Pictures are from the Sega8bit.com website.


I bought both the Lucky Dime Caper/New Zealand Story one and the Terminator/Speedball 2 one from Woolworths in Birmingham back in December 1993, but didn't realise they were rare until now. I'm guessing that it was less that the packs were rare and more that the outer packaging was thrown away most of the time. Not sure if kept my outer packaging or not, but I'm hoping to find out that I did when I finally sort through my mother's loft.

I want to say something awesome and mega rare, but I might just say The Simpsons arcade machine.

I used to play it on every holiday to the sea side and would love to go back.

I know you can get it on Xbox live, but theres nothing like a standup cab

Haha why didn't I think of this too. I too lived out a very similar seaside holiday story with The Simpsons arcade machine being the thing I looked forward to most (along with the Namco crocodile whacking game, whatever it was called).

Four of us played the game from start to finish at one of the retro gaming events a while back. :lol:

The Gulf war Game boy that belonged to an American Soldier, it was in a barracks that was bombed & still works!

I'd choose it because, all games & hardware, no matter how rare, have their price, this is priceless!

Well in the same vein...

How about the 1st games console prototype - I cant look now but apparently it is in an american museum somewhere.


Until recently it was the PS1 Ghost in the shell - I could never justify buying it from ebay, always hoped id just find it at a car boot but I now know my 2yr old has bought it for my birthday this year, :D
Aint she clever!

I would really like it when I will check some rare stuff on a market and their buying it for less. That would be awesome, but the chance is just to small. I dont really know what I really want the most, but much as possible. I just started my collection, so it will be awesome to have all the consoles :D

I have a few 'Holy Grails', one of them being a UK copy of Gene Troopers for Xbox, although, that could be in my hands within the next week or so :D
Would love a CIB Steel Battalion...

Matrimelee and Windjammers on AES are probably my biggest, but doubtful i'll ever own them :cry:

The price puts me off buying one, as it often goes for £150 plus, and due to the nature of the console (being disc based) I'm always very wary that the lens is more fragile than a cartridge slot and thus if I were to buy one for such an amount of money and it were to break I'd be up the creek with a paddle.

It also requires an extra power cord which I don't have room for currently, but I could easily solve that if I had one.

I will never own one :cry: I am crying tears.

If I had a spare one,I'd be sending it your way right now due to your heartfelt plea and desire to own one! Keep looking and one will turn up :D

Thank you! You're too kind, though I would never accept such an offer, I would always return some funds ;)

Mine would be a complete, good condition Big Box version of Phantom 2040 for the Mega Drive. Although given how flimsy those boxes were, I doubt 'll find one.

Here you go mate, box doesn't look flimsy either ;)

My grail would probably be one of these, probably the Sonic one....
