Posted by SignOfZeta on November 06, 2018 at 00:13:50 EST in reply to 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. (n/t) from exodus.
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?
