£100 for Mario Allstars (Jap import) for the Snes but most other import games we bought cost around £60-£70. I did, for a while track down a few Gamecube games that I wanted and some cost a fortune lol but deffo worth it

Trades in at GAME; gets 25p

Think the highest I've paid was £64.99 for Jet Force Gemini on the N64

£55 for Eternal Champions on the Mega drive. Never spent that much again and never will. EC had its moments, but it wasn't worth that.

I saw a Wii game called Step to the Beat which looked fun but it was selling for about £70 because Konami stopped making it but then I looked again and the price had gone down to £20 so it must be adjusting to supply and demand.

Far Cry 3 as I got it in a supermarket at top price but as it was with Christmas money and I had only just got my ps3 I wasn't too bothered but I'd never usually spend that much.

Never really spent over £50 on a game, special editions etc don't really interest me. For me the most I've spent would be on WoW for the game expansions and subs, I dread to think what that came to over a couple of years!

It was worth it for Blade's stage music alone

Nah, it was good, I think that was the most I 'spent', although it wasn't me who bought it.

Probably Donkey Kong 64 paid about £60 but you did get the expansion pack in the package.

Spent a fair chunk on the GTA IV Limited Edition, think it was close to £70 at the time.

I didn't buy it, but I saw a boxed SNES version of Secret of Mana going for £59.99 in Gamestation ages ago. And didn't that game with the ludicrous controller (similar idea to MechWarrior, IIRC) cost like £80 new?

Most overall would be 5+ years of WOW expansions + sub.

I have also bought each of the three Mass Effect Games + DLC three times on 360, PC and PS3.

Think it would be StarFox 64, back in the day. Seem to remember it being £60 or £70 but came with a rumble pack...

£30 Everquest 2, and its expansions:
£120? 6 expansions
£15? 2 adventure packs
£35? in-game purchases
£600 total of 6-monthly subs (approx)

£800 total i spent on that game over 6 years, not bad value for over 10k hours worth of entertainment. Like £133/year, or 8 pence per hour.

Probably blops because I bought all the map packs and the zombie maps . I once sold a copy of vib ribbon ps1 for £55 and monkey island bounty pack for £70. I bought the bounty pack for a tenner so not too bad. But now I wish I had them back
