I kept this throughout the years, and was never quite sure why. Now I look back and am glad I did. It was EGM during one of its better periods, also during one of videogaming's best periods. Haven't seen issue 100 on eBay either, though I've only been checking on that since about February this year.
giggas said:I just sold that exact issue and about 200 other NP, EGM and GamePro's from the late 80s - now to a local game shop. I made about 40 dollars in store credit, but that was better than making nothing since it was either taking them there or just throwing them into the recycle bin.
That said, yeah, hold onto it. I held onto a few of my EGM's as well, like the HUGE issues that happened around late '94. It's cool to have some of them around for nostalgia's sake.

eXistor said:Luckily we have a large shed (really more of a small house) where we put assorted crap and I've stashed all my old mags there. I actually rifled through some today as I was feeling nostalgic. My EGM 100 mag is in there somewhere as well
Yeah, they're fun. I like looking through those old mags and seeing the games you never hear people talk about anymore. Remember when Road Rash was new? Or Albert Oddyssey on Sega CD? Virtua Fighter on 32X? Way of the Warrior on 3DO? I also love seeing the ads in the back for all the mail order places that did imports. It was like "Whoa! Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle on SNES? Dragon Ball Z on PlayStation? Those games are so awesome they'll never come out here in the states! lolgiggas said:That said, yeah, hold onto it.

I have a near complete collection of PSM magazine from issues 1-40 that I'm hanging onto as well. Pretty cool since I'm a big PlayStation fan, but not quite as special as the old EGMs that covered gaming in its entirety.

I've had it for years...don't even remember where it came from. I think my dad just found it somewhere.
Wow, massive props for you! I didn't realise this existed, and researching it really isn't cheap.Whimsical Phil said:Fernandes UmJammer Lammy electric guitar
jvm said:How about the gold-embossed Zelda cartridge issue of Next Generation magazine? I have one of those from E3 1997 (or was it 1998)?
Ah, here's an image. The cartridge image is textured and reflective gold.

No idea. AFAIK, only given away at E3, so it had a fairly limited run. Popular magazine, rare cover, notable game. I figured people might dig it and be willing to drop a pretty penny on it. *shrug*OldJadedGamer said:Is that worth money? I was cleaning out storage a few weeks ago and think I threw it away.

[B][s]This is not my image. I have the exact same, though. In the same wrapping and with the same letter. But two of them![/s][/B]
I then randomly searched ebay and found that two were selling for £100 and £125! I was so surprised!
[U]So my question is, what do you think your most expensive and therefore rare gaming item you have is?[/U]
([s]I would provide images if it wasn't so late at night.[/s] Please provide your own images of your items if you can!)
EDIT: I've included my own picture now.[/QUOTE]

Apparently my PS3 English copy of Aquanaut's Holiday is worth like $150+ now according to eBay insanity *mind blown*
Factory Sealed Review copy of Dragon Warrior VII.
eXistor said:What the hell? That's not rare at all, we get it in our shop all the time and sell it for like 13,-. Usually they're in crappy state, but still.
FireCloud said:I don't know. Is the PS1 black label version of Final Fantasy VII rare?
Dr. Light said:It is if it's in mint condition. That's the key. Most people don't take care of their games.
Here's a tip. Learn the ol' case-swapping trick. I've done it many times - bought a black label game from Ebay, then swapped the case with a pristine GH version. Instant mint copy! Of course, you still need the manual and discs in good condition, because you can't swap them (maybe the manual, for some games like FF7 and Legend of Dragoon).
