Gekioh - Shooting King (PS1) price, value & rarity
Gekioh Shooting King, a vertical shmup released late in Europe (2001) under the Capcom label, with a very small end-of-cycle PAL run. The European version is markedly rarer than the Japanese original and concentrates demand from PAL shmup collectors. Values stay firm loose and complete, driven by the territorial scarcity of a genre already confidential on PS1.
