I'm still maximizing my GameCube collection and trying to pry open my town's available pawn shops for NES games. What's your gem? Mine is the GameCube GameBoy Player hardware and disc, and a CIB Wind Waker copy. Black label.
Probably my japanese Garou: Mark of the Wolves homecart (Neo Geo), but I'm also pretty fond of my PAL Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Playstation).
It's really hard to say there's one crown jewel. But my N64 is what I'm most proud of. 40 cartridges that all work and I've had it the longest, and it's basically never been unplugged for the past 17 years, and until my WiiU it was the only one that had fancy color controllers, yellow, clear-purple, clear-blue and gray. But if the WiiU VC ever takes off with N64 & GCN games, then it'll take the lead in the best console ever. I can merge all the Nintendo. The Wii was not ready for the massive upgrade I want to do, it was too soon. The amount of games I have for my WiiU almost rivals that of the N64 which has been unbeaten in it's lifetime thanks to download games. Mostly cause I have too many consoles is why it's never been beaten. I'm feeding like 4 systems now as we speak lol But N64 still collects sometimes, I'm trying to find Chameleon Twist 2 now.
The Gamecube games I own are go for about $100 each on Amazon. Somewhere I still have my old Gamecube, untouched since I bought my Wii. And, Metroid Prime Trilogy is $200 on Amazon right now. I don't know how or where my brother found it for me so cheap.
Speaking of my brother, my collection pales in comparison to the goldmine stored in his closet. NES, SNES, N64, I don't know many different Gameboys, and dozens of games to go with them. My other brother took a Gamecube and some games with him when he moved, and I think Harvest Moon 64 as well. I'm dying to try them all out but I don't want to ruin any of them. o_o
In terms of consoles, my phat PS2 which was one of the first made and still works perfectly, and never had any problems.
In terms of games... Possibly that special edition of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, the disc with Ocarina of Time Master Quest on it... maybe my entire MGS collection? Since it includes pretty much every release of every game.
Except MPO. That game sucks and is not canon.
My NES that used to be my parents, along with around 60 of its games. I have the Power Pad and Glove too! Everything works great. I have a Genesis, and a few of its games as well.
Hard to say between the between Resident Evil REbirth, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mass Effect Trilogy, games on SNES like Super Metroid, A Link to the Past or Killer Instinct... and my two Metroid on GBA.
I have three compilation games, including Super Mario All-Stars, Sonic Mega Collection, and Sonic Gems Collection. Also, I have Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, which includes a couple of old Sonic the Hedgehog games.
It's hard to choose, I have so many rare, older and limited edition games as well as normal games and consoles I love.
I guess my LOZ GameCube collectors edition and my LOZ Gameboy Advance Link to the past games, Morrowind Collectors Edition for PC and Golden Sun games are my favourite older ones, and my Dragon Age Origins, Skyrim and Mass Effect Games are my favourite newer games so would be my jewels.
