A PlayStation action & adventure with a small, quiet following. Not hard to find, priced close to its collector value and expected to rise. Worth owning if it’s on your list, but not one to chase.
Written from MyPlayersVault data as of October 2026.
Why it scores 34
MyPlayersVault rates every game on seven collector pillars. None of its pillars stands out as a real strength; the best are format resilience (moderate) and discovery potential (emerging). Its weaker spots are collector momentum, franchise stability and community endurance (all dormant), cultural relevance (niche) and platform longevity (legacy).
It carries MyPlayersVault’s Platform Relic badge.
Market signals
MyPlayersVault also rates five market signals, from 1 to 5.
How easy is it to find
It came out with a standard print run and has never been reprinted. Copies turn up regularly, and collector demand is niche. Supply comfortably covers the people looking for it.
What it’s worth
A new UK/PAL copy is valued at around £163, with recent prices between £147 and £179. A used copy is around £32, between £19 and £42. MyPlayersVault puts its collector value at about £161 new and £32 used, close to what it sells for. These are estimated values with medium confidence. Few new copies have sold recently.
Where prices are heading
Its value has been steady and collector interest is quiet. MyPlayersVault’s three-year projection points up: new to around £249 (about 53% higher) and used to around £42. 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 North America (1 July 1997), then the UK and Europe (14 November 1997). Of the releases analysed on MyPlayersVault, the UK/PAL one is the cheapest both new (£163) and used (£32). It scores highest in its North American release (46). 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.
Hercules is a middling collector game. It’s not hard to find and priced close to its collector value, with an upward outlook. If you want one to play, a used copy at around £32 is the sensible buy.
