Time spent playing video games is never wasted, despite what anyone else says.

And the video games you’ve accumulated on Nintendo 64, Playstation and Game Boy consoles over the years could now be worth an absolute fortune.

PlayStation:

Elemental Gearbolt: Assassin’s Case: Around £1,000.

Some of these games are incredibly rare, but there’s a very real chance you might have some of these games in a cupboard, attic or basement. It’s definitely worth having a look.

Even if you don’t have any of these high value games, there are a number of retro games which are still worth a pretty penny, so if you have a collection of Nintendo 64, Sega Mega Drive, or PlayStation games sitting around doing nothing, it’s worth getting them valued.
