February 2014 pick ups, purchases and hauls

Oh, I see. For a game I never intend to open, and that I want to hang on my wall, it's a good way to keep them perfect. So, I guess I collect murdered games.

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 . But good for you, is something you like to collect, nice 

[Arseen]

I finaly got to sit down and play Conker's Bad Fur Day, and so far I'm disappointing. I'm doing some dumb cheese transportation mission, I just started but it is so far not very fun.

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!

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.

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.

I got this in today.

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.

I have a sealed copy of Halo 2 I don't want to open even though it really isn't that valuable. On one hand I say to myself, this game was meant to be played, just let it be naked and free.

But it just doesn't feel right for me to tear open the game and pop its seal, not yet. I think that some day it should be opened. We'll see.

Some pick ups came in!

[JakeHC]

I recently picked up a PAL Sealed copy of Digimon World for the PS1 for 50 bucks. Open pre-owned copies are worth 75, so god knows what this one is actually worth. I want to open it however I think if I do I will make it lose it's value drastically.

I liked it the first time that I played it. I laughed. It's freekin' funny. However, i find it to be a difficult game to play at times. Sometimes it can be annoying but i like it. Keep playing. You may end up liking it too.

Yeah, I played a bit more and started to like it more. It is not as good as Banjo-Kazzoie, some design aspects are flawed, like lack of flash time after and injury, I hit hit 3 times in a row from one of thous big boxes you have to get past, because it crushed me, I was flat and could not move and it came back down and hit me again, and again. And not having the ability to skip test is annoying, when its Conker slowly telling you how to jump or dive.
I do like how not straight forward it is, stuff like the battle of the big hay stack or the pitchfork. It's not just hit him, you have to get him wet and push a button, or have him destroy the hay stacks.

trust me when say keep playing the game. Its one of those games that start off slow, but it will get more fun. I just recently played this game last summer on the original xbox and it never fails to make me laugh!

ja, i knew that there was something very annoying about it but i couldn't remember. Overall, i like the game but it is difficult at times and has several glitches. It's funny but a bit perverted. The sunflower bouncing breasts is both funny and perverted.

interesting game. You know the designers had a few beers before thinking about this one. LOL.
I also like Banjo-Kazooie and -Tooie. Very good games. Some of my favorites. I miss Rare. Rare made good games.

DK64, Conker's BFD, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Shadows of the Empire, Beetle Adventure Racing and Jet Force Gemini are my favorite N64 games.

Stubbs the Zombie on original Xbox is another good one that's a little off the beaten path. I really like the 50s theme and bloody humor in this game. Uses the Halo 2 engine so controls similarly but in 3rd person view.

Didn't realize Stubbs was somewhat rare! I picked up a copy for $2 about a year ago. Good investment!

You could always buy a loose or opened copy to play - shouldn't run you more than $10.  Although I don't specifically collect sealed games, I have a few, and unopened games look good in a collection.  I recently bough a sealed NHL 2K2 for Dreamcast for $2.  It's by no means rare or uncommon, but it's the last Dreamcast game to be released (at least in the U.S.), so I consider it a collectors item in it's sealed state.
