I'd have to go with my original release of Diddy Kong Racing for the N64. I received it as a late Christmas gift in January 1998 (Just a week after New Year's Day), and while it may not be in not that great of shape, it has remained the single most important part of my collection due to how many childhood memories it brings back whenever I play it.
I eventually hope to have a full Neo-Geo MVS cabinet, but I have no room for it now.

One thing I desire for a complete Working Designs collection is…this…
I won't be finding it anytime soon and if I do I won't be able to afford it now
It's an old picture of it so it's not the greatest way to show it but I don't wanna take another picture of it when it's already on my computer....
BEHOLD!
It may have been the biggest waste of 120 bucks but I <3 it

Fox Gamecube
I haven't been collecting long enough to know for sure what my ultimate "Holy Grail" would be, but right now I really want one of those Foxhound Gamecubes.
I think the rarest item in my collection is my copy of FFVII. It may be a Greatest Hits copy, but it has this misprint on the inside labels with Sephiroth on both sides. Which I think is rarer then a regular GH copy. Though any good complete copy could fetch some good amounts.
Also of note is my gold cartridge of LOZ: Ocarina of Time and black label edition of Castlevania Symphony of the Night. While these aren't very rare (though I could be wrong) they're very cool in my opinon.
"I'm sure my copy of the GameStop collectors edition of FFXII will be worth something in about 20 years."
NES, Atari 7800, Genesis, SNES, Saturn, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Atari Flashback 2, Limited Edition Red Wii, PS3 Slim, GBC, GBA, GBASP, DS Lite, and PSP 3000.
Since I will never own an NWC Gold, or Grey for that matter, I will say this item which I have recently acquired:
I think that the 'Holy Grail' of my collection would have to been the Magnavox Odyssey 2, which I have the box to with the original receipt from where my father bought it in 1981.
The 'Holy Grail' which I don't have, though, would have to be the original Magnavox Odyssey. I would love to find one of those for a decent price.

I collect for: Odyssey2, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, ColecoVision, NES, SNES, N64, SMS, Genesis, Dreamcast, PSX, and TI-99/4A
Right now there's a couple arcade games I've been having some trouble hunting down, namely the JPN release of Sorcer Striker, Kiki Kaikai (knight boy), etc.
I'm starting to regret not having paid what I thought was an extortionate price for Ninja Emaki when I found a copy; I think I might as well eat crow and buy it at the asking price because this game NEVER seems to show up.
Recently, a short-term "grail" was a complete JPN copy of the second Kiki Kaikai on Super Famicom, that showed up for $60, counting a second game in the auction as free. Good deal.
Wow i am seeing some cool stuff
keep them coming
My holy grail would be an original Donkey Kong arcade machine in good condition.
Too bad that I can't afford one, and also don't have the space for it right now. (My "new" [that is, new-to-me], currently-in-restoration Neo-Geo MVS takes up the last bit of space in my room).
My holy grail:
Bung Multi Xchanger
GB-Bridge
Bung Dr NES PC Jr
these items seem to come up once in a blue moon and when they do, they are bought quicker than they appear....
I've wanted one for years, but I just recently found out its name:
the Epoch TV Vader; made for Japan in 1980 as a stand-alone Space Invaders unit:
Why do I want this? I donno. It just hearkens back to when Video Games were new, and it's something I've never seen. Its' rarity probably has something to do with it too.

Lick me! LICK ME!!

I know it's not really a video game, but I'd love to have a Star Trek:TNG pinball machine. I've wanted one of those ever since I first played it years ago.
If I had to pick a real video game, I'd say I want a Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom arcade machine. My friends and I would play that game constantly at the arcades. That and Virtua Fighter 2. I know none of these games are very rare, but I'd much rather have one of them than some ultra rare game cart that I'd never play.
Probably my Bonk's Adventure for NES, or sealed Lunar 2.
Want: Dedicated Juno First cab. Big want.
that is so cool, best holy grail here I reckon. I want one.Originally Posted by Sanriostar

my top holy grail would have to be the original magnavox odyssey wich I have just acquired from a forum member and hope to see it in a few days. (Thanks!) My second holy grail would be an excellent copy of Earthbound, cart only is fine but the more the merrier
and of course a certain gold nes cart, bubble boble 2 and flinstones but those are kinda wishful thinking right now.
I don't think I have anything personally considered to be a holy grail, but I do know my brother has a CIB minty copy of Condor Attack for 2600.
He also has other games that have surprised me, because back then I did not think it would be that rare.

Oh Bubble Bobble 2, how I do covet thee!my top holy grail would have to be the original magnavox odyssey wich I have just acquired from a forum member and hope to see it in a few days. (Thanks!)
