    I passed on complete copies of Suikoden II and Tactics Ogre, Suikoden II for $50 and Tactics Ogre for $35. Since then, I've gotten two Suikoden IIs to feel better about it. I have yet to get Tactics Ogre. I also regret losing my Snowboard Kids 2 game. And selling my N64 and a LOT of games to get what I thought was a huge amount back then (it's been about two years). I regret that, since that was before I was a collector.

    Hmmm....loooong list.

    I regret:

    -Picking up that damned FF7 official strategy guide in EB and reading it before I owned the game. It spoiled one of gaming's best moments for me (death of Aeris)

    -Selling my SFC Jr., AV Famicom, CDX, Wonderswan, Saturn, R4 Limited Jogcon boxset, and tons of other stuff.

    -Not buying Elemental Gearbolt last weekend for $20

    -Not buying that mint white Saturn in Hong Kong for $80

    -Losing the poster that went along with my VERSUS FF7 Guide

    This list could go on forever....I am just a walking gaming tragedy.

    I still hope that the day we clean out our attic, I'll find all my missing games. I regret not keeping better watch on them when we moved. They went in a box and into the attic (In theory) so I haven't seen them for.. well, going on two years tomorrow.

    [Crossing fingers]

    There are probably at least two dozen assorted GB, NES, SNES, N64 and Cube games up there. (In theory)

    Selling off my:

    TG-16 CD/Turboduo systems and games. I even had the Turboexpress w/ TV tuner.

    My 1st Sega Genesis collection (I'm on my 2nd now).

    My 1st SNES collection (also on my 2nd).


    I was dumb. x_x

    I've sold my N64 together with a boxed Zelda and Mario 64. Still don't regret it at all... But what I regret is throwing away all the boxes from my Super-Nes games. At least I have the manuals but I wouldn't do this again.

    Regarding moments in gaming itself: I've beaten Baldur's Gate for the first time (on the PS2) and because of this an extra mode opened up. Guess it was extra hard or something like that. When I wanted to open it I had to load the warrior from the saved game to play. Unfortunately I pressed the wrong buttons and instead of loading the warrior I've deleted the saved game. Which meant I had to restart from scratch with playing...

    Selling my Atari 7800 and all my games, including my dad's old 2600 games, to buy Astyanax on NES. I was about 11 at the time, so I blame it on youthful stupidity.

    Going to replace that setup someday I hope

    I regret throwing away all of my Nintendo Power magazines. I had ALL of them for the first few years.

    Also, on a different note, when my brother erased my Dragon Warrior 4 save file 28 hours in... that hurt.

    Passed up an NWC cart before I knew what it was and what it was worth.

    It sounds like a joke, but seriously.

    That and I traded away my Megaman games for store credit at Gamestop.

    God, I feel everyone's pain in this thread.

    Here's what I've gotten rid of over the years. Please note that I'm now getting back into everything that I've pawned, and am currently paying out the *** to do so. So, as a note to everyone out there that hasn't figured this out: DO NOT, under any circumstances, get rid of your games. Keep them. I guarantee you, sometime down the line, you'll get that nostalgic feeling and want to experience them again. Just don't do it. Please.

    Anyway, here's my list of the things that I've gotten rid of over the years:

    Turbo Duo system, with many classic games (Ys, Cosmic Fantasy, Beyond freaking Shadowgate, you name it. This one hurts the most, btw. I had the Duo when everyone else was going crazy over the SNES. I remember getting Beyond Shadowgate at a store for cheap. Imagine getting that game at an actual store. I'll stop rambling now.)

    Sega Saturn system with Pro Action Replay 4-in-1, Dragon Force, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Guardian Heroes, Radiant Silvergun (I remember buying this at EB because I thought it looked cool, and it was) and many others.

    PSX games: Suikoden 1 & 2, Persona 1 & 2, Valkyrie Profile.

    Dreamcast, Gameboy with Castlevanias, and Chrono Trigger, Illusion of Gaia, and many others for SNES.

    What's sad is that a lot of these trades went toward store credit or something equally as stupid. I'm kicking myself everyday for getting rid of this stuff.

    years ago I needed money to pay bills so I pawned my genesis and 28 games and the snes back when games were 59.00 and the systems were 200.00 he gave me 80.00 when I went to pay him back 3 days later and pick up my stuff he told me the genesis and games were gone. First time in my life i wanted to kill someone. I was young and he clearly took advantage of me.hence never again and he has since gone out of business and I rebuilt my empire. But what goes around comes around.
