20 Rare Sega Saturn Games | The Most Expensive Saturn Games

Sega Saturn was released in 1995 and competed along side the Sony Playstation and Nintendo 64. The Saturn never caught on in the USA and was discontinued three years after its launch.

During this time more than 250 games were released for the console. Because it never sold so badly many Saturn games are now rare and some are quite expensive. Below is a list of the most valuable Sega Saturn games and what makes them so rare.

Most Valuable Sega Saturn Games

Panzer Dragoon Saga

New Price: $790 | Used Price: $285 | See Current Prices
Panzer Dragoon Saga is a role-playing game published by Sega. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world and you control and fight with a dragon. It is the third game in the Panzer Dragoon series.

Panzer Dragoon Saga released April 1998, a few months before Sega officially discontinued the console but well past the point where the console was selling well. Rumors are that Sega only produced 6,000 copies for launch. Two reprintings were done bringing the total number of copies to 30,000. The game has never been re-released on any other consoles.

Daytona USA Championship Net Link Edition

New Price: $1,100 | Used Price: $275 | See Current Prices
Daytona USA Netlink Edition is a racing game. Daytona USA was a launch title and a port of the arcade classic with the same name. Sega released a Saturn specific version named Championship Circuit Edition in 1996.

At the same time Sega released a Netlink compatible version, which could be played online. This version was only sold on the Sega online store and is believed to be the rarest Saturn game of all time. The game looks similar to the CCE version, except for a small Netlink logo on the game disc.

Magic Knight Rayearth

New Price: $350 | Used Price: $120 | See Current Prices
Magic Knight Rayearth is an action role-playing game developed by Working Designs. The game is based on a Manga and anime series with the same name. The gameplay is different from many RPGs with battles taking place in a tag-team fashion and character upgrades happening at fixed points in the game instead of based upon experience.

Magic Knight Rayearth was the last game released for the Sega Saturn. It came out in December 1998, four months after the Saturn was discontinued. Because of this late release, Sega produced the game in very limited numbers.

Shining Force III

New Price: $150 | Used Price: $96 | See Current Prices
Shining Force III is a tactical role playing game published by Sega. It is the third game in the Shining Force series and was meant to be released in three 'scenarios'. The real ending would only be seen if you beat all three games. Unfortunately only the first scenario was released in the USA due to poor sales.

Shining Force III was released the same month the Saturn was discontinued. The game sold very few copies because it was released so late and was for a niche genre.

Burning Rangers

New Price: $650 | Used Price: $90 | See Current Prices
Burning Rangers is an action game published by Sega. You play as a firefighter in a futuristic society where fire is one of the only dangers. You play through various missions and save civilians from buring buildings and emminent doom.

Like most games on this list, Burning Rangers was released 1998. The release date doomed the game to failure as most gamers had moved onto PS1, N64, or were anticipating the next generation of consoles.

Albert Odyssey

New Price: $1,025 | Used Price: $86 | See Current Prices
Albert Odyssey is a role-playing game published by Working Designs. You play as young boy who tries to prevent the destruction of the world with the help of a talking sword. The game was original developed for the Super Nintendo but was cancelled and ported to the Saturn in 1997.

Albert Odyssey sold better than many games on this list. It was very well reviewed when it came out. The quality of the game and the devoted following for RPG's helps keep the resale price high.

Dragon Force

New Price: $1,000 | Used Price: $85 | See Current Prices
Dragon Force is a real time strategy and role-playing game published by Working Designs. You assume the role of one-of-eight rulers in the land. You strategically control your army on the world map and when you meet another ruler you control the characters on a tactical level.

Dragon Force is one of the few games on the list released early in the Saturn's life cycle. It sold fairly well and was very well received critically. EGM even rated the game one of the top 200 of all time. It was only released on Saturn so people who want to play this unique RPG most buy this version.

The House of the Dead

New Price: $500 | Used Price: $80 | See Current Prices
House of the Dead is a light gun shooter published by Sega. The game was original developed for arcades but was ported to Saturn in 1998. It was the last of the light gun games released for the Saturn.

House of the Dead was another victim of a late release date. The game has been ported and re-released on many different consoles, but the original continues to hold its value for collectors.

Saturn Bomberman

New Price: $207 | Used Price: $80 | See Current Prices
Saturn Bomberman is a action/party game published by Hudson Soft. It follows the same premise as other Bomberman games. You drop and explode bombs to clear a series of levels.

The Saturn version of Bomberman is well known for its 10 player multiplayer battles. If you hook-up two multitaps you can play with 10 other human players on one TV. The game was released in 1997 and sold relatively well but is still fairly hard to find today.

Guardian Heroes

New Price: $200 | Used Price: $70 | See Current Prices
Guardian Heroes is a 2D side scroller and action RPG. Very similar to Golden Axe but with RPG elements included. The game also has mulitple paths to victory so you can choose which way to go and fight different bosses and get different endings.

Guardian Heroes is definitely a niche genre, which limited sales. It is considered one of the best Saturn games of all time and one of the best beat-em up type games too.

More eBay Prices

Last month we changed our eBay bots to collect data about games for which eBay has no UPC. This should be an especially useful improvement for older games. Info about third generation systems (such as NES prices) now have three or more sources on nearly every game. For consoles in the second generation (such as Atari 2600 and Intellivision), the prices are now based on both sales data and listing data.

This change also means that the console pages and individual game pages link to eBay more consistently. Hopefully that helps you find current eBay auctions for games you care about.

We have lots of ideas for improving our price data and making the site more useful. If you have any suggestions or pet peeves about the site, we'd love to hear 'em; just leave a comment below.

15 Rare Sega Dreamcast Games | The Most Expensive Dreamcast Games

Sega released the Dreamcast September 9th, 2009 (9/9/99) but it never sold very well and was Sega's last home game console. Because the system sold poorly, many of the Dreamcast games are now rare and quite valuable. Below is a list of the most expensive and rare Sega Dreamcast games.

You will quickly notice a trend on the list with lots of Capcom games, fighters, and shoot em ups.

Most Valuable Sega Dreamcast Games (USA Only)

Project Justice

New Price: $160 | Used Price: $62 | See Current Prices
Project Justice is a 3D fighting game. It is the sequel to Rival Schools, a rare game for the Playstation 1. It is a team based fighter with three characters in your squad and the ability to use a three-person attack. The fighters all have an academic or sports fighting style (swimming or school paper are examples).

Project Justice was released by Capcom three months after Sega announced they would exit the console business. Sales were weak because most gamers had stopped buy Dreamcast games at this point. The game is very good though so the copies available sell for a premium today.

Street Fighter III 3rd Strike

New Price: $125 | Used Price: $35 | See Current Prices
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike is a 2D fighting game in the long running Street Fighter series. Like the title says, this is the third game with Street Fighter III in the title. It includes 20 charactes including four brand new ones.

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike was released by Capcom in 2000. It sold poorly because the Dreamcast was on its last legs at this point. Capcom released the game on Xbox Live and PSN, but unlike Marvel vs Capcom 2 (see below), this virtual release did not hurt resale prices for SFIII.

Power Stone 2

New Price: $120 | Used Price: $55 | See Current Prices
Power Stone 2 is a fighting game with up to four players allowed in multi-player. The game lets multiple people play against each other and use tables, chairs, and other items in the battles.

Like many games on this list, Power Stone 2 was released by Capcom. The game was ported to the PSP in 2006 as part of the Power Stone Collection. This port did nothing to decrease the value of the original.

Fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves

New Price: $115 | Used Price: $37 | See Current Prices
Fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves is a fighting game in the Fatal Fury series by SNK. The game was originally released on the Neo Geo, but was ported to the Dreamcast in 2001.

The release in September 2001 was half a year after Sega ended Dreamcast support and Fatal Fury sold very badly. The game is known for great balance between characters and is still enjoyed by fighting game fans today.

Cannon Spike

New Price: $100 | Used Price: $43 | See Current Prices
Cannon Spike is a shoot 'em up game that allows shooting in multiple directions. The game play is very similar to Smash TV with the ability to shoot and move in any direction. It features characters from many different Capcom series, like Street Fighter, Mega Man, and Ghosts 'n Goblins.

Cannon Spike was released by Capcom in 2000 but sold very poorly. The shoot em up genre is very niche and selling a niche genre on a dying console is a recipe for bad sales.

Skies of Arcadia

New Price: $100 | Used Price: $38 | See Current Prices
Skies of Arcadia is a role-playing game. You play as a airship pirate and all travel in the game occurs on airships. Each segment is set in a different dungeon with a network of paths and you need to find the correct one to exit.

Skies of Arcadia was one of the last Sega published games for the Dreamcast. It is only reported to have sold 10,000 copies in the USA. The game was ported to GameCube in 2002.

Marvel vs Capcom 2

New Price: $96 | Used Price: $22 | See Current Prices
Marvel vs Capcom 2 is a fighting game with Marvel and Capcom mascots as playable characters. The game includes Spider-man, Hulk, Mega Man, and Ryu. The game play is in 2D but the backgrounds and other effects are 3D.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 was the most expensive game for Sega Dreamcast for a very long time. It was unseated as king in 2009 when Capcom released the game on Xbox Live and PSN. Used prices dropped 50% within a few weeks as people who bought the game to play it quickly moved to the cheaper Live and PSN versions.

Tech Romancer

New Price: $85 | Used Price: $30 | See Current Prices
Tech Romancer is a 3D fighting game developed by, I'll let you guess, Capcom. You fight as different mecha characters in a story mode or challenge mode.

Capcom continued to release so many fighting games on the Dreamcast even after initial games sold poorly because many of them were arcade ports. The hardware was so similar between Dreamcast and arcade that porting was a relatively inexpensive process.

Giga Wing 2

New Price: $80 | Used Price: $31 | See Current Prices
Giga Wing 2 is a vertical scrolling shooter published by Capcom. The game play looks similar to other games of this genre like 1942 but has a much richer background and many more enemies on the screen. The game is known for its ridiculously high scores, sometimes in the quadrillion.

Giga Wing 2 was a port from arcade and came out three months after the Dreamcast was killed off in spring 2001. The game sold very poorly but is still a classic for shoot em up fans.

Mars Matrix

New Price: $65 | Used Price: $40 | See Current Prices
Mars Matrix is another vertical scrolling shooter published by Capcom and ported from arcade. As the name implies, game play occurs in outer space with a very futuristic theme.

Like other games on the list, Mars Matrix was released by Capcom, was in a niche genre, and released in 2001. The shoot em up genre is very loyal and many fans believe the best era for the genre was on the Dreamcast.

Sega Dreamcast Broadband Adapter

New Price: $200 | Used Price: $103 | See Current Prices
The Sega Dreamcast Broadband Adapter is not a game, but is worth noting because of the high prices paid for the accessory. The piece allows the Dreamcast to access the internet at broadband speeds instead of through dial-up.

Some people buy the hardware to surf the internet on their Dreamcast (someone please tell us how our site looks on the Dreamcast browser) but most people buy it as a collector's piece. The Broadband adapter was released two months before Sega exited the hardware business and stopped production.

Rare Dreamcast Games from Japan

Bangai-O Prize Edition

New Price: $NA | Used Price: $811 | See Current Prices
There are only five copies of this game in existence. It was given away as part of a high score competition in Japan using the original Bangai-O.

The Bangai-O Prize Edition is identical to the original game, but has a sticker on the front that marks it as the prize version. Because the only difference is a sticker, prices are not as high for this game as one might expect for a title with only five copies.

Space Channel 5 Part 2 Limited Edition

New Price: $340 | Used Price: $200 | See Current Prices
Space Channel 5 Part 2 is a rhythm action game and features Michael Jackson's voice and dance moves. The Limited Edition includes headphones and a carrying case.

The Standard and Limited Edition was released in 2002 and neither received a North American release for the Dreamcast.

Border Down Limited Edition

New Price: $250 | Used Price: $180 | See Current Prices
Border Down is a horizontal scrolling shooter. The game was released in 2003 long after the console was 'dead'.

5,000 copies of the limited edition and standard editions were printed. More copies of the standard edition have since been published but the limited edition is still just as rare.

Under Defeat Limited Edition

New Price: $200 | Used Price: $120 | See Current Prices
Under Defeat saw the success of Border Down in 2003 and released in 2006. It too is a shoot em up game. It is set in an alternate reality where you play as Nazi pilots against English speaking enemies.

An HD version of Under Defeat was released for PS3 and Xbox 360 but only the PS3 version was released in the USA. This later release has not changed Limited Edition resale prices at all.

Sega Gaga Box Set

New Price: $260 | Used Price: $140 | See Current Prices
Segagaga is a role playing game. The game parodies the story line of the Dreamcast console. You are recruited to take over Sega and reclaim their console glory by defeating the evil DOGMA company (Sony). The game has many cameo appearances by Sega characters.

Segagaga was released in 2001 in Japan, but remains a cult classic because of its parody of the console it was released on. The box set was available exclusively trough Sega's online store.

Most Valuable Playstation 2 Games

Marvel vs Capcom 2

New Price: $280 | Used Price: $29
Capcom and Marvel teamed up for a 2D fighter with Marvel superheroes and Capcom game characters. It is considered one of the best fighters of all time.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 used to sell for $70-80 in used condition until the game was released on Xbox Live and Playstation Network in early 2009. After the digital version was released used prices dropped to their current $30 range. Brand new versions of the game still sell for $200-280.

Capcom vs SNK 2

New Price: $150 | Used Price: $13
Capcom vs SNK 2 is another 2D fighting game developed by Capcom, but this time it includes SNK characters from the King of Fighters series.

Used copies of the game sell for $13-15 but sealed copies have sold for more than $150. The game is no longer available at retail and due to licensing issues with characters owned by two different companies, the game will most likely not be re-released.

See Current Capcom vs SNK 2 Prices

Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence Limited Edition

New Price: $130 | Used Price: $37
When Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence was released for PS2, customers who pre-ordered the game received a limited edition version which included a DVD with cut-scenes from the game edited into a movie.

The limited edition we never reprinted and made available outside the pre-order time period so it is relatively hard to find.

See Current Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence Limited Edition Prices

Resident Evil 4 Premium Edition

New Price: $130 | Used Price: $19
The Resident Evil 4 Premium Edition includes the game in a Steelbook case, an artwork book, a documentary DVD, and a Ada Wong art cel.

Most used copies available don't include some of the premium edition extras, which explains the big price difference between new and used copies of this game. The brand new complete premium packs sell for $130.

See Current Resident Evil 4 Premium Edition Prices

Final Fantasy XI Vana'diel Collection 2008

New Price: $120 | Used Price: $35
In 2008 Square Enix released a collection of expansions for Final Fantasy XI. The collection includes Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urhgan, and Wings of the Goddess.

The game was released a couple years after the Playstation 3 when the PS2's popularity was already waning. The game didn't sell very well because most users had already moved onto the PS3 and there were problems playing the game on the PS3.

See Current Final Fantasy XI Vana'diel Collection 2008 Prices

Jurassic Park Operation Genesis

New Price: $100 | Used Price: $33
Jurassic Park Operation Genesis is a theme park simulator. You create a dinosaur theme park and try to attract visitors and keep them safe. Similar to Roller Coaster Tycoon but with dinosaurs as the attractions.

The PS2 version is not as rare as the Xbox version, which sells for nearly $200, but it is still one of the rarest Playstation 2 games.

See Current Jurassic Park Operation Genesis Prices

Grandia II

New Price: $99 | Used Price: $14
Grandia II is an RPG released by UbiSoft in 2002. It is a remake of a Sega Dreamcast game originally released in 2000.

While the Dreamcast version received mostly uniform positive reviews, the PS2 version was criticized for lower frame rates, reduced color and texture quality. Inspite of the technical problems with the game it still sells for close to $100 when brand new.

See Current Grandia II Prices

Wizardry Tale of the Foresaken Land

New Price: $99 | Used Price: $13
Wizardry is a long running first person role-playing series from the PC. This was the first Wizardry game designed for a console.

The game is published by Atlus, who is notorious for their small print runs and rare games. Wizardy is no exception and it sells for almost a hundred dollars when still sealed.

See Current Wizardry Tale of the Foresaken Land Prices

.hack/GU Rebirth

New Price: $95 | Used Price: $40
.hack/GU Rebirth is the first of the .hack/GU series of Action RPG's for the Playstation 2, which also includes Reminisce and Redemption. The game series tries to mimic an MMO type RPG within an offline game. The "off-line" world in the game has fictional message boards and news reports to add to the illusion you are playing online when you "login".

The entire .hack series has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. Those sales are spread over seven games and the majority of sales were in Japan. The NTSC versions of all the .hack/GU titles are fairly rare but Rebirth is the most expensive of the three.

See Current .hack Rebirth Prices

Document of Metal Gear Solid 2

New Price: $92 | Used Price: $20
Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 is an interactive documentary of Metal Gear Solid 2. It includes a database of character models, the entire soundtrack, every cut-scene from the game, and other "making of" materials like storyboards, scripts and development timelines.

The Document sold separately in the USA and was made for a niche audience that wanted to pay extra to learn more about MGS 2. Because of this it was produced in limited quanities. The game is very rare in new condition and sells for more than $90.

See Current Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 Prices

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2

New Price: $90 | Used Price: $32
Baldur's Game Dark Alliance II is an action RPG based upon the third edition of Dungeons and Dragons. The game was originally set to be published by Universal in December 2003, but in September of 2003 Interplay canceled the deal and decided to self-publish and release in January 2004. In November 2003 they announced Universal would publish, but again changed course soon after. In December 2003 the developer was shutdown and the game came out the next month.

All the production and publishing problems limited sales of the game. Interplay said if it sold well they would port a Gamecube version. The game never came out on Gamecube which indicates it sold less than Interplay had expected.

See Current Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 Prices

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3

New Price: $89 | Used Price: $32
Tenkaichi 3 was released on PS2 and Wii and is a fighting game with the Dragon Ball Z anime characters. The Wii version is more expensive but both versions are rare.

Tenkaichi 3 was published by Atari. Bandai now has the license to all Dragon Ball Z games which makes a re-release of the game much less likely. Prices more than doubled for the game in 2010, which is the same year the Dragon Ball Z boxsets started releasing on DVD.

See Current Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Prices

Digimon Rumble Arena 2

New Price: $88 | Used Price: $26
Digimon Rumble Arena 2 is a fighting game similar to Super Smash Bros. You fight as some of the popular Digimon characters and they can digivolve into stronger ones similar to Pokemon evolutions.

The game was the last Digimon fighting game released and is quite hard to find in the wild. The Playstation 2 version is the least valuable of the three versions released for PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox.

See Current Digimon Rumble Arena 2 Prices

Wild ARMs Alter Code: F

New Price: $84 | Used Price: $34
Wild Arms Alter Code F is an enhanced remake of the original Wild Arms released on Playstation 1. The remake has added characters, new scenarios, a remastered soundtrack, and a bonus anime DVD. Alter Code F was the last Wild Arms game released on the PS2.

The game came out in November 2005, after the Xbox 360 had launched, near the end of the Playstation 2's lifecycle, and it was published by Agetech instead of Sony. These factors helped limited the production and sales for the game.

See Current Wild ARMs Alter Code: F Prices

.hack Quarantine

New Price: $84 | Used Price: $63
.hack Quarantine is the last game released in the original .hack RPG series. Gameplay is similar to the fake MMO style in .hack/GU but the plot takes place 7 years before the events in .hack/GU.

Most Valuable PS1 Games

Elemental Gearbolt Assassin Case

New Price: $NA | Used Price: $3,000 | See Current Prices
When Elemental Gearbolt was published by Working Designs they also made 50 Assassin's Cases. It includes the game, gold light gun, memory card, and carrying case. This very limited edition item was given away at 1998's E3. Half were given to journalists and the other half given away to attendees.

With only 50 every made this is by far the most rare playstation game in existance. The game itself is an uncommon combination of light gun shooter and RPG. It is a shooter, but has very heavy RPG elements.

Suikoden II

New Price: $450 | Used Price: $110 | See Current Prices
Suikoden II was published in 1999 by Konami. It is a strategy role playing game with small scale battles with up to 6 people and large scale battles between armies. The game allowed you to import your characters from the original Suikoden.

The game was printed in small quantities in the initial run and didn't sell well enough to warrant an additional printing. The game's depth and loyal fanbase keep this game very expensive.

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne

New Price: $315 | Used Price: $91 | See Current Prices
Misadventures of Tron Bonne is a prequel to Mega Man Legends centered around the the anti-hero Tron Bonne. The game is very different from other Mega Man games with some puzzle levels, some adventure levels, and other action type levels.

Tron Bonne was released in 2000, the same year the Playstation 2 was released. The publisher said sales were "relatively light" in the USA. The game included a playable demo of Mega Man Legends 2, which appears later in this list.

Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of Super Heroes

New Price: $299 | Used Price: $37 | See Current Prices
Marvel vs Capcom Clash of the Super Heroes is a 2D fighter with Marvel and Capcom characters. It is the first game in the Marvel vs Capcom series and the first Capcom fighter wth Marvel charactes and non-Street Fighter characters like Megaman and Strider.

The entire Marvel vs Capcom series is renowned as one of the finest fighting series of all time. The excellent gameplay keeps demand strong. A sequel was released on the Dreamcast within a year, but was never released on the Playstation, which generally indicates sales were below the publisher's expectations with the first game.

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

New Price: $250 | Used Price: $38 | See Current Prices
Klonoa: Door to PHantomile is the first Klonoa game in this series of platformers. The game is a side scroller but the graphics are rendered in 3D.

Klonoa received great reviews when it was released and is considered one of the best platformers for the Playstation. The game sold relatively well in the USA and internationally but the enduring gameplay and level design keep demand high as well.

Diablo

New Price: $250 | Used Price: $26 | See Current Prices
Diablo is a horror themed action role-playing game. Unlike the PC version which featured four player co-op and online play, the PS1 version allowed only two player co-op and no online mode.

Diablo sold well on the PS1, but not nearly as much as the PC version. Diablo was rated game of the year in 1996 and has the highest overall rating of all PC games on Gamespot. Demand is very strong for this game which keeps its price high.

Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter

New Price: $230 | Used Price: $30 | See Current Prices
Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter is another 2D fighter colaboration from Capcom and Marvel but only featuring Street Fighter characters. It is a sequel to X-men vs Street Fighter, which was the first Capcom fighter published with Marvel characters.

Like other Capcom and Marvel fighters it sold well initially and continues to be popular with gamers and collectors. This continued demand for the game makes the game expensive because the game has never been reprinted.

Valkyrie Profile

New Price: $230 | Used Price: $63 | See Current Prices
Valkyrie Profile is a traditional turn based RPG developed by Enix. It is loosely based upon Norse mythology with references to Valhalla, Ragnorok and other Norse Gods.

The game was a commerical success worldwide but sold only 73,000 copies in the USA. The game received widespread critical acclaim and is still loved by many RPG fans. This is one of the most expensive games on the list when in used condition.

Tales of Destiny

New Price: $225 | Used Price: $68 | See Current Prices
Tales of Destiny is the second game in the Tales series after Tales of Phantasia. It is a role playing game with a unique battle system referred to as Linear Motion Battle Systems. The battles are in 2D, but all combatants attack in real-time and the game rewards multi-hit combos so timing your attacks and magic correctly is rewarded.

The game sold more than a million copies in Japan, but like most Japanese RPG's it did not sell as well in the USA. It still sold close to six figures though. Even with higher unit sales than most games on the list, it fetchs a very high price because it remains so popular. Even a re-release on Playstation 2 in 2006 hasn't dented demand.

Tactics Ogre

New Price: $215 | Used Price: $55 | See Current Prices
Tactics Ogre is the second game in the Ogre Battle series, but with so many changes that it is considered by some to be its own series. The original Ogre Battle was focused on grand strategy role playing with armies, but Tactics Ogre is focused on the individual people in the army and battles take place on a grid like most strategy RPGs.

Like its predecessor, Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen, which is one of the rarest Super Nintendo games. Tactics Ogre is hard to find as well with a limited production run. Prices have come down from their highs several years ago when it was selling for almost $100 used.

X-Com UFO Defense

New Price: $200 | Used Price: $46 | See Current Prices
X-Com is a strategy and role-playing game with elements of Civilization, defeating alien races and technology trees, but also includes RPG elements too. X-Com is considered one of the greatest games ever made. The PC version is consistantly rated in the top 10 PC games of all time by multiple publications including IGN and PC Gamer.

The Playstation 1 version did not sell as well as the PC game, but very strong demand for the game is what keeps prices so high. Many gamers are willing to pay top dollar for a chance to play one of the best games strategy games ever made.

Herc's Adventures

New Price: $200 | Used Price: $43 | See Current Prices
Herc's Adventure is a top-down Action Adventure game featuring charactes from Greek mythology. You can play as Hercules, Jason, or Atlanta and get to fight Cyclops, Medusa, and Hydra. The game is very similar to Zombies At My Neighbors for Genesis and SNES, with similar gameplay and humor.

Even though the game is very solid all around, the game sold poorly on both PS1 and Saturn. It is quite hard to find in the wild.

ISS Pro Evolution

New Price: $182 | Used Price: $51 | See Current Prices
ISS Pro Evolution is a soccer game released exclusively on the Playstation 1. The game includes a large selection of international and club teams but did not officially license any of the leagues. It used uniforms and logos that looked similar to the teams they represent and even player names that were spelled differently that actual footballers.

The game received outstanding reviews when it was released, but it came out six months before the Playstation 2 as interest in Playstation 1 games was waning. It was the last ISS game released for the PS1.

Tomba

New Price: $175 | Used Price: $58 | See Current Prices
Tomba is a side-scrolling adventure game from the producer of Mega Man and Ghosts N Goblins. You complete various tasks to earn Adventure Points, which are used to unlock additional missions.

DiscWorld

New Price: $170 | Used Price: $23 | See Current Prices
DiscWorld is a video game based on the DiscWorld series of fantasy books by Sir Terry Pratchett. The game is a point-and-click adventure game with the usual item finding, puzzle solving, and conversations that are a hallmark of the genre.

The game sold poorly but the devoted fans of the series have kept the game very valuable for collectors. In used condition the game isn't very expensive, but in new conditoin it fetches top dollar.

Mega Man Legends 2

New Price: $162 | Used Price: $59 | See Current Prices
Mega Man Legends 2 is the game included on the demo disc for Tron Bonne (see above) and is part of the same series. The gameplay is similar to a Zelda game with some RPG type elements but mostly action oriented.

The 2nd game in the series improved upon the first in most ways and received positive reviews, but sold very badly. The game only sold 88,000 units in Japan and sold much better in Japan than any other region.

Brigandine The Legend of Forsena

New Price: $150 | Used Price: $66 | See Current Prices
Brigandine is a tactical RPG released by Atlus. You control a nation and must conquer all other nations on the continent of Forsena. Like many tactical RPG's and strategy games, Brigandine is broken down into a preparation mode, with tactical decisions like moving troops between castles, and a battle mode, with actual combat taking place on a grid board.

Like almost every Atlus game ever made, Brigandine received a limited print run but it never sold well enough to warrant a re-release. The game is one of the most expensive titles on this list when in used condition.

Team Buddies

New Price: $150 | Used Price: $64 | See Current Prices
Team Buddies is a unique game that combines elements of Worms, Rayman, and Conker's Bad Fur Day. The game is a real-time strategy game with bright colors and multi-player modes. The European version of the game had different racial identities for each character class with the ability to taunt the other players with stereotypical sayings for each race, for example Scots could say "effing bastard". Unfortunately these were removed from the NTSC release.

Team Buddies came out one month before the Playstation 2 was released and was overlooked by many gamers and sold poorly as a result.

Lunar Silver Star Story

New Price: $150 | Used Price: $44 | See Current Prices
