The most valuable PAL-region game based on recent sales is a graded copy of Streets of Rage for the Sega Mega Drive, which is worth nearly £40,000.

But while sealed and graded games are most valuable, even loose cartridges, which have been used, and those complete with boxes, can fetch huge sums.

Currys has analysed retro video game resale data on PriceCharting to produce a list of the most valuable unsealed games - including one worth nearly £4,000.
