BARGAIN HUNT

Your guide to the rising world of retro prices

2022-11-24 -

ATARI 2600

This iconic system is Atari through and through. Prices obviously vary based on contents and condition, but an unboxed system with games starts at £45.

ROBOCOP

Sadly, you can’t buy the Spectrum version of Robocop for a dollar. The tape version ranges from £6 to £35, while the disk version can hit £20.

DISCWORLD

Complete boxed editions of the PC game are getting quite pricey and can top out at £60 if they are in perfect condition. Both the Saturn and Playstation versions tend to range in price from £35 to £65.

RAYFORCE

The Saturn version of Taito’s shmup is getting pricey. PAL and US copies (look for Galactic Attack) can hit £110 and £140, respectively. The Japanese version (known as Layer Section) can reach £55.

GEARS OF WAR

Want to know where the adventures of Marcus Fenix began? You can find out by spending £5 on the Xbox 360 version, which is quite the bargain.

CYBERNOID II: THE REVENGE

None of the 8-bit versions of Raffaele Cecco’s game should cost more than £20 and we’ve seen the Spectrum version regularly hit £8.

BLOOD OMEN: LEGACY OF KAIN

The first game in the Legacy Of Kain series is rising in price, with the PAL Playstation edition reaching highs of £50. Complete boxed copies of the PC game can sell for even higher amounts.

NEKKETSU OYAKO

If you fancy this Japanese exclusive you have two options – the Playstation version ranges from £55 to £92, while the Saturn edition ranges from £110 to £190.
