    Default If you could keep only one item of your collection.....

    What would it be? Since it's only one item, it would be more for sentimentality than anything else if we're talking non-dedicated consoles since a system without a game or vice versa wouldnt be much fun to play. Anyway, if you only could keep one thing, what would it be?

    I'd keep my original NES. Just looking at it brings back so many good memories, how when I first saw a display in K Mart, how I used to dream about owning one, the first time I played SMB....there are too many memories wrapped up in that gray box for me to keep anything else.

    If emulation don't count, I'll probably have to settle for NES. Otherwise I'd takle DC as it could play just about everything via emulation.

    The Odyssey 2. With or without the voice. Still my favorite. But I think everyone here knows that already. :P

    *stares at collection* *stares at blank screen* *stares at collection again*

    Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    Damn that's a hard choice. Honestly, of everything I have, I'd keep my SNES. I love the old 16 bit RPGs more than 99% of the modern ones, and I still dig all those great SNES action games too. There's a lot of love in that little system

    I'd have to choose my Atari Video Pinball. Besides my Coleco Telstar Marksman, the Video Pinball was the only console I had until I bought a Genesis. I grew up with that thing, and having no siblings, its crude versions of Pinball and Breakout were the only companions I had *sniffle.* I love that little woodgrain pinball/breakout playin' thing!

    I would have to keep Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt for the NES. I have so many memories playing DH with my mom for hours as a kid.

    Wonderboy III for the SMS, but since I could only keep a single item, I'd just stare at it without the game system to play it on.

    I'd keep my Vic-20. I have other systems from the pre-crash era up to the N64, but this little computer gives me as much joy now as it did back in the 80's.

    Samurai Spirits 4 homecart. It's the most I ever paid for a game, and it's damn good too.

    I'd keep Metal warriors for the SNES, assuming that I still had an snes. I love that game so freaking much, best two player action ever.

    I'd take either Xenogears for the PSX or Radiant Silvergun for the Saturn. I guess I could always find a system later, although that would be hard if we took our chosen game with us on a spacecraft to colonize another planet, or if we carried it around while wandering the ravaged wastes of a post-apocalyptic Earth. This kind of "choose only one thing" question always makes me wonder what sort of situation would require me to make such a decision.

    I'd keep my Starwing Competition Cart, aside from personal reasons, it's just smegging cool to play and unlike my other games I doubt very much I'd have a chance to play the game again in any form.

    I'd keep my PS2 as long as I can still play PS1 games on it?

    SNES would be second choice.

    I gotta go with the good ol' Atari 2600. I love this little workhorse. And, if I could only keep one game for it - hmmmm - it'd have to be either Halloween (I love this game) or Pitfall II.

    (I'd also want to keep the vaporware, never-programmed, its-existence-is-only-a-nonsubstantiated-rumor Futurama game.....if it had ever been finished, of course. :P )
