Title: OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
Post by: Izret101 on June 25, 2006, 02:15:57 AM
THE RAREST MORTAL KOMBAT GAME PRODUCED!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8279867643&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT

I am pretty sure DP said it was an R9 (nevermind its an R8 ), their guide is down now so i am not sure.

I am so stoaked about this but i pretty much can't tell anyone "in the real world" how much i payed for quite some time...
\
edit:
Wikipedia just says it commonly goes for over 100$s on eBay. Which i find strange since i havn't seen a copy before.

I still can't believe i spent this much on one game...


EDIT
Cut down alot of my post since i figured out stuff i was wondering or wasn't sure on.

Nice win man!  Is it the rarest PSX release?  I never knew there were games with a rarity higher than R7 released for PSX...pretty cool man.  Is this also the most expensive/rare MK game for any system?

It is the rarest and most expensive Mortal Kombat game.

Someone on the auction asked about an obi.
I am not sure what was meant by that...

I do know it is missing the spinecard though.
I only know that because i saw the spine card in a scan of the game on Playstation japan quite some time ago.

It is an R8 so it is probably one of the rarest PSX games but i doubt it is THE rarest PSX game.
But seeing as it is an import that makes it that much better.

Awesome, one question though, if it's a Japanese game, how come the title is in English?

Let me tell you a few things about this port:

1.  This port is the worse port out there (on the same level as the Saturn).
2.  Music is fucked up (it's so gay).
3.  Loading times kills the game completely (just do a fatality).

Congrats on spending over $100 on the worse port of MKII EVER!

HOW DO I KNOW ABOUT THIS, CAUSE I PLAYED IT MANY TIMES BEFORE AND I GOT THE GAME BEFORE FOR $10!  I don't have the game anymore because I gave it away (and I didn't really care at all about its price).

 Awesome find! I know just how you feel, when you find a game you didn't think you would ever find and then it just shows up somewhere ready for you to take home. Congratulations on finding another MK variation to add to your collection.

Thats cool thanks for trying to be a killjoy but i am phsyched about it because it is the hardest mortal kombat game to get.

Just a heads up, alt of the ports suck, alot of them have fucked up music, alot have shitty load times, alot have bad frame rates and none are as expensive or nearly as uncommon as this one(well maybe the gameboy/gamegear and tiger handhelds but those will be heap when they show up.).

Thanks everyone else for being psyche for me too.
This is the most i have ever spent on a game. The second most was also on a MK game for 60$s.

I was just so surprised i found it on a whim i BINed it as soon as i read the quality.

Unfortunately i don't know of any websites that have stolen their rarity guides yet.

But when something is really irking me i can find it by getting a cached page from a search engine(since it will still allow me to see a downed webpage just without the pictures)

Sorry but the price doesn't justify the gameplay.  Trust me Ant, the gameplays sucks and once you play it, you don't want to play it ever again.  :(

I agree - the only rare games that tend to be good are late releases.

Isn't the PAL version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the Saturn one of the rarest? I hope you PAL, and MK collectors go after that one, like ASAP. :)

Was it released for the Saturn in Japan?


Title: Re: OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
Post by: Izret101 on July 01, 2006, 05:54:56 AM
That was the other one i knew was going to be expensive.

But that still only gores for 50 or so USD compared to this one that is cheap.


Title: Re: OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
Post by: David_J. on July 01, 2006, 04:38:18 PM
But how often does it show up?

Anyone have a US Saturn version of MKT for cheap?

So, Fighter17, how did you get this game for $10. It is as bad as the Saturn port? Everyone says it is an amazing port. Well, the four people that have played it, other than you. :P

Why it was even releaesd in Japan, and on the PSX is beyond me... That was a pretty late port. I'd like to play it for the curiosity factor.

How I've gotten the game for $10 bucks:

I went to the Flea Market one day and I went to a small game shop where they have a shit load of PSX games.  When searching through all the US PSX games is when I saw Mortal Kombat II JP version for the PSX.  I took the game out from the shelf and opened up the case and I see the spine card was inside.  So I went up to the cherk and he charged me $10 with tax.  I payed and left the shop. 

When I came home is when I saw the horror that was the Playstation port.  The music was horrible at first, and the worse part of the game was the loading times.  When trying to do a fatality, the Playstation has to load the information DURING THE F***ING fatality!  It so screw up when trying to do a fatality because the sound effects where missing because of the loading times!  Time to time when fighting in any stage you'll get a second of loading time during the MATCH!  Also, the stage after the Dead Pool music (if I remember correctly) was stwich from the music of the stage with the blue sky.  When Shao Kaun (you know what I'm talking about), saids the winner of the match, the Playstation has to load, giving you lag.  >.>

This is one of the most horrible ports of MKII there is and should be avoided.  After playing the game, I went to a friend house and I gave it to him.  The reason why I gave it to him because he was the only other person I know who had a Modded PSX (other than me, well I had a Modded PS2).  A week later he told me that he hated the port with his guts so much that he gave it away to a guy up in New York. 

This happen a few years ago before I know how much it actally cost.  If I had know about the price, I would still gave it away since the port was so horrible. 

Funny, because I still have my backup copy of this game on my computer (after all these years, well I copy the game before I gave it away), let me play it again so I can feel like shit. 

If you want a image of the game, I'll give it to you so you can try it out on a PSX emulator (it's only 20 Megs compress in Winrar).
