I guess you haven't checked ebay in a while! hanatakadaka goes for over $100 at minimum. it's $60 for a loose cart, sure. but uh... do you seriously put Bakushou Yoshimoto Shinkigeki, a licensed minigame cash-in, among the "really good stuff" ??? that's weird, dude!

Posted by exodus on November 05, 2018 at 16:48:06 EST in reply to You fucking guys...seriously. That saying “I should sell it because I haven’t hooked it up in...”. That’s ridiculous. You should hook it up because you haven’t hooked it up. It’s impossible to be madly in love with something you refuse to even turn on and it’s not the PCE’s job to entice you into hooking it up! That being said, most PCE stuff isn’t very valuable really. It’s mainly just US games and JP versions of games that are famous with US collectors. Magical Chase JP and PC Genjin 3 are only valuable because US versions exist and go for $1000+. The dumb fucks that pay $750 for Night Creatures think PCE is some weird bootleg foreign shit so really good stuff like Hanataakadaka! (I think I spelled that right) or Bakushou Yoshimoto Shinkigeki rarely break $60. from SignOfZeta.

I do, yes. I’ve cleared it several times and loved it. I also like Kato and Ken, which is like a crude version of the same thing. I bought the long nosed goblin too long ago, I guess. I paid like $45. Even at $100 though, that’s nearly the bottom end of any mint US game now.

you can still get a lot of US games for around $30 - the only reason I'm balking at this assessment is that I have been looking at this dumb market pretty closely and like mizubaku kids is $140 at best now... I totally agree that aside from the stalwarts like sapphire, sylphia, the demo games, etc, there's more upward price movement on the PCE games that were made expensive by US prices. But the rarer PCE games are really getting up there, even the "kind of" rare ones. Like... Basted! or City Hunter - these kinds of games were like 20 bucks 4 or 5 years ago and now are all in the $60-$100 category. I think as supply dries up just everything is escalating.

For sure. The entire gaming market in 1990 was a sliver of what it is today and PCE was a third rate competitor with little international presence so total copies pressed has to be very small compared to SFC and FC. It was undervalued for ages but I guess that's come to an end. I assume JP Mega Drive is just crazy town for the same reasons?

mega drive is insane - especially the low print run american games. some of those are going for like 500-700 bucks. obviously forget about getting a copy of alien soldier, etc!
