Expensive EU/JP Games<br />

RARE GAMES ARE ONE THING. The dedicated collector<br />

will eventually come across even the rarest title at<br />

a good price. The expensive titles, however, are the sole<br />

domain of those with a thick wallet. Following are a<br />

sample of the most pricey EU and JP releases, but, of<br />

course, there are many more than the ones we’ve listed<br />

here. Surgeons, lawyers and investment bankers should<br />

also take a look at, to list a few, Kula World (E),<br />

Castlevania Limited Edition (E), Ramna Battle Renaissance<br />

(J), Kaitou Apricot (J), Captain Commando (J),<br />

Harmful Park (J), Panzer Bandits (J), Taoplan Shooting<br />

Battle (J), and the numerous Japanese “limited edition”<br />

boxsets.<br />

Mortal Kombat II<br />

Japan | SLPS-00444 | 1996<br />

MORTAL KOMBAT II IS ARGUABLY the best fighter in<br />

the Mortal Kombat series. It is rather surprising that Acclaim<br />

released this game in Japan and not in the US. This<br />

could be attributed to the fact that Tekken and Battle Arena<br />

Toshinden were already on the market and showing off the<br />

extraordinary 3D capabilities of the PlayStation. For a 2D<br />

game on a 3D game system, Mortal Kombat II holds up<br />

fairly well. Graphics are crisp and the control is arcade-like.<br />

The one drawback to this Playstation port is that when finishing<br />

moves are performed, the game pauses in order to<br />

load in the data due to the PlayStation’s limited RAM. Mortal<br />

Kombat II was released in very limited quantities, so it is<br />

quite a collector’s item. This game often sells for over $100.<br />

Capcom Generations<br />

Europe | SLES-01881 | 1999<br />

EVER WONDERED WHAT CAPCOM did before such<br />

PlayStation hits as Dino Crisis and Street Fighter? Well here<br />

is your chance to own 4 CD’s packed with 13 of Capcom’s<br />

best classic games such as Ghouls n’ Ghosts, 1942, Commando<br />

and Gun Smoke. Enjoy arcade perfect conversions,<br />

browse galleries filled with original artwork and view special<br />

secrets and tips. This is the complete collection of classic<br />

Capcom games in a European exclusive pack. This title<br />

was slated for a US release but never came to fruition. In<br />

Japan, Capcom sold each CD separately. The English-language<br />

Euro version is in high demand; it sells for $30-$50.
