Your top 50 includes Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic CD, Sonic 1, Sonic Adventure, Sonic and the Secret Rings, and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. Sonic 2 is easily the king of the Sonic Empire, and you’ve left it out entirely. Strange. Especially since you’ve included the crapfest Sonic and the Secret Rings. And the Olympic Games.

I see your point, but I’ve never been a massive fan of Sonic 2; something about it just doesn’t stick with me, I don’t know why. I have stacks of great memories of Sonic and the Secret Rings, which I thought was far better than perhaps it had any right to be, and the Olympic Games was something new and fun for Sonic that I thought was very well done, though I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea (and the Winter one is loads better).

If I were to put Sonic 2 in, it would probably land in the mid-20s somewhere.

This list’s just asking for prices. Cos it’s what I do best :\ ….

Prices mostly taken from igpc.inaudible.co.uk (the dreamcast section is near complete, the rest need a lot of work). I’ve inserted console + current median sale price on eBay, some of the older stuff is priced for cartridge only. PD Saga wins, Columns fails, etc etc.

Thanks for that list, Christopher! Nice to see I bought most of these games for less than they now retail for! Shocked to see Shining Force III so cheaply though – I guess that’s based on the Japanese price though.

Interesting stuff though mate. See you soon!

Good Lord, I paid £34.99 for mine at launch! I’ll never get rid of it though 😀
