I really want Earthbound and Castlevania Dracula X. I'm hoping one of these days I'll find them at the flea market I go to often. I just never seem to have the extra cash for these games :(

I used to own a pirated Gimmick for my famiclone back in the 90s and ever since 1up did that youtube retrospective on the game, I've been wanting to get the original Famicom cart. Much too expensive for me though :(

Yeah I know how you feel. You just got to get lucky and hit the flea markets at the right time when a fresh collection goes up for grabs. Some of my most expensive games were picked up for a few bucks thanks to being at the right place at the right time but it took a lot of perseverance.

The thrill of the hunt, as they say.

A Japanese candy cab of Power Stone would be my choice but arcade games aside, I would choose Gimmick! for the Famicom.

I've been keeping a close eye on ebay for a few years now but they never get cheap enough for me. One sold for like $350 a few months ago. 0_0

Arcade wise I have to say I've always dreamed of having a Rush arcade, Alcatraz Edition, or really just any of them, maybe a twin one, hehe.

Yeah, That's what my birthday is for. Make other people pay for the games I am too cheap to buy.

I think as far as real DC games, I like downloading a backup to see if I like the game before I spend whatever amount of money on a game. And if I like it then I might be prone to getting a real copy. It's not like you can rent games anymore. Especially for the DC :D

For me it would be Panzer Dragoon Saga, I used to own it and can't find it now... :oops:

For one that I have never owned, I would say Mega Man X3 for the Saturn (pal) is up there, with X3 for the SNES.
