Some of them are worth the money... but no 300$ for cartidge only. What i don't understand is how people will pay over 500$ for some BAD games (action 52 anyone?).
But that how things go, i'll just sit and wait to find the games i like for the price i like.

I will follow this rule far more close than the 10 commandments.

Shmups are usually worth the high cost of entry as their resale values don't fluctuate wildly.

I don't even think this should be a thread. It's a opinion. I like EarthBound, but my friend does not because he doesn't like long RPG's. Is one of us right or wrong? No, we are both correct. You can't have a real answer to this question, because there is no right or wrong answer.

I'm just asking if a game is worth the value of the price now. I'm not saying a game like earthbound or maybe panzer dragoon saga is good or bad games. I don't like rpgs either and I know those two games i.mentioned are great games but are the games really that good or great to be worth 250.00?

I guess it would all depend on how much what one really wants a game. Is it to get something once had, trying to get everything based on a series, style of game or just trying to get the best reputed game for a given console?

I'm keeping this Thread in mind until an EBay auction closes in about another half hour. The OCD collector tugging versus being sensible about it. :oops:

Now, while neither of these are extremely expensive, you will pay a bit for them, especially CIB. I really think Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia are really worth their prices. They're some of the best action RPGs on the SNES.

I think Soul Blazer is a little bit overpriced. It's not that/ good of an ARPG, especially when compared to Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, Secret of Mana, and Secret of Evermore. Then again, I didn't mind so much because I do cart only.

It has gone up a bit recently, but SNES games are over priced in general right now. I will agree with you that it's nowhere as good as any of the other titles that you mentioned, but I find it ridiculously fun, and it's a little bit of a guilty pleasure. Although I love the soundtrack and this song may be the most badass song on any 16-but RPG ever.
