The Anti-Hype: What is the least valuable game you own?

[Samurai Ghost]

If sports games are out then we have to do away with majong games as well. I actually like playing sports games with friends but majong...

Probably some PS1 titles. Like, Tomorrow Never Dies or Italian Job or something. Surely can't be worth much or sought after.

I know they made a lot of copies of The Italian Job, and I know that nobody wanted them because the focus had been on the PS2 for something like two years when it was released, but in all honesty its really a very good game for fans of the movie, which I happen to be.

I would guess there are at least 300 games on PS1 in the US alone that are less valuable than The Italian Job.

I was in Game Dude a couple weeks ago buying a couple things when some guy walked in with a huge box of PS1 games. Must have been at least 60 or 70 games. Asked the guy at the counter how much he could get for them and the reply was 'nothing'. Almost followed the guy to the parking lot and offered him $20 the lot but I have too many games as it is.

Huh. I guess I should give it a go sometime, then. Haven't actually played it - got it when my cousin gave me his PS1.

Maybe after I'd seen the movie...only seen the modern one.

Jeeez, I know I wouldn't been able to resist that.

Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt for NES.  I got probably close to 30 of them, most of them free.  I use them to prop uneven table, raise TV, and coasters.

The only non game stuff I have more of (and worth even less than free) are the AOL CDs.

[Samurai Ghost]

Whats weird is how Mario/Duck Hunt is such a worthless common cart in the US yet is usually pretty expensive in Japan. You're lucky to find one under $5, and it's usually more if you go to a used game shops. Boxed ones are even more obviously.

[SignOfZeta]

Well, there wasn't a FC pack-in version of the game, and it wasn't a launch title in Japan, so naturally this would be the case.

[Samurai Ghost]

Yeah that makes sense, as well as it's popularity.

But at least there are enough worthless Famicom carts to make a throne out of them:

That's pretty cool. It's like the Famicom of legos.

Excluding all of my worthless sports games, I have a few that could basically be considered "worthless".  Space Invaders for the 2600 or Super Pitfall for the NES, for example.  I'd be hard-pressed to get a dollar for either.  Space Invaders, on top of being fun, is noteworthy because it's the game that really popularized the 2600.  Super Pitfall is noteworthy to me because it was one of the few games that I had for the NES as a kid, I bought it purely due to name recognition, and I played it even though it was and still is god-awful.

I have piles of Intellivision and Atari 2600 games.

I have a broken copy of Baseball Stars for the NES.  For some reason I refuse to get rid of this game, even though it just doesn't work.  This is my only cartridge game that is completely broken.

Oddly enough, once every few months I decide to play NES Baseball Stars.  It has become tradition that I try to get the broken game to work for 5 minutes and fail, then I put in my working copy.

I don't know why I can't bring myself to get rid of it, because my broken copy of Baseball Stars NES is worthless.

[Samurai Ghost]

I've got a copy of Bonk 2 like that, but I guess I could make a keychain out of it.

You should make a giant keychain out of Baseball Stars, lock your bathrooms with a key, and then hand visitors the giant Baseball Stars keychain so they don't steal the bathroom key like in a convenience store!

That's awesome. Sounds like something I would do.
