Your guide to the rising world of retro prices

HOW MUCH?!

MIKE CLARKE’S AMIGA

The ex-Psygnosis staffer had a bit of

a clear out recently, selling numerous

items, including his Amiga 3000. His

Amiga 1200 was even more popular,

eventually selling for £565.55. Wow!

THE COVER STAR YOSHI’S ISLAND

This late release for the SNES does not come

cheap. The player’s choice edition in the red box can fetch over £60

while the standard version of the game goes for around £40 or £700

for a factory-sealed copy. Alternatively you can just get a Japanese copy

for the game for around the £15 mark.

HEAD OVER HEELS

Interest in Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond’s classic game is certainly

rising. We’ve seen an Erbe variation of the ZX Spectrum version sell

for over £60 , while the standard big box version is around £30. The

C64 disc version can earn you as much as £25 , while the Atari 8-bit

version costs around a tenner. The Amiga and Atari ST versions can be

picked up for just over a fiver.

LASER SCOPE

If you’re desperate to play the likes of Duck Hunt with Konami’s peripheral

you’ll be looking at spending a minimum of £65 for the privilege.

SKITCHIN’

Despite being a Mega Drive exclusive, Electronic Arts’

skateboarding game is surprisingly cheap, with a complete copy

rarely costing more than £12.

TENCHU: STEALTH ASSASSINS

Another moderately-priced game to look out for.

The Pal version won’t cost more than £10 , while

the US alternative is roughly double that price.

HYPER DUEL

We’ve seen complete versions of

Technosoft’s shooter sell for as much as

£550. Even a used copy with no spine

will cost a minimum of £300!

BBC MICRO

Acorn’s most popular 8-bit computer is starting to go for good

money, with unboxed versions selling for between £60 and

£110. Boxed copies can fetch close to £300.
