Fatal Run

[tz101]

A game store had it today for $34.99. Is that a reasonable asking price for this game?

 

AA rarity guide lists it as a 5.

Go down about $10 lower. I used to like Fatal Run but now I see it as a rather boring game.

Yea same here.

Well was it new MIB in the box or what?

Loose cart.

My near mint CIB copy only went for $20. But either way, I'd think $35 is too much for a loose Fatal Run. Especially if you're expecting a really good game. I'd pass on it for $5 even. Lame, boring game all_day_long IMO.

I wasn't big on it either. It has cool elements to it (password save, animated intros, and a great ending) but didn't find the game itself to be any fun.

I don't know about that. Yeah the game is rather boring, but passing up a copy for 5 bucks even loose would_ be_ crazy (IMO)

Fatal Run is great in my opinion! It is Roadblasters for the 7800. The shops are cool and I played it through in a week, so a little too easy... at the moment I play the A2600 version... also great... But I would say, 10-15 $ should be enough for a lose cartridge.

I need to pint that game store to this thread to educate them about appropriate pricing.

I just picked this up (loose) for $2.50 at a local games shop yesterday… tried it out for a minute - doesn't seem to bad - I'll give it more time soon though…

I'll give it more time soon though…

More time is exactly what makes it bad. At first you think it's alright, and then, a half hour later, you're still doing the exact same thing you did 30 minutes before with no noticeable change. A lot of wasted potential in this one.
