Shantae

Shantae was released for the Gameboy Color in 2002, about a year after the release of the Gameboy Advance. Due to this, the game fell into obscurity. Becoming a cult classic among collectors, as well as it being the first entry to the series, it is highly sought after.

Being a side-scroller and platformer, Shantae revolves around a girl named Shantae, whose town is invaded by pirates, stealing a prototype steam engine from the town's treasure hunter. She must find four magical elemental stones to power the engine in order to stop the vile pirate leader, Risky Boots.

Currently, Shantae can sell for almost $2,500 CIB and about $500 for the cartridge alone.
