I have a sega saturn promo video from toys r us from way back in the day.
Incredibly wierd (there is a big biker dude in a tutu doing ballet)
Not worth anything, and incredibly strange, but it is awesome none the less.

My Ice Hockey box (NES) I got signed by Wendal Clark when I was 6 years old.
For those who don't know who Wendel Clark is, enjoy this video of the greatest hockey player to EVER play the game.

Once upon a time, I made maps on graph paper for Willow (NES) . . . for the entire game.Originally Posted by c0ldb33r
To everyone that has said that they have their own home made maps for games - please scan them. I'd love to see them. I love stuff like that
Just buy another one used and swap out the innards.
I have an almost complete collection of nintendo magazines that came out in the earl nineties the wife keeps bugging me to get rid of them (along with all my games) but i just finished bagging them all up like my comics so they wont get damaged i knoe they will never be worth anything but i have had them this long so why not a little longer
Game Empire sharewarez CD-ROM
god bless you, softkey
Heh, lots of it.
I'm really into NES memorbillia due to either having it when I was young or wanting it!
My How to Win at Nintendo games books... have had them since they were new!
My original SMB/DH manual... in giant orange marker in the notes section it says "SUPER MARIO IS HARD"... I was like 3 years old haha
Probably more stuff too... but that's what I can remember now!
I enjoy the five "Game Player's GameTapes" I picked up a few months ago (circa 1989 VHS tapes with tips for NES games). Especially the Double Dragon section of Tape 1, where the announcer tells us to "avoid the statactatas" (I think he meant "stalactites"), and on the Konami special tape where they start giving generic tips for RPGs... while talking about Castelvania.

An old, beat up copy of Lufia for SNES. The cart likes to delete saves if it doesn't boot the first time it's turned on, but it has alot of history.
My cousin started me with RPGs by having me rank up in it. Which in turn led me to actually start playing the game. By that time I was hooked and started playing lots of RPGs.
After he passed, I ended up with the copy, and started to play again. My girlfriend for some strange reason really wanted to search for items in the flowers, and I had her do some ranking up for fun. Same thing happened, she started getting into the game and started playing RPGs here and there.
Maybe I'll pass it on to someone someday. It still has my cousin's save on it
My original NES. It has the box but it's not in the best shape and the system doesn't work (probably needs to have the connector replaced).
Back in '97 I was at a boarding school where I didn't have any internet access. So over the summer one year, I printed out every classic gaming FAQ and classic gaming website I regularly read and put them all into one huge ass binder. That way I could read them while I was off at school. I still look at it from time to time because it's neat to see the webpages as they were 10 years ago (although you can do the same thing with archive.org).
I also used to have a few xeroxed "fanzines" a classmate of mine printed out back in the late 80's. The guy put a bunch of NES and Gameboy reviews, walkthroughs and cheat codes. Everything was hand written with hand drawn illustrations. It was incredibly crude, but the walkthroughs and cheats were easier to reference than digging them up out of a stack of Nintendo Powers.
Unfortunately, I kept the fanzines along with all my NES era Nintendo Power magazines in a plastic garbage cab in my room. One day the cleaners decided they must be trash and threw them all out...
Another favorite item of mine that I just remembered after seeing it in the closet when I had to look for something.
A large Wild ARMs 3 display. It's one of my favorite games so I asked if I could have the display. I would have also had a large Dragon Quest 8 stand up display but someone at Gamestop threw it away the day after the games release. Even after I asked the store manager for it and she said I could pick it up.
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
That's great! I think I still have a copy of a one-off fanzine I did titled "Modern Gamer." It featured a couple of reviews of Master System games. I should dig that up.I also used to have a few xeroxed "fanzines" a classmate of mine printed out back in the late 80's.
If you can't do it with 8 bits, you don't need to do it!
My copy of Earthbound. This was kicking around my local Wal-Mart well into the life of the N64, and I think even the beginning of the Dreamcast. They finally reduced it to $29 one day in what I want to say was late '99 or early 2000. Of course I finally bit and ended up playing the game twice in the following year. What strikes me as odd is that despite kicking around in a retail store, with a box that big for so long, it's actually in decent shape. I think more of the wear was done by myself than the store itself, but I still find it a miracle that I even bothered to hang onto the box at the time.
Not that the game is worthless, but I just wanted to share the story.
Also, this little SotC standee I have, as seen in the right of this picture:

Some of mine:
- My Nintendo Power ads from various Nintendo games over the years. I have many I've gathered over the years; some going as far back as the late '80s and early '90s
- A beat-up copy of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the Sega Genesis. It's the only game out of the 8 I got with my Genesis back in 2004 that I still have my original copy of (The rest where either sold off or replaced with a copy that is in much better shape).
Two things:
My original NES controller from 1987. I allowed my friend to borrow my NES sometime in 1996 and he "lost" it, but I still have the controller.
A letter from Nintendo giving me $10 off my next 8 bit NES game. This was a result of the class action lawsuit against Nintendo for fixing prices on the NES to $99. Unfortunately, the lawsuit wasn't settled until 1992 or something, so the coupons were virtually useless at that point.
My Super Mario Bros. NES box that I'd picked up at Funcoland for like 50 cents back in the mid-nineties (I'd let somebody borrow my SMB/Duck Hunt, as they'd bought the NES that came with World Cup Soccer... never got it back).
Anyhoo, the SMB game came complete with box... which is now stuffed with all my old NES instruction manuals.

I have one of the little wind up pac-man. He has a little ghost sticker in his mouth. You wind him up and he goes, and he opens and closes his mouth.
