    Default Do You Own any Videogame Related "one-of-a-kinds"?

    Do you own anything videogame related that NO ONE ELSE has? This doesn't necessarily have to be some rare and priceless artifact - it could also be something that was custom made or designed for you specifically.

    Here are two examples, one from each category.

    Atari 2600 8-in-1 Prototype - I can't actually guarantee that this is a one-of-a-kind item, but it's the only one known to exist (it's been in the CGE museum for three years now). This was to be a late-release 2600 game by Atari with 8 older titles on it. They did release a 32-in-1 in Europe which employs much the same technology.

    Space Fury Guy Mask - You may have seen this in my game room or even at a Digital Press booth in the past. It's rarely worn and was originally created using the ColecoVision version of the alien commander from the Sega arcade game. It was designed by a professional mask maker in 2001 for the ten year anniversary of Digital Press.

    It's not one of a kind, but it's damn low (probably single digits) production, and I don't know how many others there actually are, but I have one of these:

    Mine is purple, not black. I got it from Ron Corcoran last year...

    I have some promo cards from the Bandai Intellivision's release in Japan. They may not be one of a kind, but it's as close as I get with my paltry collection. I've never seen them elsewhere, and would love to have any information if anyone knows about them.

    well, that mega drive six-pack cart i own still seems to be a one-of-a-kind, though i don't think it really is, noone else on this board (and several others boards) owns it

    Nothing to brag about here :D

    Just that HP-95lx handheld, but that's not a gaming machine. It would make a rather poor GameBoy; imagine any problems you might have with the N-Gage's keys and imagine instead a keyboard made up of late-80s style plastic rectangular keys (thankfully rounded on the edges) and each key being less than a centimeter across. Not the hardest machine to use, but far from the easiest.

    I've got a boxed, with instructions, AND with original send-in coupon for Chase the Chuck Wagon.

    I've never heard of anyone else ever who has it complete and has the coupon. I've only heard of one or two other complete versions without the coupon. I've never even heard of anyone else having the coupon.

    Oh, I got a bunch few protos too, but there are likely multiples out there of most of them.

    I have one NES proto (it's more a "preview" cart since i didnt saw any difference with it and is release version). The game is Karate Kid.

    Also a Super Mario Bros Kraft Dinner promotional poster from Kraft. I got this one in 1989-90 and it have different scenes from SMB 1. I dont know anybody else who have this.

    Finally, my NES "Hot Seat Game chair". (listed in the DP addendum)
    Oh eBay! you are such a pain, I am addicted to you like crack cocaine. You offer things I cannot find in stores,You are the pimp, and we are all your whores.

    I may not be the only person with the following items, but I've never seen doubles of any of these:

    -Wanderers from Ys for PC -9801 with Adol Mousepad and Hardcover Book
    -Tsuyoshi Shikkari Shinasai Taisen Pazurudama for the Super Famicom
    -Super Real Mahjong PIV Art Book
    -Super Mario Bros. 3 Chinese(?) Guide (May be Japanese, but it is full of Kanji and nothing else!)

    I jUst remembered something:

    I used to have a Final Fantasy II poster for the US release of the NES version, which as we all know never came out. It was a letter size poster/promo thing that I puked on once by accident when I was 14. It was one of those things that were sent to stores to hang in the window to promote upcoming games.

    God I kick myself for that now...

    My Pac Man bed spread/pillow combo deal is of course original. I do own a Half Life Dreamcast oversized box and I'm sure not many of those are still around.

    Nothing really. I do have a pre-release Fantasy Zone and Ghost House... but I actually have 2 copies of the Fantasy Zone, so those don't count.

    And I USED TO have a copy of the unreleased 99.5% finished Beachhead 2k for the PSX, but I traded it away.
