So guys, we all have those amazingly good games that are about £80/$100 online that we ourselves have bought for less than half or even a quarter of that price.

I just bagged Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast for a solid £10.

Literally when I saw it I knew this game was rare, I even saw it go up to £100 online.

I also have, if it counts, Sonic Adventure 2 for £12, Jet Set Radio which was a gift, both for Dreamcast.

I also have Legend of Zelda: Collectors edition, that can go up to £70 online.

I most likely have other games too, such as Minish cap, that I've seen to go up to £50 online.

Haha, I got Skies of Arcadia and Shenmue for free all in the one day!

Also I got Shenmue 2 for 5 pounds because it was in gamestation.

In terms of bargains I've had so many over the years such as getting a Gameboy Micro for free (Months after it was released.

I got a fairly new copy of Megaman 64 for $9.99. But at the same place they had Superman 64 for $5.

I snagged (pun intended) a copy of Pokemon Coliseum at a garage sale for $10, also got a free promotional copy of Portal from Steam before it went back up to $15, not sure if it counts, but leek.

DHXIII and retrolinkx - I am jealous of your Copies of Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast! I got mine for the Gamecube a good few years ago when it got ported over for about £25. Both Dreamcast and Gamecube versions are still worth a reasonable amount on eBay. Big Grin

I managed to get Donkey Kong Country for the GBA for £4.99, just a year after its release. I felt like I robbed WHSmith when I payed it.

Also got LoZ: The Four Sword Adventures for for £7.99, GBA to GC link and all. Again, out of the same WHS shop. Was about a couple of years after its original release date, but still; yas!

That was such an epic game Big Grin

Same with the GBC version

Jayboeman · 07-16-2012 06:00 AM

Never owned the GBC version, but I have played it! I always remember being in sheer awe when I was younger that a SNES game has been imported on to the GBC, and it still looks '3D'. :P

JonTron rekindled my hate for that game. No idea why but one of my friends had it and I played it.
There's me playing Charlies Angles when we had games like Mario Sunshine and Smash Bros.
Good times man good times.

Also @Lethal
What game is it?
