Hehe my workplace is closed on Mondays....
gokugohandave, if you're getting a Magnavox Odyssey, your second Holy Grail should be the 1973 very extremely rare run of games, as I have:
I think my holy grail actually is My Xbox from France, with a Monster component cable. I love this console, i think more than my ps3.
Blood! How Revolting.
I ran across a Crash n' the Boys Ice Challenge proto before I got into serious collecting and found out what it was. I passed up on it, and have been kicking myself for not getting it ever since I found out what I missed out on. The ONLY proto I ever came across. I hope one day I can get another shot at it, since things tend to stay in circulation in the flea market circles...but probably not.
Also I have fond memories of playing The New Zealand Story on an arcade cabinet at a local mom and pop pizzaria when I was a kid. I'd like to eventually get a cabinet when I have the money and space for it.
My two acquired grails are my NIS PSP protos.
Wants:
Starflight Starmap and Code Wheel
Starflight II Starmap
Got these for sale or trade? PM ME!!!
Probably my copy of the Shining Force Premium Disc, which I got for a rather bargainous price. What I really want to get my hands on is a Sonic the Hedgehog themed Dreamcast, but it'll be a looong time before that happens.
I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!
The holy grail I don't have is a boxed Super Scope. Even if it's not particularly rare, I never see them around here, loose or complete. I even own both Battle Clash and Metal Combat.
As for the one I do have, I'm going to say my copy of Albert Odyssey, in sparkling mint condition. Although I have higher rated games, Albert Odyssey has everything I like in a JRPG.

Thanks, that does look nice portnoyd, but I prefer to hunt for my stuff.

My grail (that I don't have) is Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition: Netlink Edition. I'll probably get it someday.
Personally, my 'holy grail' changes every few months. I set out to find a certain game at a certain price locally and stick to it. Usually the games are next to impossible to find here despite the fact that they are widely available on the internet. Current titles are:
Pilotwings 64 (less than $10)
NHL 94 Sega CD (less than $7)
Strangely, these games are impossible to find locally at any price but seem to be dirt-common on the intertubes, so if I get desperate I'll pony up the 99c

Wow, loving the Teradrive, Lucky Dime Caper LE box, and Pokemon Mini Tetris.
How much did you pay for the Teradrive?

Dang that one comes with a glove, how bad ass can you get?
Tom, I think that big tank game on the X Box you're talking about is called Steel Battalion.
I guess another 'Holy Grail' would be Pondering about Max, the LE boxed edition. Oh it's for XE btw.
Dracula X Chi No Rondo and a Turbo Duo to play it on.
