Wow, the comment section is brimming with goons. I figured you'd at least (sorta) get a different audience with FM Towns games other than the usual YouTubers. WHAT IS HUMOR?

[BIL]

LMAO @ 0:58. Great voiceover. You masher!

edit: actually, I'm pretty sure that vid gave sealed collectors a collective guilty chubby.

[Krooze L-Roy]

Not a collector of them, but I've got a few sealed games, simply because my eyes were bigger than my thumbs.

I find them annoying, because years later, when you finally do want to give them a go, you find yourself thinking "I should sell this on ebay, buy a used one, and pocket the difference." The end result is almost always this: do nothing, because ebaying takes too much work. So a game I own, and want to play, which was purchased precisely for that purpose, ends up not being played, because I didn't play it fast enough. Life is so very hard...

[RealPlumpBox]

Its funny, I was just talking with people on another board about sealed games. I have good amount but its not for collecting reasons. In my mind I bought them thinking yeah ill play this, but my backlog is waaaay to big to even bother with the sealed ones. One day I will get to them but untill I am ready to play them I see no need on opening them now.

Here they are. Like I said nothing rare or special just shit I never got around to.

I had originally made this for a few friends.. I do not support seal game collecting...

just shit I never got around to

I think most people have 'that' pile. Mine is mostly records and dvds though. I tend to open my games straight away just to look at the manuals.

[Pretas]

I have sealed copies of Sin & Punishment 2 and Muchi Pork + Pink Sweets because my original copies were damaged. I've left them sealed because the originals still work, for the time being.

The former was chewed up by a Wii disc drive in its death throes, the latter was damaged in shipping and I couldn't get the seller to replace or refund it.

Dat new manual smell tho!

You know it

[Octopod]

I don't have a youtube but I recently opened a sealed NES Astyanax and I'll be opening a Kabuki Quantum Fighter soon. Might go back to the shop and grab a sealed Star Tropics for $50. Doesn't the game come with a letter that usually isn't included in CiB auctions? I open $60 dollar games frequently so I don't see the big deal in opening a game that cost even less.

[Skykid]

YO bitches!

Liking the fact the uprising continues, good to see these contributions.

However I haven't got the time on my hands to keep downloading and uploading your edited vids to the stream, much as I'd like to. So I'm hereby offering anyone who wants to take up the mantle the keys to the Anti Sealed Game Movement.

Send me a PM if you're interested and I'll provide you with all the passwords you need to take it over.

No idea how much a PS3 Ketsui signed by WR holder SPS would be worth, but Eaglet devalued it for teh lolz anyway.

I cracked open new/sealed copies of Giga Wing Generations and Sega 3D Ages: After Burner II on the PS2 a few nights ago.

I have a sealed US copy of Psychic Force 2012 on the Dreamcast I will likely be opening soon. Just doing my part to keep the crusade alive.

The only benefit of factory sealed games is the satisfaction of watching some shmuck throw his $ down on a piece of cellophane.

Super protip: there's no particular way to "really piss off" a sealed game nut with your cellophane-defiling antics. You could unseal a Hyper Duel or Sylphia with your hands, with a barracuda spine, or with an articulated robot hand that's controlled by stirring one's erect shaft in a steaming bowl of alphabet soup. The end result's all the same. It's all defilement baby!

NB the suggestions of unsealing and then deliberately damaging stuff can fuck right off up its own collective tailpipe. Then again, I suspect some people would have trouble eating a fucking cheeseburger without ruining their upholstery, or a bag of cheetos without carpetbombing their shirt in a fine mist of orange dust - let alone managing the herculean trial of removing a disc from a jewel case without dinging everything to hell and back. Nerds!

[trap15]

Recorded me unsealing the CD included with my WonderWitch Player the other day. I'll upload it on some rainy day I suppose. Always fun to unseal a CD in a kit that cost a couple hundo

[SuperGrafx]

I've been steadily buying sealed PC Engine games over the last few months.
First thing is, I'm very surprised that there's such a readily available supply of unopened games from that late 80's and early 90's. Two, I think it's cool to archive and preserve these obscure titles. We'll likely never again have an era of gaming that was so special, so I'm trying to do my part to maintain and preserve a small part of this momentous era.

Wonderful news. Thanks for your archival efforts, gaming owes you a debt of gratitude.

[cicada88]

Lol at archiving mass produced jewel cases

Do your part by playing them and letting people know how great they are. Don't be a slob and take care of them. Preservation maintained! And hey, you actually get to play them!

But honestly, there's a ton of sealed PCE shit because a lot of it is... shit. Mass produced in the homeland there's a wealth of visual novel titles, sports games, mediocre RPGs, etc. that had high manufacture rates and low sales. Not really that uncommon. A few years back even there was still loads of sealed copies of Exile, Lords of Thunder, and other great US titles even surfacing on eBay that just didn't sell well at release. Wait for ol' PCE-FX! to arrive and he'll tell you all about cheap ass copies of Turbo games rotting on the shelves at Toys R' Us.

I think I've chimed in here and there on the issue, but to me, buying a sealed game is ensuring that (provided it hasn't been re-sealed by some clown, lol) the condition of the contents are the same as when they left the factory. No need to rely on people's subjective assessments of the condition of their "MINT!!!!111" used game. Just buy it and open it yourself.

I lol hard when I see auctions with "MINT" games where in the photo, they've laid the CD face down on the floor Not any more, sir. Not any more.

[Pretas]

PCE-CD games are old enough that many are succumbing to disc rot at this point. Even if they've remained sealed.

[drauch]

Mmmmm, I don't know if that is entirely true. Disc rot is highly relevant to some Laserdiscs, but that's due to poor manufacturing. If you're the type that stores in direct light and refuse to run the air conditioner until it's in the 80s, then maybe. Not saying it can't happen, but I wouldn't say "many" at this point.

Amazing FACTZ estebang, never fail to enlighten.

Do you have a source for this mass decaying PC Engine disc rot drama perchance?
