Wow. I wasn't even aware that game existed for the Jaguar. And for $450+? Yikes!

For a run of games, what was the highest priced in relation to the original MSRP?

there was no MSRP IIRC
it was a self published home brew thing

Yep, Malenko is right.  Only a small amount were ever published.  And only 1 Cartridge of Gorf for the Jaguar was ever made and that went to the person who made the game.

The company behind the CD version recently tried to publish more, but Midway (Holder of most of the rights I believe) said no.  So, there will be no more copies ever made.

They say it's the best arcade adaptation on any system, but I wonder how it compares to the original, playable in MAME.

Alien vs Predator made it all worthwhile for the Jaguar...

You could buy an actual Gorf machine for less than that.

There are a couple of Atari 2600 games that go crazy, like into the thousands... Air Raid by a company called Menavision is one, and there is another called Condor Attack by a company called Ultravision. Both were very limited production based on them being small companies that tanked, etc.
