What is your prized possession (videogame)

Post by gennss »

Of all the games you guys have, not necessarily whats considered by the community to be a holy grail, what is YOUR most prized game.

for me, its Ikaruga Dreamcast, even though its not as expensive as lets say border down or whatever, its by far my most prized item in my whole videogame collection.

edit: Price probably doesn't matter, I'm looking for emotional attachment. The disc/cartridge or whatever that you own and adore the most.

For me it would have to be my copy of Zelda II The Adventures of Link signed by Shigeru Miyamoto. I know Zelda II isn't that valuable money wise, But it's creator is one of my biggest inspirations.

Probably my copy of Psychic Killer Taromaru for the SEGA Saturn, the only game i've paid silly money for - but thats only prized because of how expensive it is, my most prized based on how much I enjoy the game would have to be my boxed copy of Rise of the Triad: Darkwar for the PC.

i would say my most prized game is probably all my mario games.. i own all of the main console releases, and i know its typical but mario games usually are my favorite on any console..

but the most valuable games (which arent extremely valuable) i own are conkers bad fur day for n64, and shining force for genesis. the latter of which im especially proud of because i got it complete in its box for free at my local game shop, the only flaw is a tiny wear in the label. but i'm not a collector so it doesnt bother me. awesome.

My most prized is probably my boxed copy of MUSHA. I love that game to death and even though it's missing the manual, I still look at it like a proud father. I love the artwork on that game too.

A very close second would probably all the complete shining series games I own. Shining Force 1, 2, 3 and CD. Shining in the Darkness, Shining the Holy Ark, and Shining Wisdom. Even if I sold off most of my games, I would always keep these.

Probably my copy of battlesphere Gold for the Atari Jaguar. I don't even like playing it anymore after looking at the prices that it goes for on ebay. $400+ (i paid $160 for it when it came out)

The game in my collection that I could never give up would be my copy of Nights Into Dreams. I bet a lot of you saw that coming.

There's just something about boxed games, just the knowledge that I was the first player to put his hands on the 3D pad that was built eleven years before and play a CD that was never played...

That kind of stuff gets you attached to a game. I almost feel like I gave that game a gamer's home, and that selling it would be like taking that home away, like it would be forgotten for another decade.

For nostalgia it would be my copy of bubble bobble for ps1, many great hours of practice with me and my sister on that one, the highest level we got to on 2 player is 87.

For monetary value my AES copy of kof 98'

But theres so many more...so i'll stop here 8)

My Legend of Zelda for the NES that I still have the box and manual for even though it has survived countless perils and my copy of Indy Fate of Atlantis for the PC. Both games my brothers and I poured hours into trying to beat, I would not get rid of them for cheap.
