From the NES to the PlayStation 5, Switch and Xbox, rare video games outlasted Crypto and NFTs and that's hilarious. More specifically, BAD Video Game's have gone increased in value dramatically and the idea of Action 52 being half a grand is hilarious. BUT ALSO TRUE.

Rare and Expensive Video Games are BACK... but this time they're of a COMPLETELY BAD VARIETY! Y'all have asked me to dig up that garbage enough, here you go. Do the thing and play these but don't buy em u know what i'm sayin?
GIVE ME A VIDEO SUGGESTION, I'M GOING ON VACATION AND I DON'T WANT TO THINK FOR A FEW WEEKS.
ALSO BRUSH YOUR TEETH.
Just curious, you mentioned you use it to watch wrestling, does that mean you have a WWE Network account going? I tried to do that a few years ago but they banned my account after a couple months because my billing address on PayPal was still in the US. Just curious if it works now because Peacock sucks 😂 enjoy your vacation!
Love It austineruption Bro.
Pick one game as your favourite from each year
Warframe sucks bruhv.
I could actually see you easily pulling off a bearded Daredevil, Austin. That would be awesome, to be honest :D
The funny thing about fight for life was that it was an unfinished phototype. The original creator keep the finish version until he was fully paid, which the people of Atari refuse to do.
So they took his Alpha version and made that game the official
And people like to pretend that unfinished games being released is only a thing these days. There's more unfinished games than back then but there's more gamers and video games being made than ever before. It's a similar story with Pac Man on the Atari 2600. Atari was literally filled with rushed unfinished stinkers.
@@Gatorade69 this literally goes as far back as the og E.T. videogame, the only dev having to crunch to release a kickstarter-tier game
@@D0NU75 I think Pac Man on the 2600 came out before ET. AFAIK the developer showed them what he had already and they went "Oh that looks good, ship it" when it was still a work in progress and yeah, ET basically started the video game crash.
@@Gatorade69 publishers, publisher never change
@@Gatorade69 ET didn't start the crash per se, it was more like the final nail in the coffin.
Fight for Life actually IS an unfinished prototype. Atari refused to pay Francois (mostly because they couldn't), so he withheld the final version in the hopes that Atari wouldn't be stupid enough to release an earlier build.
You right about that, I seen that on Larry Bundy's Fact Hunt series, it's pretty wild and basically symbolizes the end of Atari Consoles from there cause things just got worse.
wow... Atari is soooo fucking greedy as hell!
So that finial build is somewhere, or by now just deleted?
@@M644theawesome I think Francois might've leaked it onto the internet at some point
Atari basically learned nothing from E.T., then
The other fun thing about Wild Woody is it contained actual nudity in it. You had to unlock the game's debug mode and then perform a series of obtuse actions with it on a specific level to make the mermaid sketch topless. Definitely not worth paying hundreds of dollars for, but it is something that would definitely not be possible to sneak into a game nowadays.
Even earlier on the Genesis there was a code for nudity in Rings of Power, an early game by Naughty Dog. I remember in 7th grade, back in 1997, a friend of mine rented the game solely for that reason.
I mean God of War had it
Wow that's soo cool man, are you still 9?
The interesting thing about this code is that it, and some codes for other old games, went unnoticed and undocumented at the time of its release. It wasn't until 2003 that this obscure easter egg was published for the first time in issue 100 of Tips & Tricks magazine.
that The Crow game looks like someone asked an AI to try and recreate Resident Evil
Far worse, sadly...
@@alessandrobaggi6129perfect weapon was a similar attempt and it's just as bad.
I love the walking animation in The Crow, he walks like Green Dog on the Genesis. It just looks so hilariously bad.
Ya based on an A.I. created sequel to The Crow.
Brandon Lee and Thuy Trang, RIP. The game is a sad legacy.
I got my copy of Sculptor's Cut for $35. They mislabeled it as a copy of 63 1/3. Back then the game loose was only $300, not it's more like $1,200.
Nice find.
Back in 2010 I bought a sega saturn lot that included a model 1 system and like 20 CIB games, and 2 arcade sticks for $50
@@poncho828kid that isn't anything special
dude you hit the nail on the head. i've been collecting for over two decades at this point and it has always floored me the prices some really rare and really terrible games bring in. back in the day it was bubble bath babes, cheataman 2 and action52 i made fun of... i am sad to see the list has grown dramatically. I always figured it is set collectors driving up these prices, as well as people who just want expensive stuff in their collection (which... wtf)
It's a little bit collectors but *speculators* have had a huge, negative impact on the hobby. Hedge fund nepo-babies coming into the space and buying up anything they can get their hands on with the explicit purpose of creating artificial scarcity and raising prices. Most reasonable collectors I know will look at most games and realize, hey, no, that price doesn't represent the value of that game and there is some outside factor forcing up the price. They've also stopped collecting entirely, leaving speculators to just trade between each other till this bubble eventually bursts. The last decade has been really depressing to see the hobby get wrecked like this.
People just being a jerk as usual especially those channels where they hype up bad games to the point that those games seem worth getting.
The collector's market for everything has been terrible since 2020. Bots and scalpers rule the land...
@@BriarcastlePlaysLook up Karl Jobst's video on WATA games if you haven't seen it. Seems a bit shady.
@@Gatorade69 I saw it! Karl did a fantastic job on that video. And sadly I'd wager its a much more common practice among speculators than just companies like WATA. Thank you for taking the time to recommend it though! It's definitely a video people should check out if they enjoy collecting.
I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 12 in 1997, and Packy and Marlon was a free mail-in consolation offer from my endocrinologist office. You'd basically kill the characters by eating too much, and I foolishly traded it in to Funcoland for $13 store credit in the early 2000s
Crow "City of Angels," the movie, was drastically hacked up by the studio, destroying the story in a retroactive attempt to turn it into something marketable. It might have been good before getting fucked over, as it was directed by a very creative guy who did a lot of famous videos for The Cure and other bands.
The original ending had Tim staying on earth because he choose Sarah, which is why the ending feels off. Still it was still awesome seeing Judah being dragged to hell, I mean that's what he gets for executing such a plan on the day of the dead.
It was going in a good direction... until a certain Weinstein showed up.
apparently the original cut of the film was seen on pay--per-view at one point, here's hoping some lost media hunters find someone who taped it.
I mean yes but I also don't think the version we could of gotten would of been better. Case in point the ending when he chose Sara. I mean while that's nice he found love I just find it infuriating that now his son is just there alone in the afterlife cause he dad found a partner. Like the whole point was to reunite with his son but at the end its like screw that.
GoodBadFlicks video on Crow: City of Angels explains most of everything you need to know on what happened with the movie. Because there is alot.
For those who want more information on the history of the guy game and several of the fighting games mentioned in the video, the channel Matt McMuscles has long form videos on each of those games.
I was just rewatching The Worst fighting game yesterday so Brutal and Fight for Life are fresh on my mind. I believe Matt and Austin are friends.
Yep, it reminded me of Matt. Gonna check out the most recent The Worst Fighting Game after this vid
To this day, I still hear “I HAVE SEEN THE AMATEUR AND IT IS YOU” in the halls of his fight pit, months after a single 1D20 roll ended expect no mercy’s reign
Some background about Urban Yeti. I knew a guy who was involved in the studio that made that game. They went by both RUNANDGUN studios and Cave Barn Studios. From what I gather these dudes were into some weird absurdist stuff. At one point they were working on a game called Duelin' Fireman that never got released. It was an FMV game featuring Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo and famous LSD proponent Timothy Leary. I think they were also very into the Church Of The Subgenius. I think my friend worked with them at some point on a surfing game.This was like 25 years ago, so I am not sure if I am remembering things right.
I remember watching the Urban Yeti speedrun at AGDQ... The screaming every time the Yeti's face appeared was hilarious!
I can imagine something like The Town With No Name one day ending up stupidly expensive. I've managed to snag a sealed copy for around $30.
I hate the retro market but I was able to manipulate it as a kid when prices weren't as easily available. I'd buy rare games and sell them for almost a $80+ profit. Helped keep me, my siblings, and my parents fed when mom was going through cancer and dad had his knee give out.
Being 12 was rough.
That fucking sucks, but you're a damn good person.
Bro you better not be Lance armstronging us. Because awww 😢
Bullshiiiiiiit
What's even crazier is that the Guy Game was made by Jeff Spangenberg, the founder of Retro Studios. As in Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze Retro Studios, he apparently got fired by Nintendo for wasting company time and money on his own porn site.
I had every horror game on ps2 back in the day including Rule of Rose and Kuon and ended up trading them in for like $4 in credit at GameStop and now they are worth over 1K…….man I wish I still had all those games, I had over 100 ps2 games.
Wild Woody looks like a fever dream that a kid would have after taking a test.
I recently put my pirate hat on and played the crow. I rented it as a child and thought it was awesome. Nostalgia is real.
I remembered a few weeks ago that Crest toothpaste made a few maze games that they distributed with their toothpaste in the mid-2000s.
There isn't any footage or images of them online and barely any evidence they exist.
The only other people who seem to remember are those on the Tip Of My Tongue subreddit.
I have a racecar and rocket ship version of the games somewhere in my house after I moved, so I'd like to get them backed up cause there are technically a part of gaming history even if a brief and minor one.
I played a few different PC games from Crayola, Kleenex and meow mix in the early 00s, simple fun for my offline windows 95 PC (I still have them)
So Fight for life IS actually the unfinished prototype. When they went to grab the original to publish the game and make copies they grabbed the alpha version before all had been completed. Apparently the creator states the full game has a completely different feel to it and we’ll never get to see it, As the beta version was never published. Can’t imagine it’s much better…But it’s possible that the jaguar could’ve stayed around a year longer with the proper build….nah who am I kidding. It’s the freaking jaguar dude
The American release of Dragon Ball GT on the PS1 should get honorable mention. It was terrible and dropped out of print very quickly, but for a long time it was the only Dragon Ball game available in the US which pushed its used price at Funcoland into the triple digits even during the PS1's lifecycle.
really ? i have a copy of a 2d dbz game on the ps1 that looks like it was made on a tg 16
@@MrNightshade2010 DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 (a 2d fighter originally released in Japan in 1995) was actually first released on the PS1 in North America in 2003. Final Bout was also re-released around that time. Keep in mind that Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 was already out on the PS2 at this point, so these were really confusing releases lol.
So funny thing. I actually know someone at where I work who has that Rex Ronan game. I work at a museum and it was set up as an exhibit for a while for people to check out. Unfortunately, people who visited kept treating the SNES it was attached to poorly and so it was removed, which was a shame, because it was actually kind of interesting.
Ah yes, The Guy Game. 10 year old me use to stare at the box at Blockbuster every Friday night and workshop ways to trick my Dad into renting it...I was never brave enough to actually try 😂
That game got rightfully torn apart by everyone because at that point you could see all that kind of content on the internet.
Played this at college while drunk.
thank goodness you didn't rent it. it's technically illegal to own.
@@polocatfan I think the more pressing issue is a 10 year old renting a porn game. lol
What's even crazier is that the game was made by Jeff Spangenberg, the founder of Retro Studios. As in Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze Retro Studios, he apparently got fired by Nintendo for wasting company time and money on his own porn site.
If I rememebr right, "Fight for Life" WAS an unfinished demo that Atari released rather than pay the developer money they owed him to get the finished version from him.
Hey, that "Super Pad 64 Pus" actually works quite well for games like Jet Force Gemini! especially if you're used to modern controllers
Sculptor's Cut is a pretty decent game when you get into it, but not worth the price it goes for these days. I remember when it was only $30! Almost made a RUclips video on how weird it was that it was so cheap back in the day. THAT changed obviously. Good thing I bought two! Although one thing that keeps being glossed over is the "boxed" part. Since this was a Blockbuster exclusive, that meant that you could only get it either by winning a contest or by buying the game when Blockbuster clearenced them out...wherin you would just get the cartridge and MAYBE a tattered instruction book. So yeah, BOXED Clayfighter Sculptor's Cut being obscenely rare makes sense.
Urban Yeti is actually game created by members of a Joke cult called The Sub Genius. A huge fandom in like the 70s of people worshiping a slacker businessman and claiming we all descended from yetis.
@RebelTaxi Holy shit, I haven't heard the words "Church of the Sub Genius" since high school. A friend of mine (who sadly recently passed) would talk about them from time to time. Talk about a dropkick down memory lane there. Thanks for that.
Well at least it’s better than Flanders hearsay in that one simpsons episode denying the evolution of man kind.
There have been so many games over the years of collecting that I've seen for STUPID prices and can only wonder "who the hell is actually going to pay for this". Great idea for a video Austin!
You'd have to be a turbo nutter to spend that kind of money on these kinds of games.
Easy people with more money than sense that absolutely have to have a full set, even if it means spending way too much for some crap that is just going to sit on the shelf.
Urban Yeti's price might have gone up a little due to speed-running. It's been featured in the Awful Games Done Quick block at GDQ events, and it seems really popular amongst viewers.
What about weird rare limited edition's for games that were sold in small batches or given away. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves [Fortune Hunter Edition] (Playstation 3) came with a dagger and none of those editions were sold by Sony or Naughty Dog
I'm sure that is just the very top of a much larger iceberg. I would love to know about more stuff like that.
Everytime I see The Guy Game, I think of those completionist collectors, do they complete their PS2 collection, or avoid having to introduce themselves to all of their neighbours next time they move.
It baffles me that some of these games are more expensive than some rare games that are actually good. Things like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties may be dumb, but at least people would get some joy out of it, can’t really say the same for the rest of these.
You missed the newest one shooting up in value WTF games.
Barbie Groom & Glam Pups 3DS.
Loose it sells over $1,000. Complete it’s about $3,500
Reminds me of the Hannah Montana Wii hack hoax.
Wasn’t “Urban Yeti” developed or supported through The Church of the Sub-Genius? Am I remembering that correctly
The worst part about sculptors cut is sure it has more characters but they cut content from the original to do it lmao. And bro at the end, The “turbo nutter” with the hot anthropomorphic character is hilarious lol
"why did this [garfield] only come out in europe?" - *shows an auction for the japanese version*
Based Austin for giving a shout-out to retro-game preservationist Vimm!!!
From my perspective Contract J.A.C.K. suits this very well. Comparing to any other game by Monolith Productions (even Blood II: The Chosen) this game is just broken by design... and well, buying it is borderline impossible (good luck trying to get good offer). Hell, if even Creative Director of this game says something like "I hope no one will uncover who owns this game", than you know what you are dealing with.
Seriously? I bought that game on PC over a decade ago, had no idea it was so rare.
Honestly hate how expensive collecting is nowadays, especially with bad games. Probably my favourite example is a Barbie Hair Salon game on 3DS, it had a DS version that goes for around $6 CIB but because the 3DS version was low-print & only in my home country Canada, it's going on eBay for around $2000. Now thankfully nobody has bought it for that much, the last sold copy (from my knowledge) on eBay was for $80 which is still too much for a horrible kids game that's probably the reason many girls never played another videogame again, yet the scalpers on eBay seem to believe that people will actually pay multiple thousands for what equants to a terrible game. The fact of the matter is that many people side with them because "supply & demand" but nobody is demanding a bad 3DS game because they want to play it, & yes the supply is low but at the same time the game shouldn't be valued strictly on it's scarcity but also it's quality. With Clayfighter: Sculpter's Cut being so expensive you'd assume it's at least tolerable, but it's atrocious & something nobody would ever play unironically, yet it's scarcity brings it's value way up.
Sad thing is that games that did sell well are going up too, Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast is the bestselling game on the console with over 2 million units shipped, yet a CIB copy is valued at $80 CAD now, which is absurd for something that genuinely sold well even compared to today's standards. Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart: Double Dash! & Super Smash Bros. Melee also suffer from the same fate, all being system sellers for the Gamecube yet still retaining values as high as $60 - $100 CAD for CIB copies which is bonkers. It's at the point where I feel there should be some staff intervening on eBay or possibly some government intervening, because this once enjoyable & inexpensive hobby is now more expensive than buying cars.
Yikes. I paid like five bucks for the complete PAL release of The Crow for the Saturn last year. It.. Is not even worth that.
I don't have any of these in my collection, but I do have "Golf Magazine Presents 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples" for the 32X and the name alone makes it worth owning, doesn't matter how it plays. 😆
I thought that gameplay and UI in The Crow: City of Angels looked familiar. It turns out the same developers had released a game called Perfect Weapon just three months prior, which I had unfortunately owned as a kid. That game also operated on tank controls, played like ass, and IIRC had a UI that was about the same as The Crow. The company must've been in some trouble at the time because, according to Wikipedia, these two games are the last ones they completed before shutting down.
Jose Carioca as a referee is absolutely golden.
Also, thank you for providing dedicated subtitles on this video.
Turbo Nutter is now a part of my daily vocabulary
7:31 That boat looks like a face. Two eyes, Guy Fieri hair, and a mask like Sub-Zero.
Back when i could afford retro game collecting, I actually bought games that I had the intention of playing, AKA good games. Now old bad games cost too much and old good games cost WAY too much!
Ninten-Drew's handheld Virtual Boy mod is pretty sweet. I'd love to try Wario Land on it.
$800 for Panzer Dragoon Saga? I wish!
34:12 Ok, after seeing people's reaction to Super Mario Bros. Wonder I'm convinced people who are weirded out by cartoon characters inflating in a non-sexual way MUST be projecting.
These things lead me to believe the people who price these things don't actually play videogames and only care if it's rare, regardless of why it's rare.
I remember learning about The Guy Game from Cow Chop and just thinking "why does this even exist?"
Also that comment about Halloween was spot on, not only is it my partner's favorite holiday but I also have to find the latest guy with a beard to dress as 😂
the opening hits hard. I worked at funcoland as teenager and when gamestop came and bought us out, they had us open up the sealed nes, snes, gen, etc. that we kept behind the counter so they can go in the bins on the floor. I miss those days lol
you have to think about what games will be rare to find as time goes on as some more modern games could get the rare treatment. example like devils third for the wii u
I remember Wild Woody and the legendary Great Eight Bit Bate Grape Escape!
19:07 None of Wisdom Tree's games were officially licensed by Nintendo. Color Dreams who were already producing unlicensed games pivoted into creating Christian games specifically to avoid the retail blacklisting from Nintendo.
That Winamp sound byte put me in a nostalgic coma.
The footage from you talking about Spirits and Spells low key unlocked a memory from when I was a child. I swear I've rented that from a video store at one point.
"How do you go and make a Beast Wars Transmetals video game without Dinobot?"
Because by the time the game was released, he was no longer in the Beast Wars cartoon.
he also forgot to mention that none of the beast wars games were released in europe/uk and as such are highly sort after by both game and transformers collectors over here which pushes the price up
I had a chance to buy a copy of Cheetahmen 2 from that ebay listing from the guy who found them in a storage unit auction and I kick myself daily for not doing it.
Man Beast Wars Is such a blast from the past
18:09 is that Super Eyepatch Wolf ?? LUL
Honestly, the Crow: City Of Angels has a really dope movie soundtrack. The music used in those first 2 Crow movies are some of the best things about the franchise.
True
Wow, the starshot video was 9 years ago?! Didn't realize I've been watching your content for nearly a decade, it's only gotten better too! Much love Austin keep being great and making great stuff!!! :)
Well, i guess i learned today that Urban Yeti is real.
Boy I'm so glad I said "it's too quiet" and a new Eruption video is out, bless.
A lotta of these rare video games are I literally never heard of lol.
I had Urban Yeti as a kid, got it at the store (maybe it was used? but I don’t think so), and it was one of my most-played games alongside River City Ransom EX, THPS 2, and ChuChu Rocket. Like all of those games, it had so much replay value because I just got a kick out of fucking around in it.
So, if the Angry Video Nerd has reviewed it, it's expensive.
GoodBadFlix just recently put out a video covering Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. It actually has a really interesting story behind the scenes of it, and Cecil actually interviewed a few people behind the production!
I love the call outs to Harvest moon 64 and Starcraft 64. 2 games that I rented repeatedly and influenced my taste in gaming to this day.
I didnt expect to see a DNAngel reference today
fun fact the creators of urban yeti were part of, and heavily connected to the church of the sub-genius joke cult, hence why it's about yetis …no i will not explain what the cult had to do with yetis, i don't really know myself.
A certain Lonely Goomba should be very happy you mentioned Urban Yeti.
I just wanna take this moment to appreciate the editing, 'Nuff Said🤣🤣🤣
10:59 dude that analogy doesnt work cause that sounds awesome
I always enjoy your videos, Austin. Looking forward to seeing more.
Those Woody cutscenes are pure nightmare fuel
virtual boy wasnt all that bad, I'd play Mario tennis for hours and all I got were terrible head splitting migraines and temporary color blindness
I got captain novolin about 2 years after getting type 1 diabetes as a 9 year old. It's wild how different type 1 diabetes is managed today, making this totally outdated. It never mentions insulin pumps nor glucometers despite both being available and widely used in the early 1990's. Luckily, boxed, it costs about 1 bottle of insulin.
The winamp joke and sound clip earned a subscribe!
0:54 Ok but bad example. Wild Woody goes hard...literally 🤧
i totally misread and thought this was regarding Rare the company. was confused at first, but still golden.
Good 'ol buddy Vimm lmfao.
18:53 you gotta be kidding me! Lol
0:25 about that, I watched a similar show to that from Sweden. A family had an arcade cabinet of a Swedish game that never really came out on for that very machine as it wasn't very good and has never been archived at the time the episode was aired. So... It's really rare and important to document, right?
Well... The hosts valued it as 200 sek as they don't know a lot about video games.
hello Austin these "Digital atrocities" are better forgotten and buried and Happy Halloween
I have that Disney Sport's Basketball game in my collection. I got it at a going out of business Hollywood Video sale for like 5 bucks.
dude WinAmp skins... you just made me feel old bro
I grabbed a used, yet complete Transformers: Beast Wars - Transmetals for the N64 at Blockbuster back in May 2003 for $4.99. Same day I bought my first two Gamecube games: Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime. Mind you, I didn't own an N64. I just wanted it because I was a big Beast Wars fan. Ended up going to GameStop the next weekend and getting a used N64 with two controllers for $20. I also grabbed the PS1 version at Walmart for $19.99 the week it launched.
I came across a copy of The Guy Game at Gamestop during their PS2 fire sale of 2012-2013. I think it was 99¢, but it might have been closer to $2. Humorously, a lot of people seem to get the finer details of why the Guy Game was pulled from stores wrong. It wasn't because it featured nudity of an underage participant, but because the underage participant lied about her age and was not legally old enough to sign away the use of the footage.
11:05 That's not fair, some albums are improved by the lofi sound of cassette! :p
The longer I've been subscribed. The more happy I am to see an upload
I legit loved Fun n' Games for the Genesis. I would spend hours playing with stickers and making up little stories.
$131 to get TURBO NUTTED!? I don’t know Austin sounds like a win win, no? 😜🤣
He's a lonely Goomba stuck between two pipes playing Urban Yeti for the rest of his life.
the only people i can see buying these games that aren't completely crazy are rom archivists
The "Taco-Man Plays A Video Game" episode about "Captain Novolin" is hysterical.
Haha when you were talking about Spirits and Spells, I thought Jersey Devil right away, then you said it 😂
I absolutely loved that black oblong for Superpad 64 controller, I had big hands for a child so that controller was perfect for allowing me to reach all the buttons without repositioning my hands.
Apparently Maurice Sendak was involved with Spirits & Spells? I can't find anything about it online but I do remember hearing his name mentioned in regards to the game at some point. Also it had the same developer as the Nightmare Creatures games???
The best joke of the video is when he said you could ever buy Earthbound for $15 lol
