the guy ran away n nowhere to be found (yg malunya org melayu kita sendiri)... i lost a lot of stuff... aldy paid ... was shocked that one box didn't make it...

RS is an awesome game... quite late tho... am happy with Treasure's effort.. Guardian Heroes also the best...
so far RS is very limited in number and very pricy... tried to get one last year (from US) ... USD170 plus shipping USD30... thats USD200...
most expensive i've seen is at USD300... also careful dealing with ppl online... some try to sell ahem version of RS at USD100...
playasia out of stock also

even ST-V boards expensive... few RS cart around above USD100 each...

found out rent a hero on sega MD is rare title... shame the manual koyak... box n cart still intact

Hi, actually Radiant Silvergun is not really the rarest game. But due to high demand for RS, causes the price to skyrocket. People thinks it's one of the best shooter available for Saturn, some people thinks it's the most genius shooter design.

That's really bad, for the expensive items you should handcarry them instead actually.




Last time I saw someone wanted to sell off his COMPLETE collection of Japan Saturn on E-Bay for 19.999,99 Euro shocking.gif

He needs a full two 5-storey rack to store all his games ...

But I don't think anyone will buy his collection for that price sweat.gif

For the PC-Engine collectors, how about this 480 PCE games brows.gif

Because the company collapse while half way printing this game, only 5000 or less copies printed. It's a very special game, a rare 3D game from that era that still look decent these days

Yes, now this is what I called rare. I played it before, the graphic animation of the bosses is quite good actually. It feels like Castlevania, but the reason for the high price is not really that it's the greatest game of course, but due to the limited number copy being produced. In fact no matter how good is the game, as long it's in abundant or has been reprinted, it's somehow reducing its value. It's following the economic rule of supply and demand, I guess laugh.gif

Wow.. Some serious Saturn talk recently here biggrin.gif Don't wish to interrupt. But yeah, Saturn is also one of my wishlist. Nights is a good game, and so is their other 2D titles. Anyone played Shinobi on Saturn before? Awesome graphics!! Heard there are a few variants of Saturn in Japan.. The VSaturn made by Victor, and I think there are other limited editions (like the skeleton Saturn) Maybe you avid collectors should hunt them down? biggrin.gif

Hi u're welcome to join us laugh.gif

I just like to play games for fun and a bit of collecting. So far I only have one only, not the fancy Victor or Hitachi one, just the white one. The different is for these kind of Saturn they included the VCD card, while other type of Saturn has to buy the card seperately. The skeleton edition is quite nice, but not really within my budget as well tongue.gif
