We all talk about collecting games, but here's something else: what about memorabilia? Mods, please add any choices I might've forgotten.

What is the question? I only see "Which pi".

"Which pi" is one of the most important questions you'll ever be asked. Don't break under the pressure Zebbe, you know you can answer it.

I actually have very little memorabilia aside from soundtracks and print ads. I'd like to acquire more, but right now I don't have the space to properly display store ads, etc.

Talk like that is making *ME* nervous about answering the question.
I might need to "phone a friend".

Does the video category mean speedruns? I have some of those and some soundtracks on the PC. Not really interested in anything else.

All I have are a few sound tracks, some small books/comics, and a few figures(or maybe they're toys?) I don't really take it seriously as most of this stuff is a waste of money.
Here be a list!
1. Twisted Metal 3 Soundtrack
2. Sonic Adventure 2 Soundtrack
3. Book/coin/ect in Sonic Adventure 2 Birthday Pack
4. Medieval 2: Total War Soundtrack and other stuff(came with limited edition)
5. Two Sonic branded(Tails) figures/toys
6. Three Archie Archives Comics
7. Disc World Book/figure
8. SEGA posters that came with my Genesis and stuff
9. Sonic and Knuckles SatAM story book
10. Comic Book with large Mario Bros. Atari ad in it(if that counts)
I have figures, store ads and banners, posters, wall scrolls, etc. Anything gaming-related that I can find gets displayed in my game room. Currently, said room is overflowing, so I've had to put some stuff away, but I'm going to build a new 15'x15' room soon, so I'll have plenty of space to display it all.

I have the Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack, and an old Sega poster from the time of the first Sonic (it's older than me :o).

Is it in good condition? :D Mother Nature is too strict sometimes.

I used to have a life sized Shenmue stand up. I still have a red Fatal Fury hat. My favorite is my G.I. Joe sized Sega Saturn.

I've got two of them! one all new and never worn.
I've got a few game related T-shirts, used to have loads of posters but they got chucked out. Also got a few DVD's of films based on games if that counts, Mortal Kombat, Art of Fighting etc. I soon got bored of memorabilia, I'd rather have more games instead :)

The Sonic poster?
It's in decent condition, I actually found it tucked in the back of a Megadrive game (behind the cover) a few years after I got my MD, the previous owner must have forgotten about it, and it hadn't been put up before.

The most I have is a Sonic poster (circa Sonic 1, black "Sonic the Hedgehog" giving the "attitude" finger).
A McDonald's Mario 3 "jumping" Raccoon mario.
A Tyris Flare gashapon figure.
Both a pin and bumper sticker that say "Duke Nuken '96". Plus my Duke3D mousepad.

I've somehow acquired some videogame soundtracks, the few CDs that I'll never ever play in public. Other than that, not really.

I have some Final Fantasy stuff from when I adored the series and a Sonic 2 T-shirt.

I recently purchased a Sonic the Hedgehog T-shirt from some internet T-shirt company that makes retro T-shirts. Does that T-shirt count, or do T-shirts only count if the T-shirt was bought in the 90's, when my T-shirt clearly wasn't as I bought my T-shirt the other week?

If you invent a time machine, go back to 1991 wearing the t-shirt, then it counts.

I have a "Metal Slug" shirt I bought at Hot Topic was the source of some silly controversy over at DP.
Not *my* shirt, but because the MS shirt was being sold at HT.

Not all Video game OSTs are horrible-public-worthy. 'Sides, why hide it? :D

Damn, wish I had a Metal Slug shirt. Love that series.

Metal Slug's rad. My old housemate may or may not have an arcade cabinet that may or may not have MAME hooked up inside, and we may or may not have played a lot of Metal Slug on it.
We still say 'Rocket Launcher' in that amusing accent, no matter what the game (Halo 3 multiplayer saw it trotted most recently).
And to get back on topic, I'm sure I've got a fair bit of gaming fluff but I can't think of it at the moment. I know for sure I've got a lot of silly little things like some 80's wind-up toys, a packet of Pac-Man candy from 1982, the Panorama Cotton cup and the Final Fantasy VI soundtrack. Damn storage - I should write down what's in the boxes before I stash 'em.
The only t-shirt I own is a Resident Evil 4 one with the chainsaw on it, and the only figurine I've got is the Bioshock Big Daddy. Do pre-order trinkets count? And are we only talking old things in this thread?
The question "Which pi" is making me confused, especially because "22/7" isn't one of the answers...

I find few things as enjoyable as playing any Metal Slug on Mame with a six button Genesis controller

It's not based off any game artwork but it does have a Metal Slug on the front and the words "Roll Out!" in big yellow letters.
I tried to look up the t-shirt online but all I got was Metal Slug game artwork and some MS hentai. :?
