They were all released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), one of the titans of nineties console gaming – decades before the Nintendo Switch 2.
So if you had the machine, check your drawers, cupboards, and the loft right now. You might have a fortune just waiting to be flogged.
GAME #1 – Brawl Brothers (£3,718)
One retro game that collectors will fork out for is Brawl Brothers.
This side-scrolling beat 'em up landed in late 1992, but didn't make it to Europe until 1993.
And if you have a sealed copy of the game, it has an estimated value of £3,380, according to video game collectibles tracker PriceCharting.
Better yet, a sealed copy that's been professionally graded could be worth £3,718.
The price is still high for an opened but "complete-in-box" copy of the game, fetching an estimated £1,300.
Sadly the loose cartridge is only valued at £68 – but the box is said to be worth £276, while the manual is reportedly worth £172.
These estimates are based on previous sales of the game, so you could end up receiving higher or lower offers if you decide to flog yours.
And keep in mind that your old games could go up (or down) in value if you hang on to them.
Everything we know so far about the Nintendo Switch 2
Brawl Brothers was notable for being the only SNES game in Europe and the US to have the Japanese version featured on the same cartridge – accessed by entering a cheat code.
GAME #2 – Final Fight 3 (£3,720)
Also worth a pretty penny is Final Fight 3, which – like Brawl Brothers – is a side-scrolling beat 'em up from Capcom.
It came out in December 1995 on the SNES in Japan, before arriving for European gamers in March 1996.
A sealed copy is said to be worth £3,382, but that rises to £3,720 if you get it professionally graded.

The complete (but opened) box is worth £1,301, while an empty box would reportedly fetch £520.
A loose cartridge has an estimated value of £178, while the manual is worth about £89.
The game received average reviews, and its side-scrolling design was scrapped for a 3D format with the sequel: Final Fight Revenge.
GAME #3 – Captain Commando (£4,510)
Third on our list is Captain Commando, a 1991 beat 'em up game, again developed by Capcom.

It's set in the year 2026, where Earth is plagued by Super Criminals – and it's your job as Captain Commando to stop them.
The game was originally created for arcades, but landed on SNES in 1995.
And if you have a sealed copy if the game, it's worth an estimated £4,100 – or £4,510 for a professionally graded version.
Even an opened but complete-in-box copy is worth a whopping £1,577.

The box alone is valued at £630, while the manual is listed at £394.
And a loose cartridge could fetch about £168.
The title was later released for PlayStation in 1998 – and also featured in the 2018 Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle compilation game.
GAME #4 – Pocky & Rocky 2 (£5,275)
Out-pricing all of these titles is SNES shoot 'em up Pocky & Rocky 2.

It arrived in Japan and the USA in 1994, before landing in Europe in April 1995.
The game landed to very positive reviews, and featured a two-player co-op mode.
If you still have an unopened Pocky & Rocky 2, it's worth an estimated £4,796.
But that'll climb to £5,275 for a professionally graded unit.
Sadly the complete-in-box game is only worth £301, while a loose cartridge is valued at £107.
The box could fetch about £71, and the manual is listed for £74.
Of course, depending on how many copies are available, the eagerness of collectors, and the quality of your game, you could end up getting higher or lower offers from SNES super-fans.
The good news is, if you've got any old Nintendo consoles sitting at home, they might also be worth thousands.

But putting the feud to one side, Peter focused his attention on his wife Emily, 36, to wish her a happy birthday. The star shared a string of photos of his gorgeous wife, and wrote: 'Happy Birthday Emily. We love you beyond words.' The first photo sees Emily in an elegant black gown with her hair back and a diamond necklace on. He tagged his doctor wife and added a love heart emoji, before posting several photos of them together on holiday. Peter and Emily's fans wished her a happy birthday too, and threw their support behind the singer amid his public feud. One person wrote: 'Happy Birthday to you, Pete you are the luckiest person in the world. You deserve everything that is coming your way and you got a lady beautiful inside and outside to create your gorgeous family. Love you man.. All the best @dr_emily_official with health and Happiness on your path.' A second added: 'Happy birthday to Dr Emily Andre from myself in north east England. Your amazing family. Watched the Princess Diaries what amazing Princess was outstanding. Have great Birthday Emily.' A third person echoed: 'What a great role model you are , you have forged a lovely relationship with your step children which is clear to see, you stepped up to look after those children, have a wonderful day.' Princess Andre breaks silence on Peter and Katie's bitter feud after his blistering statement The battle of the exes hit it's peak this week when Peter, 52, posted a statement on behalf of his family saying, "this ends today". In retaliation, Katie then shared her own social media post last night, where she was clearly taking a swipe at the Mysterious Girl singer. In his first post since he released his bombshell statement about the on-going feud with Katie, Peter shared a sweet family photo on his latest Instagram Story. In the picture, the singer along with wife Emily and the three kids they share together, could be see standing united. Katie Price's relationship history We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price's relationship history. 1996-1998: Katie got engaged to Gladiators star Warren Furman - aka Ace - with a £3,000 ring. But their relationship didn't make it as far as 'I do'. 1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as 'the love of her life' but she broke up with the singer when he allegedly cheated on her. 2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie's eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with Harvey throughout his life. 2002: Rebounding from Dwight, Katie famously had one night of passion with Pop Idol star Gareth Gates, allegedly taking his virginity. 2002-2004: Katie was dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle for I'm A Me Out Of Here!. He threatened to "punch Peter's lights out" when chemistry blossomed between her and Peter Andre. 2004-2009: The jungle romance resulted in Katie marrying Aussie pop star Peter. They had two kids, Junior and Princess, before their bitter split in 2009. 2010-2011: Fresh from her break-up with Peter, Katie enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and marriage with cage fighter Alex Reid. They split 20 months after their Las Vegas wedding. 2011: Katie briefly dated model Danny Cipriani... but it ended as quickly as it begun. 2011-2012: They didn't speak the same language, but Katie got engaged to Argentinian model Leandro Penna in 2011. He later fled home to South America. 2012-2018: Wedding bells rang once more after Katie met Kieran Hayler in 2013. They had two kids together, Jett and Bunny, before their break-up and divorce. 2018-2019: Katie moved on quickly with Kris Boyson. They had an on-off romance for one year and even got engaged. They split for good in 2019. 2019: Katie was linked to Charles Drury during her on-off relationship with Kris. Charles, who also dated Lauren Goodger, has always denied being in "official relationship" with her. 2020-2023: Car salesman Carl Woods took a shining to Katie in 2020. Their relationship was up and down for three years. They broke up for a final time last year. 2024-present: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February this year. They had their backs to the camera, and they were seen walking along the beach holding hands, as a show of solidarity. Pete simply wrote "Cyprus" over the photo. PETER RELEASES STATEMENT Peter's return to social media came after he addressed the on-going feud between his family and Katie. Tension has been high between the pair, as Katie blames her ex for a rift between her and Princess, 52. Pricey claims she was "banned" by Peter from appearing in her daughter's reality show, The Princess Diaries. On Thursday, the dad-of-five released a statement about his ex-wife saying he'd "stayed silent" for 16 years since their split in 2009. Pete said he chose to speak out now after Katie claimed she was being frozen out of Princess' burgeoning TV career. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight," Pete wrote in the letter published on social media. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood." Pete concluded: "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months."

Bingo experts reveal their top 10 tips to help you win HUGE £100k jackpot
Bingo player Joanne Bell, 44, reveals how she won £50k, plus we explain how to boost your chances of bagging a jackpot BEAT THE ODDS Bingo experts reveal their top 10 tips to help you win HUGE £100k jackpot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EYES down, dabbers in hand... full house! We all dream of shouting BINGO - but are there ways to boost your chances? Three bingo experts reveal their top ten tips to improve your odds of winning, which can help you walk away with up to £100,000. 4 Three bingo experts reveal their tips to help you increase your chance of winning Credit: Getty 4 Choosing where to sit in the bingo hall can up the odds of bagging the jackpot 4 Playing on one day of the week can make you more likely to win Credit: AFP 4 Miles Baron from the Bingo Association gives his top tips for the game They explain the best day to play, how to find offers and even where to sit to increase your odds of bagging the jackpot. More than three million people play bingo at least twice a week in the UK, according to the National Bingo Game Association. But despite the small chance of walking away with the top prize, there are nifty tips and tricks that can improve your chances. Make sure you gamble responsibly and only play with money you can afford to lose. Set a limit for how much money you are prepared to spend before you start playing. If you need advice, visit or Eyes on the prize The exact size of the jackpot depends on where you're playing and what's on offer. There are 250 clubs across Britain, so you'll likely have a venue near you. The Bingo Association website has a venue finder where you can find your nearest. But if you want the chance to win top prizes, you'll need to take part in bigger, nationally-played games. These games can offer you the chance to win jackpots worth up to £50,000. Some even offer monthly draws of up to £100,000 a month. Buzz Bingo players win over £2million a week in 80 bingo venues around the country. Meanwhile, any operator that is a member of the Bingo Game Association puts money into a shared pot, so that if a player calls bingo after 16 balls or fewer, they win a £50,000 jackpot. This usually happens at least once a week. Know these rules of the game BINGO first appeared in the UK in the 1960s, and was an instant hit. For this reason, it's often associated with older generations. But it also has an appeal for young people with events such as bingo raves becoming more popular. To play bingo you buy a card featuring lines of numbers from one to 90. Each ticket on a card holds its own set of numbers, with each set of ten numbers in a different column, starting with tens on the far left, then twenties, thirties and so on. A caller will then read out numbers randomly picked out. When you have a number called you can mark it off your card. Every player has a different card but the first person to have 15 numbers crossed off shouts 'bingo' and is the winner for that game. You can also shout 'house' or 'yes' or whatever else you want when you have a full house – there is no right or wrong thing. But you must shout on the number that is called or they'll move on and you'll miss your chance. Callers are known for having cheeky phrases to go with the different numbers. For example, they may call knock at the door for number four or top of the shop for 90. It's similar when you play online but you'll get randomly generated digital cards. If you're playing electronically, you'll just need to hit the claim button rather than shouting out. Are Mondays magic? When there are fewer players, your odds of winning a prize increase. So it makes sense then to try to play when it is quietest. Many people head to play bingo with friends at the weekend. But if you can gather your pals during the week instead, you may have more luck. Issy-Mae Hunt, Bingo Caller of the Year, from Buzz Bingo said: "Mondays are our quietest days, so it's a greater chance of winning." Going to a game at the start of the week means you could be more likely to win. However, every club and every session is different, so it's worth asking staff when the quietest time to play is. Play off-peak During quieter sessions, it can be cheaper to play, which means that you could buy more tickets for the same price and increase your chances of winning. Miles said: "The cost of tickets change - some sessions offer a bit more value." Often, you'll find cheaper prices during the week. Ask your local hall about offers. If you play online, you may be able to get free introductory offers. You could also get extra plays as part of promotions by operators. Keep an eye on social media or subscribe to mailing lists to be the first to find out about any special offers. For example, if you're new to a Mecca club, you can get all your bingo – plus a drink – for £5. Try somewhere new Bingo is not just played in clubs. There is now a record amount played in holiday parks such as Haven, Parkdean Resorts and Park Holidays UK, according to Miles. Fewer people may play at these smaller venues, which means there is a higher chance of you winning. Less popular venues may have smaller jackpots, so it is worth thinking about this before you buy a ticket. And if you're relying on the British summer weather, it could be a fun rainy afternoon activity. Win without winning Jackpots aren't just for the full house winner - they can also be a treat for everyone. Keep an eye out for a community jackpot, which is where everyone benefits when someone wins. These jackpots share the winnings between the full house winner, who triggered the jackpot, and any players with tickets for the winning game. The split is usually equal among everyone so the money is evenly divided among all players who have at least one ticket. Sometimes the money may be divided proportionally depending on the number of tickets that each player had for the winning game. As a result, these jackpots can still be a great way to win, even if your numbers don't come up. The amount you'll get depends on how many players there are on the night. But if the jackpot was £50,000 and there were 100 players, you would all get £500 each. Bingo gadget helped me win £50,000 jackpot Joanne Bell, 44, from Stockton (right), scooped a £50,000 bingo prize at her local hall. The mum-of-four initially hadn't realised she had a 'house' within the first 16 numbers being called at the Mecca Bingo event. Even after the room erupted in applause, she still refused to believe that she had nabbed the winnings. ''Everyone around me was saying 'you've won the jackpot, you've won the jackpot',' she recalled. "I was like 'No…' Then I looked down at the screen and realised I had… It was just so surreal!'' The generous mum decided to share the money with the three relatives who were with her at the event – including her own mum, who will now be able to retire early. Joanne was also with her sister and niece when the life-changing prize was handed over. Play the odds Your odds of winning bingo depend on how many people have bought tickets and the number you have purchased. When there are fewer players in the game, your odds of winning improve. So if you want to boost your chances of winning the jackpot then look out for smaller games. You may find that the prizes are smaller but your chance of winning is better. Remember, the more tickets in play, the bigger the prize. Dabbers at the ready Head into the hall with plenty of time before the game starts. Mike Sime, head of bingo at Mecca Bingo, said: "Before the game kicks off, take a moment to get to know your bingo ticket and how things are laid out. "Understanding the layout means you'll be able to spot your numbers quickly when things get fast-paced." He added: "Once the game kicks off, it moves fast. "Keep your eyes on the prize and your mind in the game, and most importantly, dab your numbers as soon as they are called. Didn't hear the call? Check the board." If you don't hear or see a number you could miss your chance to win. That's why it's important to choose where you sit in the hall carefully. It's a good idea to get as close to the teller as possible so you can make sure you can properly hear them calling the numbers. Facing forwards mean you might have a better view of what is going on. Stick to these rules to always play responsibly You might win when playing bingo but there is a good chance you'll walk away with nothing. To make sure the game stays fun, work out how much you're happy to lose before you start playing. Find a figure and stick to that limit so you know exactly how much you can pay out in an evening. To make a little extra bingo fun, Issy-Mae said: "Why not pick a dabber in your favourite colour? My go to is pink as it's easier to see on the bingo ticket." She adds: "Play to enjoy, not to win. that way you always leave bingo happy. "Chat to the community around you and enjoy what you're doing." Research from Mecca Bingo found that 80% of under-35s are now actively seeking social experiences beyond the usual pub or club, so bingo is the perfect activity to get together and enjoy something a little different. Mike said: "Bingo has so much to offer beyond the game itself. "Bring your friends and soak up the lively atmosphere with drinks, food and plenty of laughs. Issy-Mae said: "Always make sure you're on time so you can find a good seat. "Make sure you can hear the caller and see the numbers on the big screens too. "You might also want to find a 'favourite' seat in the hall - get comfortable and if you are new, learn a bit about what you're doing before the bingo starts." You may even find that you have a preferred teller. This could be because they read the numbers at a certain pace or are easy to understand. A good teller is entertaining as well as in control of the crowd, said Miles. Join the club If you're new to bingo, try to sit next to someone who has been before so they can help out. You might even make some new friends. Miles said: "Existing customers love to help out new customers. "There is an incredibly friendly, big community feel at venues." Bingo is something that can be played no matter your age and is a great way to have fun as a family, he adds. Miles adds: "It's a safe space for women to go who make up 70 per cent of the customer base." The largest growing customer base is people between the ages 35-45, according to the Bingo Association. Don't worry too much if don't pick everything up at first. And if there's something you don't understand, don't be afraid to ask. Miles said: "People will go out of their way to help you." Staff are from the local community and can give you pointers when you need them. Do you know all the bingo lingo? BINGO tellers are well known for their special phrases for different numbers. But it can be a bit confusing if you're new to the game. Here are some of the phrases to know about, according to Gala Bingo... One little duck: Refers to the number 2 Knock at the door: Represents the number 4 Man alive: Represents the number 5 Lucky seven: Refers to the number 7 Dancing queen: Represents the number 17 Two dozen: Refers to the number 24 Halfway there: Represents the number 45 Two fat ladies: Represents the number 88 Two little fleas: Refers to the number 33 Dirty Gertie: Represents the number 30 Ignore the myths Contrary to popular belief, there are not numbers that are drawn more than others. There is an equal chance of each number being called out, including even or odd numbers, and high and low numbers. Issy-Mae said: "First and foremost, you need to have a lucky spark. Bingo is all down to luck. "I always say keep positive and go with the mindset that this is a light-hearted experience because at the end of the day bingo is fun." Miles adds: "It's known as the game of equal chance, every ball has the same chance of coming out." Top night out for a score A bingo card typically costs £2 each, but you'll usually have to buy five cards for £10. Many halls also offer bundles or packages where the cost of each ticket is less if you buy more overall. Most people enjoy playing bingo as part of a night out and will buy drinks and maybe food too. You could expect to pay £20 for ten cards, and then a wine or beer costs around £5, so it can be a relatively affordable night out. Miles Baron, chief executive of the Bingo Association, said: "You could expect a great night out for £20, or at the weekend it might be a bit more." To keep costs down, you may be able to bring your own food. Ask your local hall what you can bring and if there are any restrictions. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
