Just like the title says, what games do you no longer have for whatever reasons but wish you had again? For me:

  • Magic Pengel The Quest For Color - PS 2 - I was watching the intro video to this again, and that's what made me start this thread so much. God I miss this game. It wasn't much more than paper, rock, scissors but I LOVED the atmosphere (Studio Ghibli was involved with this game's character and environment designs), the music, the pride you get from drawing your monster and THE COLOR! LOTS OF COLOR! This game is the anti-Quake, seriously. I was kinda hoping for a Wii port, but it looks like that is never going to happen. Damnit, Taito. :( Sold, because I needed the money.

  • Dragonseed - PS 1 - I think nobody really remembers this because it was a Jaleco (who's that!? :P) game, but it was so kickas. It was like Monster Rancher with dragons but it used memory card saves to make your dragons. Your dragons could actually die in battle, which was sad because you really got attached to them. Excellent atmosphere in this too (for what little there was), aided by some really nice music. I've no idea why this never got popular. Rented, never owned, and never bought it when the video store closed down.

  • Azure Dreams - PS 1 - This is a little more popular, a pretty cool monster-raising sim from Konami that features random dungeons and also is a town-building sim as well. GREAT GREAT GREAT atmosphere in this one, you can do a lot of cool stuff in the town, it has some interesting battle aspects as well. The soundtracks is both phenomenal and like nothing else you'll ever hear in a video game; I can only describe it as Japanese RPG style melodies played in an Indian/Celtic style. Also the main monster Kewne was a PIMP. :3 Rented, never owned, and never bought it when the video store closed down.

At least the Internet makes these somewhat easier to get again. Do you have any games you miss and no longer own?

Didn't we already have a thread like this?

Anyways, I wish I could find Whiplash and play Need For Speed III again.

HeartGold, mainly because I lost it over the Christmas weekend after spending half a week trying to catch Kyogre.

Super Mario Sunshine. Every time I do the Delfino Plaza level in SSBB, I get nostalgic. sad It's looking like it's going to be the first game I'll have bought, sold, and re bought because I missed it so much.

ENJOY MY MONEY, GAMESTOP!

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Lended it to someone I shouldn't have had, I freakin loved that game too. Oh well, I'm sure I can find one used.

Also Nightmare Ned, my copy is ruined and I wouldn't be even to play it on this computer anyway.

Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!

Boy, I sure do wish I'd known it was one of the rarest N64 games before I up and sold it because I got frustrated with the final level. >< Who do I have to pay exhorbitantly to get this on the VC?

Phantom Brave for the PS 2. I gave it away to one of my friends because I was trying to unload my collection, and now I want it back.

Does anyone know if the PSP version is going to have the "Another Marona" storyline that was present in the Wii port?

I think so; the PSP game will be a port of the Wii edition.

Dragon Quest 3 GBC and the first three Dragon Quest Monsters games (1 and the two versions of 2). All three were played until they died on me. They just died and went to video game Heaven one day. Each occasion was sad and met with a bit of crying.

Dragon Quest 1-4 NES are also missed. Yes they were horrible compared to the remakes but they have this charm to them. This frustrating and hideous charm that I just adore about them. That and the soundtrack of the 4th game is pretty freaking awesome on the NES.

Dragon Quest 7. It was my uncle's game really, but I played it all the damn time. I fucking loved that game. It is high up on my favorite Dragon Quest games list and in my favorite games of all time list. Because it was that fucking awesome. That soundtrack...those visuals...that story...THAT EVERYTHING. FISHBEL!!!! KEIFER!!! ;_;

Moving away from Dragon Quest...I miss owning a SNES. If I still owned one I could be playing Lufia 1 and 2, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Donkey Kong Country 3, and Final Fantasy 3 on that glorious old box... Sure I have RO Ms and an emulator on my computer but there is a charm to owning the system and using it.

Super Mario 64. Can't find it anywhere but eBay, and an emulator's just not the same, dammit!

Pokemon Gold. I still have it, but the battery in the cartridge ran out, so I can no longer save in it. And I sold my PS 2, so God of War 2 as well.

I still technically own my copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee. However, pulling it out to play again, I've found that it's scratched beyond repair.

  • Wind Waker: scratched up beyond repair
  • Meteos: took a trip through the dryer with a piece of gum; could not be removed
  • Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow: went MIA when I moved 2 years ago
  • Mega Man ZX: same
  • Wario Ware Twisted: younger brother lost it what seems like aeons ago
  • Samand Max Seasons 1&2: Gametap account expired.
  • Planescape Torment: Gametap took it off their catalog years ago. I never got to finish it.

[up][up] You should be able to get the entire Telltale Sam & Max series (that's a total of 16 episodes) for $39.95 directly from their site. Not bad, eh? As for Planescape: Torment, check GOG.com.

WWE Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain for the PS 2. Wrestling games never seemed quite as fun after that (Smackdown vs. Raw was okay).

Pretty much everything I owned on my N64 including: Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, WWF Wrestlemania 2000/No Mercy, and Donkey Kong 64.

Pokemon Gold. I still can play my Red, but the battery just had to die for Gold... ugh. Throw Mario Land 2 and 3/Wario Land in there as well.

Genesis is pretty well covered with the Ultimate Genesis Collection.

Don't worry, it will.
