Aliens - Thanatos Encounter (GBC) price, value & rarity
Aliens Thanatos Encounter, developed by Crawfish Interactive for THQ, arrived in 2001 once the GBC was already overshadowed by the GBA, sharply limiting its print run. The PAL version is markedly harder to find than the North American one, a common pattern for late-generation Fox licences shipped to Europe in small quantities. Its strong price stems from this end-of-life scarcity and the enduring pull of the Aliens franchise.
