Nagano Winter Olympics '98

The official game of the XVIII Olympic Winter Games held in Nagano, Japan, including 12 events such as Downhill, Giant Slalom, K-90 and K-120 Ski Jumping, Freestyle Aerials, Snowboard Halfpipe (only in the N64 version) and Slalom (in their Olympic debut), 500m and 1500m Speed Skating, Bobsleigh, Luge and Curling.

Up to four players can choose one of 16 nations and compete in Olympic (play for the medals) or Championship mode (for the points, in a Decathlon-style competition).

The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.

Gamevaro tracks Nagano Winter Olympics '98 for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Nagano Winter Olympics '98 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1997.

Market insights

Nagano Winter Olympics '98 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
