This December, the original PlayStation will celebrate its 30th birthday, which is making a lot of us feel old.
There are so many now-vintage games that bring back a lot of nostalgia, but there’s also a few that’ll fetch you quite a bit of money too.
Collectors are willing to part with quite a bit of cash to get their hands on rare video games and there’s one particular game from 2004 has become so rare that it now sells for an insane amount of money.
There are some games, like Batman Forever Arcade, which was first released in 1996, that are going for $155.

If you happen to have an old copy of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which came out in 1997, then you might be able to bag $590 for it.
However, there’s one game that blows those figures completely out of the water.
If you want to make some serious money, then have a dig around your old games and see if you’ve got a copy of Cindy’s Fashion World.
It’s considered to be one of the rarest PS1 games out there and there’s a copy of it on eBay currently listed for a whopping £1,700 ($2,226).
However, the fact that it’s so valuable now doesn’t mean anything about the quality of the game.
It was first released in 2004 and was a low-budget game aimed at young children.
The reason it’s so rare is because it was quickly removed from the shelves not long after being released.
The problem was that the game had a bug that basically made it unplayable, prompting the developers at Phoenix Games to pull it from sale.
It did actually work fine on the PS2 so if you manage to get your hands on a copy and you want to try it out, that’s the best route to go down.
Still, it’s tricky to find the game as it wasn’t on sale for long.
One fan took to social media to show off his collection of PS1 games, revealing on Reddit that they had ‘been actively looking for a good deal for Cindy's Fashion World’.
Known as @PS1archive, the collector shared how they were trying to get their hands on a copy of every PS1 game but this one had so far eluded them, adding: “At the rate things are going, I think I will be very lucky to see it for less than £1000!”
