I know this probably seems like a silly and even stupid waste of time, but when has that stopped me in the past?
Anyway, as the header above implies, this post is all about the five gaming-related items I'd buy if money weren't an issue.
1) A
Bubble Bobble,
Donkey Kong or
Ms. Pac-Man (below) arcade cabinet--No explanation needed, right?
2) Copies of
Coryoon,
Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire and
Madou Monogatari--The first is an expensive PC Engine HuCard game, while the second and third are expensive (PC Engine) Arcade CD-ROM games.
3) A Japanese Mega Drive and a copy of
Panorama Cotton--The latter is an extremely rare Mega Drive cart that, unlike other entries in the
Cotton series (well, except
this one--but it doesn't count because it supposedly sucks), is a 3D shoot 'em up à la Sega's
Space Harrier.
4) A
PC Engine LT--Only the coolest handheld system ever. I mean, it has a four-inch screen and looks like a little laptop--who wouldn't want something like that?
5) A copy of
Punch-Out!! Special--5,000 of these gold-colored carts were awarded to high-scoring participants of a Nintendo Famicom Golf competition, while another 5,000 were given away during a pair of raffles.
Honorable mention: A copy of
Rakugaki Showtime--The obscure "arena combat" game created for the original PlayStation by the geniuses at Treasure. Sadly, I owned a copy of this game for quite some time before (stupidly) selling it a few years ago.
