<Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them
Heehee, look at them EYES. : )
This video pleases me - I can't wait till I can finally crack the seal on Fifa 2005 - the final PSX game released.
Nice Evan!
Yay! Chavez II finally brings happiness to someone.
God knows nobody got happy playing it.

Like Super Troll Islands.
... or Happily Ever After. Or Skuljagger.

I haven't played Happily Ever After, but Super Troll Islands and Skuljagger aren't terrible games either. Really, ASC has nothing on the bad game crown of Acclaim.

Shut up, I loved that game!
... Of course I'm also Mexican and biased towards Chavez BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT

I really like the feel of opening a brand-new retro game. It's like opening a time capsule.
I have a couple of older games that I am waiting to pop the seal on
YOU RUINER OF GAMES!!!11!!1! I think I heard the shrink wrap faeries cry when those got ripped from their secure, protective coverings... I'm simply stunned, I don't know what else to say...
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

Not against opening sealed games, but you could have had a SNES ready to pop in each one and show a bit. Also, what's up with using a knife? I can understand if you're wanting them to stay in pristine condition, but 2 were beat up and 1 had the seal broken!
And, I still need 3 of those for my collection....
I may do something similar for my sealed games when the time is right. The sealed ones in my collection are the Super Star Wars trilogy (Majesco re-releases), Space Invaders, & Mohawk and Headphone Jack.

I played the shit out of Happily Ever After as a kid. Technically it was my sister's game... but I'm almost certain it was the first game I ever "beat," and I remember loving it, honestly.
I should go buy a copy and see if it's as good as I remember. Apparently not... :P
Nice! I find it sad when I see sealed games sitting around as the point of them was to play them! Enjoy!
yes i love the feeling of opening new games. probably why i buy, you know, new games. and... open them, to play.
yeah.
...
Someone should do a video for sealed games for other systems.

Shrinkwrap is a games hymen... Deflower them all! Bwahahahahaha. What good is virginity if you don't intend to lose it?
Sure I have a few sealed games, but nearly all of them are for others pleasure to pop open. There will always be a certain clientele for such things.

As I'm not familiar with the more obscure 8th-tier titles, I almost thought this whole thing was a joke. "Super Troll Islands" had me quite suspicious. I can understand writing an article about the experience; there's something literary behind scraping the dregs of the game market to satiate this "deflowering" fetish.
The UFOs and Men In Black made me do it.

I don't get the deal with opening sealed games from the past. Once you open them the value basically goes down the toilet and it never fully recreates the childhood magic of opening it.
I'm more interested in historical value than monetary value. A sealed game holds little historical value. Finding out what the contents of it is the true value. I personally think that video games are a poor investment. If I am looking for an investment, I'm going to invest in stuff like RRSPs.
