Beyond Shadowgate DUO NA, what would you pay for it? (census)

[vexcollects]

I decided a while ago that $150 is the maximum I'll spend on a video game.  I don't know what I'd do for a copy that wasn't complete.  I'd still like a copy, but I don't think that I'd pay top dollar for it in that condition...

Shadowgate seems to be getting quite a bit of attention as of late.  My favorite was a guy posting in a facebook group that he had to have the game because he loved Shadowgate so much, but he didn't want to pay gauged up prices for it and probably wasn't even going to play it as he didn't have a turbo grafx.  Classy guy.

What's so weird about that? I was planning to use my (soon to be) copy of Shadowgate as a coaster for a cup of Sanka that I just haven't been able to put down anywhere. I'm tired of carrying it and I love Shadowgate. Kills 2 birds with one stone.

I sold mine for $65 I believe, but it had no poster and it was back in 2006.  It wasn't one of those "super rare later release" titles..."yet"  Hell I called up GameDude to check with them on what Turbo titles they had around 2008.  They did have Beyond Shadowgate and it was $90 complete.  I would say what others have, that $150-$200 would be what it should go for if it's complete.

I wouldn't pay more than what Gamedude is offering for it.

I paid 100.00 for mine few years back.  I didnt think it was all that great of a game.

one thing to say about the game is that its pretty "unforgiving".  meaning, there are a zillion ways to die and it will let you progress pretty far even if you miss a critical item along the way.  some of the "puzzles" have multiple solutions which keep it fresh too.
the real time battles are a bit stiff, but they mesh well with the overall pace of the game.  i love the atmosphere.  SAVE OFTEN.

yeah...the game will get ya

No more than I paid for Dracula X - $82.

Honestly, to answer OP's question, probably around $35 dollars.  Before you jump on me, I know what it's market value is, but that's what I'd personally pay for it.  I was even a big fan of the NES shadowgate (I know it started out on the Mac but the NES is the definitive version for me) but with the change in the game's presentation, and the rep with other Icom Simulations games from the era, I don't think it's deserving of it's price tag (actually rarity aside).  So maybe I'll never get to play it, and that's ok (even my retro backlog is enormous at this point) but I would definitely pick it up if I got a deal.

This thread reminds me, I need to put the poster back in my case. I took it out to scan way back when I covered the game in an episode. I returned the game to the game room the the poster is still in here folded up on the shelf. 10:1 I forget about it again after I submit this post.

Put it away before Dave rolls it into a blunt; never trust a CO SNERD around loose papers.

I did forget! But I stumbled across this thread again and got it down and now it is inches away from my fingers as I type this and not near anyone else who doesn't have the game!

just to make people jealous i am typing this sentence with the edge of the poster.
