Games you will never let go of.

These are the gems that were so good that you vowed to take it with you to your grave should the grim reaper show his face. Not even a million bucks would merit a trade for this wonderful game.
 
Yep, it's about that time again, everyone. Post the game that you would keep forever, one that you will NEVER trade, sell, or throw away.

For me it's Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring for the Playstation
Say what you want about the game, I love the hell out of it.

I don't have anything to contribute to the thread except to say that anyone who liked Ehrgeiz is okay by me.

I would never trade in any of my games so I'll say a game that I will continue to play every year; Need For Speed High Stakes.

Tough one.. but I still have Okami for PS2, even though I've sold the Playstation over half of the games I had for it.

Shadow of the Colossus. That was the first game-world that I actually wanted to explore, even if there wasn't much to find. It's kind of hard to explain, but I felt such strong feelings towards it. I was in a bit of a depression when I first played it, and exploring the world just made me feel happy and at peace.

Anyway sorry if that's a bit cheesy, but I don't think I would ever sell that game.

Shenmue.

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Panzer Dragoon Orta

Anything Metal Gear Solid related will be in my casket, Max Payne and of course....the greatest game ever made...Eternal Darkness.

Metroid Prime Trilogy.

My favorite game of all time is Super Metroid but sadly I have neither the cartridge nor a working SNES with me. Luckily, I have it... well, my brother has it on the Wii Virtual Console, which looks and plays better than the original anyway. But even if I had both, I'd rather play it on an emulator, which I do.

star wars battlefront 1 and 2

my battlefront 2 is a little scratched (still works but freezes often or doesn't load maps) up so i may have to replace it, otherwise i have been waiting for battlefront 3 to quench my thirst

I have way more games than I'm willing to count that I'd like to keep.

The most recent is Dark Souls. There's literally nothing I would change about the game.

Gears trilogy.

That's how I treat all games, since I'm not a fan of trading in.

Max Payne and Crysis

Silent Hill 2 and Phantom Dust because I've had great times with both of them. I will die before I let those games leave me.

Ugh, I wish I could say this too but I don't have this game anymore and I sincerely regret accidently leaving it at someone's house to have them scratch it up to shit. I LOVE this game too!

Beatles Rock Band - the perfect game

Doom 3: Collectors Edition

There is no game I would decline a million dollars for. I could just take that million dollars and buy a new copy then laugh at the idiot who just spent a million dollars buying a dam video game.

I agree with @mosespippy Need For Speed: High Stakes

Edit: also Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict

This.

Freelancer

Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2

Bunch of others

Final Fantasy 3 (6) on snes!

If I had to pick ONE game, I'd have to go with Super Mario RPG. That game will always have a special place with me.

Edit: Wrong person, Mesklinite, my bad.

Mass Effect 2. I fucking LOVED this game made me fall in love with rpg's the characters and places you went to were incredibly thought out and intriguing.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I was quite confused for a minute there LOL

Socom: Confrontation

Ugh...after moving so many times, I don't have anything like that, game or otherwise.

I have a few...

Genesis

NHL 95

NBA Jam

Playstation

Resident Evil: Director's Cut

Metal Gear Solid

Final Fantasy VII

Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit

Playstation 2

Socom 2: US Navy Seals

I would have to say Legend of Dragoon and Banjo-Kazooie.

@JaredA: That and Ico are two of my favorite games ever, and I will never get rid of them, hell, I even have both the original copies of the games and the HD version and I still will never get rid of the original versions.

@YI_Orange:

"Post the game that you would keep forever, one that you will NEVER trade, sell, or throw away."

If it was a hyperbole, he was sure trying to say otherwise.

Kings Field. Had so much fun in that game.

Grim Fandango

Yeah, this game might be the one for me too. It also holds a very strong emotional resonance with me that very few games even came close to.

I would sell any game for $1 million.

• Darkwatch. I don't care how old it gets, that game is one of the absolute best shooters I've ever played. The special abilities were awesome, the weapons were awesome.. hell, the game was just overall awesome. I'll hold onto that as one of my all-time favorites.
• Morrowind. My introduction to the Elder Scrolls franchise, and Bethesda games as a whole. The gameplay still holds up for me and I think the graphics are just fine. The storyline is awesome, and it stays among the ranks of Darkwatch.
• Republic Commando. The story wasn't anything exceptional, but the characters were great. Gameplay was also good. It's one of my favorite star wars games, up there behind KOTOR I and II.

Pikmin

Devil May Cry 3

Metal Gear Solid 3, Uncharted 2, God of war 3, and super mario land 4.

Sniper Elite, Halo, Fary Cry 2, and The Orange Box.

Suikoden I-V

Breath of Fire III and IV

Chrono Cross

There's more but that's the main ones I can think of right now.

Playstation - FFIV and Legend of dragoon

PS2 - Demon Stone, all the GTA games for the system, persona 3 & 4 and champions of Norrath

PS3 - Demons souls, Dark souls, Neptunia, 3d dot game heroes

GB - all of the pokemon *Color* games, dragon warrior monster

I would go onto nintendo but lets just say anything with a mario, samus, or zelda in it I will always keep.

all of the games that i have. i keep every game that i have. i try not to trade in games that i don't want.

GC version of Resident Evil 4

Super Mario All Stars (SNES pack in version)

MGS series
