What's game have you most regretted selling?

[Lagduf]

Metal Slug 3 MVS
Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara CPS2 Blue Board
Shock Troopers MVS

That's pretty much it.

Not necessarily a regret, but I traded my minty Dracula X for the original model of PSP, which was worth about $150 used at that time. Not a bad trade by any means, and I couldn't have afforded a PSP for quite some time after that, but I'd much rather have that Dracula X back now. Thankfully Dracula X is worth a lot less now, I've seen it sell for as little as $60 these days.

Not a game but I once sold my absolut mint (bought it direct from a store) Sega Multimega because I needed money to buy the Ghibli Ga Ippai LD Box...... a fucking LD BOX!!! :-(
Now you get all the films on DVD and soon on Blu-ray for cheap, but try to find a like new Multimega. Complete in box and everything.......
Argh, now I'm depressed.

Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. It played worse than the NES originals so I didn't keep it. Can't believe how much this goes for now.

A couple of years back I raided my parents storage for my old games. Out of the SNES games I really cared for, this was the big one that was no where to be found. It took me a good 6 months of a saved eBay search to get it back. $75 for a minty loose copy - which is the most I've paid for any single games. It's still worth it to not have to play the games over NES composite.

Panzer Dragoon Saga, Sega Saturn

The only game I regret selling. Since Sega "lost" the code years ago we'll never see an HD remake or a port. My fingers are forever crossed in the hope that someone will reboot the series from the ground up, but I fear that'll never happen. If you're an rpg fan, it's truely a game that makes the Saturn worth owning at some point in your life. I love it more than Suikoden and Skies of Arcadia; games that made the PS1 and DC worth owning.

The people who regret selling games for 20 bucks ten years ago just because the game goes for 70 now are pathetic.

Hell, even without factoring the money, anyone who regrets selling a video game from such a long time ago when it can be easily re-obtained doesn't have healthy priorities.

You people disgust me. Move on.

 

[NeoGeoNinja]

I'm on the fence about it.

Could probably, quite easily re-acquire a PDS with what you'd sell a Taromaru for though... unless, you want both?

I've always fancied PKT myself, but it doesn't look worth the excessive asking/collectors price vs my personal enjoyment.

 

[NeoGeoNinja]

My fingers are forever crossed in the hope that someone will reboot the series from the ground up, but I fear that'll never happen.

Although it's unofficial, I suppose the forthcoming Crimson Dragon is the nearest you'll get in the foreseeable.

Looks good to be honest, apart from the single, obvious drawback re: controls...

 

[Takumaji]

I only sell or give away games that I really want to get rid of and never re-bought anything.

I only 'accidentally' rebought something. I proxy bid for someone on eBay, but he completed a deal with someone else. Was an Asterix PCB at a great price. Other than that, what's gone is gone.

 

[Comrade Porn King Mikhail]

No real regrets but I sometimes wish I had held onto my original NES system instead of giving it away to a cousin in the mid-90s. Would've been a nostalgic item to keep around, even though I found a replacement down the line.

I would have probably held onto my home carts for a few years longer beyond 2002-2003. I thought they peaked in value, but was wrong about the high end games.

 

[hoop-jones]

I don't regret selling any video game i have ever owned.

Nothing of that stuff is even close to rare. I could buy every single game in no time if i had the cash available.
I could only regret the bad deals where i lost money...

 

[Taiso]

The only games I regret selling are the original NES copies of Dragon Warrior I, II, III and IV.

Not because they represent some pinnacle of gaming (although they are all pretty cool) or because I can never play them again (I have them all for handhelds-I, II and III play fine on my Gameboy Player and IV plays on my 3DS.)

I think it has more to do with what those particular games, as well as the original NES Final Fantasy (which I still have complete in very pristine shape), represented to me at the time they were released.

I was playing a lot of RPGs on the C-64 at the time. A lot of Ultima and early EA offerings, like Standing Stones, Bard's Tale and Wasteland. Those games represent a very magical time in my life, when I could lose myself for hours upon hours and not have to worry about things like work and bills. My very own Never-never land, so to speak.

But computer RPGs began evolving to the point where the C-64 couldn't run them anymore. Not the ones I wanted to play. Ultima VI ran like ass on my Commodore and my disk drive started flagging at the same time. My only option was to buy a PC, but I didn't have the cash for that.

Then along comes the NES. Granted, the RPGs weren't nearly as robust as what was available on the C-64 (at that time) but their simplicity and the ease of play with them really struck a cord within me. After using graph paper to make so many maps, hand writing spell ingredients and recording whole journals of game notes just to beat those games, the NES provided a simpler alternative.

Add to that that I was really falling in love with anime and manga at that point in my life, and many of the support materials for these games (manuals, strategy guides, Nintendo Power articles, etc.) had that exact art style and my mind made up the difference in what the games looked and sounded like.

So from that standpoint, and what the DW games were at that time, I really wish I still had them. I still love breaking out my old FF cart or my gold Zelda carts and just thumbing through the included materials and inserts. It's a tactile experience that takes me back in a way that a 'greatest hits' version or a compilation just can't touch./

But other than those DW games, I can't think of a single game I regretted selling or giving away. So obviously, it has to be something really special for me to care.

Only game I really regret selling as Musha for Genesis.

Now cart only copies are going for more than what I sold mine CIB for.

This. Booo... This has nothing to do with losing out making extra $$ on a sale rather, I want to play the damn thing again and don't want to buy it back at current prices.

 

[jsiucho]

I dont have anything I sold that I regret, but when I was younger, I lend a friend my Genesis with like 35 games good ones too, for his Snes and like 4 games. Then I moved and when I asked for it back he said he had sold it.

Something similar happened to me and my first C64 which I borrowed to my then brother-in-law. Then my sis and he got divorced and I never saw the machine, 1901 monitor, two disk drives, two printers, several joysticks and three boxes full of software ever again. Bought another one shortly afterwards but I wish I still had some of the games he took with him, for ex. a small box with ten original SSI game disks (war games) + manuals. They were hard to get back then but are impossible to find in this day and age.

ROMs are not really an option here as many of the more obscure titles aren't available and you can't play them without the manual or keyboard overlays.

 

[Taiso]

I still have my 1901 monitor and it still works.

My wife doesn't understand why I keep it.

There are just so many important games I experienced for the first time ever on that monitor. So many memories, all through that old unit. Literally, hundreds of C-64 games and many of the greatest NES and SNES games ever made, all visible thorugh the press of one solid grey button.

Everything about that monitor was reliable. Even when you powered it on, that resistance in the spring you felt, that solid 'click' as ht locked into place. Don't make 'em like they used to.

I am sure I still have the computer and a floppy disk drive somewhere. I know where all my games are. Wonder if any of them still work.

 

[Takumaji]

I still keep my full C64 setup at my office, life is possible without playing the good old 8bit breadbox at least once a week, but useless.

I still miss playing Bard's Tale :/

I don't know if you need to play it on C-64 or if you just want to revisit the old game, but the trilogy is available on iOS, packed in with the Inixile 3D game. It's all pretty cheap. If you have an iPad, might be worth checking out.

I'm playing it now on the pc on an old dos machine, but the C-64 version has a charm all it's own, as a matter of factly I might still have my party that was imported through 2 and 3 somewhere on a 5 1/4 somewhere. But I'll check out the iOS versions, thanks Taiso

I almost never sell any games, but the only one that annoys me still is when I traded in my copy of Last Blade 2 on DC because there was something else I wanted to get at the time and figured I'd just re-buy it when I had the money. My buddy at EB put it on hold for me so I could buy it back, and sometime shortly after, his boss sold it to someone, disregarding the note to hold it. I've never been able to get it back since; I refuse to pay ridiculous ebay pricing.

I don't get it, it's only about $20 and a pretty bad port of the game.

 

[NeoTheranthrope]

None. I've never sold or traded any of my games, deliberately...

I dont have anything I sold that I regret, but when I was younger, I lend a friend my Genesis with like 35 games good ones too, for his Snes and like 4 games. Then I moved and when I asked for it back he said he had sold it.

...though I've lost/traded a few via actions of my friends.
In jr High, I lent my TMNT: the Arcade Game cart to a friend, who "accidentally" traded it for something at a gamestore, which pissed me off ...until I found that he traded it for River City Ransom.
Some years later, I lent out my Legend of Zelda gold cart to another friend, who traded it for something, then lied about it. Later, through mis-adventure, I managed to acquire his Dragon Warrior II cart as compensation (he eventually became a Juggalo, so fuck him).
During Highschool had another person lose my original Final Fantasy cart, which I've since replaced, and later during collage, another fiend lost my Saturn Mega Man X4 disc, which I haven't replaced, but I can play on the Gamecube Mega Man X Collection.

 

[Wachenroder]

Baiten Kaitos and Baiten Kaitos Origins. I really shouldn't have sold em. I normally hold on to games I like but for some reason I sold those and I regret it.
