the holy grail in your genesis collection?

[timemaster11]

yes, this was very hard to come by. As far as the complete Genesis set I think you could complete and just minus OJ, some people don't consider it part of the set, I do which is why I wanted it, but that's a debate for another thread. I am about 170 games away from a complete set and I hopefully next week I can show off a complete as far as I know cardboard box genesis set.

These are my holy grail items:

They are the large Australia box-sets, I only need Batman Forever to own all three.

I guess my holy grail in my collection is my Model 1 HDG and Model 1 SCD combo. They just look so lovely together!

My overall holy grail is probably my Nintendo Gameboy light, or my Gameboy color Pokemon Diamond pirate cart.

Dude, I would kill for a Korean Mega Drive. I'll pay handsomely for one.

As Breetai mentioned, I would be able to get you one. I'll be leaving Korea in May. I have a Korean MD for myself back in the US, so I'd be fine selling the unit I am currently using now.

As far as my own collection, I value my own Korean collection quite highly. I haven't done a full count in a long time, but I've got about 100 boxed/CIB Korean Mega Drive games. The only major releases I'm missing are Snow Brothers and Slap Fight. I've got a small number of other games I'm missing, but none that would be as valuable as those two. If I had to choose personal favorites from my Korean collection, it would probably be Sonic 2 CIB, Shining Force II CIB with translation book, or the two different releases of Ristar (both CIB).

How much did you pay for you're Korean copy of Eliminate Down?

The Landstalker Encyclopedia was my "holy grail" for a long time.
In the midst of the search for that I discovered and purchased the Making of Landstalker book.
That is definately my favorite uncommon item.
Pulseman Electrance music cd is another favorite.

To be honest, I was happy to even find a second hand Sega Genesis, Model 1 a few years ago, after I got back into gaming, after walking away from it for 15 years, when I was 16 years old. I'd still pay a lot for a near mint model one (with High Definition Graphics script), with no scraches on the shiny, black plastic parts. My favorite games for my system are Shining Force 2, Castlevania: Bloodlines and Contra: Hard Corps, and Streets of Rage 2, even if they aren't rare.

I've found a few HDG model 1's here in Columbus but only have found one in good condition. It was in a bag that looked made for it although it was for some kind of audio equipment I believe. The last one I found at Ohio Thrift was pretty scratched up and they wanted $25 with no games and I didn't think that was a good deal at all.

My Pro Action Replay 2 is the only "rare" Mega Drive item I own. It's about the only thing I've had to track down. I can't recall a single time I've seen a nice Model 1 in the past couple of years. They're all pretty rough. I saw a minty Model 2 for sale but I passed because it was the bad sound version.

Well, I don't think I have anything in my collection - from any system - that I would consider a "holy grail", but I've got some stuff that I think is pretty cool.

- My CIB launch Genesis system (including the pack-in game, Altered Beast), which is my "daily driver".
- My Copy of Gunstar Heroes. Why? One day I noticed that I didn't have the game anymore. Must have forgotten about foolishly selling it off at some point. Later that day I go over to the used media store just to see what's doing, and find a nice CIB replacement copy - for $3.
- My Blockbuster Game Factory cart. Just something neat to have, and I got it by trading someone at CGE 2k5 a bunch of common 2600 games for it.
- My promo copy of Toy Story, which has a blue monochrome printed label and weighs a ton because its chock full o' EEPROMs. Found it at a flea market for $2.
- My CIB copy of Phantasy Star IV. Because it cost me 50 cents at Goodwill of all places, and was the only gaming-related item in the store that day.

And of course my Everdrive, because those things are awesome.

I saw some Korean Mega-CDs listed on eBay the other day and I'm guessing they're yours. Funky stuff since I'd never seen Korean MegaCDs before.

I recently spent $170 in ebay gift cards for a copy of Snatcher on Sega CD. Totally worth it man.
