A few years ago after trying various ways to emulate it, I finally broke down and bought this:

It's not very good.






But there's other games I've desperately wanted to get, but just can't find the time/money/opportunity to actually acquire most notably...

What are some treasures that you really want, but you've resigned into just assuming you'll never have?

 

[Secret Fawful]

Earthbound: The Topic

 

[Anth0ny]

 

[Orayn]

King's Field: The Dark Side Box

Ungodly expensive and hard to find, but oh so awesome.

 

[alfredofroylan]

These two:

 

[Starphoenix]

Luckily I have a legit Earthbound cartridge and Metroid Prime Trilogy. For the longest time I spent time looking for the Zelda Collectors Edition for the Gamecube to no avail, but after awhile I found it.

 

[Myriadis]

Suikoden II goes for 120€/~150$ used here.
I want to give it a try. Maybe it is now in the European PSN store? That would be another reason to buy a PS3.

 

[Zeranium]

 

[Dark Octave]

Panzer Dragoon Saga. A local shop has this for $250 I beleive. The Saturn to play it on is only $50.

Suikoden II.

 

[I-hate-u]

This one

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Xenosaga Limited Edition

and

Goldeneye Japanese Version

 

[ThatStupidLion]

shining force 3 - scenario 2 + 3
dragon force 2
panzar dragoon saga
magic knight rayearth

notice a running theme (hint:sega saturn)

 

[bernardobri]

Tactics Ogre LUCT Japanese Limited Edition.

Probably I'd get one on Yahoo's japanese auction page, but I can't afford it... for now

 

[Beth Cyra]

Final Fantasy VII Advent Piece

FF VIII - Press Bundle

Those are about it, well at least off the top of my head anyway.

 

[mnemovore]

Ocean Hunter arcade machine (it's only release)

 

[Speevy]

I'd just like to play it once.

 

[Beckx]

Panzer Dragoon Saga. Just not willing to pony up $250+ for it.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Probably Darius Alpha. I had a Supergrafx and all the games in the early 90s, EXCEPT Alpha. Don't see myself ever getting it since it is $1000+ now. But one day I might pick it up.

Did finally get Gunhed Special Version but that was only $200.

 

[Syril]

Marble Madness 2. This is a problem, seeing as it was never actually released, and there's ONE working machine.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Two other games that I'd love to have but I can´t because of the price ... and the space in my house.

This game really needs a digital release.

Love pinball machines but they need so much care and space.

 

[thomaser]

This one

Hey, I took that photo ;-)

My most wanted game that I haven't found yet is definitely Earthbound. That is, I've seen it for sale many times, but I want one that's complete with box and instructions, and those are very expensive. Will probably have to bite the bullet one day and go for it.

Also want Virtual Bowling for the Virtual Boy. The only VB-game I need to complete the collection. Impossible to find for a decent price.

 

[tsab]

*Insert Arcade Machine Here*

 

[FlutterPuffs]

In all seriousness, Dance Central.

Seems like a fun way to exercise, but I just can't afford and justify an Xbox, Kinect and the game when I already have a PS3 and a PC.

Note that I live in Malaysia and money conversion makes a game cost around RM130 here. Its a pity.

 

[goldenpp72]

Big pain in the ass, I bought panzer dragoon saga, shining force 3, burning rangers, but I can't find this thing lol.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I want Panzer Dragoon Saga. I should have bought it for $100 years ago when I had the chance lol

 

[Mupod]

I'd like a Neogeo with Garou MOTW, all the Metal Slug games and Last Blade 2 one day. I'm sure they will only get more and more absurd in price as the years go on...oh well.

I still want Steel Battalion but I really have nowhere to put the damn thing even if I bought it and an xbox to play it on.

 

[goldenpp72]

I want Panzer Dragoon Saga. I should have bought it for $100 years ago when I had the chance lol

I paid 380 bucks for the set of panzer 1/2/saga, shit stung.

 

[MYE]

 

[1138]

Heroes of Might and Magic: Complete Edition

 

[woahjeez]

I had the chance to pick up Metroid Prime Trilogy for 19.99 and didn't. I will forever be haunted by that decision.

 

[goldenpp72]

I had the chance to pick up Metroid Prime Trilogy for 19.99 and didn't. I will forever be haunted by that decision.

Best buy deal? I did that.. and sold it for 120 a few months ago. Never opened that.

 

[cajunator]

I'd just like to play it once.

WANT.

 

[Zwei]

Seeing as we're sharing our sob stories -- I had the chance to pick up Suikoden II years ago for $25 new, but decided to pass it up because it wasn't $20.

FML

 

[Kamek]

the world ends with you. can't find it new anywhere.

 

[ChosenPredator]

^^^ I used to have that game (Demon crest)

 

[Roxas]

One day

 

[lunch]

Suikoden II is really it for me. There are some European special editions of Yakuza I wouldn't mind owning that are going for $125 on eBay, but they're easy to forget about.

 

[Frost_Ace]

;_;

 

[Beth Cyra]

One day

I pray I will find this bad boy.

 

[JStein0222]

the world ends with you. can't find it new anywhere.

Same.

 

[Slermy]

Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn) and Snatcher (Sega CD) are my two.

 

[Dantis]

But there's other games I've desperately wanted to get, but just can't find the time/money/opportunity to actually acquire most notably...

What are some treasures that you really want, but you've resigned into just assuming you'll never have?

Is Metroid Prime Trilogy really that hard to get? If it is, I'm glad I picked it up when I did.

I tried to get the Collector's Edition of Persona 1 for PSP with the OST included, but nobody was willing to ship it to England.

Also tried to get Devil Summoner for PS2 to no avail. That game is bloody rare over here.

 

[Het_Nkik]

Honestly? I've bought most of the super expensive stuff. Shantae, EarthBound, Fire Emblem Thracia 776 Deluxe Pack, Dead Space Ultimate Edition, Snatcher, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dungeons & Dragons, etc etc.


I think the biggest one right now I want but don't have is Radiant Silvergun.

 

[Micerider]

I had the chance to pick up Metroid Prime Trilogy for 19.99 and didn't. I will forever be haunted by that decision.

I did own it...and sold it before it was rare....now I want to play it again...but I can't...dammit.

 

[ekim]

Big pain in the ass, I bought panzer dragoon saga, shining force 3, burning rangers, but I can't find this thing lol.

I still have the European version

 

[Chopper]

WANT.

What is this?

 

[test_account]

Vindicator HES (PAL version) with box and manual. I've seen it for sale one time during the last 7 years. It went for too much that i wanted to pay for it.

 

[GoofsterStud]

I found it when I stopped looking for it at a used game shop while on vacation. I paid 29.99 for it a year ago, and loved every minute of it. I wonder how much I could sell it for now, there doesn't seem to be any on ebay. It's actually turned out to be one of my favorite ninja arcade games.

[Spring-Loaded]

Bushido Blade. My copy (used) just wore out...
