The word record for the highest price paid for a video game was smashed recently when a mint copy of the Nintendo classic Legend of Zelda dwarfed the price previously paid for another Nintendo title – Super Mario Bros.
Retro games are now big business, with bidders from around the world competing to add the rarest titles to their collection.
So if you you have a box of old NES or Atati games in the loft it’s worth dusting them off and seeing if you have any of the most valuable titles.
Sadly the big bucks tend to be paid for mint editions that have never been opened or played, but you never know…
Here are 10 of the games that could make you a fortune, as identified by the experts at TouchCasino.com.
9. Pac-Man
One of the most famous games of all, the Nintendo NES conversion of arcade game ghost-gobbling classic Pac-Man is worth £33,940. It's a fair bit more than the few pounds it cost to buy back in 1982. Photo: Contributed
10. Luigi's Mansion
The list is completed by the first entry for Nintendo's Gamecube console. Unopened copies of 2001's Luigi's Mansion are worth £25,455. The catch? As ever, f you opened and played it, it's probably worth about £50. Photo: Contributed
