GPX | 1,369 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 As per title, what game have you spent the most money on AND actually playing it all the way through to completion? In recent years, I’ve owned and playtested a lot of the rare and expensive games, but would never play them anymore than 5 minutes for the mint/expensive titles. My game for this topic would have to be Street Fighter 2 bought when it was first released in 92, at the outlandish price of $130 AUD. Extremely expensive for its time but probably money well spent!

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 NWC gray cart. I wanted to test it so I figured I might as well play it a few times. My personal best was around 3.1 million points by the time I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,898 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I rarely finish games today, and I rarely finished them as a kid. I earned multiple games worth more than this one, but it's honestly probably Twisted Metal 1. I played a lot of RPGs but rarely finished them. Final Fantasy VII, IX, Tactics, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Legend of Legaia, Breath of Fire III... yup, I played all of those but only finished a few of them.

jonebone | 1,307 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 SNES MACS + Rifle combo. Made sure to give it a playthrough and "beat" it. Though full honesty I beat it on a larger TV and less than 7 feet away despite the military specifications being a 13" TV at 7' distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I finished my Mega Man 3 prototype cartridge. I had to take my top loader apart to get the cartridge to fit onto the console PCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnpoly | 198 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Mr. Gimmick! Very expensive but such a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarzombie | 924 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Ive beaten all my expensive games, so i'd go with Samson. I wonder what the most expensive game is I haven't beaten, that isnt a Koei game. Ill have to look at a list later.

guitarzombie | 924 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 According to pricecharting (since GVN ate a big one), the most expensive game I haven't beaten that I own is Battletoads Double Dragon. I did beat it with cheats and got a bad ending but didn't want to bother to 'learn' the game. I always get pretty far but fall apart on the 2nd to last level.

Br81zad | 629 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I guess it would be Mega Man X3. But it wasn't nearly as expensive then (when I played it years back) as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,020 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I paid over $50 for a loose Contra a couple years ago during what must have been a price spike. I love the game enough so that it was still worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumez | 2,937 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I guess Tetris The Grand Master 2 Plus. Fortunately I bought it while it was "low", but the prices it is going for now are so absurd you'd think it were a rare AES game. It eats Cave PCBs for breakfast. If only console games count, I guess maybe Adventure Island IV, Recca, Mr. Gimmick? I'm really not sure which one is more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErickRPG | 42 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Probably a mint complete copy of Rayearth for US Saturn. And I was using an OSSC and RGB connection. The game cost me $350. It's probably $500+ now as I see US saturn RPGs have gone up again recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
