What is you "status piece" in your collection?

[Crabmaster2000]

My collection isn't that impressive, except to non-collectors. My "status piece" is probably just my Aladdin Deck Enhancer with Dizzy the Adventurer. It's not incredibly valuable, but I really like that I actually found it in the wild in 1997 when they were a little harder to come across than they are now. It was at a weird little store in or near Washingtonville, NY called "What's Hot" that, at the time, mostly sold yo-yos.

I dont remember yo-yo's being "hot" in 1997, lol.

Oh yeah. They went through a brief bout of popularity around 1997-2000 (my dates are surely not exact). They weren't the hottest thing ever, but at the time a lot of people were spending decent money on high-quality yo-yos and parts.

*EDIT* Actually, now that I recall, yo-yos were pretty popular at least a few years earlier than 1997.

My copy of Home Alone for the Sega Genesis.

At first I didn't think I had one as I'm not too concerned about impressing anyone with my collection, but I think this oddity qualifies:

Motion Controls from 1983!

Note: I got the pic from an images search, but I assure you my board is as mint as a twenty-seven year old peripheral can be since there was only one game that was designed with it in mind and that game sucked!

For me its my imported V-Saturn. Since no one else I know is a retro-gamer much less an import gamer, its the piece that I feel sets me a part. Almost like my trophy piece.

What is your "status piece"?

Which model V-Saturn do you have? 1 or 2?

I've got one of those joyboards too. Have you ever used it? I'm a little afraid I'd break it.

Probably my SuperGrafx. I am its first owner, and probably its last unless my unborn kids want to inherit my systems.

My old favorite was a Hitachi Saturn, but I sold it since I like my Skeleton Saturn better.

Did you get your Super Grafx when it was first released?

For Saturns, I prefer the original grey one.


Here is my original Japanese Game Boy. It was bought new by my wife, so it's not second hand at all. The box is a bit beat up, but oh well!

[ZeroAX]

My Mega Drive 2, and my original copies of Sonic and Knuckles and Sonic 2.

They aren't rare or anything, but they are the first 2 video games I ever owned.

I bought a Sonic 2 copy from ebay, in much better condition than my copy (I bought it used 14 years ago) but I just can't get rid of my first games. Same with the Mega Drive. I've given away a GameBoy, a GBcolor a GBA a Gamecube a PS2 fat a DS fat, but I can never give away my Mega Drive.


Also my copy of Super Mario Land 2 in its box in mint condition. Was super lucky to find one in 2004, 12 years after release, and there's no way in hell I'm ever letting anyone even touch it
