I wanted to know what some of our fellow collectors out there consider their "holy grails" of games. This questions has meant different things to different people. Some tend to focus on realistic achievable "grails" and some shoot for the moon. Personally, I want games that are collectable but fun to play! Either way, let us know! Nate's TOP 3 : Games I'ld probably NEVER get, but really want! 3 )Policenauts - Hideo Kojima game from early 90's, probably never get it, never offially released in NA, not in english  ) 2) Little Samson - Never seen it locally, hella pricey 1) Bubble Bath Babes (or any other Panesian xxx games)  Nate's TOP 3 Games I probably realistically can get 3) Earthbound - it's expensive, but wasn't really "rare", lots out there! 2) Chp n' Dales 2 - I love rescue rangers on NES! 1) Snatcher - I know this game is very hard to get, but i'ld find a way, i want this game that much! what are yours? |

^it's funny, Flinstones Dino park was at the Microplay in Regent for so long, someone scored it on half price day! lol.... I wanted that one too, but just for collecting purposes. It's good, by sharing this info w/ eachother, we might be able to help each other out. it's like when 64BitMatthew or I find something for one another. It's awesome!

TOP 3 GAMES I'LL PROBABLY NEVER FIND:
1. Snatcher (Sega CD)
2. Alien Soldier (Genesis, only released in Europe & Japan)
3. Mega Man Legends 2 (PSX)
TOP 3 GAMES I COULD FIND:
1. Mega Man X3 (SNES)
2. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
3. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES)
I've only seen MML2 in the city once, and it was $80 at PNP. It was also gone within minutes. Alien Soldier and Snatcher I have never seen anywhere.

Tomba - Playstation 1
One of my favorite games from the PS1 era. I bought it for my ex-girlfriend the day it came out and we played it non-stop for months. I then bought Tomba 2 and we loved that. We eventually broke up and she kept Tomba 1 and I got Tomba 2. Her brother now has the copy of Tomba 1 I gave her! I eventually found out the game was considered rare and I was so pissed! I don't care that it's collectible at all, I just want to have it back. I downloaded it on PSN, but I gotta find the original.
GI Joe - NES
Loved this game as a kid and was a massive Joe fan. Every copy I see is all ripped or stained and the prices are inflated. I'd like a boxed copy, but don't want to pay so much. Have to be patient.
Cadash - TurboGrafx 16
I am the worlds biggest Cadash fan. I have the arcade Jamma board and plan to put it in my cabinet soon. I have the game complete on Genesis and I used to be able to beat it in the arcade with only two quarters. The TG-16 port was done by Working Designs and I'd love to have the NA version of it complete.

Personally I liked real american hero but atlantis factor is the capcom version... which made it more harder and frustraing as all hell! I was too young to understand GIJoe as a kid, but always loved the toys. Tomba is on my wanted list too, looks like a fun game for sure. Nice list |

definitely!
Though most of my pickups are from online forums/ebay. I haven't had much luck locally for much of anything. A few good finds on Kijiji, but nothing at any thrift stores. You guys must be scooping them all up!

You guys must be scooping them all up! haha, I wished dude! Maybe Ian, but i've been slowing down on pickups. I've gotten to a point where I've got everything I ever wanted, everything now is kinda just the extras... (well, still want my DK3 for SNES complete in box, but that's coming =D ) -n8 |

All very achieveable. My "grail" is shooting for the moon but is achievable with some discipline. It might take some time, but I've set aside a fund to get a grey NWC cart. $10/day coffee/snack fund, what ever I save on gas riding my bike during the summer, plus whatever I find in the couch.  Top 3 on my NES list right now are: Flintstones: Surprise At Dinosaur Peak CIBLittle Samson CB (I have the manual) The 3 Panesian games CIB (I consider them a set) Top 3 on my SNES list right now are: Aero Fighters CIB
Metal Warriors CIB
Super Copa (The ball kicker label) CIB
Ultimately, I'd like to get a complete NTSC-U NES and SNES collection. After that, N64 and Master System. I don't have the patience to weed out label reprints for Genesis. |

Well well trevor, those might be some heafty goals there, but I'm sure u can do it. There WAS a loose dino peak about a year or so ago at Microplay on Regent I had my eye on for a long time now. I even made offers but one day, someone came in on a sale day and got it 50% off.... needless to say I was sad! I also am a Panesian game fan! haha,  -n8 |
