Registered 16 years agoAnother one for SF2 on the SNES. I nearly paid 90 quid for an import of Super Star Wars on the SNES as well but thankfully sense got the better of me.
Straight games, no accessories, I will be surprised if the majority of these answers arent for nintendo carts. -

Registered 17 years agoI think i paid close to 100 quid for SF2 Turbo on US import. Can't remember exactly how much but i know it was a silly amount. At the time i actually thought it was worth it too. -

Registered 12 years agoIt probably was worth it, old games used to last forever.
Nowadays I'm lucky if I play through a game twice (or finish it) before moving on to the next thing.
Damn consumerism.. -

Lord of the Rings Online:
Game £40.
Moria Expansion: £30
Wrath of the Witchking Expansion: £20.
Founder's Lifetime Subscription: £99
Total: Just shy of £200.
That said, I've played it hundreds of hours (over 2 months of solid playtime on my main) and bought no games whatsoever in the time I was hooked on it. So in a way it was a saving

I bought Steel Battalian 2 on release for £120 or whatever it was (maybe £150).
Didn't exactly get my money's worth, but it's a pretty special bit of gaming history to own and it's still worth a fair bit of money to the right buyer, probably more than I spent.
These days with things like Rock Band and such around it really doesn't sound as expensive as it once did. -

Yeah, to be fair, i did get my my money's worth out of it! Still though, considering i paid 30 quid for SF4 on release, the prices we used to pay back then were mental!

Would be worth more if MS had allowed you to plug old comtrollers into the 360

Bomberman on the SNES ended up costing me around £180, as I had to buy the game, three extra controllers and a multitap. Still, it meant I could then play NBA Jam too :-D -

Nope, played CS for years, then Warhawk for a good couple of years. Never felt the need to get new releases. -
£60 for Mortal Kombat 2. -

Registered 17 years agoBought the 32X just for Doom, so I guess that means £230 (£180 for the 32X and £50 for Doom).
Thereafter I bought Virtua Racing 32X for about £40 (as I had realised Doom was ridiculously hobbled, and I needed some kind of redemption for my purchase) and mocked my mate who paid £79.99 for the MD 'SVP' version.
Dearest single purchase (game alone) is probably tied at £60 for Guitar Hero 3 (with the guitar) on 360, and Turok 2 (with RAM pak thingy) on N64. -

Registered 16 years agoStreet Fighter 4 with the TE stick, I think that was around £150 or something like that.
For a game alone it was whatever price tag that was on Halo 3 cat helmet edition. -

Registered 16 years agoIf it's just one copy of a game, then £80 for my US Star Trek Online Collectors Edition, though that does include just shy of £20 customs and charges.
But altogether:
Star Trek Online Digital Deluxe Edition: £45.00
Star Trek Online Gold Edition (EU): £18
Star Trek Online Collectors Edition: £80
Star Trek Online Lifetime Subscription: £170
So £313 on STO, and that's of course not including the £170 Champions Online Lifetime Sub that I paid that got me Closed Beta access and a Mirror Universe uniform that I don't even use. Not that I wouldn't have had that Lifetime Sub anyway, I quite like CO. -
