Little Samson NES $100-$300

Now we're starting to get into some of the real biggies. These are the games that you might have to take out a mortgage on if you want them in your collection. While Little Samson may have the same rarity rating as Snow Brothers and Fire 'N Ice...it commands a much higher price due to having the reputation of being one of the better games on the NES. The game was released in 1992, but sold poorly...thus it was retired off the shelves pretty fast. However, if people had given the game a chance...they would have seen that it is a very solid title. Little Samson's gameplay is very similar to Mega Man...with your character being able to shoot projectiles at enemies. The game has four playable characters - Little Samson who is a human, Kikira the dragon, Gamm the golem, and K.O. the mouse. Each character is level specific...but you can go back to levels you have already completed and switch to any character you want. This game could have gone down as one of the great NES classics had it sold well...but unfortunately, it was released during a time when 8-bit games were considered to be over the hill. So now, it costs a small ransom on Ebay due to not many copies of it being released. Brace yourself for this one's price range...a loose cart goes for $100-$120, while a complete one goes for $200-$300! Expensive, right? Well, you ain't seen nothing yet!
