I had a copy of Vay for Sega CD and for reasons I still can't figure out, I traded it away. I traded away Shining in the Darkness for Genesis. I also had Mega Man X2, and Mega Man X3 for SNES and traded both of those away too. I even had Panzer Dragoon 1 and 2 for Saturn and traded them. I was such an idiot.

Traded my broken genesis and about 15-10 games and 3 controllers for a refurbished Sega Saturn that game with 3 games. Although i did like my saturn, I regret doing it to this day.

Several years ago I bought Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout for PSX. This was back when it first came out over here, before DBZ became so huge in the States.

The game was so unbelievably bad I BSed to Toys 'R Us telling them it was defective so they'd take it back. From that standpoint, getting my $50 back on a spectacularly bad game, I don't regret it. From the standpoint that a few years later it was selling on eBay for $250 at Christmas, I do.

Oh most definite....I sold Chrono Trigger for the SNES for $20. It had everything too, the box, instruction manual, and even teh strategy guide. I couldn't have gotten so much more later on...

I think we've all made these mistakes...

I had a mint copy of Suikoden I. Now I know there are people who have never played it and those who would say it sucked based on graphics...but it was my first RPG and a truly great game. I bought it based on looks and ended up loving an entire genre because of it...I still regret trading it away.

I have traded in every game that i have ever bought, mainly because i was a dumb kid that wasn't able to afford to pay full for new ones, i really feel bad for not keeping my N64, genesis, the addon thing that made it have better graphics, playstation, dreamcast, ect. The only thing i still have is my limited edition ice blue gameboy, and the box too

The only time I ever got rid of any games is when my little brother got a SNES and we agreed to trade in my nintendo and our games, 113 between the two of us, for a genesis, a few games for it, and a couple of SNES games. At the time, the only store taking trades was an indy store where the owner was a known rip off artist, and was the center of several lawsuits by angry parents. We traded the NES, the games, and a ton of accessories and got a new genesis with sonic, four other used genesis games, and three SNES games. I regretted it as soon as I got home, and am proud to say, that I have managed to get almost every one of those NES games again over the last 12 years.

Oh yeah. Without a doubt. As a kid, I used to have:
  • an Atari 2600 with like 20 games
  • some old pinball machine (the whole arcade-sized machine that you stand infront of)
  • probably 3 or 4 of the old Nintendo Game & Watch (those old rectangular things with red buttons, like the first GameBoy, remember those?)
  • some mini-arcade-style handhelds: Pac-Man, Frogger, Donkey Kong (they were about a foot tall and looked like real arcade machines, but you could hold them in your hand)
  • the original Nintendo system with a handful of games, and the incredibly fun light gun
  • my old record (vinyl) collection, because CDs were the new thing
Never again will I trade any of that stuff in or sell it. Because sometime down the road, you will find yourself wanting it again (even though at the time you don't think you will ever want it again) and you're gonna have to shell out big bucks for it then.

My parents threw most of these away ... like at the dump, gone, trash (I guess they thought I grew out of it, so I didn't want them anymore). Except for the record collection, that was my stupid ass.

* Funny, I was just about to start a topic like this, because of TomCloud9's "Do you have a friend that is a out of control gamer" poll.

Project Overkill for the PS1

I played the hell outta that game when I first got it.
I don't even know what I traded it in for, but I went to my local Funcoland yesterday and bought it used for $2,99.

I regret selling my Sega CDX and Neo Geo Gold home system. I have no explanation as to why I sold my CDX. I sold my Neo Geo due to the extreme cost of the games ($80-250 each). Now you can find Neo Geo games much cheaper of course. I have Neo Geo again, but this time in the MVS format (arcade). Game are much cheaper going this route. But from a collector's standpoint, I still wish I never sold my Gold system. :(

I sold my Sega Master System to buy a NES, which I wish I never did. Ah well, I was a kid back then, it'll never happen again. But how I miss Alex Kid in Miracle World.

Just one regret. I broke my old SNES (she gave me a lot of good years, but I gave her one round of FFVI too many).

I traded her in with all my games (from what I recall, PilotWings, FFVI, UN Squadron, Super Mario World, Breath of Fire 2, and one other), two controllers, and the assorted cords.

I really wish I kept FF. Sigh. I got the FF Anthology CD so it's all-good (though the loading times nad transition screens piss me off).
