I do not remember, I bought a SNES and like 1 game with it , which sucked like hell I think its 1 game free , it was Dead Dance.

I grew up playing pirated games, that is the norm thing here I will tell you why in a second.
The most I paid for a game I think it was Casper for ps1. In My Currency 37.7 =$100.
I paid something like 45MC which I think = $135 for a regular ps1 game, do you know now why piracy is the norm here?
I did it because I wanted to buy like 1 legit game, and I was fan of the movie+ I really fell for the cover and CD art work. I still have it. I just to get one of those BLACK-bottom CD's, they are so cool.
Unfortunately I never got passed level 2.

next most expensive would be halo 3 for $60 or so.

Back in 2000/2001 or so I spent $30 for Zelda: Majora's Mask, only to discover it wouldn't work without the 4 MB expansion pak. So I spent another $30 on the expansion pak. Total: $60.

Another time I got my disc only copy of Shining Force III for around $50 on eBay.

Generally I don't spend too much on games.

I sold my Playchoice 10 boards for $150 or so.

The most I've ever spent at one time was $120, but I got 2 ps2's, 1 xbox, 7 controllers, 2 memory cards, 5 games all cables. So that was really cheap. I don't think I've paid for anything more than rock band @ $100. My family or fiance have spent money on systems and new games though. Only MSRP though, never more.

Back in 93 or 94, cant remember which, i paid 120 GBP for a US copy of Super Street Fighter 2 for the SNES. I saved up all my pocket money for months so i could buy it and it was worth every penny!

$75 for Chrono Trigger at launch.

I suspect I'll top that soon though, because my urge to get Suikoden 2 keeps growing.

$150 for a SCUD racer dual cab - it was $300 and a friend paid for the rest. I fixed it for about $130 (Needed a new fiberoptic cable, powersupply for one side, lightbulbs for the marquees, and touchup paint) and we sold it for $700. Funded a nice little vacation that one did.

Console games - $55 for Steel Battalion
PC games - $63 for Red Alert 2 Collectors Edition

$54.85 for Street Fighter 4 new. I hardly ever buy new games, much less new releases, but I just got an Xbox 360 and I'm a big fighting game fan
