CasualCart 6,069 Graphics Team · Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 A question for all the VGS'ers on Santa's Nice List: What would be the ultimate, fantasy wishlist item for your collection? A prototype of your favorite game? A crazy custom console? Rare production artwork? A mint sealed game? For me it would probably be a fully-licensed arcade machine with all my favorite games or a universal ROM-cartridge dumper to archive my collection. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s 3,230 Member · Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 NES Test Station or a Zelda test cart for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen 4,456 Member · Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I feel like sometime in the past I would've said a Sega R-360, but with modern VR being what it is, I think a simpler motion cabinet and a VR headset is probably more fun than a $150,000 G-LOC cabinet that can flip you upside down. Saying that seems crazy to me. We're in the future! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo 1,972 Member · Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Every variant of every poster, flyer, map, registration card, and other inserts for every NES, SNES, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color Game. . . in every region. Would really save me two decades of time that I estimate it will take me to archive them all. That, and a CIB Stadium Events, and a NWC Gold...I’ve been chipping away at a NTSC/PAL-A/B set for a while now and NTSC-US Stadium Events is the only one that I will never be able to justify purchasing no matter how much money I have. ESPECIALLY when the two PAL versions are so cheap by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug 4,283 Member · Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 A NWC gold cart since I'd never be able to afford one without winning the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrobins 1,395 Moderator · Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Lucky & Wild arcade cabinet: not just an arcade game, but a driving-shooter arcade game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH 4,079 Member · Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I’m a simple man. The original art for the sword used on most of the American Final Fantasy games. I assume it was painted on a cel because it is the exact same sword art on Final Fantasy Adventure, Legends II & III, Final Fantasy II & III. I’d give up my entire collection and start over for that one item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerfestus 3,166 Member · Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Would probably have to be a 4 player MAME cabinet with all the trimmings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trj22487 349 Member · Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Also, even though it doesn't have the same nostalgia as the SNES kiosk, I was lucky enough to play one of these a couple of times a few years back when the Pinball Wizard was still open, and while it has way less going for it than the Playchoice-10, it is an extremely cool launch item and must be rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah these kiosks were in department stores and especially Toys R Us in the Early to Mid 90s and I was always mesmerized by the green screen as a kid. There is a standup version too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of having the regular six attack buttons, these two buttons reacted based on how hard you pressed them IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
