This iconic PS1 game that we all loved is now worth $20,000

Many cult licences were born on the PS1. Spyro, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil, Suikoden: these sagas known to all today had their first hours of glory on Sony's mythical console. At the time, to get these games, you had to leave your home.

The PS1, the debut of many mythical sagas

You couldn't get them from an online shop like PlayStation Store or Epic Games Store. The same goes for resale: this was done in a shop or at a flea market. We hope you've saved up a few games though, as they can be worth a lot of money. This cult PS1 title can sell for $20,000.

Silent Hill, a cult video game that can sell for $20,000

As the website Price Charting shows, a copy of the first Silent Hill released on the PS1 has sold for $20,000 on eBay. A sealed version of the game is in perfect condition, which explains its very high value. On Heritage Auctions, several copies of Silent Hill were sold for a few thousand dollars. As you can see, the game from the saga developed by Konami, for which we are desperately waiting for a new episode, can fetch a very good sum.

The monetary value of the PS1 title is matched only by its quality. Silent Hill was a real slap in the face when it came out. Its terrifying horror atmosphere, tortured characters, sublime soundtrack and legendary fog make it one of the benchmarks of horror. A word of advice, don't sell the first Silent Hill before you've finished it, or you'll be missing out on a memorable piece of work. The second instalment of the Silent Hill license is simply one of the best video games of all time.
