Message: [QUOTE="TamagotchiTamaHero24, post: 179455, member: 215120"] I’ve seen Sharp X68000 games. I fear Sharp X68000 games. Both Japanese and international collectors LUST after its library, which includes some of the most beautiful sprite based games of the time. I tend to find that games with amazing sprites or chunky polygons tend to go for more these days, as there are large fandoms for both. Generally, what drives up the price of games isn’t necessarily rarity: it’s word of mouth. As much as I love collecting games nobody has played and letting people know of the awesome experiences that are out there (it’s my favorite part of collecting and playing games), I’m also deeply aware how dangerous it is to do so. When a game becomes popular among a niche but passionate fandom online, horror stories can happen to the price. This is what happened with Neo Geo and Sharp X68000. Niche in their time, lusted by many, and the prices reflect the hard truths of both realities. It’s a tough pill to swallow, and part of why I will always respect and recommend the Repo even as an avid physical game collector. Collecting is fun, but your financial well being comes first.
