What Are the Top 5 Items In Your Video Game Collection?

1. Sega Saturn Console
2. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)
3. Microvision Handheld (wish the buttons would respond right, but what can you expect from a 32 year old handheld?)
4. Mega Man Legends (PS1)
5. The Illustrated History of Electronic Gaming book (It's a freaking amazing, fantastic book with full color pictures, interviews with the creators and programmers, and a detailed history of the gaming industry as a whole.)

I had a Sega CD Model 2, but it stopped wanting to read discs, I also had a Commodore 64 with a crapload of games but it got the black screen of death, and I had a TurboGrafx-16 which my cat broke. If I still had those, they'd be up on that list.

1) Panzer Dragoon Saga (PAL)

2) Lunar 2 on the PS1 , with all the extras.

3) My Saturn , which plays games from every region due to being powered by pixie dust

4) 3DO console

5) my Hori PS1 and Saturn arcade sticks.

how should I define top 5? in what?

I don't really own any super rare games

1) Metal Gear Solid Series

That list is for games that are most valuable to me, not the most valuable in terms of price.

2. Tetris DS (I know it's not rare, but I've been seeing copies going for $60+ lately on most auction sites)

4 ico

5 rush 2049

shenmue and especially shenmue 2 head and shoulders above all else btw

Do you know if either of these copies are the version 1.0 grey?

If you can't tell from the pic, how can I tell from looking at the cartridge?

zeldaspeedruns.com/oot/generalknowledge/version-differences

this page should help you.

I'm going to limit this to games.

1. Persona 2 Innocent Sin/Tsumi

2. Xenogears

3. Xenosaga Ep. I

4. Silent Hill

5. Final Fantasy VIII JP ver.

I'm considering these my top 5 because they're probably the most important for me to own.

My #1 item is by far my TAITO Egreet II arcade cabinet.

For a long time I also had this cool original NEO*GEO cabinet but I sold it a couple of years ago since realistically I didn't think I was ever going to use it again.

#2 would be a tie between my MD carts of MUSHA ALESTE and BATTLE MANIA : DAIGINJOU. They're not my most expensive or rarest of games, but I just love them.

Right now I'm also loving my X68000 expert. I still can't believe it only cost me around US$70 since it's in perfect condition with all documentation and it even came with a pretty cool and sturdy joy pad, which now I use for all my retro PC gaming.

Good thing the Japanese PC fans only care about the top models. But for me all I care is that it runs all the games.

My copy of PANORAMA COTTON also deserves special mention because it was a pain in the arse to find it back then before the internet. I remember I read about the game in a magazine of the time, but it took a couple of years for me to be able to find it by sheer luck. Not a lot of copies were made in the first place, and even less that left Japan at the time.

1.- Shenmue 2 on the DC

2.- The deluxe edition of Digital Devil Saga

3.- Metroid Prime Trilogy

4.- Tetris DS

5.- Conker's Bad Fur Day with manual

[QUOTE="rilpas"] 5) System Shock 2Dudersaper

1. Ninja Gaiden 2 (with original box and manual. Not in mint condition, but still).

2. Fire Emblem 7 (Favorite game)

3. Electroplantion ( Three years ago I wanted to buy this game, but never had the money or patience to bid on one in ebay until last summer).

4. Pikmin 2 (Awesome game).

5 Genesis with Sega CD (My dad gave me his genesis and I attend to keep it).

1. Dragon Quest VIII (PS2) 2. Runouni Kenshin Enjou! Kyoto Rinne (PS2) 3. The Longest Journey/Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (1st on PC and 2nd on XBOX) 4. Robot Alchemic Drive (PS2) 5. DBZ Budokai 3 These are all games that I value the most in my collection, not because of rarity or price value, just personal value.Dudersaper

You have good taste so I HAVE to see what Dreamfall and Robot Alchemic Drive are.:)

1. Snow Brothers - NES

2. Top-loader NES

3. Pikmin 2 - GC

4. Sealed Mighty Morphing Power Rangers - SEGA CD

5. Sega 32X (Where else can you get Blast Processing and 32 bits of power?)

I bought my copy like in US$38 when the average Japanese SS game used to cost 50-70.

ESP publisher used to sell their games lower than standard retail price.

I think back then western import shops sold the game more as part of shooting game bundles than as a stand alone game. Most print ads I saw in USA magazines had it like that.

incidentally its not even the most expensive game on the Saturn , that title goes to Psychic Assassain Taromaru, which Ive seen go for about £200+ for the rare times Ive seen it on Ebay.

Ive got to admit, its a nice 2D/3D combo , thats how Shinobi X should have been tbh.

"Sky Odyssey" (PS2)

"Metroid Prime" (NGC)

"Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem" (NGC)

"Drakan: The Ancients' Gates" (PS2)

"Call of C'Thulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth" (Xbox)

Special Mention for "Super MonkeyBall" (NGC) because it's some of the best fun you can have with your clothes on, and "REEL Fishing" (PS1) for greatest relaxation ever to hit a game. MAN I love "REEL Fishing"! I'm not kidding.

;)

lol yes I did; to this day it is the most I've ever spent on a single game. I bought it for just a hair over $100 when it was going for around $150 on Ebay. Well worth every cent though, however people can now enjoy it on XBLA for like $10. . .
