My most prized games:

Bionic Commando (it may not be rare but still...)

Not NES, but worth mention.
Earthbound game and original Strategy Guide: They came together in one big box. It only cost me $14.95 when I found it.


Me too as well as Super Metroid.

i have both but still.

You know, I've been thinking of my wish for a sit down Sinistar machine... much to my chagrin, it occured to me that I would gladly trade an opportunity at that in exchange for a Virtual On machine, or LA Guns.

Old school gamer, my ass.

I would personally like to own a working Night Slashers cabinet. I played this game years ago and had a total blast with it. Sadly, it's but a memory now. Hell, I'd settle for a working MAME rom. I'm sure I have more items I would consider "Holy Grails", but that's all I cna think of right now.

I think it's actually a fun game, plus you get 8-bit porn ;)

Okay, I'm a complete idiot, but here's my "Holy Grail"

A sealed Stack-Up and a sealed Tengen Tetris.

There, I said it....

I think it's actually a fun game, plus you get 8-bit porn Ha! Seriously though, if that didn't go for as much as it does, I would've gotten my hands on it a LONG time ago. One night I played some via emu (of course, not having it and all), and was actually having a blast with it. The shapes of the bubbles makes it tough to get matches, but not impossible. I can't remember how far I got, but far enough into it that I started enjoying it for the challenge.

I got the ROM of this myself a couple of days ago. You're right...who would have thought that a Holy Grail would be so addicting & difficult?
I'd rate this one just a little less difficult than Klax. A friend and I were playing Klax last night for over two hours...our brains were reduced to tapioca.

A Canadian collector sold a complete yet not sealed Stack-up for $660 U.S. I believe it was. :?

Hmm..Broderbund U-Force. Don't have the test cart, but they made several interesting games. I'll have to go ROM hunting for that one.

I'm afraid you lost two of my respect points for using the word "Pwn", but since you like my av, I'll give you three. ^__^ LOL OMGWTF!

Heh. My fingers were hovering over the keyboard wondering if I should even use it or not, I've been putting it off for weeks.
Downloaded U-Force Test Cartridge ROM--for those of you who are curious,
Don't bother. :oops:

You can regain the word's L337-ness by reverting it back to it's original state, 'p ownage'.

Also, "Newbie" is no longer a hip word, as the mainstream has officially caught on. I'm afraid the third "Bring It On" movie uses it to horrifically lame effect. Which is worrisome, as my usage of "Newb" rather than nub or n00b, which once was a pro-literacy/intelligence statement, is now dangerously close to mainstream usage.

But, there you have it--at least you put some thought into the way you spelled it, rather than just writing "n00b" like everyone else.
And the "Uber" part conjoined with "Newb" makes you think, too, so it's still, in my opinion, at least, a good username.
