Lawnmower Man, The (Mega-CD) price, value & rarity
This US version of The Lawnmower Man circulated more widely than its PAL counterpart, the North American Sega CD base being larger, which keeps its value more accessible. A virtual-reality movie tie-in, it lines up cutscenes from the film and a synth mood with little gameplay depth. Appeal lies mainly with collectors of cinema FMV in the US cardboard long-box, a marker of the early-90s VR wave.
