Rare games on eBay

Post by deathtrappomegranate » Wed Aug 25, 2004 4:34 pm

Rob Catron is selling two very rare games. Sealed copied of Maze of Death and Sentinel One.

You won't see these up for sale often!

...with BIN $99 and $149. Isn't that a bit too optimistic?

Possibly...but how often do you see these games sealed?

I have Maze of Death, but the box is not great. If I had a little more spare cash...

It's always difficult to get high prices for cassette games, and the high priced disk games tend to be RPGs. I guess that they were the most popular genre in the early days of computer games.

As we have seen in the past there are also disk versions of non-RPGames like from Synapse (e.g. Alley Cat) or Sierra (e.g. Softporn Adventure :roll: ) which fetched extremely high prices. Also early titles from Adventure International are highly demanded. And don't forget MULE...

But the highest priced game I have ever seen is a complete Ultima 1 for US$750.

Heh! I'd forgotten about the recent bout of "Alley Cat Fever".
