Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) Wow i maybe was to young to remeber the prices of the N64 games, or maybe i just bought them all second hand, I just found a copy if Extreme G, with the orginal price on...... ?59.99 OMFG!! and people are moaning about the PS3 prices. Although by looking at the front of the box, they are PS3 GFX I can remember a friend trading 3 N64 games and paying ?30 to get Banjo Kazooie when that was released. ________ Top penny stocks Edited April 28, 2011 by fex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 7, 2006 I remember once I was going to buy Perfect Dark + Expansion Pack but it was like £80 for both or something stupid like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 Hmm, with all the currencies (gulden here and then, euros here and now, pounds in the UK etc) I don't know if it's cheaper or more expansive these days.. I do remember realizing Super Mario 64 was cheaper then Super Mario Bros 3 was. ƒ 129,- and ƒ 149,- respectively, if I remember correctly. The last price also being the regular price for a new N64 game. About 3 gulden (guilders) used to convert to 1 pound, so say £ 50,-. I also remember a long time ago, seeing a Batman game for the NES selling for ƒ 180,- (£ 60,-). And I think I bought the N64 at launch for ƒ 499,-. Similar to the story above, it dropped ƒ 100,- not long after.. When a friend bought his . I didn't mind though. Personally I thought my N64 was well worth it.. And Conker's bad fur day was pretty expensive, also ƒ 180,- I think, but then again, it was pretty Rare (haha, whoei!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 ..I only remember the games being £39.99/£49.99 for the N64.. Donkey Kong 64 was £59.99 Which was only because Nintendo refused to make a version without the expansion pak (for the people who already had one) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2006 Which was only because Nintendo refused to make a version without the expansion pak (for the people who already had one) Was Yamauchi still the president at the time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 most i remember spending on a game on the N64 was donkey kong cause it had the expansion thing to go inside the console (cant remember the word now for it now) anyways that was £59.99 since then havent spent more then £39.99 for a game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 10, 2006 lets not talk about the price of steel battalion for the xbox at luanch or the current price of a boxed samba de amigo! I had Steel Battalion, played it once and they sold it on Ebay. I couldnt get into it so I thought sod it and boxed it back up. Least I can say I played it, not sure if thats a good thing or not though..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2006 Im sure Turok was originally £80-£90 when it first launched. Its funny now how you can pick most of these N64 games up on ebay or gamestation for about £2-£3 each! I've recently been going back and buying all the N64 games I didnt bother with back in the day because they were just too expensive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 They were expensive, which caused me at the time to buy a lot more ps1 games than n64 games. Which I now look back on and regret because the n64had many far better titles which were well worth the extra £10/20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 The most expensive game I remember seeing was Donkey Kong for £49.99 but it came with an expansion pak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 I can't remember Extreme G being that much, but I can remember Turok being £60+ on launch, but at the time it was revolutionary, It just felt so good, and looked truly amazing for it's time. Sadly the Turopk series never got any better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 I think Turok 2 ws pretty awesone. The graphics were amazing. I just remember it got a bit tiresome and the levels were too big. In the end i just gave up with this half way through. Still, this is probably the best Turok game that was realeased. Far better than Turok 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2006 Most expensive game for me was Donkey Kong 64, which cost me £59.99. It did come with an expansion pack, which was handy when i got Perfect Dark a couple of weeks later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
