full price for but I'd rather not type it all

[Earthworm_Jim_Fan]

Sonic Spinball, JP version of Sonic CD, ETC..

[acdc]

oooh iforgot
