If i had one vga It only would take five minutes of me seeing that on a shelve and then open it. I will have to play it :P. But good for you, is something you like to collect, nice ;)

Not sure how similar they are, but my fave part in Conker Live and Reloaded had to be bouncin on the sunflowers big boobs

Very similar, and the opera or girl with teddy bear is best.
Too bad they sencored the Live and Reloaded.

Even though I don't collect VGA either, good for you doing what you like. If you take personal satisfaction out of something and aren't hurting anyone, then you're always right. To each their own! :D
I think I would feel compelled to 'uncork' one of those VGA games if I saw one in person. Is it possible to open the VGA case just to hold the game or is it permanent?
I have to admit though... I am mildly disturbed by the idea of a game that can never be played. It is a little sad to me in a way, but that is counterbalanced by the satisfaction you take out of it resting in a protected case. :P

I personally don't think I could ever get myself to buy a VGA graded game. I would just be too tempted to open it up and play the game, which is the way it is meant to be. But segamer does have a point. If he has no intention of playing the game and it is just hanging on the wall for display, then I completely understand opting for a VGA game. But how much of a premium is one willing to pay for such an item? From what I understand simply grading a game increases its "eBay value" exponentially.

Do you collect a lot of VGA games or is this one of the few exceptions?
segamer:
There's just a hand full of games I want a VGA seal version of; mostly Saturn games. I keep a lot of my games seal. It's also a great way to stave off the temptation of opening games I want to keep sealed.
