Recently I've had an interest in buying/collecting old games. I picked up a Sega Saturn a few years ago and more recently a Dreamcast. Even when I bought a ps3 within the last few months I made sure to get an old 60 Gig model that could play all the old ps2 games I missed out on. Anyway, I was looking at lists of top games for these systems and for the Saturn I constantly see "Panzer Dragoon Saga" cited as one of the best. Since I love JRPGs I figured It would be perfect and quickly looked around the net to see where I could get it from.
And then my jaw dropped.
As of writing this, Amazon has 7 copies, 5 of those being pre-owned. The cheapest one is $180 and its missing the first disc (There are four). From there the price shoots up to $319 and yes, that's still used copies. New copies go for anywhere above $600. The cheapest way I figure I could ever get it is to buy the discs individually from ebay for about $50 each.
All this got me thinking, what is the most expensive old game you have ever seen or purchased? Do you own that non-existent arcade copy of Polybius, or perhaps simply splurged on that Gold cartidge copy of the Orcarina of Time? More importantly, can anyone top the $600+ price tag I saw? I want YOUR story.
