So, there are certainly expensive NES and SNES carts nowadays. NEO GEO games for for a shit ton of money, too...

What 2nd or 3rd generation games do you think will be worth the most in the future? Will it be based on rarity or popularity?

Border down and Zero Gunner 2 both fetch around 100+ for Dreamcast.

I have no reason to believe the list will change in any way. It will continue to be based on rarity.

I've heard Xenogears for PS1 fetches a good price, but I'm not a collector so I don't really know.

If Amazon is any indication, my copy of Tetris DS will be valuable. The game is barely four years old, is out of print, and the cheapest sealed copy on Amazon is $120: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000E9TBRK/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1267568124&sr=8-1&condition=new

My copy isn't sealed, sadly. Actually, there's nothing sad about it being open, because it's a great fucking game and it was meant to be played.

It is if infinite rotation and a lack of statistics aren't a big deal to you.

I have these, but I don't know if they're valuable yet.

Um, they aren't? I'm sick of Vanilla Tetris, and I don't play it for that. The game really shines in its new modes, most notably Mission Mode and Puzzle Mode.

Probably the rarest/most expensive game I've got is Earthbound for the SNES. eBay'd it in the 8th grade for $40 and I couldn't believe that I hadn't picked it up earlier. I only have the cartridge (this game was packaged in a huge box with a free player's guide) but that alone seems to go for $80-ish nowadays.

I've got the pack-rat gene from both parents, though, so I won't be selling it. I guess it's assholes like us that jack up the price over the years.

I have no clue how valuable my games are, but I have a crapload of Genesis games with their cases and instruction manuals if they matter. I have SNES carts as well, but none of them are RPGs so they can't be valuable.

I just made an offer on eBay for a sealed Earthbound game. I offered up 1100 and was automatically turned down. I'm not one to "collect" games, but this is something I would really treasure.

Be careful with so-called factory sealed games on eBay. I bought at least one Wii game that was clearly resealed.

I recently found this game for $50 brand new...TWICE

I would pick it up, if I didn't already own it.

I might have to invest in a DS soon, I enjoy Tetris a lot, and by all accounts everyone is raving about it.

I call my room a factory, so it still counts.

Question for you Syd, on the cover of your Tetris DS Box is the Wi-Fi logo on the top or on the bottom? I want this game so badly but I don't want to shell out the cash for a non-us or bootleg game.

Ah, I wouldn't know about the few old games my lil' brother hasn't completely annihilated. A boxed Super Metroid, Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country for SNES... and that's about it. I don't think they're worth much.

Also, an original System Shock for PC is lying around somewhere >.<


It's too late now because you haven't been PAYING ATTENTION.

Border down is actually a really fun shooter, its easy to pick up and play.

also seems like the Dreamcast had the best shooters of any modern system,

Speak of the devil, I came across a listing of DS games on Craigslist last night and picked up 6 games for 60 bucks. Namco Museum, Arkanoid, Diner Dash, Brain Buster, Picross and most importantly TETRIS DS! Checked em all out, completely authentic and man am I psyched. This game is amazing, finally a reason to own my DS.

I have always sort of wanted a DS, that is cool you got one and I am sure you will really enjoy it.

My problem is that I wouldn't be able to think of a time to ever play it like I do a home console. I dont take trips anymore and I dont ride a subways to work or anything.

Good choice in getting one though for 60.

I have an anxiety about playing games unless I am totally finished with work or school for the day. I just can't enjoy games in a public setting unless its at an arcade.

I wish I had ur mentality though which seems like a good balance

i guess it depends on your job as well. i work at a call center, so i dont have to worry about much, except the call at hand.
