THE CROWN JEWELS IN YOUR COLLECTION?

[Tatsujin]

No, I'm not kidding.

i thought you were, since you posted sealed games in here

[ParanoiaDragon]

I have most of the games released for the Turbo both US & Japan, but not all.  Crowning jewels...Dragon Knight & Graffiti which I got for about $30 in mint condition on ebay, along with Puyo Puyo Tsu which I got for about $40 IIRC.  Those are some damn good deals if you ask me!  Still trying to acuire Madou Monogatari for under $100.  I have all the standard stuff like the Exiles & DE 2, Beyond Shadowgate, Dynastic Hero, etc.  Hu's...uh, I think Photographboy is rare, didn't pay much for it.  Same goes for Coryoon.  I used to have the Hu of Bonk 3, but, sold it, wish I hadn't, but I do have PC Genjin 3.

I have all the standard semi rare japan releases as well like Drac X(not rare, but, expensive), Fausette Amour, the Spriggans, Nexzr, Horror Story(pretty hard for me to find actually), Kaze Kiri.  I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. 

I used to have some original test discs from TTI of Bonk 3, Might n Magic 3(of which I don't have an original of), & Super Air Zonk, but, traded them for the real games of Bonk 3 & Super Air Zonk, along with Exile WP, DE2(both of which I owened, then sold, then regretted selling, like alot of my other games), & I think I also got a couple hundred bucks cash as well, besides the game trade.

Oh, I used to have Sylphia, sold it, REALLY regret it!  I used to think of that game as sub par, but, since I sold it, I downloaded it, & made a new soundtrack for it, so I really REALLY regret getting rid of it.  However, I have Steam Hearts, which I regret buying.  I can't seem to even get half of what I paid for it, & the Steam in it, IMO fits nicely for the game being a Steaming Pile of Crapola!  I'm not into Hentai, only bought it cuz it was a shmup, & I've played worse, Legion comes to mind, as does Deep Blue, but, it's still stinky, & would rather have my damn Sylphia back!

[Tatsujin]

boys and misses, the question was:

What would be the three "Crown Jewels" in your collection?  PCE CD games that combine expense, enjoyment, and rarity/acquisition? 

so how sealed games or 3D glasses can be counted as enjoyable games?

i don't list a darius alpha in here, since it's only rare and expensive, but not that enjoyable.

[nodtveidt]

You enjoy looking at them.

[Tatsujin]

You enjoy looking at them.

yeah, that of course everybody enjoys, but i think it's not in the sense of the threads creator

[SuperDeadite]

The games I listed are my crown jewels.  When I saved up and bought that copy of Sapphire, I was
so happy (kinda pathetic but true).  And I really like the game, all the games I listed I love.  Renny
Blaster was a lot harder to track down then anything else I've listed, but it doesn't have a spot.
 1941 was a game that was easy to find, but I swore I would only buy it for 10,000yen or less. 
Finally Mandarake of all places had one for only 8,000yen, playing it always makes me feel
triumphant.

As for the glasses, these things have given me tons of enjoyment already.  I've been going into
the boxes and pulling out games I haven't touched in a year, just to try them with the glasses.
In most cases I have ended up replaying everything I own.  And now I'm using them with Saturn
and NeoGeo games too.  This little hunk of plastic has in effect doubled my enjoyment. Making them
very much a harware crown jewel.

Renny Blaster....I'd like to find it, that's about it.  I have a rip of it, & I think it stinks, but, along with that stink, is the fact that it's stinking rare!  1941, I see it on ebay, but, I just can't pay a whole crapload for it

[Sinistron]

i think it's not in the sense of the threads creator

Thanks for upholding the law Tat- here's your deputy tin! 

[Sinistron]

However, I have Steam Hearts, which I regret buying. 

I too regret buying Steam Hearts.  It's not leaving my collection- but absolutely not worth the 100 I ludicrously paid for it- and I am a pervert.  The game itself though is beyond weak. 

[Necromancer]

how is that Might & Magic game?

It's..... Might & Magic; if you like M&M, then you'll like the Turbo port.  It plays pretty much the same as the computer version, though it would definitely benefit from mouse support.  It can get tedious in spots and is fairly complex, but it's entertaining and pretty long.

[Michael Helgeson]

For the most part Id just consider my entire collection my crown jewel. About everything I own I enjoy playing.

[Sinistron]

but for the most part doesn't cut it.  Surely there must be a few that you're at least a smidgen prouder to own... no?
