CF2 does, they just aren't very nice.

The battles in DS are what make it more enjoyable than so many other 16-bit RPGs.

Holy shit on a piece of toast, I just did an eBay search for Lords of Thunder, and I'm now realizing that the game I bought brand new for about $35 from TZD during their final days is now apparently worth hundreds of dollars to the lunatics on eBay. I'm starting to think that I should invest in a safe!

Which really sucks since LoT is an amazing piece of shooting bliss. Never played the Sega CD versions but I'm sure they won't be spared from the price hikes.

I gave up on the US version, and just picked up the PCE release instead. I love games with low language barriers

It's like people just randomly pick games and go "Yes, now is the time to gouge the hell out of this game!"  It really can't be because the game is becoming hard to find.  It probably has the most cd copies out there than the other U.S. SCD based games.

I bought a brand new one off of ebay maybe 2 years ago, and I was also buying NES carts for a couple bucks a piece around the same time.  I don't know what happened since then, but you could buy those for 3-4 bucks a piece - nowadays everything is grossly inflated.  I've heard a few theories that some of the Let's Play type shows on youtube are driving up interest, who knows?  In some of the other forums I haunt, people consider the TG-16 some kind of hidden gem, which is weird since most of us here have had our consoles since launch.

I do know that this doesn't help. Example; Game Grumps covered Pocky & Rocky and the already expensive game got a whole lot more expensive. Love those guys, but it gets kind of annoying that you almost have to pick up any retro game they play that looks decent the second they start showing it off otherwise might be a pain later to snag for a good price.
