What games will you never sell?

[WalrusPowers]

All of them.

When I was 8 (8 years ago) My mum convinced me to sell all my games that I never played anymore. I can't remember all of them, but I remember selling:

- Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
- Final Fantasy X
- Sly Cooper
- A whole bunch of PS1 games.

And I have always regretted it. Now I hold dear my 40-something games (not counting digital). Even pure crap-crapium like Maniac Mole.

Actually, can I just talk about Maniac Mole for a minute?
My aunt picked it up at a Newsagent's for 5 Australian Dollars and handed it to me for my birthday. Here is a direct transcript of the blurb that appears on the back:

"Once upon a time, a mole fell asleep in his house, but when he awoke, the world around him has changed. His cozy hole was turned into a laboratory inhabited by some violent creatures. The laboratory is huge, spread around numerous levels, and goes deep underground. Out mole has to go deeper and deeper underground to clear his house off this creatures and destroy the laboratory."

And here is a youtube video I found for it, almost the only record of it's existence that can be found on the net. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arwkqsb9VmU.

I will never sell this game. Mostly so I can refer to it ironically, but still.

captcha: comfort zone.

none of my games, i love them all and i only have a small library full. more PS2 than anything else, almost all my games are a freakin ***** to find anywhere too. Also i have this thing where when i let someone borrow a game i never play, i suddenly want to play it.

i think the only thing i'll sell is my game cube since you can play those games on the Wii.

Most of my boxed collection I will never sell because I generally know what I like and don't fall for marketing hype and buy games because they are popular. Although i've got the odd clanger on 360 that I picked up cheap just to see what the fuss was about, Fable series, Gears of War 2, Ghost Recon AW2.

Most of my impluse buys are digital and I can't atm get rid of them, and besides why would I want to as they don't take up any space in my house.

 

[Fijiman]

Unlike a certain brother of mine, I generally don't like selling my games unless it's a game that I didn't particularly like or have become almost completely bored of it.

 

[Ljs1121]

Pretty much all of them, mainly due to the fact that I occasionally get a burning desire to play a game I haven't in a while.

For example, yesterday I played quite a bit of Soul Calibur 2. I haven't touched that game in six years. Had I sold it, I would have been incredibly sad. But instead I was able to play it and, as such, I was happy.

 

[RipRoaringWaterfowl]

All of 'em.

I have gems like Ninja Gaiden 1 (NES), StarFox, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Civilization V, Galactic Civilizations II, Super Mario Bros. 2, Okami, Romance of The Three Kingdoms IX, The Sims 2, and Grand Theft Auto IV. I'm not getting rid of any of them.

 

[DaWaffledude]

Any of them. I'm a bit of a hoarder.

 

[Fappy]

I've sold like two games ever. Collecting games is part of the hobby, imo.

 

[Uriain]

I havnt returned a game (minus Latest Golden Axe and Viking) in like 4 years. If it were to be any game, I would imagine it would be my CoD games since I dont actually play them all that much.

However, I dont think I will be, I like seeing the collection I have.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

I don't sell games. I may give them away if I get a better version of one, but never sell.

 

[Inconspicuous Trenchcoat]

I have only sold/traded in two games in my entire life--Pikmin and Final Fantasy 12. I just really didn't like Pikmin and felt compelled to get rid of it for some reason... FFXII was simply disappointing. I couldn't care about the characters or story, traded it in. As for other games I no longer have, they've been lost after years of collecting dust, or stolen, or have disintegrated for all I know.

My brother sold my copy of Earthbound (and didn't tell me, until I noticed a few months later when I sat down to play it; asked him about it then confronted him in response to his guilty look--this was like 5 years ago) for $50. I made him pay up, while my mother shouted at me about how we should share our video games. Asking her how my brother selling a game I payed for myself when it was brand new and not telling me was sharing did not get through to her. So, somehow I was the bad guy for demanding the money he made off of my stuff, and he wasn't reprimanded for selling it in the first place...

Didn't really expect this thread to bring out that grudge. My brother and I get along splendidly 95% of the time otherwise.

 

[Inconspicuous Trenchcoat]

Uh, somehow I quoted myself... whoops. Sorry for the double post.

EDIT: So there's some content here: As mentioned above I sold Pikmin. I think I paid full price for it and was mad at the game for being boring? I've had buyer's remorse before, but I've never been mad at the actual product. That was strange, that's never happened again.

 

[the doom cannon]

I will never sell any of my games to a third party retailer because it hurts the industry and gives corporations an excuse to bump up price tags. Selling to individuals I can come to terms with, but I will still not sell games to them either.

Slightly more on topic: I will never ever relinquish my copy of Star Fox 64, Super Smash Bros. Melee, or Gran Turismo 5. Oh and Goldeneye 64.

 

[Pinkamena]

I have a physical copy of Psychonauts (you know, those enormous boxes with tons of CDs in?) that I'll probably keep.

 

[kasperbbs]

Mass effect, StarCraft 2, Civilization 5,TF2, GTA 4, Batman AC and Audiosurf, couldn't care less about the others, but they will stick around anyway because there is no way to sell PC games..

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Graces f, White Knight Chronicles II, Dragon Age: Origins, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Sly Collection, Prince of Persia Trilogy.

Everything I own for Gamecube
Everything I own for Nintendo 64

As a side note, I now have a distinct urge to play White Knight Chronicles. Sucky part is I have to work. :{

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

I know it's a bit of a cop-out answer, but I honestly wouldn't sell any of my games.

I tend to get randomly nostalgic for various games and go back to play them again all the time.

If we make some sort of crazy assumption like I for some reason have to sell off my games in order to survive... I think I'd most likely want to save:

-System Shock 2
-Deus Ex
-Fallout 1/2/Tactics/3 (+ all DLC)/New Vegas (+ all DLC)
-Jagged Alliance 2 (1.13)

 

[dnazeri]

I rarely if ever sell old games. I am blessed enough to not need the trade in credits. That being said, titles I will never part with include: Killer7, Painkiller, Shadow of The Colossus, Psychonauts, Super Smash Brothers, Silent Hill 2, Grim Grimoire, Okami, Ico, and FF7. I was offered 350$ for FF7 and I refused.

 

[Signa]

I own the majority of the Squaresoft games from the SNES. Those will never leave my collection. Hell, all my SNES games are off-limits. Flawless classics, all of them.

To be fair, all my games I bought for keeps. There's a few I wouldn't miss if I lost/sold them, but even with games as new as the PS2, I mean to own them forever.
