Just listing it online could result in a ton of interest. This unique angle made the game different and interesting when it came out, but it also kept it from becoming a great seller.

Like many games made to help sell films, it didn't sell particularly well, which means it's pretty hard to find these days. Another issue with the game has to do with the pieces being easily lost or broken - and there are a lot of pieces. The game comes with a bunch of small scuba men and their equipment, which kids probably enjoyed playing with on their own. This inevitably led to pieces going missing. Copies of this game with all of the parts are difficult to find, and when one does come up in good condition, it's snatched away quickly.

Finding one intact and in good condition is, of course, even harder given the limited number of copies on the market.

Why It's Worth So Much: Dark Tower was one of the most innovative games released in the early s, which is also one of the reasons it's so rare and valuable. The game features the eponymous Dark Tower, which has a small computer capable of tracking all of the game functions and features as gameplay progresses. While this is primitive when compared to modern fare, it was revolutionary in , and the game became a collector's item soon after it was released. Sure, you can play Scrabble on any phone or tablet, but have you ever wanted to own a very expensive high-tech Scrabble board?
