the holy grail in your genesis collection?

[David J.]

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).

I <3 my Japanese Musha (which i scored for a great price), my loose copy of Blaster Master 2 which I got for $5 while on tour in Baton Rouge (random as hell), Golden Axe Warrior for SMS, my original copy of Phantasy Star from when I was a wee one, my copy of Einhander which I bought for $29.99 on the release day (Best Buy had it advertised as some special deal in the sunday paper) and my copy of Earthbound which I traded for a PSX Theme Park when I was a kid (i think I did alright in that trade).

Although a great game, it's not my favorite of all-time; SoR2 gets that honor. However, as a collectible, this is by far my favorite Genesis game in my collection:

What's inside that box? It seems to be bigger than the usual packaging.

[rift]

D&D: Warriors of the Eternal Sun w/ strategy guide because it is my favorite genesis game

What is that? I've never seen Sonic 2 in that packaging before. Looks like cardboard even.

[SpaceFlea]

It is cardboard, and it is a regular size box.

I'm most proud of:

Splatterhouse 2
Shining Force 2
Phantasy Star I - IV

Apparently, I have the 2nd rarest SMS game according to RarityGuide in Sonic the Hedgehog. I didn't even know. Golden Axe Warrior is another one that I love. Looking at that list, I'm surprised that Zillion isn't considered to be rarer considering its quality and therefore the likelihood that folks have held onto it.

Blackthorne on 32x.

Lunar: TSS on SCD.

My most sought after game is Dune on the Genesis. Don't think it'll happen, though I never thought I'd find Splatterhouse 2 either.

Incidentally, I only just discovered that rarityguide site while browsing this thread. I wonder what mechanism they use to determine rarity? For example, it says that Kenseiden on SMS is extremely common, yet I've only seen it in the wild once (when I bought it) and it's commonly on lists of hidden gems. Is it because its quality is unknown or lesser-known?

I'd say I'm really big on Ranger X and its crazy graphics and fun (if sometimes slow and methodical) gameplay. I'd probably say that and/or my complete copy of 32X MK2 are the major centerpieces for my Genny stuff. Less sure what to make of my SMS collection.

Overall though for all my games, I'd go with Bayonetta. Got that mashed-up Hang-On and After Burner action in it, even!

RarityGuide is a bit of a crapshoot, sometimes the numbers can be pretty off. Also, what make the SMS Sonic the Hedgehog so rare is actually just a tiny UPC sticker on the back of the case. That little sticker is the difference between a $10 game and a $1000+ game.

That little sticker is the difference between a $10 game and a $1000+ game.

Actually, the last couple copies of the game have only sold between $200-300. That $1,000 one was just an outlier whose price was fueled by three desperate high rollers.

I haven't got many rare titles, but my best finds so far have been;

Streets of Rage 2, CIB (PAL), for £1.
and Rocket Knight Adventures CIB (PAL), stunning condition for £10. (Don't know if that's a bargain, Having played the game, I assume it is).

Master Converter 2
