The 50 most valuable retro games

Ranked by what a complete-in-box copy of the Japan version actually sells for, from cleaned sold listings, with loose and sealed alongside. Only prices backed by enough sales make the list, so one lucky sale can't top it. Collector variants are tagged; consoles and accessories are left out.
