that the Master System version, they have more info on it at their site.

 



I wish I still had my copy of Sonic the Hedgehog.

There are probably only 10 of those games I have ever heard of.



I own Sonic the Hedgehog for the Master System...just the cartridge though, and it's in fair shape.

I remember owning Atlantis for the 2600 in kindergarten...if the second is so rare I doubt I owned that one hehe.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I have Panzer Dragoon Saga Pal complete and in best condition



for Sonic

'You would think that the headlining franchise from the console’s manufacturer would be extremely commonplace. After all, its not hard to find a cheap copy of Sonic for the Genesis or Super Mario Bros on the NES or SNES.

However, the US Sega Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog was a very low quantity late-release, and today commands the highest price of any game on the system. Think paying $200 for an 8-bit downgrade is steep? Consider that the only difference between this version and the common, $2 PAL version, is a UPC sticker pasted on the packaging! Since the Master System was region-free, Sega simply shipped the PAL extras to the US. It even has the multi-language manual!'



Wow ... and people are upset on the 55.99$ pricetag for PS3 games :P



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Wow I never realized it was worth anything...I only owned a Genesis, and I got a bunch of Master System games from a friend, because he was buying a Nintendo and figured I could use the games on my Genesis. I couldn't but I kept them anyway hehe.

Wow--I wanna play Pepsi Invaders XD

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
