The One Game You Would Never, Ever Trade...

Sonic The Hedgeohg CD (J) Extremely hard to find and usually expensive. If any CD was not to be sold, this would be it.
Sonic Adventure 2 Not so much hard to find or expensive, but since it's a discontinued DC game, finding one in good condition is hard. Sealed copies commonly go for more than the original MSRP of the game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My game is Xenogears for the PS....and the thing is I don't even have a playstation anymore, nor do i plan on getting one HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So I take it that you just emulate it (and any other PS1 games) on your PC then. Okay.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't have many original games because they are very expensive in my country, but of the few I have the one I would never trade is my Final Fantasy VII. I bought it for a bargain, while games costed something about $200 in stores I bought mine used for $30.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

As much I would like to keep every purchase I will let go of a game if the price is right. But the only games you'll be hard pressed to make me sell are my copies of Gradius 3, 4, and 5 on the PS2. Picked up the original GB release (titled nemesis) when I was six and I was hooked on it ever since. To this day its still one of the best series of side scrolling shooters I have ever played.

Nope ._.

It really is just sitting in his room, collecting dust.

FELIPE NO

Okay, well the thread title said ONE game you would never ever trade. If this is console-only, then that's easy: My SNES FFIII copy.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

This, I guess.

How ya doing, buddy?

I would never let go of any of my metal gear solid games 1, 2 and 3. Rpg wise i wouldnt let go of tales of symphonia or FF7 or ogre battle 64. As for other random games banjo-kazooie and banjo-tooie are golden treasures.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Lunar: Silver Star Story complete is probably highest on the list. It took me years to find it.

Jet Set Radio for dreamcast. I love dreamcast games and they are hard to find.

Crazy Taxi for dreamcast. Likewise, dreamcast is quite precious to me.

Harvest Moon for snes. The game was great. I love it to death.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of selling Harvest Moon 64 which I enjoyed very much. It makes me sad. One of these days I will reclaim it on ebay or amazon.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Probably has been mentioned here already...Haven't let go of my original FFVII since release. I can't even play it but I just don't let it go =/

Is the pay good? I would have imagined them paying you with next to nothing, only to sell any rarities back for half the price of a console system. Not that I would trade-in my old consoles.

For the SNES, would never trade-in Secret of Mana.
Battletoads and Double Dragon for the NES.
On the PlayStation it's between the first and second Suikoden games. As I have yet to finish the second with all the characters, I'll keep that one.
Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64.
As for the PlayStation 2? Haven't really played many of my PlayStation 2 games. Suikoden 4 because it's a Suikoden title?

The one game I would never trade in has to be Suikoden II.

How ya doing, buddy?

- Vagrant Story. Still have the demo CD that came with it too, with the playable demos of Dew Prism Threads of Fate, Chocobo Racing, Front Mission 3, and videos of Chocobo's Dungeon 2, Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana, and SaGa Frontier 2.

- Xenogears. 'Nuff said.

- Gitaroo Man. Was hard enough finding it in the first place, and I can't get enough of it.

- ICO & Shadow of the Colossus. Pretty much what everyone else's said about these two gems.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

One Game?
Ah, gee. I dunno. I guess it'd be my copy of FFVII. I still enjoy this game to this very day. I spent weeks playing this game never to get bored of it. I really enjoyed everything about this game.

and...

Bubble Bobble (Spectrum) - Yes i know i can get it for just about any other console now, but it's not the same. I hours of fun on this. I tried playing it the other day, but my spectrum has died since i last used it

and if i had it, Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) - This game is my favourite Zelda game. Again, hours of fun.
*Note to self: Buy Zelda: A Link to the Past for SNES*

FELIPE NO

I would not trade any of my games that have the label SquareSoft on it, haha definitely not....I had a copy of Legend of Mana that I would not trade...unfortunately I had to return it because it didn't work and I was not going to keep a copy that didn't work...oh well, better luck next time right?!?!?! I'm about to buy my friends Atari (yea just to say that I have an Atari lol) and I probably won't trade any of the games that come with! lol

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I never traded any games, actually, except for SO3 (it sucked), but if I was a regular trader, here is a list of the games that I refuse to part with:

Star Fox - I don't even have a SNES anymore, but I'll never part with it. It's an amazing game, and the best SF game to date.

FFVIII - My favourite RPG, and it has my favourite VG character in it, so nobody lays a hand on it.

Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen series - My first and only import games, they hold a special place in my heart. I have the first 3 games, and it's an fun series and worth a buy for any Naruto fan.

Update: Oh, I found some more I'd never part with:

The Sims 2 - The game you either love or hate. I've had such a blast with it that I'd really hate to see it go, especially now that a pets expansion pack has been confirmed. It's a far better game than the first one.

BF2 - Unless I stop getting broadband, I'd never trade what is possibly one of the best muilti-player games ever made.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Kairyu hit the money on tha fact that I don't play xenogears on my PC

I just wouldn't trade it; strange no?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i'd never trade all my US import Game (i haven't got any jap game...): Chrono cross , Legend Of mana Xenogear , Chrono trigger, FF6 (ff3 us ;-))... i think i'll never sell rpg games...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

METAL SLUG, cartridge, NeoGeo. Those clowns on ebay are far from the thruth.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I would never trade my Panzer Dragoon Saga for Saturn. I wouldn't even let anyone play it. Stay back! STAY BACK!

That's right. I pre-ordered the fucker.

Then like the FOOL I am, I threw away the box and manual.

The Swordless Link glitch (and the countless glitches that spawn from that as well) are cool as HELL, though. <3

Yeah. I still remember holding the box for the first time and not being able to open it until Christmas. At least I got a taste of the game early at a friend's house.

Ah, the memories. Definitely wouldn't let go of that game. And I still have the box and instructions. :biggrin:

Other than the majority of my Super NES collection, I could never, ever part with Guilty Gear X2. I found a copy off eBay last year, and since last March, I've played it on most days at least once. I thought it looked like a fun, interesting game, but I never imagined it'd end up being my favorite game of all-time, nor did I think I'd still be playing it over a year later. Doesn't look like I'm going to stop playing it anytime soon, either.

FELIPE NO

I would never trade "Every Game in my collection" for the "Every console made" console.

I have owned and kept everything since Super Mario Bros. 1985.

How ya doing, buddy?

Any and all of my game purchases. Seriously. Though If I had to pick just a few to keep preserved even after my death, it'd have to be:
Megaman X3. Oh sure, not as good as the previous ones, or the latter for that matter. However the rarity alone is incentive, but more than that, is the sentimental value. I truly loved that game, still do; it was one of the most challenging and fun ones I can recall. Plus, my current copy was given to me by someone very close, so there's emotional attachment as well.
I HAD a copy of Phantasy Star 4 for the SEGA Genesis, which I would have kept for the rest of my life, but some fucker stole it. It was one of the first RPGs I've played that had a good story, likeable characters, beautiful in-game graphics (especially for a 16-bit game), and an impressive battle system complete with combo-attacks. God fucking damnit, I miss that game so much...
The Megaman Zero games for GBA. 2 & 4 were hard as hell to find, and 3 was just awesome. 1 wasn't as good, but still did justice to the Megaman franchise. Plus, the ending of Zero 4 actually brought tears to my eyes. Final battle (against an actual human, more or less) with the best battle theme ever and all.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hmm....One single game? That would be Final Fantasy Tactics. Leave me on an island with a PS1, TV, and lifetime supply of food/water and I'd be good to go. This game is beyond amazing. Though a close second would be my beloved Final Fantasy VI.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Probably Radiant Silvergun.

People bug me about it all the time and I'm like NO. Its not for sale or trade.
