F-Zero X

While the original had 4 cars to choose from and race against, F-Zero X has no fewer than 30 vehicles all with their own unique strengths and weaknesses, a choice of colours, and customisable power/acceleration ratios for each track.

At the beginning you are limited to choosing from 6 cars and 3 tournaments (each featuring 6 tracks each), but in true Nintendo fashion, more cars and tracks are unlocked as you progress through the game.

As well as the cups, you can also race in time trial mode, against a 'ghost car' recording of your best previous lap, a lá Mario Kart 64 .

Gone are the entirely flat tracks of the original, having been replaced with tracks that twist, turn, loop, rotate and basically contort into the most crazy shapes you could imagine.

One unique feature amongst almost all other racing games is the "X" tournament, where courses are totally randomly generated each time you start.

One of the most important changes to the format is the inclusion of multiplayer support for up to 4 players.

The various combat moves are especially important against aggressive human play.

F-Zero X for Nintendo 64 is currently worth €46.15 loose, €29.48 complete in box, and €453.61 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

F-Zero X has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For F-Zero X, loose is €46.15 and CIB is €29.48 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of F-Zero X is currently worth €46.15 loose, versus €34.93 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
