What would happen to your games if you die tomorrow?

My kids. I showed them the value of my Vectrex, Gamecube PSO and Bounty Bob as examples.
So they can make money and sell to a real collector instead of dumping rarities and getting lost in Goodwill.

To those who'd say they'd bury their collections with you... why? I just don't understand that at all. It just sounds downright selfish to me.

Have a family member put them up on ebay or something so another collector can enjoy them at least, a ton of old games just buried next to a dead guy, never to be played again is just a terrible thought.

I plan to have my video games assembled into the funeral pyre on which my body will be burnt. This pyre will be shaped like a dragon's snout.

And then the combined ashes of my body and my video games will be poured into plastic, which will be used to make another run of Mario Bros / Duck Hunt, to be distributed to those who attended the funeral.

Circle of life, people.

Leave the Lion King back in the grave where it belongs, please. I hate that movie. And wouldn't you want to be made into a game worth more than $1?

I apparently have low self esteem. Note I didn't ask to be "Earthbound" or "Chrono Trigger," because all of you guys were gonna be all like "who does this guy think he is?"

Can't be that low, you could have asked to be Big Rigs or Army Men Green Rogue. Personally, I would want to be Earthbound, or MGS3 Subsistence.

I'd be buried with them, in an 8-bit shrine of awesomeness.

I've always thought that I would like leave all of my games to one of my friends, but a few weeks ago we were joking about if I was to go missing while on my way to get a bus, and he said that he wouldn't want my games because "I have too many", but he would take my PC. I told him no way in hell that he would get my PC because I've seen how he treats his (he uses Real Player for everything) and it would kill me (again) to think of what he would do to my PC.


That just leaves me with one friend that would appreciate my games, so I would guess he would get them.

My DVDs I would like to be divided between two of my friends and my sister.

The only thing I have no idea where it would go is my computers. I have no friends that are as into computers as me and I wouldn't like to see them(from heaven) not being used.

One can only ask to be reincarnated as "Earthbound" after having lived a life of immaculate moral virtue. That's the way the karmic cycle works.

If you're really serious about wanting to be "Earthbound," you should look into giving away all your worldly possessions to the needy, then spending the rest of your life giving sponge baths to some leper colony in Calcutta.
