How much is Beyond Shadowgate worth?

[JohnnyPhantom]

 My local game store has a cd only of beyond shadowgate. I'm staring at it now. Is it worth $99.99? I can't find it online anywhere

A bit too much for a loose copy IMO.

Where are you?  That's E?  It's in mass, saw one there about a month ago, loose for $99.
They also wanted $149 for a loose sega cd of snatcher. God I hate people.

[JohnnyPhantom]

That's exactly where I am. Both are still there picked up Bonks adventures for $9.99 and headed home

Hahaha! Who has two thumbs and knows where to find all the crappy deals?... THIS GUY!

I make an annual trek there on Black Friday. Hopefully they have some decent deals next week.

Unlike carts, CD games have next to no collectible or functional value. The most a gouger should shoot for is $50, but really it's not worth it.

I wouldn't pay $100.00 for a loose copy, no way.

I'd pay maybe $10 for it. You can just burn an ISO any time you want; I don't get what the big deal is.

Probably due to the fact that there is so much uncertainty on playing cdrs on the actual hardware. I'd say just get a dreamcast or a xbox and play it via emulation on those systems. Or better yet finance someone to do a bootleg pressing of the game. Hell, the only people it will hurt are the collectors who think this stuff is worth its weight in gold so why not? It worked great for Sapphire.

Check around garage sales and flea markets. It might take some time, but you can find it for cheap. If you are impatient, you can always get the PCE version around 700¥.

1) Sadler is hilarious.
2) Is it worth $100? No.
3) Are you going to find it cheaper? No.
4) It's 2012. Spend your money on something else.

4. that was my ultimate decider, The Wii U is out sunday, so $100 = 2 games for me (and 1 CD-R for shadowgate *cough*)

I wouldn't pay $100 for a loosey (ya might as well pay a bit more for a complete one), but five years from now the copy of Beyond Shadowgate will still be worth something when the Wii U games will be relatively worthless (not as fun either).

I predict that in 10 years, folks will covet the Wii U games, seeing as it will mark the beginning of SkiiNet, the defense system with self-aware Mii's.
