Are there any valuable Amiga games?
« on: August 11, 2011, 09:13:00 PM »
A couple of days ago on eBay, I saw a used, boxed copy of Castles of Doctor Creep (for the C64) sell for $280.  Are there any valuable Amiga games?

How about games like 'Zak McKracken' and 'Maniac Mansion' in mint or new condition? Don't they go for a high price?  Or did I screwed when I bought mine. LOL
 
Then there is of course 'Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis' right now on E-Bay. Seller is asking $650 for it.

I've seen Zak Mc Kracken go for 280 US$ on Ebay. Also, Apidya is about 70 - 80 Euros nowadays. I got a hold on "The Patrician" and learned its usually about 50 US$. Amberstar, Ambermoon and Eye of the Beholder I/II go for insane prices as well sometimes.

Dune II ... still trying to get a hold on that one :/

Edit:
I just bought Indy IV (Fate of Atlantis) in mint condition for 15$, so good luck to the guy who wants several hundred for it...

Edit2:
I had an offer for 45$ for Maniac Mansion in mint condition, but couldn't get over myself to pay that much at the moment...

I cant believe no-one mention Super Street Fighter Turbo yet. Probably the single most expensive bit of amiga collectable software ever.
Moonstone, while a great game, was hardly valuable. Ive seen it a dozen times or so on ebay and it never goes for more than maybe $10-$15.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Shadow Of The Beast from Psygnosis ( DMA, Now Rockstar North), original 'big box' mint. I paid £92 for a copy ( SUCKER ) but, it never had a mark on it.. i love it. Wicked box art!! Ghosts and Goblins Amiga Version is sought after too, well, by me it is...Anyone got one?? :(

Is that true about streetfighter?  I've got a literally mint condition copy.  It was bought and then installed straight to hard disk, so no wear and tear at all.

I'm assuming you are talking about the Gametek version?  How much can these go for?

I also heard before that Alien Breed the Killing Grounds was valuable too.

This would make sense as I don't think many people had a decent enough machine to run it.

I've also got a completely mint copy of this.

Turrican 2, also the CDTV versions of Turrican 1 and Turrican 2 are worth over 50 euro each.

I heard that Amiga Castlevania is worth a bit also (although its a crap port).

I think that Great Giana Sister was Shareware, not comercial.

Red Sector Inc made it freeware, but it was a commercial game.

One of the rarest of the well known games for the Amiga, as the Nintendo lawsuit got it pulled off the shelves very soon, yet everyone has played a pirated version.
