How Much Does a Complete Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Set Cost?

Buying every Sega Genesis / Mega Drive game complete in box would cost roughly $32,932 at today's prices across 617 titles, an average of $53.37 per game. The median game costs $31.47, and 184 titles still sell for under $20 — most of the budget goes to a handful of chase games.

In fact, the ten most expensive Sega Genesis / Mega Drive games alone account for about 15% of the full set value.

What a "complete set" really means

Most collectors count the licensed retail releases for one region. Our totals cover every Sega Genesis / Mega Drive game in our catalogue with a bot-verified market price, so they are a realistic buying budget rather than a theoretical list price. Variants, regional reprints and promotional discs are not included.

Loose totals are the cheapest way in and usually land at a fraction of the complete-in-box figure. Sealed totals are dominated by a few graded copies and are far less liquid — very few collectors ever complete a sealed set.
