Bomberman 64 – priced 9.95 – payed 5

Mario Story (Paper Mario 64) – priced 24.95 – payed 5
Ocarina of Time – priced 19.95 – payed 5
Majora’s Mask – priced 19.95 – payed 5
Banjo Kazooie – priced 12.95 – payed 5
Banjo-Kazooie 2 (Banjo-Tooie) – priced 14.95 – payed 5
Pocket Monsters Stadium 2 (Pokemon Stadium 2) – priced 12.95 – payed 5
Starfox 64 – priced 9.95 – payed 5
Ogre Battle 64 – priced 19.95 – payed 5
Snobow Kids (Snowboard Kids 2 64)- priced 19.95 – payed 5

I was told by a collector that Snobow Kids was one of the rarest, if not THE rarest, 64 game in Japan.

Are any of these games worth hunting for as a collector? I’m considering saving up bookoo amounts of cash between now and May (the next CCAG) to haggle with that vendor again for more of them (There were Endless ammounts, truly a sight).

  1. Call a spade a spade says:

    the only one was really worth anything is Orge Battle, great game, small release and high demand, the first Snowboard Kids is too (not sure about Snowboard Kids 2 though), but the great thing about collecting video games is that the value of a game is really up to the collector them self, if collecting Japanese 64 games is something you’re into doing, then they all should be of high value (and vice versa), but if you’re into it for the money, you should choose something other than video games. Check out the collecting site racketboy.com lots of great info for different system’s games
