Title: What's it worth?
Post by: Mathius on May 14, 2009, 05:37:57 AM: Hey guys! I stumbled across a factory sealed copy of Lords Of Thunder for $35 at my local retro game store. Out of curiosity how much do you think it's actually worth?

I am getting my Super System Card 3.0 sometime next week so I'll be able to confirm that statement :lol: Although I am sure you won't be wrong.

Post by: gekioh on May 15, 2009, 06:21:39 AM: You couldnt make a better choice there Mathius, i think $35 for one thats sealed is quite the deal to be honest especially in todays current market what with resellers and all marking prices up by as much as 300-400% especially for saled games. Plus the Duo version is better than Sega cd version as it doesnt seem to suffer from slowdown/loadtimes. The only downside is that it doesnt have the bit of voicework/sound effects that was left out of US release(on the Duo)but than left in for the Sega cd version. :-k

I actually have a Sega CD but after reading reviews on that version of LOT there is only one choice. Plus the Duo versions soundtrack is significantly clearer on the Duo.
