Turok on N64 cost me a whopping £75, but in the day and age of peripherals etc, the most I've spent on one game has to be rock band. Imported on US release, full set, extra guitar and about £200 in songs... So that's...about £500...jees |

Registered 17 years ago£130 or so for Jap SMB64, a week or so after the Jap launch.
Add £500 for the console too, plus £1200 for the 33" TV to go with.
Prob my most expensive 'game' splashout. Got a Jap PS1 for Ridge Racer, that came in at about £600 all in, iirc. Again, week or two after Jap release of the consol -

£150 for Mario 64 on the day of Japanese release
(along with £130 for Pilotwings 64 and £450 for the N64 itself!)
Or if we're going to count subs - WoW (since beta).
Mine was £110, 64 was £330 RGB modded and with step-down from Project-K in Loughton. -

Registered 14 years agoAs I was still at school spending £45 on Megadrive Cool Spot cost me the most on a price vs income front. I saved up for about 6 months and it was ok. I refused to admit its faults though as I had invested so much of my savings on it.
I think I have actually spent more since especially if you take into account I have bought consoles for specific games but on a price vs income front they are still far far cheaper than Cool Spot. And for that reason they do not seem as costly. -

£65 for SFII on the SNES. Applying inflation, that's about infinity billion pounds these days. -

Rockband, £50 for instruments, £40 RB 2, £15 for RB 1 (for the songs), -£10 trading in RB 1, £25 for GH3 (for extra guitar, worked out cheapest this way) - £12 trading in GH3 game = £108
That's an estimate, I can't remember exactly. -

Registered 18 years agoI know someone who imported a Playstation and Resident Evil just after launch in Japan. Can't remember how much exactly but it wasn't cheap. Damn, it was fantastic though.
No Steel Battalion or HOTAS Cougar owners here? -

Registered 14 years agoSteel Battalion cost a bunch, yeah. Second hand, but it was still £200. Probably worth it for the initial excitement, and got some long-term use from it using a hacked PC driver.
Most expensive was probably DCS Black Shark - got it in my head that I'd like to play a 'serious' simulator. Bought an expensive HOTAS (the saitek X52 Pro with the LCD screen), and head tracking kit, plus a mobo + processor upgrade, a big mail-order manual and the game itself... :S Haven't actually played all that much either - hard to find the time for it. -
