What Are The Most Overpriced Games?

Panzer Dragoon Saga used to be, a probably still is, overpriced. I know only a few were made, but there are definitely enough copies for all the true fans. I think the price is so high because it's a good game, not so much because it's impossible to find.

It's definitely attributed more to quality than rarity.

There are quite a few more common Saturn games that I see around that are really overpriced. The most notorious would have to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 ($30-$40 US) and Quake ($45-$50 US); granted they are probably some of the best ports of the games, neither of them should go for more than 15 or 20 dollars. I'm glad someone brought up SF Collection, too, I have no idea as to why this got so pricy but I'm guessing it was because up until SF Alpha Anthology came out it was the only console port of Alpha 2 Gold available.
Oh, and I have one more game to add here: Marvel vs. Capcom 2, it's understandable with the DC port, but the PS2 and Xbox ports go for the same price, usually more than the preferred Dreamcast game.

Yackom, when Ive seen it it was at coinop auctions. If I could get it for $250 that would be amazing. Granted I dont have the space for a ST-V cab right now, but Id find it for Dynamite Deka and Radiant Silvergun.

NiGHTS was one of the best selling games on Saturn, with a 3D controller it commands a heafty price on ebay. Upwards of $60. Lucky me I got a set still in the box for only $30.

NiGHTS has gone up at least by two or three fold over the last couple of years.
It used to be dirt cheap.
When I was compiling my cheapest game list, I thought it would be the easy winner.
But it's well over $10 now...

I know the game is rare and its awesome but I have to say that Snatcher comes to mind.

Castlevania Chronicles and Symphony of the Night fetch more on eBay than I thought they would. They get in the fifty-ish zone, give or take about ten bucks.
