The study by gaming site GuideStrats.com analysed data from second-hand retailer CeX to see which retro consoles could be traded for the highest amounts
Gamers have been urged to find out if their retro consoles could be worth hundreds of pounds. New research has revealed the most valuable retro consoles to trade in, with the Sega Multi-Mega Console coming out on top.Released in 1994 as a combination of the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Mega-CD and Portable CD Player, it had a very short production life compared to other consoles released then, making it rarer and much more expensive nowadays.
It means it's now very rare, with only 11 games being produced for the console during its lifetime. Third place goes to Nintendo’s Virtual Boy, which can be traded in for £288. This is one of the first examples of a Virtual Reality console, with the technology nowadays being much more developed. Upon its release in 1995, it became a commercial failure due to its poor ergonomics, high price, and health concerns, and is therefore very rare.
Candace Healy, head of branding at GuideStrats.com, said: “Some of the prices on this list highlight how volatile the console market was in the 90s, with many companies having either failed experiments or just poor sales, leading to some incredibly rare finds at high prices. If you have any of these consoles, you can either cash in now, or keep hold of them in the hope that their values increase even more over the next few years.
