Systems you keep for "that one game"

[le geek]

What systems to you keep for "that one game"? The ones that don't have a lot of good games (IYHO), but there is the ONE GAME you can't let go of?

For me:
Atari Jaguar: Tempest 2000 (even though it's been ported[SAT]/updated[PSX])
Sega CD: Snatcher (since I "traded up" for the PSX Lunars)


Cheers,
Ben

3DO: Star Control II

Playstation 2: Gran Tourismo 3

There are other good PS2 games, i know, but if it werent for GT3 I would probably have gotten rid of mine in favor of a game cube.

Jaguar: Tempest 2000
Colecovision: Pepper II

I only keep my N64 around for a few games (Mario 64, Golf, Zelda).

My 3DO is still mine because of Lost Eden (and slightly for "The Incredible Machine") If it wasn't for Lost Eden, I would have sold that years ago. Those are literally the only two games that I own for the console, and yes, I have tried a bunch more.

The incredible machine is not only on pc? I used to love that game, I got an award for getting to the highest level in a half hour in 5th grade. It was cool but yeah... :o

That'll be the Jag then ;)

Um. I keep a TI-99/4a and it doesn't even work! I really can't think of many systems that have only a handful (or less) of games I'd keep them for. I'd say even the CD-i has a handful of interesting titles, but nothing that I play regularly (until I find one that'll play The 7th Guest without troubles :D). The Magnavox VIS is one system that I'd keep just as a curiosity, unless this bare-bones schmup Funkenstein tells me about is worth playing.

Nope. The 3DO version is a downgraded PC port (loading takes for-ev-er) but I like it because XP and the original don't really get along. I will admit though that now that I have The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions for the PC (with XP compatibility!) I haven't really thought about the original much...

Star Ocean: Blue Sphere is about the only game I really need my Game Boy Color for. For everything else Game Boy, I'd be satisfied using Game Boy Pocket and Game Boy Advance.

Likewise, Star Ocean 3 is what made me get a PS2, and it's almost all I've used it for. Sure, Choaniki is fun as are some of my PSX imports, but it's all about the Star Ocean 3. :)

Gamecube, for Super Smash Brothers:Melee

Jaguar - Tempest 2000, and when it feels like playing it...Aliens vs. Predator, sadly my Jag doesn't like that game, so it isn't even hooked up anymore :( I also like Flip Out! in small doses.

N64 - Mario Golf is pretty much the only reason I have that system, and now that I've beaten it...not sure if it's still worth keeping, except that I'm a packrat...a couple other games I'd like to try, but more I just don't like.

Every other system (including my Game.com, which I think died on me a day or two ago) I have at least 5 games I like, most of them 10+

Oh hell ya. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is one of my favorite games and I can't understand a freaking word of it. I can't wait until August when the US version is released....which will include all the extras that the director's cut had. IE: Extra characters, 2 player battle mode, extra costumes...etc.

Though, I bought my Japanese model PS2 for Full Metal Alchemist...which will be out in the US as well.

Now Goat Store Dan mentioned Lost Eden on the 3DO - it seems there's a CD-i version as well. Is either version superior?

[Nez]

Mac power pc.

Oregon Trail
and Decent 2

[maxlords]

Jaguar for the Aliens Vs. Predator

Amiga for Awesome

That's about it.

I wouldn't know if either of those is superior, but there is a Lost Eden for the PC that somehow managed to be way worse than the 3DO version. The story for that game really pulls me into it, and about once a year I feel compelled to see the story again.

Has anyone else happened to play it?

Amiga for Awesome

Wow really? No Cannon Fodder, Lemmings, Chaos Engine, Pinball Dreams, Rocket Ranger, Starglider 2, Beast etc? :)

How far can you get in Awesome BTW? A beautiful but HARD game...
