A small-run PlayStation horror with high collector interest. Hard to come by, priced below its collector value and expected to rise. One for serious collectors.
Written from MyPlayersVault data as of November 2026.
Why it scores 96
MyPlayersVault rates every game on seven collector pillars. Clock Tower is strongest on collector momentum (strong), cultural relevance, format resilience and discovery potential (all high) and community endurance (sustained). Its weaker spots are franchise stability (dormant) and platform longevity (legacy).
It carries MyPlayersVault’s Ghost Protocol, Cult Classic, Platform Relic and Regional Exclusive badges, marking it as a cult classic and a regional exclusive.
Market signals
MyPlayersVault also rates five market signals, from 1 to 5.
How easy is it to find
It came out with a small, boutique print run and has never been reprinted. Copies are hard to find, and collector interest is high. With few copies and solid demand, good copies tend to get snapped up.
What it’s worth
A new North American copy is valued at around £829, with recent prices between £782 and £860. A used copy is around £180, between £170 and £187. MyPlayersVault puts its collector value at about £912 new and £194 used, so it sells for about 10% less than it’s worth to a collector. These are estimated values with low confidence, so treat them as a rough guide. Few new copies have sold recently.
Where prices are heading
Its value has been strengthening and collector interest is growing. MyPlayersVault’s three-year projection points up: new to around £1842 (about 122% higher) and used to around £400. If you want one, buying sooner may cost less than buying later. Projections are estimates, not promises.
Which region to buy
The game came out first in Japan (13 December 1996), then North America (1 October 1997) and the UK and Europe (1 February 1998). Of the releases analysed on MyPlayersVault, the UK/PAL one is the cheapest both new (£349) and used (£60). It scores highest in its North American release (96). PlayStation games are region-locked, so an import usually needs a console from the same region.
What to check before buying
- For new copies, look closely at the wrap: a resealed copy is worth less than a true factory-sealed one.
- For used copies, check the disc for scratches and make sure the manual and any inserts are there.
Clock Tower is one of the strongest collector games MyPlayersVault tracks. It’s hard to come by and priced below its collector value, with an upward outlook. For collectors, a new copy at around £829 is the one to aim for; a used copy at around £180 is the cheaper way in.
