Just how rare are some of those older games? I mean, most people know about PowerSlave for the PC, and the only PC copy I've ever seen on eBay is this pricey bub. Even the PSX copies call for a pretty penny. But who decides this stuff? Sealed is nice, but does it warrant $350 dollars? I can't see how, unless it's the only Big Box of the game ever released anyways (And that it's otherwise hard to find the art, and in truth that's ll I'd buy it for).

But then there's all those D!Zone cds and boxes people sell for $50 plus because, why? Because it's a bunch of crappy wads for Doom? And Doom is old, which means it must be worth a lot of money! And I'm talking the cool Shovel Ware's with interesting art, but D!Zone boxes with screenshots on the box or poor looking shopped stuff that displays a proto-Doom 64 screenshot.

And then games like Chasm: The Rift, which fared better than PS critically, but was just about as hard to find: Whenever that shows up, even complete in the box it's dirt cheap compared to some of this other stuff.

Sometimes I wonder if the price is justified, like Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, where even a poor looking PS2 copy has a forty dollar price tag in a modern Game Stop. I guess because it's the only JP game that's a park building sim? A damn good one, too. I dunno, ranting about god knows what.
