    Default Your Personal Videogaming Holy Grail

    What is your unattained Holy Grail?

    It doesn't have to be a game. For me, it used to be getting an arcade cabinet in my basement, but now I have one, so now it is going to be the Nintendo World Championship Cart. Gold.

    Most of you will laugh since there are plenty of these to be had (if you're willing to shell out some cash). But I am still waiting for the day I see a Turbo Duo in the hands of an unsuspecting thrift shop.

    I second the Assassin Case...


    Right now, it's Blue Chicago Blues Complete for Laseractive US.

    It's the last $@%$#@! piece I need for a complete set.

    Yeah. Finding stuff in the wind is so much more satisfying than Evil-Bay.

    I actually acquired one of my holy grails recently: EVO for SNES. Other things I consider personal holy grails are a Turbo Duo, Snow Bros. for NES, the Japanese versions of Smart Ball and Spanky's Quest for Super Famicom, Megaman Battle & Chase for PS1 (euro version), and Rockman X3 for Sega Saturn.

    I love EVO. I used to be very into that game... I never knew it was all that rare. I'll have to look it up.

    Right smack in the middle -- east bay area, Livermore in particular. I just so happen to live about as far away from any good game stores as possible, guess I'm repenting for having a freaking awesome one about a block from my house for several years (before I started collecting, though).

    Well, there's alot of things that would qualify, but the most expensive is a Roller Coaster Tycoon pinball table. I wish there was a way that I could own one.

    My holy grails would be:

    Stadium Events (only rare licensed games I need for the NES)
    All 3 Panesians


    Also, any NES era sign that I don't already have would be really nice.

    I"ll also vote for the Elemental Gearbolt Assasin's Case.

    But I'd also go for an English Poliicenauts Beta for the Saturn or an English proto or review copy of Star Odyssey for the Genesis. Both exist....

    For some reason I'm really drawn to own a Magical Chase... I don't know what it is.. I only have 2 TurboGrafx games, but for some reason, I really want that. :/

    It's really not that rare, only and R4 or 5 I beleive. But I had been looking for it in the wild for ten years, and I just broke down and bought it on ebay. Truly brilliant and worth every penny.
