« on: March 08, 2015, 10:37:22 PM »
How much does Dracula X go for these days? I have the opportunity to buy it for $130 US - is this a good price? Thanks!

Sounds like your typical over-priced eBay price.
Price chart currently shows it at 125.

Sounds decent meh-ish, either that or watch amazon closely? Got mine on there, maybe a little more than a year ago, I can't remember, for $80ish, maybe closer to $90, idk.

Hmph. Is the game actually rare or is it just in high demand?

It's pretty common as far as I know, just a lot of people want it because of it's reputation (one it's earned, to be fair).

A few years ago it was asking $200. I think with the PSP release, it has gone down. Personally, it's well worth $130...but I'm a died in the obey, true turbo fan. That being said, I got my copy for $40-50 from a local buddy that was downsizing(friend prices)...and the manual was is poor shape.

$130 is a decent deal but not a steal.  Totally worth it.

$100 is a good deal. More value for your $ than a couple crappy X1 games.

You can definitely hold out for a better deal.  That being said, this would be the best $130 you've ever spent on a video game.

While most 8-bit games went to $1 at some time in the 90s and then some rocketed towards a grand by 2015, Drac X never did this. When importers started carrying it in 1993 or whenever, it was $70-100. It has pretty much kept pace with inflation since then.

It's never hard to find. Never cheep, but it shouldn't be expensive either. It's not rare in the slightest, but it is the most widely popular and highly regarded game on PCE so once you have it most of the other good stuff is cheaper.
