Virtual Gallop - Kishudou (PS1) price, value & rarity
The limited Genteiban edition of Virtual Gallop - Kishudou, an Athena horse-racing simulation that casts the player as the jockey rather than the breeder or bettor, an uncommon angle for the genre. A niche title with a narrow Japanese audience, its Genteiban version was already a confidential run. Desirability rests on this unusual play angle and on the inherent scarcity of a limited edition of a horse-racing program never released outside Japan.
