My games I could not part with include:
Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Self Explainable
Goldeneye007 - Amazing game, I still play to this day.
Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask - Another game I will still play long after the N64 is forgotten...
Super Mario World - This game has always been a favorite of mine, some of the best music and was my favorite of all of the Mario games...
Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening - My first Zelda game....started it all...

Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64, I keep thinking of more as I think about it...I'm still not over the Nintendo 64 system...and probably never will be...

Oh, and since it says one game you couldn't give up....I'd say Ocarina Of Time [or maybe Goldeneye007...]

Well there's a fucking surprise.

For me, I haven't sold any game that I've owned, and I don't think I ever will. Except maybe Jet Force Gemini.... That game is a piece.

In terms of games most valuable to me,I have to agree with Griffin.My N64 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Gold Cart. Unlike you Griffin, I did keep the box (and I think the manual). :)

Other than that, I would keep all my NES games (LoZ, FF1, DQ1), my SNES games, most of my N64 games, as well as my working Atari with 30+ games.

I've never seen a Zelda OoT cartridge that isn't made of tasty gold paint. I don't think they even released the non-collectors editon here. =o If they did, it probably goes for a lot on the Aussie eBay.

"LIMITED EDITION GOLD ZELDA N64 GAME L@@K!"
Current bid: $0.05

"STANDARD GREY ZELDA OOT N64 CARTRIDGE, NO BOX, NO INSTRUCTIONS, DOESN'T WORK, BROKEN IN HALF, BEEN DRAGGED THROUGH SOMETHING BROWN AND WEIRD!"
Current bid: All the money ever printed

Only game I've ever gotten rid of is Wild Arms, and now I wish I hadn't. Of all my games, the one I'd never even dream of getting rid of is Final Fantasy VII. One day I'm getting a frontal lobotomy so I can play it again for the "first" time.

I don't sell my games, however, if I could only pick one that I'd NEVER get rid of, it would have to be my copy of Earthbound. I would say Super Metroid (as it's my favorite game ever), HOWEVER I can find another copy pretty cheap, so losing it is not as much of a problem.

In my younger years, I sold my SNES, 4 controllers (with Multitap, for MASSIVE Bomberman sessions), and my entire library of games (including Super Metroid, Mario RPG, FFIV, Chrono Trigger, Mario Paint, Mario Kart and Super Bomberman II) for 30$ at a pawn shop so I could buy a copy of Pokemon Yellow (BTW, I ALREADY owned Red AND Blue). GOD DAMN POKEMON BRAINWASHING

I wouldn't trade any of my SNES games except for Yoshi's Safari. But no one will take that because it requires a Superscope. :( I might trade Super R-Type, too. But I wouldn't trade my vintage Super Game Boy, Mario Paint, Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger (I was offered $28 for it at the store), Final Fantasy IV, or Final Fantasy VI.

For Playstation, I wouldn't trade any of them. They're all good RPGs. I might trade Vagrant Story, but not any of the FFs, Chrono Cross, or Lunar: SSSC (I have the special edition with the box and leather bound instruction manual and whatnot).

For N64, I don't think I would trade Harvest Moon 64, StarFox 64, or Super Smash Brothers. Even though I doubt I'll ever play it again.

This might be one of the most horrific things I have ever heard.

I almost forgot two pieces for the Gamecube:

Skies of Arcadia Legends - Some memories it gives. Also, I've had a hard time finding it around my area.

Ikaruga - Fantastic game. I don't think it's very rare, but I love it.

I will never, ever, get rid of the the two Shenmue games. They made me rethink how I felt about gaming. The gameplay, the graphics, the music (oh god, the music) you just cant beat it.

And it was the most horrific thing I ever did. I win (actually, lose, but whatever).

I would never trade my Japanese Sonic CD for anything, never, ever, ever. I probably would never find another copy. My copies of Nights and Christmas Nights also rank high. I would never get rid of those.

Thank you. I'm glad there's another soul who wouldn't dare get rid of NiGHTS and Christmas NiGHTS.

I think I'll keep Panzer Dragoon Saga forever, despite even it's high value. Sometimes I like holding the cardboard coated slab of dual boxed gaming joy in my hands, at the end of my outstretched arms, and twirling around until I'm dizzy, and we both collapse onto my bed where we may lay like that, together, for a period of time between 5 and 15 minutes.

I'd agree that i would never sell out a Zelda game. For they are gold and important .

Marvel vs Capcom 2

haha. its quite awful as far as some fighting games go, but its rare now and you just can't stop, even if its total shite. thats what rocks about it

I don't see the point of trading in, it's never worth it. You spent $200 on games and it's only worth $60 of new game credit. Where's the point in that? I won't ever trade in my games, unless I really hate them and even then they are probably worth even less.

You shut-up, Jet Force Gemini is awesome. :(

Sorry... I think calling it a "piece" is a little harsh, I just found it more frustrating to play than enjoyable. The controls drove me nuts. I like the feel, look, and general gameplay however. The 2-player mode was great. So not a "piece", but it did lack in my opinion.

='D That was beautiful.

Anyways, most of the games that I myself bought would never be sold or traded-in. Some of the games I recieved from friends, however, I would sell if I didn't feel so damn guilty :( Here are some of my gems that I would never part with:

Koudelka, Shadow Hearts 1 & 2: played the first one years ago, and finally snagged a copy off of Ebay. I love the Shadow Hearts series for its macabre horror-esque mixed with fun RPG elements. I haven't played Koudelka yet, but I don't think I'll part with it simply because it's so damn hard to find =/

Breath of Fire IV & V: I have III as well, but I can see myself potentially selling/trading that one someday. But the fourth one was my first BoF game, and really set the standards for RPG gaming for me, and those two games are just fuckin' classics to me.

Guilty Gear X2: My friend actually gave this to me (thank you, Lacy! <3), and it's such an awesome game that introduced me to the series~

Gitaroo Man: Snagged this one off Ebay after I played it several years ago, and I love this game so much. It has awesome music and quirky characters, with really high replay value (...for me anyways; I still can't get past Born to be Bone after like 5 months! :( )

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: I think this one is the better of the N64 duo, and it's a treasured classic for me as well. Now, if only I had an expansion pack to play it....

I'm in the same boat as Kostaki. I would never trade any of my games because likely chances are I'd want to play them again some other time in my life and wind up paying more than I got for trading the damn things in. Plus, I hate the thought of people ruining the games I took such great care of.

My SNES collection still looks brand new and *most* of my nes carts still function right (a few won't save anymore...) and they all, regardless of battery condition, look brand new. I am super anal about the condition of my games, cases, manuals, etc. I usually won't buy a game used and if I do, I'll likely replace it later on down the line with a new copy if possible and give away the older copy to a friend or something as a gift.

haha, wow, I never expected anyone to feel the same way about their collection that I did. I didn't trade because my assey parent didn't let me a few years ago, but now I just can't be bugged, and I find myself coming back to the same games over and over eventually anyway. So, yeah.

Heh, thats the mark of a true gamer. Uhh... Presentation wise anyway, dunno about your skill level, but thats a really good stance on game buying. You rich or something? I'd never have had the money to keep repeatedly buying new games like that x.x

Since I've copied Gitaroo Man to my hard drive and I'm going to give the hard copy to a friend of mine, I guess the only game I'd never trade would be Persona 2. Even though it was kind of re-released on the PS1 recently, I still had a terribly difficult time finding it. I'm still looking for a copy of Persona 1.

The games I will never trade are Suikoden 1 & 2. They're such awesome games, especially Suikoden 2, and I know if I trade them in I'll never see them again. I also hold on to Grandia and Vagrant Story for the same reason.

I hate to sound lame, but I would never trade/sell any of my NES games or the system. Back when I worked at GameStop, my assistant manager BEGGED me to sell all the stuff I had to him...but I just couldn't let it go.

I have to agree, if my NES still actually worked I'd hold on it too. My policy is if I can ever find it again I have no issue trading it. But if it's of a past generation then it does not go anywhere.
