A conspicuous number of SNES RPGs still sell at a high-price on internet auctions.
Apart from the obvious Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy et similia, I noticed games like Secret of Mana or Earthbound still ranking at a considerable cost.
Doesn't surprise me, though. It's the gaming generation that probably left the fondest memories in most players, all around the world. Lots of classic titles were produced during that specific time arc.
Time is no doubt an essential factor, but I think global (emotional) attachment counts as well.
And I think the 16-bit era wins in that aspect (though this may still vary, depending on one's region and the availability of certain games at the time).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
