Collector interest

Cool World in its European edition (Ocean) carries the same weak game as the US version, but with a distinct PAL run. Sealed prices reach high levels here because sealed copies have grown very scarce on the European market. The appeal is not ludic but rests on the scarcity of Ocean's PAL run and the difficulty of finding the complete European edition, to be distinguished from its US counterpart.
