Your Favorite Worthless Items in Your Collection?

My complete game.com collection?

[hellfire]

75% of my n64 games barely have any value at all, however their is a soft spot in my heart for n64, ahhhhh the memories of sitting down and playing great games on the n64, as a matter of fact, im going to go play it right now

[norkusa]

A slightly crushed box for Golgo 13 Top Secret Episode. Bought it new back in '88 or '89 when I was 12 and it was the first game I ever bought with my own money. Besides some 2600 carts, it's one of the only game items I still own that I had as a kid.

I doubt I still have them today but for many years, I hung onto several pieces of paper containing passwords that my brother and sister had written down for various NES games such as Goonies II, River City Ransom, Mega Man 2, Faxanadu, Metal Gear and Castlevania II.

Neither my brother or sister really wrote down how far they had made it into a game with a particular password, since they would just reenter it and resume play where they left off. They'd then write the following password right under the previous one. For some games, one of them or the other might have four or five passwords recorded, depending on how many play sessions it took them to get through that game.

For some strange reason, I always found it fun to enter one of their random passwords from a game on the list and see what point it would take me to in that particular game. Just to see how far they had gotten that time.

My e-reader stuff. I don't know why I like it so much

[Draven]

Somewhere I have a huge manilla envelope containing all kinds of Dragon Warrior 1 stuff. Maps, books, notes, etc. It was original Nintendo Power and handmade stuff. I was probably 8 or 9 when I made it. LOVED amassing info about that game, way before you could google it.

[Robocop2]

I guess my copy of ToeJam and Earl. not the first game I ever bought but one of the few that survived the great purge of '93 (sold it to my half bro and then bought it back years later) and still to this day; one of the best

My e-reader stuff. I don't know why I like it so much

Completely agreed, oddly enough. I was just thinking to myself the other day: "I've GOT to get around to finding ALL of these e-reader cards!"

As far as worthless in my collection, I would say the notecard I found tucked into my Game Genie code book. I got the book for $1, and the card has written on it the Konami Code (albeit with a couple "extra steps" at the end, but it would obviously still work). I dunno why, but I was just really amused by a 20ish-year-old notecard with a cheat code on it. (Maybe because games these days don't have (or don't need?) cheat codes).

[RPG_Fanatic]

Mine would have to be my Pocketstation for the PSone. It's brand new, when I moved my girlfriend said what is it and why am I keeping it.

[BetaWolf47]

My e-reader stuff. I don't know why I like it so much

Ditto. e-reader had a ton of individual cards made for it, including the Pokemon TCG cards, so it's extremely collectible. Not to mention that cards that contain video games is an amazingly cool novelty.

Aside from that, probably my Zelda 1 and SF2 Turbo manuals, both of which are missing the cover. Strange how I have exactly one manual of each generation with a torn cover, minus current gen.

Odd how quite a few people are naming damaged items. Remembering how your gaming items have weathered over the years adds to the nostalgia.

My copy of Phantasy Star from when I was a kid still with the 20 year old saves.

[kupomogli]

A couple of really old video game magazines I own.

One of them is a magazine that I bought of the Playstation Magazine(not Official PSM.) I ended up picking one up and it was literally the best gaming magazine I've read. My friend got a subscription to it after I bought it so I ended up reading his, but have always kept that one I picked up.

The other magazines are some really old Nintendo magazines. They're not Nintendo Power and I currently can't remember the names of them(but I never saw again after the second one I bought.) However these had a ton of content. I only own two of them and can't remember which magazine has which games, but they both had reviews and guides of Castlevania 2, Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom, Gilligan's Island, and a couple others. One thing these magazines had that I really wanted once seeing and to this very day the game has remained unreleased was a Magic of Scheherezade 2 ad(and it actually had a few pictures.)

[coreys429]

My complete game.com collection?

Lol, My R Zone stuff. I know I couldn't get any money for it but like the Game.com I enjoy showing people the other side to portable gaming.

[incubus421]

I'm going to go with my original nintendo guide for Final Fantasy III. Yea, I know it usually has some value but mine is nearly in half.
Back cover is missing...all pages are significantly worn. And the first and last 15-20 pages are all ripped out of the binding.
Had it growing up as it was passed down to me from a cousin, I then let many cousins, my brother, etc. borrow it and now it has been reduced to the sad state it is in today. But I still love it!

[Hitman Tyler]

I would say the following:
My almost complete OPM collection with demo disks.
Also most likely my PS1 Twisted Metal 2 Game Case. Its Complete ion the sense of just missing the Disk... .. I love that game it is was one of the many games me and my brother played together. The others he either sold or never played.

My complete game.com collection?

probably because you don't have this:

[Streetball 21]

I'd have to say

-the one dollar bill EGM sent me a looooong time ago. I kept it, not sure why, maybe cause I'm just weird like that lol -
-my copy of Excitebike for the NES, my first ever game for the NES after Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt

[Atarileaf]

I don't have much in my collection that isn't actual systems or games. I don't collect other stuff like lunch boxes or posters, etc. The only, probably worthless thing that I really like is an old Pong System that I picked up a month or so ago called an "APF TV FUN". I really like it as a conversation piece for my collection.

[Game Freak]

Drawings i made during my childhood, of my video game obsession. For example, i have a drawing of the final boss fight in Yoshis Island, drawings of Charmander and Pikachu, and a depiction of the entire map from Super Mario World (apparently from memory, because it is in my writing journal from 2nd grade)

[123►Genei-Jin]

A badly beaten up Famiclone controller (from my 1st Famiclone, the system died and I don't have it anymore) and a "TV games" Famiclone catalog showing tons of early Famicom box art. Then I have an Atari 2600 catalog (a bit worn out) and a bunch of Sega Genesis/CD catalogs and posters. I also have tons of 90's GamePro (spanish version), EGM, GameFan, PSN, NexGen and Nintendo Powah!.
