some of you may remember me playing around on ebay and got that Castlevania Dracula X cart for 118$. as soon as someone overpays for a game it goes up. theres a Castlevania Dracula X nib going for 6200$ lol its not even vga graded. i was prepared to pay 150$ for it easily back then.

i got The Trolls In Crazyland (pal game) for like 50$ or so i think.

so many people are still discovering old games they never knew existed. obscure games are rising and re sellers will always find that one game most people never knew they wanted. another one will probably be Growl for Genesis. as collectors eat up the sought after games, the sellers are pulling out the next 'rare game'. what i think is happening is the sellers are looking for the next game to raise prices on because everyone knows about all the 'common rares' and they are trying to keep the ball rolling. ive been good at predicting this behavior, and to be honest i knew kid klown was next. i always look up my rare or expensive games and it never stops amazing me how they shot up in value right after i got them. Overall, it's just not worth the money at picked the taito games up right before they started getting crazy with the prices, the prices i payed were already kind of high and ive been watching them ever since. for the entire game, but I could be confused there. I think you also had a life bare and only one life. That sounds cool and all, but there's so much slowdown, the level design of even the first level (which I could never beat after a bazillion tries) was awful, and some of the weapons weren't very useful IIRC. There were 4 guys you could choose from, and upgradable weapons for that are different for each character. The gameplay wasn't just different, it was terrible. It kinda reminded me more of Metal Slug than Contra.

I didnt like it iirc the game play was different than other Contra and SUper C. Originally it was suppose to be a game called Arc Hound but for some reason it was cancelled in Japan and Konami decided to release it in NA as Contra Force (probably thinking it would sell better with the Contra name rather than the Arc Hound name). You deal with terrorists rather than aliens. So, I just saw this sealed copy of Contra Force up for sale $7500! Anybody played this game? If so, how is it?

Contra nes expensive
