The one I haven’t found is Mutant League Hockey. I’ll get it eventually.
I’m still looking for Moonwalker. Punisher will have to be a stroke of luck.

1) Castlevania Bloodlines
2) Contra Hard Corp
3) Rocket Knight Adventures
4) Sparkster
5) Mutant League Football
6) TMNT Hyperstone Heist
7) Major Chaos
8) Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker
9) Batman and Robin
10) The Punisher (I’m hoping I find it in the wild)

Turf was your # 7 supposed to be General Chaos? I hope so cause if not I need another game I never heard of.

Yeah. It was General Chaos. I had a bit of a brain fart.

Man, Genesis exploded in value over the past several years, hasn't it? It used to be considered the cheaper alternative to SNES... but every somewhat obscure game that's actually good on the system is near or over a $100 bill for cart only. Most of you listed easily a thousand dollars worth of Genesis games in your posts. Probably would have totaled $50 back when we all started this journey. Absolutely nuts what we foolish collectors will pay for the things we want. Why we don't all just stick a flash cart in our systems and be done, I don't know.

I went into a local game store today, and noticed they had jacked the priced up on literally everything in there that I had made a mental note of prior. Average price of the common tier games was like $20 range. I just want to be done with this stuff. It's just getting financially stupid to pay new game level prices on every retro cart or disc that can be dug up out of someone's closet, while we can essentially have all of this to play for free now.

Game prices did not change at my local game store from the past 5 years or so, but before that, their prices were maybe 10% higher than anywhere else. Now, their prices are cheap in comparison. BUT in regards to Genesis, they haven't gotten anything new in for that system in a couple of years. I think there is only a few Genesis games they have that I do not have, and I haven't bought them because I stopped trying to be completist on Genesis. Of course, it was cheap when I started that quest but now not worth doing due to prices.

My list has the high value items but they are just rare altogether. The baseball games non-withstanding since I just want those because they are baseball. Mutant League Hockey is just an example of a game I had when I was younger that I don't anymore, the game isn't even that great.

If I really wanted to play any of these games I could just get the roms and run them in an emulator, so I don't really see a need to put any of the general sought-after/high dollar games on a wanted list type thread.

It's just nuts what anything goes for in this market. It's GOT to cool down. I don't expect a burst and everything to be worthless again, but there's def a lot of titles where I feel like they're just way over-inflated. People paying like $200 for Silent Hill on PS1, a common game. That kind of stuff cannot be sustainable forever. The market has always been really lopsided in favor of sellers. No one pays near what they try to resell something for, so they don't care to sit on it until people get desperate. At some point this desperation needs to dry up.... Why does Blades of Vengeance have to be a $50+ cart only game, when there are probably 30+ copies available on eBay? The price does not reflect the demand, a common theme in the retro game market. The price never reflects the demand, it certainly doesn't reflect condition, and prices almost NEVER decrease over time on anything.

In my store the other day, I noticed like all the common fodder tier NES games had been bumped up from like $17 each. All of the common PS3 games, $17 was also the average price. The store wants to make sure they're getting what most eBay sellers get with shipping charges included on this common stuff. Hilariously, they had bumped up a copy of Time Crisis 4 from $12 to $57. Which is wrong, as the game's value has not increased at all. They must have price matched it to a copy that had the gun-con, which they did NOT have. Just shows how desperate they are to stick these horrible prices to the customer, that they won't even do their homework.
