Nice Collection! =)

Gamecube games are really starting to go up a lot in price. They are still far from the NES and SNES era in prices.

I do have a GC collection worthy of a few thousand dollars, I dont know how the market of GC is in the US but in Sweden I think the most expensive game is Four Swords which is probably around 100$ at this point. For the big pack in nice condition you are looking at 200-250$.


I was not into Japanese centric games(Basically Square and Enix) in the SNES era so many of the most valueable ones I dont have, but I still have DKC 1-3, Super Mario World, Mario Kart, NBA Jam, and a handfull of other. I wish I still had F-zero and pilotwings, no idea where they went.

Hmmmm the joys of having been a nerd as a kid, I still have my Secret of Mana lovely boxed copy with the cool map, Illusions of Time and Secret of Evermore all nicely boxed together. As for the OP I loved the GC era, have close to 180 games for it think the rarer ones being EU MGS Twin snakes and a Sealed copy of Zelda Collectors edition disk ( the majoras mask/Ocarina of time gc disk) I just have both those games on the N64 (boxed still ofc) so I never bothered to unwrap it when I found a GC copy.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

OMG. So jelly. I play SOM in the early 2000s (emulation) and it blew me away. Back in like 03 the graphics were still gorgeous. Secret of Mana 2 remains to this day my favorite Square game. Yes. Over all their other classics.

When all is said and done though.. the worth of the game is not what it's about. If it was, I would have sold my collection a long time ago. I collect games because I love games, not because of they might go up in worth ten years down the road (except for Stadium Events, I did sell my Stadium Events because it's a crap game and it was just standing there on the shelf being worth a crap load of money). Several of those SNES games you have are some of the funniest on the system and that is all what counts =)

Did you ever play Evermore or Illusions of Time (eu)/ Gaia (us)? Both have absolutely amazing campaigns and Illusions was one of the first games I seen a character getting killed.... and another commiting suicide before you based on something you done. Was pretty fkin dark at times.

played Secret of Evermore, Gaia, and recall seeing Illusions of Time but never played it. Late SNES to Mid PS1 were truly the golden age of RPGs.

Evermore is one of the best games of the SNES in my opinion. The late release made it a pretty unknown game, imo a superior solo experience than Secret of Mana 1 and 2.

Gaia and Time are the same game.

Makes sense. I played all of these 2002-2004 on emulators. So I get confused on naming sometimes because sometimes they use the Western name and sometimes the Eastern name. Its gets even more confusing you have the eastern version translated again so it has the eastern name with English text.

Oh yeah they're just the Eu name and US name for the game, I'm from Ireland so a lot of the time people don't know the game I mean if I say I own a boxed copy of Illusions of Time.
