ZylonBane Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Oh, forgot to mention; I LOVE that Biblesphere reference, that should really piss off at least one of the Battlesphere developers who is an admitted Athiest! Uh, what's the difference between an "admitted" athiest and a regular athiest? Is one less superstitious than the other? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SabertoothRetro Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The seller dropped her/his price from $1699 to $1479. Given that a copy of "classic" went for $405 yesterday, maybe the market for this game is softer than she/he thinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felyx Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Good point that noone on the earth is ready to put so much money for a Jaguar game...anymore. I do hope noone will bid at that price neither as that could be the first signs of bursting of the speculative bubble on that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop2 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 True I'll admit the game intrigues me with the videos I've seen of it. However, I really have issues spending that much money for one single game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, as someone who owns it, how much would you pay? I'm considering making an offer but it's hard to put a real value on BSG. It's an emotional thing. No way I'd pay a grand but $400-600...maybe. Then again at those prices I don't think the came could possibly live up to my expectations. I really wish Scatologic would put out a BSG tenth anniversary addition for charity. I think a lot of folks who missed out on the initial runs would pony up a few hundred bucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZylonBane Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Nobody actually plays BattleSphere anymore, they just buy it and resell it. With a few more copies in circulation we could have an entirely BattleSphere-based economy. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Smeghead Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Basically, the only times I ever seemed to play it were just after I bought it, and just before I sold it. So I guess I've played it four times. Bought it, played it, put it in storage... played it, sold it... bought it back, played it, stored it... played it, sold it. Good times!

And that is why I do not believe we will see a re-release of this anytime soon. He obviously has NOS and can make more for his charity by selling 2 or 3 a year than selling 15 or 20 for $200 especially when you take in the cost of having new cartridges made. There is a good chance that as he adds more copies to the Jaguar community he may not find people willing to pay this high price. Also who knows how many copies he has left.

However, I really have issues spending that much money for one single game Anything the game does is being done by other games...so it's no big whoop IMO.For that price, it would have to blow me away when compared against *anything* else...or at least blow me.

I don't think that is unreasonable. It is true that there are other games like battlesphere, afterall it's a remake of another classic (star raiders). i personally wouldn't list it as a game that's worth buying a Jaguar for but it's right on the periphery as a game that I can easily see of interest to Jaguar fans. It's rare to see a good remake of a classic, and a game that taps into the potential of a game console in ways that most other games on the platform do not. Battlesphere does both and it was release after the commercial demise of the system. The fact that it's still as enjoyable as some of the best games in the genre today I think is enough of a consolation for a fan of the Jaguar and the genre to seek it out. I personally don't like turn and shoot games so the RTS elements in Alone Agains the Empire is the only justification I have for still digging out the game once in awhile.

SoulBlazer Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I decided to put in what I considered to be a reasonable offer. It was declined. To me, a resonable offer for the game would be about $200-300 dollars. There's no way in hell I'm paying more then that for a game, no matter what it is!
