Ehh, you may have squeaked out price charting, but that's ebay fees and individual shipping and, 30 day warranty etc. Plus.....a lot of those games are not in great condition, especially the better ones. I would've thought you'd have gotten some more value, but is what it is.

It's a shame what has happened to the price of old games

[@Blaster1986]

It pains me that in the late 90s I sold my SNES for $5 and each game for as little as $1 to some sketchy videogame store that no longer exists. I still had much love for the console at the time, but I had played all my SNES games to death, owned either a PS1 or N64 at the time and felt it was time to ‘move on.’ Big mistake. To this day I consider SNES to be the king of consoles, PS1 a close second and Sega Genesis third.

Ugh.....Garbage box of games. You could have bought that exact box of games for $200 several years ago. Just shows how ridiculous the retro gaming market is. Glad I got out of it.

[@rydamusprime]

I dont know if it was mentioned but Rock N Roll Racing did get an update via Blizzard Arcade Classics, however there is no physical release unfortunately

[@lasergame98]

I sell 7 snes games all for $70.00. They are just circuit boards with less electronic parts designed. In the game you'll be playing with less stages and listening to reloop music

[@rjcolombe]

If a remastered version of Rock n' Roll racing was ever released, I'd give it a go for sure. The original one for SNES was a classic....not just for the excellent soundtrack, but also because it was a legit good racing game too!

[@obsoleteworlds]

they already did a remastered version with an album quality soundtrack on the Blizzard Arcade Collection.

[@rjcolombe]

@@obsoleteworlds Oh, ok. I wasn't aware.

Not the best value box you ever got, considering it’s $1000 and no time spent or eBay fees selling them individually I would have expected a little more in the box. But just over $1000 isn’t bad, just not great.

[@thenightstar8312]

Hard disagree. There were so many excellent gems in this set.

Nostalgia really blinds some people and it is sad. Too many scammers have jacked up the prices and collecting isn't viable for anyone who isn't rich af with extra money to burn.

Very nice selection of games you may not see as often, nice to see some decent SHMUPS represented as well. Biometal, Blazeon, Silk Worm. Strike Gunner STG I always felt left you wanting more, a pretty bare bones basic SHMUP. King Arthur and the Knights of Justice is actually based up on a sweet 90's cartoon of the same name where a high school football team is sent back to King Arthur's time to take the place of the Knights of the Round table
