Most you paid for an adventure game

Tobbe · 09-14-2005, 11:57 PM

So? I´ve paid ca. 25euro..

Fop · 09-15-2005, 12:12 AM

50e when I bought something new, probably.

dazsin · 09-15-2005, 12:24 AM

£29.99 for Simon the Sorcerer when it first came out, same price for Escape from Monkey Island when it first came out. Most others have been £5-20.

Edit - least ive paid - 99p for Toonstruck!

Ninth · 09-15-2005, 12:48 AM

Most I've paid? Probably 60 euros. I frenquently buy new games.

EDIT: And least would be 1 euro for Zork Grand Inquisitor (new).

colpet · 09-15-2005, 03:37 AM

$185 CDN for Rhea DVD. I got it of of E-bay and wasn't going to be at home at the end of the auction. When I left it was $77. I put a max bid of $200 and was shocked to find out it almost went that high.
I definitely over paid for it, but over the years I got many bargains too.
C'est la vie!

Hehe.. that's pretty awesome. You got probably the joint number one greatest adventure game ever for 99p

Tetra-Loo · 09-15-2005, 06:33 AM

$73 for 3 Skulls Of The Toltecs, disk in jewel case only. Got it on Ebay.

ollie · 09-15-2005, 06:46 AM

In 1994 I paid the equivalent of 75 Euros for the first adventure game released on cd-rom (2 cd's actually) that I bought: The 7th Guest.

... if The 7th Guest can be considered as an adventure game...

CrimsonBlue · 09-15-2005, 07:26 AM

In 1992 I paid 365,- NOK for Monkey Island 2 on the Amiga. Which is about 58,- USD.

Considering this is 1992... I'd say it's quite expensive.

Richard · 09-15-2005, 07:33 AM

Under A Killing Moon, I think. It was pretty pricey on release, but I had to get a copy.

I know! I only bought it because it was 99p, thoroughly enjoyed it, best 99p i ever spent!!

MdaG · 09-15-2005, 07:52 AM

Most €67 for the longest journey.
Least €4 for black mirror

Maquisard · 09-15-2005, 08:14 AM

$15 for Broken Sword 3. Never actually played it though...

SakSquash · 09-15-2005, 08:42 AM

I paid $15 (about 12e, 8gpb) for Gabriel Knight 2.

MDMaster · 09-16-2005, 02:55 AM

I'd say 50E for The Curse of Monkey Island, the day it came out.
Less expensive, well 1 GBP (1,50 E) for Midnight Nowhere or the infamous Myst III for free.

Ninth · 09-16-2005, 04:11 AM

Hey, I think I'm still ahead of the least expensive with my 1 euro Zork Grand Inquisitor. (which I already owned...

)

Rodarbal · 09-16-2005, 04:11 AM

£29.99 for Curse of Monkey Island on the first day of release. Around the same amount for Grim Fandango and Syberia 2.

Kolzig · 09-16-2005, 05:44 AM

In about 1998 I bought Leisure Suit Larry collection for about 350 finnish marks, that's about 55€.

Cathy1 · 09-16-2005, 07:33 AM

I paid $80 (Canadian) for Escape from Monkey Island when it first came out.
I know that's crazy ecpecially when 4 weeks later I seen it at a second hand store for $4.99.

I'll have to think about this later when I'm in my game room but right off the top of my head:

$150 for Dune pop-up box edition. (really bought it for the soundtrack tho.)

$65 for boxes Secrets of Luxor.
