For me it was Splatterhouse at game launch. Walked into Radio Shack and bought it, couldn't get home fast enough to crack it open and play it.  Was the last game I bought new, during my teenage years.  Recollecting as an adult have not stumbled into a sealed game that wasn't drastically over priced.  And to pay sealed prices for something I know I will open and play .. rather just get cib/cic copies. I can't let anything sit sealed .. it must be played, otherwise I just don't get the point.

Went to the video game store i always go with Dragon spirit sealed. (3 months ago)

showed the game to my previous boss, the look in his eyes were saying that he wanted it..
and out of the blue i yelled : "YAY IT'S FREAKING CHRISMAS !@_@"
and ripped the plastic seal

the poor guy tryed to grab the game out of my hands but was too late,

the joy of opening a game that has been sealed for more then 20 years
the look on every clients faces,
my hysterical laugh.
that was such a priceless moment !

The last sealed Turbob was probably Monster Lair from Terry's crate buy three years ago.

Methinks the last PCE unsealing was Bazaru:

Turbob is some new PCEFX slang for me, I guess that is TG-16.

I did search recently, and saw someone sold a sealed Super Star Soldier on ebay for $300+.

and also some VGA graded stuff for $600+

I don't understand this graded stuff. It's stupid. Comics, I understand it a bit more.

All of it makes me more glad I opened my sealed copy in 2006, 2007 or so, the day it arrived to me for the $50 I spent. It's not a terribly common TG-16 game, so it allowed another open copy into the wild.

Blazing Lazers in last year. Got it from somebody in the UK who had a stack of these for a price of around 10 € per piece or so.

I still wonder why that person had so many of them. Have I been fooled? Anyway, I wanted this game for play, and this was the easiest and by the time cheapest option for me to get one with plastic case and manual.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no

From what I understand, that was the pack-in game in the UK.

Thanks! Now that I think about it, I remember the Card sleeve was very sticky... Eww. I got rid of the sleeve in favor of a cheap replacement one.

Just the plastic breaking down!

I will say, and I'm sure I'm not the first, Blazing Lazers would have been a better pack-in, in the US, than Keith Courage.

Never.  I've got a couple games I got used with the original shrinkwrap on them like Cadash and Exile that I pulled off though.  Does that count?

Mine might have been Pyramid Plunder.  Cant remember which ones before that.  I still have a few sealed that I havent gotten around to opening like my very own group buy of Monster lair and Loom.  Just want to open them when I have time to sit down and dedicate some time to enjoying them.
