Getting the NEO PCE Super Flash Cart, now need console to go with it!

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing if I knew how to search completed listings on yahoo japan Auctions, I could find several example of games going for the equivalent of $1000.00 US dollars in yen.

Like turbo D said, Darius alpha is more of a collector's item than anything else.  If you want to see a really expensive game (er, collector's item), then try to find a copy of Power League All Star or Youkai Douchuuki Gold - either one will run you 200,000+ yen.

So I was off with the range I said, I did say that I'm new to the scene and I don't know all the prices exactly I was just guessing really - I know that there are $1000 games out there for at least some systems, along with seeing high prices on Yahoo Auctions and not knowing which are collectors items and which aren't. 

All I was trying to say is that there are a lot of Pc-engine titles that are not cheap esp if you want more than one or two titles for your collection!  The exact prices wasn't really the point.  The point was that they are expensive enough to justify trying them out for a while to pick and choose which games to buy.

BTW - Thanks Necromancer, for answering the questions about the CD's.  That really helped out a lot!

I'd start by getting the must-have games that ARE cheap- for which there are tons.  I have 162 games and off the top of my head I can only think of two that were slightly over 100 bucks- and those two were definitely worth it- Dracula X and Dungeon Explorer II.  Not that there aren't more games that I want that are costly- there certainly are- but of the ones that I feel I eventually NEED to have- it is a small number.  Maybe we should start a "bang for the buck" thread- if there isn't one already.

A "bang for the buck" thread would be awesome, but I don't think "under $100" is an appropriate threshold. I'm sorry, but I've never felt like I've played $100 worth of gaming goodness. I think $20 and under or $25 and under would be more appropriate to start with.

[Sinistron]

agreed.  I'll start up a thread now.
