I bought Kula World for the PSX a few months ago for almost $142! Even though it cost me a lot of money, it was totally worth it since I had been looking for that game for ages.

Castlevania SOTN that i bought on ebay to a high price (100 euros) fall of 2005. Closely second position Vandal Hearts cost me 70 euros. Useless to say i spent 80 euros for GH + guitar bundle in a shop.

I have GH3, but I didn't buy it, that was a present.

As far as I remember, it was the first PS2 game that I got; Gungriffon Blaze. It cost me 50 Pounds and was amazing for those days, although it was very hard for a 8/9 year old.

It really depends on what would you consider as expensive: just the amount of money you've spend on a single game, or buying a game which has highly increased from it's original value.

For example I have bought several Arcade PCBs worth over €200, yet under their price range they wouldn't really be considered as expensive.

I guess the most expensive game I've bought was Dracula X for the Turbo Duo. It cost me around US$140 + S&H back in 1998.

Grand Theft Auto IV $120 (Australian)

But, there are games out there, that I want badly enough to spend a hell of alot of money on. For example; the Ocarina Of Time Master Quest disc.

In my case, it's probably my Steel Battalion set, which cost US$165 at the time I bought it. It can be acquired much more affordably now, though, much to my chagrin...then again, that's probably a signal for me to pick up a second set for my second Xbox!

I hate to sound like an ass, but why would you spend that much on a game?

I've paid about 100$ for Lunar I&II for the Sega CD. I don't consider it really expensive, though.

I've always liked my bargins and usually avoid buying brand new games, I don't see the point anymore, I wait a month or so until they're cheaper or until a 2nd hand one is available.

My most expensive game was premier manager 1998 for 50 pounds.

Gosh, I bought that game for 5 bucks at gamestop last month. I feel guilty.

Most expensive game I bought was Killer Instinct+soundtrack (SNES), which was pretty common in America, but ultra rare here (paid it about $100, thieves).

If you have a Nintendo DS, you can get Chronotrigger for about $40.  Just telling you in case. My most expensive game I bought was Jump Ultimate Stars, worth somewhat more than $42.

The most expensive games I thijnk I bought are Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy (Xbox) and Heart of the Alien: Out of this World 2 (SCD). GTA was $40 at Circuit City and Heart of the Alien was about $39 on ebay. Both were brand new and sealed. Yeah, I know I'm cheap lol.

i don't know how reply you if you take a look to castlevania SOTN on ebay you see that it is not much different today than some year ago. Certainly then it was a game i wished mostly because i lost this gem when before released. i can't regret it, i think that belongs to the bottom of my current top ten. if you look my collection you see i have no many games mainly because i think life is too much short to spend overtime with games. however from games i get much fun and i play NES today too.
