I'm talking about a solid 9/10 game that is just as good as a modern game. 

I mean, if you wanna consider the Wii retro I paid around $200 AUD for Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon a while back.
It turned out to not quite be a 9/10 banger, but I was curious.

Also paid quite a bit to have a custom cart of Starfox 2 made so I could play it on SNES, back before it came to NSO.

Thanks for reminding me why I need an SNES everdrive!

I reeeeeeeeeally wanted it back in the day but could not convince my dad to get it for me, but the Warcraft 3 Collector’s Edition. Game to this day is a 10/10 and my favorite game of all time. I would happily pay something like $200 for that game today. And I mean the game the way it released in 2002. Not the mess of a remake we got lol

You could get the game with a face of one of the playable factions on the cover. I would go with the Night Elf!
