Praised for its real-world setting and wry sense of humour, EarthBound is a must play for any self-respecting RPG aficionados. Platform: SNES Released: 1995 Potential Sealed Price: $2,125 Potential Used/Worn Price: $200ĮarthBound has come to be known as one of the most legendary Japanese RPGs ever released, despite poor sales on its initial run in North America. Now, just hope that your parents never cleared out your video game collection from the attic, and read on. The second is the used/worn price, which will be the going rate for your average, battered boxes copy that might be lying around somewhere. The first is the sealed price, for the unlikely chance that you own a perfect, factory-sealed version of the game. Along with the especially valuable NES era of games, we've also tried to include more recent titles, so that readers of all ages can join in the hunt for video game treasure!Īs a side note, we've listed two different potential prices that you could sell each game for. Rather than just compile the rarest titles of which there only exists 1 or 2 in the world, these are games that could realistically be in the collections of some of our readers. We've put together a list of 25 valuable games that there's a genuine chance you might own. While the majority of these valuable products date from over 20 years ago, there have been a number of reasonably modern video games that have quickly shot up in value, destined to one day become exceedingly valuable collector's items.

Thanks to commercial flops, special editions, and limited artwork, there are hundreds of commercial video game releases that have since become rare commodities. Thanks to collectors though, there are many video games that are worth tens of thousands, and they could be sitting in your collection right now. They're usually mass produced, made from a mix of cardboard and plastic, and only act to carry digital information that could feasibly be copied onto any computer. So if you find yourself in possession of one of these, it might be worth resisting the temptation to slap it straight up onto eBay, as holding out for a few more years could pay dividends in the long run.Video games aren't products that objectively hold their value particularly well. Here are the rarest games available for the Sega Mega Drive today, whose prices are continuing to rise year-on-year. Of course, whether you'd be prepared to pay hundreds of dollars for them is another matter.

Not only are its rarest games valuable collectors' items, but they're actually great fun to play too - overlooked due to circumstances that had nothing to do with their quality.

Yes, the Mega Drive is alive and well, host to some of the most sought-after gaming collectibles. The console lives on thanks to a thriving community of collectors - buying and selling Japanese imports that never made it to western markets, great games with inexplicably small print runs, and even games released just a few years ago - lovingly made by home-brew developers and released only in limited quantities. But it's a mistake to talk about the Genesis like it's dead and buried.

It was a worthy rival to the Super Nintendo - delivering us legendary games and series like Sonic, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Fatal Fury - and sold extremely well in the 90s before stepping down with dignity to make way for the PlayStation in the mid-90s. The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis is a console we'll never forget.
