Diablo II, Advanced order, with the AD&D rulebook, DVD extras, etc.

Probably Castle of Illusion, Starring Mickey Mouse. 
Eighty dollars in 1993.

Re: What's the most expensive game you ever had?
Star Fox I can understand - it had the Super FX chip, so you're paying $50 for the game and $20 for the hardware built into the cart. The others though? Damn. Did you live in the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere? Or were SNES games just that overpriced?Guardsman Bass wrote:I'm pretty sure both Super Mario World and Star Fox cost north of US$70 when my mom got them for us (we were little). But most expensive single game? Donkey Kong Country. If I recall correctly, it was something like $80-85 for that game alone.

I think around £45 for Wing Commander 3.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Steel Battalion for $150. Rock Band probably cost more but it was a Christmas present last year so it doesn't count.

I routinely leave a A$110 security deposit at the game rental shop too. Sometimes I don't take them back and I forfeit this security deposit, much to my chagrin.GuppyShark wrote:I've routinely paid >A$110 for new release PC titles.

Re: What's the most expensive game you ever had?
I recently paid €149,99 but now I can play Lord of the Rings Online for live. (It also was a bargain, got it cheaper because I pre-ordered the expansion, normal price for LTA is €249,99)
As a kid I only had a Gameboy, and I remember that Mystic Quest was pretty pricey, I think around 100,- DM back then. On PC, I absolutely "needed" the uncut version of Half-Life (the German version had robots for marines and similar bullshit), so I paid a lot of money for an UK version on eBay, but I really can't remember how much exactly.

Not so much the price of the stuff itself but more on Custom Tax for import
I'm pretty sure that's the most expensive game i ever purchased (with some vintage PC-FX games and Collectible edition of Idolm@ster)
i refrained myself from buying the Limited edition of the Otomedius G arcade Stick very recently.
