The Pride & Joy Of Your Video Game Collection
For the majority of us that are gamers, we take great pride in the games that we enjoy. As much as I am a gamer, I am also a collector as well. I mostly collect anime style games which consist of the typical j-rpgs as well as other genre of games that have an anime theme.
I would like to think for everyone of us gamers, there is always that one game or series of games that tends to be our favorite so much so that we're always excited for the next entry of a particular series. Sometimes it even goes beyond the realm of the particular game in itself. We would like to own anything associated with the game, whether its action figures, music soundtracks, cartoons, strategy guides, etc. I know that we have a Backloggery for GFF members to show their video games, but to the GFF community is there a series of games, or collectibles pertaining to a certain game, or even a single game in itself that you consider the pride and joy of your video game collection. This is what I would consider the pride and joy of my video game collection: Once a Xeno-whore, always a Xeno-whore. Games - Xenogears - Xenosaga Episode 1 - Xenosaga Episode 2 - Xenosaga Episode 3 Soundtracks - Xenogears Original Soundtrack - Xenosaga Episode 1 Original Soundtrack - Xenosaga Episode 1 Yasunori Mitsuda - Xenosaga Episode 2 Movie Soundtrack - Xenosaga Episode 3 Original Soundtrack All bootleg soundtracks (wuh-wuh-wuh) Books - Xenogears Perfect Works - Xenogears Player Guide - Xenosaga Episode 1 Player Guide - Xenosaga Episode 2 Player Guide - Xenosaga Episode 3 Player Guide - Xenosaga Episode 2 Magazine - Xenosaga Episode 3 Artbook Action Figures - Kos-Mos Episode 1 action figure DVD - Xenosaga Episode 1 Movie DVD As extensive as the collection is, there are still a few things that I'm missing, such as the Xenosaga Episode 3 action figures, Xenosaga Episode 1 & 2 DS Game (JP), a couple of other xeno-soundtracks and the limited edition hardcover Xenosaga Episode II strategy guide, and Xenosaga the animation. To the GFF community what do you consider the pride and joy of your video game collection. Jam it back in, in the dark.

Priceless.............. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I've shown this off before but it still bears noting because it's still pretty awesome.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Anybody over the age of 20 with a video game collection and boasts about it should probably grow up or kill themselves.
Crash gets an exception 'cause he's got, like, asthma and shit. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I'll post pics later. I'm not sure if my pride and joy in my collection is all the Front Mission shit I have or just the collection as a whole.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I was going to post a collection but then I remembered I've only actually purchased 7 games over my 22 years on this planet. Didn't even buy a decent camera because it's not one of said games and is unworthy of large sums of expenditures.
only games worth owning imo What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? #654: Braixen

How ya doing, buddy? |

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I'm not sure I'd call this my pride and joy, but...
Still has traces of the 80's in the hair. :S Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I own the Fast and the Furious Arcade game in my garage, but I'm not about to go take a picture of it.
This, however, is the next best thing: I'm not even playing. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
The only thing I've ever taken pictures of (besides stuff for the new purchases thread) is my Panasonic Q, because it is glowy, shiny, and Tron-like.
A dimension you have never seen:

I have an original boxed copy of both Suikoden 1 and 2, PAL versions. I'm not especially proud of them but I will enjoy selling them for a couple of hundred pounds to some nerd on eBay one day.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I have the Suikoden games too, but I don't think I could sell them ever. Same goes for Alundra and (only a few) other rarities I've managed to obtain originals of.
What I'd like to have in my collection, in addition, however is the Alundra Original Game Soundtrack. How ya doing, buddy? |
I guess my pride would be my pretty extensive list of PSX RPGs like a lot of other people around here. All of them are complete, though I can't quite provide photographic evidence since they're still at home with my parents.
Alundra 1 Alundra 2 Grandia Lunar SSSC Lunar EB Ogre Battle Suikoden I Suikoden II Tales of Destiny Tales of Destiny 2 Vagrant Story Valkyrie Profile Wild Arms Wild Arms 2 Xenogears There are a bunch more, but I figure those are the most notable of the bunch (also I don't believe any of them are GH versions, though not intentionally). What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I guess the pride and joy of my video game collection is my Japanese version of Sonic CD, complete with instruction booklet. I am also rather fond of my copies of NiGHTS and Christmas NiGHTS.

A lot of people think that Modern Warfare 2 has the coolest video game bonus ever.
A lot of people are dumb stupid fags. Yes, I made an entry about it a while back, but it's still awesome. Behold, the pride of my collection: I mean really, you just can't top this. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
They're probably not quite my pride and joy, but I am fairly fond of my Resident Evil wallet
and the old mah-jong set made by Nintendo in b4 ICO presskit Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Shit Qwarky, that Mahjong set kicks everything I own Nintendo to the curve.
I guess this is the best thing I've got going then: If id's Super Pack ever goes on sale again on Steam I'm insta-buying it, so I can rightfully own everything Doom and everything Wolfenstein too. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I had no idea Alundra was a rare game, I've got a copy of that and Vagrant Story too. My N64 is the limited edition Pokemon Stadium version (Coloured yellow and blue with pictures of Pokemon on it) which I guess is a bit different and I quite often wear the t-shirt I got with Frontlines, mainly because the references to the actual game are pretty subtle.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
How ya doing, buddy? |
Alundra is rare? I don't like the game (it's like a depressing version of Zelda with all the charm and sense of exploration removed ), so it's certainly not a pride and joy of my collection, but it's there on the shelf. Along with Vagrant Story and Grandia 1.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Edit: You can get Alundra on eBay for £2 at the moment. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The earlier Zeldas were also quite challenging, especially Link's Awakening (which also had a really depressing story and ending). You really should play more, man. Just cause the grass is green instead of brown doesn't mean the game itself will be sugary Jam it back in, in the dark. |
