Although throughout the history of video games there have been a series of consoles that have achieved legendary status, others have stayed by the wayside with an undeserved poster of second placeand have gradually become niche objects, which only those authentic gamers know. And Game Gear, which wasn’t as valued as it deserved in the 90s, is now recovering a good part of that recognition.
SEGA is undoubtedly one of the most beloved companies in video game history so far, with iconic characters such as Sonic and legendary consoles such as the Mega Drive or Dreamcast. However, it also has other machines that, despite not having the recognition they deserve, have nothing to envy to those that were their older sisters at the time. AND the COLOR screen laptop was one of them.
An unfairly forgotten gem
Although Game Gear was in the hands of a minority -if we compare it to Game Boy, for example-, some of the cartridges that came out for it are HIGHLY in demand by collectors, and that is why, on this occasion, we bring you The five titles in PAL format for which you pay the most. let’s get started
5. Les Schtroumpfs: Autour du Monde
This game is definitely something you don’t see every day. First, because they refused to translate the title into other languages, and in which we will accompany the friendly Smurfs on an adventure platformer worldwide. It’s an understatement if we say that this game is very, very, very weird, which makes collectors rave about it, coming in at $870.95.
2.galaga 2
We are almost 100% sure that you were unaware that there was a cartridge for one of the most legendary games in history. But, nevertheless, here it is, respecting the same spirit of the galaga original: gameplay, graphics and even some enemies. If you are a fan of coin op from Namco and you have money to spare, you will only have to pay $903.
3.Power Drive
Another genre that tends to have a lot of following in the world of video games is that of car racing. This cartridge was one of those typical titles that came out trying to copy other more successful racing franchises. However, that does not make it less valuable, since you will have to pay $1,533.11 if you want it in perfect condition.
2.Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle
Another game to which the term weird falls short. This cartridge that puts us in the shoes of the mythical Tarzan, the king of the monkeys, for some strange reason is inspired by titles such as gauntlets by Atari, and in which we will have to make our way through a dungeon. The rarer the game, the higher the price, which explains its cost of $2,848.
1.Sonic Blast
It is commonly considered by hedgehog fans as one of the worst sonic ever created, and it is precisely that status of absolute failure that elevates this cartridge to the category of Holy Grail. Its price is at least high, since if you are big fans of the hedgehog and you are missing this one in your collection, you will have to pay $7,100. There is nothing.
And you? Do you have some of these games in your collection?
