More than ever, collectors and resellers are rampant in the video game market. This new generation of unscrupulous buyers is rushing to buy collector's editions of games or consoles such as the PS5 to resell them at outrageous prices. They generally have no passion for video games, and usually, only collect the games for the money that comes after reselling.

Collectors, on the other hand, only want to get hold of video game treasures to add to their shelves. If you're a collector, or just have a lot of retro games in your cartons, this Nintendo title is worth a hefty $11,000.

Brand new, this Nintendo game is worth almost $11,000

Phantom Air Mission is not the best-known game from Nintendo's iconic NES console. Also known as Flight of the Intruder, this video game plunges you into the middle of the Vietnam War and was released in 1990. More than 40 years later, its value has soared. The new NES game developed by Rowan Software (a studio that has now disappeared) is worth almost $11,000, according to Price Charting.

The game's condition determines the price

Loose, meaning only the cartridge without the manual and case, Phantom Air Mission is worth around $1,000. If you own Phantom Air Mission, waiting several years before reselling it could bring you even more money. You can also keep it to add to your game collection. Hopefully, it won't end up in the bin of an unsuspected player.
