SO some haters been saying I'm a fakemadman. It's not cool, I'm everybit as much a big tymer collector as anyone else here. And I can prove it.
And so, I've decided to share my crown jewels with the rest of the world. I can guarentee that I am the only one on th3 forum with these rare items in my possession.
I'm not going to show them all off at once, as to do so might put me at higher risk of criminals and fraudsters who would stop at nothing to get their hands on my holy of holies.
I start with my one off Special Edition of Final Fantasy VIII which I got at Ingliston market in the late 1990's.
If you look closely, the disc's are a rare print which doesn't even say Playstation on them. But of course you already know you play them on the Playstation silly! Instead of disc 1, 2, 3 & 4 it says disc A, B, C, D. Amazing! But it's the back that really takes your breath away.
I know, SILVER BACKS! All other Playstation games are black, APART from these. It's finds like these which bring a tear to my eye as a collector. Sadly there is a very minor scratch on the back of disc B (you will barely notice it), but hopefully this will not hurt the value of my investment too much.
I can't find anything online suggesting why this copy of Final Fantasy VIII has silver backs. But I'll speculate that this version was made by Square to commerate the game going platnium in terms of sales value. But then a jealous Nintendo employee stole these dics since the Final Fantasy series which started on Nintendo was not being made for the N64. It ended up in Scotland for protection as the jealous Nintendo employee thought no one in Scotland had electricity, let alone a TV and a Playstation. Lucky for me he was wrong.
I'm afraid it's not for sale so please don't even ask. But I value the gaming community and know that a treat such as this shouldn't be kept to oneself. That is why I am proposing a fundraiser afterwhich I'll release the ISO's to the Internet. I think that is only fair to share the item but at the same time not undo the value of the investement. Once it reaches $5000, I'll release the ISOs.
I also have rare Megadrive, Mega CD, Gameboy items to show off. I also own a Lotus sports car, which I can show you but it's not really gaming related. Let me know which you'd like to see next and I'll see what I can do!
