What licensed Famicom carts are, absent some *really* good luck, guaranteed to require at least $100 USD/10,000 yen to obtain?
I'm coming up on having put together 1/3rd of the total (licensed) library. I still find plenty of carts I'm missing for between 100 and 1000 yen. But I'm curious what carts I'm (eventually) going to *have* to pay out for.
Aside from the obvious ones like Gimmick, Adventure Island IV, Bio Miracle, Akumajou Dracula, and Summer Carnival (that counts, yes?), all of which are pretty great games that I won't mind having to pay twice what a PS4 title runs, what carts are going to necessitate breaking the Benjamin Barrier?
Moon Crystal
Captain Saver
Bubble bobble 2
RADAC Tailor-Made, by Bridgestone
Seirei Densetsu Lickle
OVER HORIZON
maybe some original hardware testing cartridges
metal storm can also be added here
battle formula
Punch-Out Gold, possibly the 'Kung Fu' version of Spartan X?
Kung Fu isn't a $100 cart - I paid around 40 for mine loose.
Captain Saver is one (not this is the sequel to Power Blade / the improved version of Power Blazer) but has no '2' marker).
Over Horizon cost me about 70 from memory, so I wouldn't include it here myself.
Jetsons can be expensive too - as well as Bucky O Hare these may be 100 before you know it, same for Hebereke - they're all climbing...
where is flintstones in the mix?
Wow Bucky o' Hare is over $100? Damn, I think I had an opportunity to get it a while back but thought it was just an average and common game at the time.
I don't think Flintstones and Bucky are at 100 yet - more like 70 area but I have seen them go that high before, and as low as 40 as well.
God I'm happy to already have Bucky CIB, in that case, such a good game.
Somewhat off-topic but one that baffles me is Double Dragon - how is it so damn cheap and common cart only, but one of the rarest games CIB?
i also have a kung fu cart which cost under $50 it could probably be worth 100's because how rare it is but the demand is not there so probably wont hit $100 any time soon i dont think.
im pretty sure bucky is still around $50 mark also no where near $100 yet
Adding Metal Slader Glory, that's one that will costs a pretty penny. Retracting Bucky, you're right it'll be some time :)
Really? I've always seen Metal Slader Glory going for $100 CIB, does this mean the box + manual just doesn't add much value for this particular game?
I thought it was around the 100 mark but I can't find any loose carts to be fair, maybe it's below ;)
Thanks for the help, folks. Really happy to see the level of quality in the more expensive carts. Nothing on the list seems to sting as badly.
Especially in comparison to some of the NES treasures.
Finishing the collection really does seem like an attainable goal. :)
