Some years-old games have become a hidden pot of gold recently, it seems - some more obscure than others.
Speaking of obscure, the PS2 horror game Obscure will rake in some good cash if you own a copy of it, and are willing to sell it of course.
And another Sony PlayStation 2 game that was banned in 2004 perhaps wouldn't grab you money but would be a straight ticket to jail if you're caught with a copy.
But now, a so-called children's game has gone viral overnight for resembling popular horror game titles.

In 2003, Piglet's Big Game was nothing more than a kid's game about Winnie The Pooh's pink piglet overcoming his fears (pretty ironic, as the game is fear-inducing itself).
The game follows Piglet as he dives into his friends’ dreams to help them solve their problems.
Along the way, he faces creepy enemies such as heffalumps, woozles, talking doors and walking mirrors that he can scare away using his 'scary faces.'
Don't be fooled as this Disney adventure game involves a familiar isometric-style camera and survival horror-style gameplay, as Piglet explores a terrifying mansion that wouldn't look out of place in Racoon City.
It’s not the first time something meant for kids has taken a dark turn, just look at the 2023 bloodthirsty Winnie the Pooh slasher movie.
The terrifying levels are accompanied by some nightmare-fuel music, which just adds to the fact this shouldn't be a children's game. Directors of the (may, I remind you Disney) Doki Denki Studio seem heavily inspired by Konami's artistic creativity.
YouTubers and content creators have been streaming the game to show viewers just what the game is like.
Those who have played the game first-hand are calling it "baby's first Resident Evil and/or Silent Hill," according to GamesRadar.
21 years later, what was originally selling for around $3.80 (£3) on eBay has now jumped 1,500 - 2,000 per cent in value.
Some reports initially stated that the game had completely sold out on the reselling platform eBay. However, some more savvy sellers have listed Piglet's Big Adventure up to extortionate prices.
After the viral Tweets and Silent Hill fans feasted eyes on it, some PlayStation 2 copies of the game are now selling for $64 (£49.99), a 1566 percent jump in value.
Meanwhile, GamesRadar came across two GameCube versions on eBay. One with an asking price of $52.57 with $30 in shipping and another asking for an eye-watering $300!
So, if you’ve got a dusty copy of Piglet’s Big Game sitting around, it might be worth digging out - it’s proof that even the most unlikely games can become a cash cow.
