Collector interest

The North American edition of First Samurai targets the NTSC collector drawn to Amiga-rooted action-platform conversions. On this flagship market the title stays low-key and far less of a cult name than the big hits, which concentrates interest on flawless copies. An unwarped cardboard box and a complete manual carry weight, with a sealed example forming the sought piece while the loose cartridge stays lightly valued.
