The one game you would never trade/sell...

[Squall835]

Mine would have to be my MGS3:LE. I could never part with it.

[HumanSnatcher]

Snatcher for Sega CD for me

[danito]

My boxed NES games, and FF7's

[InuFaye]

any game made by team ninja, for some reason i just love them all.

[kjauburn]

Never say never. I use to think I would keep Twisted Metal II and FF tactics forever, but eventually I traded/sold them. Right now the games I am most attach to are probably the SSX series for the PS2. SSX is the whole reason I bought the PS2 when it came out and it dragged me back into gaming. Plus its the series that brought my wife into gaming as well...

[Chacrana]

Barring compilations and remakes down the road... pretty much all the stuff I have would fit under that.

If I had to pick one... maybe Xenogears.

[mr ryles]

my GTA games.

[Predator21281]

Earthbound. No matter how much we want one, there will never be a new that we understand.

[Michaellvortega]

My imaginary Beta copy of Halo3 multilayer that I never play because I dont want to wear out the disc. :)

No but really, I'd say any one of my sports games because the trade in value is so low it's not even worth my gas for the trip to trade it in or mail it to someone.

[kennistond]

Probably my 3 Kingdom Hearts games, the first being Non-GH (KH1, KH: CoM, KH2)

I love them and unless I get a crazy offer for them, I doubt I will ever get rid of them.

[Michaellvortega]

Everyone has a price.

[RedvsBlue]

Probably Dragon Force.
I actually had the MGS3: S LE but I sold it. I didn't regret it too much though because of the hefty profit on it.

[Mr. Anderson]

Einhander.

[SilverPaw750]

Super Punch-Out!!

[Graystone]

Shenmue

[Calamityuponthee]

Final Fantasy Tactics and Suikoden 2.

[jimbodan]

I know it's cliched...but FF7

[Sonic Fighters]

Shenmue
Same and any Sonic games.

[levi333]

Power Stone

[Supercake]

Silent Hill 3. I've put so much work and time into my copy that I can't ever, ever get rid of it. So many memories. It's the one Silent Hill that I cherish the most, as a copy.

[bthamilton]

Castlevania: SOTN (non-greatest hits)

Einhander...I'm jealous.

[suko_32]

I would say Final Fantasy Tactics, but I sold that a while ago. I'll go with Super Smash Bros. Melee then......until Super Smash Brawl is out. Okay I don't know.

[scsg75]

it's kinda sad...but all of them. I think I will try to make a tradelist or sell a few off, then when I go through my games to try to pick anything, I have attachments to all of them, even though I haven't even opened a majority of them yet.

I made a tradelist the other day and the best I could do was the beat up copy of Fatal Frame I got from Blockbuster (I own a complete second copy) and my second copy of Xenosaga II.

[xghostsniperx]

If we're only counting "regular" releases (non-SE/CE/LE/compilations):

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's my only fully complete N64 game, and it's a gold cart. I love the feeling I get when I play that game; it was one of the first games I'd ever played that was actually mine.

If we're counting SE/CE/LE/compilations:

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence LE. Not only is MGS3 one of my favorite games of all time, but having that theater disc is truly awesome. Plus, whenever I look at my playing copy and my sealed copy, I think to myself: "You're one smart (albiet lucky) motherfucker for buying a couple of those". *Thinks of eBay prices a few days before MGS4 comes out*

[WhoKnowsWho]

I hear you. Heck, I can't even get rid of King Kong for the 360 that I just bought and finished. It will probably never be played again, but I like seeing it fill the shelf! I have traded a few couldn't stand them games, but just about everything stays. Ever since I had to sell all my Genesis stuff to get a Saturn (hey, I was young and it was a bad trade at the time!) I never want to feel like that again.

And no, I am not dissing the Saturn, 'cause I have a second one now that I am older after a long time (1 year or so?) with no video games when I was younger (except PC) because of the broken Saturn system.

[PenguinMaster]

Everything has a price. Though there are plenty of games that I'd only sell for more than I can buy them for. I don't have any particularly rare games and I don't have any Special Editions. I've actually sold quite a few of the games people have listed in this thread.

[Odenat]

I dunno about Never but I couldn't imagine selling/trading my copy of Ikaruga unless it was for 3x what it goes for on ebay.Then I would turn around a buy another copy of Ikaruga if that did happen.

[asianxcore]

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (Dreamcast)

[Spades22]

Umm I got a few:
DKC1
DKC2
DKC3
Super Mario 64
DK64
Diddy Kong Racing

....... Those games bring back so many memories!

[rocknrollpart5]

secret of mana, unless of course if it was for more than i can buy it for. i rented it enough times to buy it as a kid, and i didnt find one for sale untill i was in 10th grade. I love it too much.

einhander... i have it, i don't like it. i just dont like horizontal shooters. im thinking about selling it.

[Brak]

EarthBound
Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City and San Andreas

[Supreme]

FF7
FF8
FFX
Shenmue
GTA series
SMB3
SMB/DuckHunt w/ Zapper :)

[Number83]

Cool Topic, Op. I would never trade or sell any of my games, unless I had dupes. Gun to my head, and I had to give them all up except one...Baldurs Gate II: Shadow of Amn Collectors Ed.

[coolsteel]

Zone of the Enders 2, most replayed game I own and a large reason why I didn't give up on gaming and save some money

[botticus]

My boxed Final Fantasy 3, if I had to choose one. Too many hours spent on that, even if you only look at the three current save slots (which have in turn overwritten hundreds of hours themselves).

[Ecofreak]

My complete copies of FF3 and Chrono Trigger. No games have come close to the emotional attachment level as these two games - and I somehow doubt any will in the future.

[Riyonuk]

Super Metroid :)

[Fatesealer]

None of my DC games. I even have the what I'm told is rare Record of Lodoss War in pristine condition.

Skies of Arcadia Legends on GC.

Disgaea 1 on PS2.

[Riyonuk]

I miss my skies of arcadia, phantasy star online (The first, not plus) and FF7...if only I had known they were gonna be hard to find.

[onetrackmind]

Shadow of the Colossus

[lordxixor101]

Wow, this is difficult. normally, I'm in the group that says all of them (and I haven't sold a game since the Saturn days, so I think I could say that).

Though, I fully buy into everyone has a price. Sure, for enough money, I'd sell anything that I own (video game wise), but here are the things that I'd need way over going rate to unload:

Nights (Saturn)
Panzer Dragoon (Saturn)
Panzer Dragoon Zwei (Saturn)
Panzer Dragoon Orta (Xbox)
Morrowind GOTY (Xbox)
Final Fantasy X (PS2)
Final Fantasy ViI (PSX) (only because I have the non greatest hits version)
Mike Tyson's PunchOut (NES)
Super Mario World II (Snes)

Gee, more games than I really wanted to list. The sad part is, I can think of another 10 games off the top of my head that I want to put on the list, but after awhile, it'll just make the list too long to be meaningful.

[Consummate Canuck]

Only a couple I can think of but I'm not sure that I would never sell them...

Panzer Dragoon Saga (saturn)
Final Fantasy III (SNES)
Gitaroo Man (PS2)

[jkam]

Spider-Man (PS1)
They really hit the nail on the head with that one.

[depascal22]

Virtua Fighter 2 and NiGHTS. I've had them locked up in a storage unit in California for 5 years and I just can't sell them along with my Saturn.

[MusicNoteLess]

One game is brinking on the line of fate right now, althought I really don't want to sell it. We'll see after the VC for the Wii comes out.it is:

Super Mario RPG

[Moxio]

Probably my original FFVII.

[pop311]

Zelda CE

[Rodimus]

My King of Fighters Collection (94' - 2K3')
And some Rare RPGs for Sega CD and Staurn (Vay, Albert Oddyessy)
Dream Mix TV: World Fighter (GC IMPORT) It was a special gift, and I wouldn't feel right selling it away.

But I think I'd sell anything if someone offered me an insane amount of money. But that not gonna happen.

[battleroyal33]

Im a big fan of the Never say Never attitude here, Up until about 2 years ago I had a handful of games for my Turdo Duo that I thought I would never sell but of course did. Among them were the gems of my collection, Dynastic Hero and Dracula X. I held onto Dynastic Hero soley due to the value, the game itself sucks hard, but Dracula X is by far one of the best castlevania games ever made but when I found a guy selling burned copies for $3, I bought the copies and sold all of my original duo titles on ebay,, made a killing..

[HumanSnatcher]

The "never say never" doesn't apply to me as I have only gotten rid of 3 games in the past 6 months. Only reason I did was that I took them into GS for their trade in 3 get an extra 10 promo. Plus, all of them I can easily rebuy for 3 bucks or less anyhow...

As for my copy of Snatcher, oh hell no! My favorite game of all time, not to mention my name sake on here and Live

[botticus]

Obviously every game has a price, namely, the price you could buy another copy of the same game in the same condition for with money left over. However, I think with that mindset, people are missing the point of the OP. :D

I do have to admit, If I was to drop the dime on any system and game, it would be on a sega cd just to play snatcher but then again, once I played it, I would most likely end up selling it..

[HumanSnatcher]

I all ready know my copy can fetch at least 70 bucks, but its not gonna happen

[ValkyrieVF-1S]

Parasite Eve, Zone of the Enders 2, and all my MGS games.

[zewone]

Xenogears (original release, before it was reprinted the next year)
Shadow of the Colossus
ICO

[tenzor]

Resident Evil 4, its the only game I beat more then twice (9 times to be excat), and I still play it here and there today.

[JohnnyDrama]

Final Fantasy VII, and maybe my GTA games (even though I did sell Liberty City Stories for PSP, I'll probably get it for PS2).

[Jimbo Slice]

Tekken Tag Tournament for PS2 is the only game in my collection that I've owned for over 2 years I think. I always sell my stuff, but I'm probably going to keep that forever.

[tangytangerine]

My Capcom Collection games for xbox, Mega Man Anniversary, Street Fighter anniversary & Classics Collection.

[VAD3R or Fro]

My Final Fantasy's and Crash Bandicoot 2 and warped. I turned in Racing.

[crowbb]

I have never traded in a game yet, though I did sell Dragonball GT on eBay back when it was going for $300ish before they reprinted it. If I had to choose one game to absolutely keep I would either be Disgaea or River City Ransom because of the repeat play value.

[superfuzz]

strider sega genesis and castlevania sotn

[anotherpoorgamer]

My original copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 on the Genesis, despite owning the 6-Pack for Genesis already.

[doctorfaustus]

Shadowrun (SNES)

[captainfrizo]

If I had to choose one game to keep it would be my all-time favorite: Mario 64

Honorable Mentions:
Castlevania: SotN
Cybernator
Dino Crisis 2
Final Fantasy
Harvest Moon (GB)
Spinter Cell: Chaos Theory LE (XBox)
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario RPG
Zelda CE

[daphatty]

Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow - SNES

- There was a special version that disney made just for the Sega Channel back in the day. I was the tester that BROKE the game so badly, Disney had to re-rev it and sent us T-shirts as a thank you. I still have the T-Shirt too. :D

Vectorman 2 - Genesis

- First Videogame I ever got my name IN the game credits.

Guardian Heroes - Saturn

- Seriously, does I have to have a reason to keep this treasure?

X-Men vs. Street Fighter - Saturn(JP)

- Two words, Arcade Perfect. Three more words. No Load Times.

[botticus]

Vectorman 2 - Genesis

- First Videogame I ever got my name IN the game credits.
Ha, that's a good point... I guess Lords of Magic: SE (PC) is another never-sell game. :D Particularly since it's the first and last game my name will be in the credits.

[Duo_Maxwell]

Legend of Zelda

My NES even quite working sometime ago and I sold almost all my games for it (save that and a couple rare ones), but I'd never ever part with Zelda because I put alot into that game when I was a kid and nearly all of my early memories as a gamer are tied to it.

[Skylander7]

Mine used to be a mint/complete Panzer Dragoon Saga, Suikoden II (I actually purchased it the day it came out), Valkyrie Profile (bought at TRU for $10 bucks) and Einhander (also purchased on release date).. then I needed some extra cash about a year and a half ago, and sold them all at the same time.

Honestly, I kind of regret it now.. but at the same time, I know that I would likely have never played them. My advice is that if anyone sells their prized games, think really long and hard about it. It comes down to the old question of which is more important, I guess.

[mietha]

Probably Triad Stone for the Mega LD, mostly because it would likely be the hardest to replace in the same condition as mine. For other reasons, it would be Final Fantasy II (IV) on the SNES. Not my favorite in the series (third behind X and VII), but truely a piece of my childhood and still one of my favorite games.

[DrunkTigerWoods]

Earthbound - I love this game. It cant be expressed in words.

Others I cant part with:
Mario RPG
Yoshi's Island
Castlevania 4 (sealed)
Castlevania SotN
Super Metroid
Lunar 1 & 2 PSX
Capcom Dreamcast games

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Super Smash Bros.

[VanillaGorilla]

Madden 2003!

Not because I'm supposedly this rabid EA fanboy, but because that game isn't worth the ten cents I would get from EB or GameStop for it. I figure I'll come across a nephew or cousin one day that is dumb enough to trade me his copy of Chrono Trigger for it (happened once before!).

[chosen1s]

Final Fantasy III on Super Nintendo.

The only game I have left from my childhood, and an awesome one at that. I had loaned it to my best friends down the street when I got rid of the snes to get a 64. Halfway through College we were going through some things and found it - mint - complete.

Nostalgia + Awesome Game + Connection to lifelong friends = never sell

[ITDEFX]

Resident Evil 4

[Mospeada_21]

does the OP's title also imply that if I could only take one game to prison with me, which game would that be?

[Zack-Morris]

Radiant Silvergun
Border Down
Castlevania SOTN

[motorkill]

My complete copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga that I bought on the day it came out, Guardian Heroes, and maybe Suikoden II.

[2Fast]

Man, I've always wanted to play that game. You're one lucky fellow. Nice picks by the way, everyone. This is very interesting to read.

[ITDEFX]

Resident Evil 4, its the only game I beat more then twice (9 times to be excat), and I still play it here and there today.


damn boy...9 times??? by the third round you should have enough money for the inf rocket launcher.

one shot one kill isn't fun after a few runs :(
