I paid $40 when it first came out. You got a good deal considering how rare it is.

Just so you know, it took me a couple weeks of daily play to get past the first two levels. After that, I rarely made it through the third and never made it through the fourth. The only way I can get through all five levels is by turning on infinite continues, but that's cheating. It's a tough game, but it's intense and awesome. :D

I only completed it because I got infinite credits for playing it so much. It's hard, but fun.

But somehow I keep coming back. Yeah, I bought it for 39.99 when it first came out and really didnt mind it since I wanted it on the DC in the first place but didnt have an import system. But Ikaruga owns!

I'm surprised someone was actually dumb enough to sell that game.

Then again, not everyone is into old-skool vertical-scrolling shooters like Ikaruga.

People are ditching their games, especially at EB so it's not unheard of to find the odd rare gem in the used section.

I was able to find a copy of Ikaruga at a pawn shop for $35.00 and I love it.

Yeah that's true. But how can you not like a great old school scrolling shooter?

I found it in Best Buy online. I checked it if it might sell near my home. It did say that it was sold out. I decided to order it with online store. It sold for $20. Later, I overheard that Best Buy got worse delivery rates. I was lucky that Best Buy did delivery it to my home. :D

I found it there too. But it didn't have the original box and they were asking for a TON of money, so I didn't get it. :( I will get to eventually though. Probabley on Amazon or something.
