    as I already have the gold nwc, mines would be a unreleased proto. But as i can't stop spending money on proto's (the crack of collecting as Adam called it..) it seems out of the question to ever get one.

    My holy grail for now, are two pieces of hardware for the NES

    1- The "NES Joystick Testing Box" that was used in the service center bakc in the day to test the joysticks on the NES.

    I know the testing cart for this exist (it's in the DP Guide) but this piece of hardware must be ver hard ton find.

    2- The "Hotseat Game Chair" (also in the DP Guide) if anybody apart me own this let me know. I seem i'm the only one right now who have this !
    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.

    Somebody once told me to get a life.

    I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.

    A Space Wars coin-op. I love that game, but playign two people on a computer is really hard, and the vectrex one just isn't as good.

    I know it's not that hard to find, but I'm cheap and I don't want to pay the asking prices. But, I've always wanted Tengen Tetris for NES, and the day I find it at the thrift store/flea market/garbage whatever, I'll be on Cloud 9 for weeks.

    I even have the game on 2 of my 3 famicom pirate carts, but I want the actual cart. LOVE that game, best version of Tetris I've ever played.

    StarFox Super Weekend more than Donkey Kong Competition but both will we pretty equally expensive to obtain. By the time I get both of these, I will probubly be done with collecting SNES games.

    Also, Star Castle complete for Vectrex. Another expensive one but not as expensive as the other 2. And Polar Rescue complete, another expensive one.

    bump.

    i'm seriously going for gold here.

    kizuna encounter for AES. i had a dream where i stole a factory sealed copy from snk headquarters and sold it for a million bucks.

    i'd settle for a cool blue Air Raid 2600 cart though.

    Hrmmm, I'd have to say my holy grail would have to be every game treasure has developed in the box, along with Japanese imports on ones where the language/story isn't as important. Number one on that list is currently Ikaruga. Right now, I have Gunstar Heroes and Gunstar Heroes (Game Gear). Although my genny copy isn't boxed....

    Why is Ninja Gaiden Trilogy selling for $90 on Amazon.com? Why is Ninja Gaiden III selling for $30 on Amazon.com? Those were common games back in the day. In fact, my sister and I received Ninja Gaiden III one Christmas. I liked the first two much better.

    My wants vary depending on such variables as time, what I've been playing lately, ambient temperature, and what I had for lunch, but right now I think the prize goes to a boxed copy of Castlevania Dracula X for SNES. It's the only Castlevania game I haven't beaten.

    A close second would be Suikoden I and II.

    My personal Holy Grail would be my complete copy of Metroid 2: Return of Samus.

    The games I would LOVE to own would be Megaman X2 and X3 complete for the *PAL* SNES

    Default Your Holy Grail

    Ok i have been wanting to ask this for awhile as a collector i want to know what you would consider your holy grail, what is the one game,console or item that your collection needs or has it dosnt have to be rare just that one thing you must have or already have
    for me it has to be a mint condition 100% complete copy of legend of zelda link to the past i had one but it was stolen when those nice people came and cleaned me out about 12 months ago, i have a colpy of it now but its not 100% complete and its far from mint.
    so lets hear it ladies and gents im curious to hear what you have to say and who knows maybe we could find some of these gems
