I've just received all 10 "Playstation Festival 2000" demo-discs including Gran Turismo 2000 and all of them are still sealed.
:love:

GT2000? was it playable?

[Ly-Colizer]

Here are the rest of the gamebox artwork i have, just did some pics of them so i can post them here :icon_bigg

[Borman]

GT2000 should be playable, was on the net a few years ago, and some other people here have it :)

[NUONgamer]

GT2000? was it playable?

Yeah, it is playable alright but there is a time-limit of about 2 minutes.
As mine is sealed I don't know precisely and I want to keep it that way.

I've got a few PlayStation dev kits in their original boxes, but the rarest items I have would be:

- "Coke" PSP and golf game from a Japanese competition (not sure how many of these there were, around 1000 I think)
- 10 million edition PlayStation (new in box - one of only 100)
- Australian F1 Grand Prix limited edition PS3 (only 200 made)
- A "missing issue" limited edition T-Shirt from Future Publishing (one of only 263 to "celebrate" their failure to print enough copies of an issue of EDGE to fulfill their subscribers orders back in around 2003 or so).

Not really super rare, but mine is a Commadore 3000H I guess. I am on the look out for rare stuff tho..

[Haruglory]

Nothing especially rare, except a french copy of MGS 2 Substance on PS2 which have not been much printed and is especially looked after by fans (generally cost at least 70€)

[anagrama]

No proto/dev stuff, but the picks of my collection hardware-wise are probably an SF-7000 unit and a Samsung Gam*Boy.
Software-wise, it's SMS Mah-Jong & Smurfs 2, with one of the educational SC-3000 carts, the PAL SC-3000 Music cart and the OMV Guzzler not too far behind. Oh, and the blue-box PAL MD World Championship Soccer II aswell.

SEGA Teradrive (middle-priced version with 2 floppy drives and no hdd) with matching SEGA monitor. But I'm not particulary happy about owning it, would gladly pass it on.

And i would gladly take it!!:dance:

[JackAz!]

Probably one of those weird slot 1 to socket 370 converters.

Those are rare?
We've got a whole bunch of 'em at work.


I don't own anything too rare I don't think.
I'd have to check.

[The-Silmarillion]

Hmmmm, not too sure if I own anything "rare", certainly nothing that would fetch a hefty sum on eBay.. perhaps "scarce" would be more appropriate, take a look (pics aren't mine I'm afraid!):

Steel Battalion (Xbox)


Hori Pad (Gamecube)


Tristar Adaptor (SNES, also known as a "Super 8")


F-Zero X: Expansion Kit (64DD)


Also, this thread led me to believe I have a demo cartridge of "The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons" but I'm not too sure..

[opethfan]

I have a 32x. Need I say more?

[GarethDE]

Not very rare as such, though probably rare in the mint condition that they are:

Saturn: Radiant Silvergun, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dead or Alive Special Edition, Atlantis, Burning Rangers, Sonic Jam.

Dreamcast: Last Hope, Ikaruga, Border Down, Bangai O, Mars Matrix, Psyvariar 2, Chaos Field, Zero Gunner 2

Lynx: Prototype catrtridge of Alien Vs. Predator

Tristar Adaptor (SNES, also known as a "Super 8")

is that one of those NES/FC adapters?
whats the going rate for one of those (if it is what i think it is) and do they work well?

[The-Silmarillion]

It is NES/FC adaptor yes, mine just arrived in the mail today and my lazy self hasn't actually tried it yet.

From Wiki:

he Super 8 utilized an NES-on-a-chip (NOAC) integrated circuit to duplicate the functionality of the original NES hardware, and connected to the SNES's own cartridge port. The device itself featured three cartridge ports. Two of these ports connected to the onboard NOAC, and were designed to fit NES and Famicom cartridges, respectively: despite otherwise featuring the exact same hardware, North American and European NES game cartridges used a 72-pin design, resulting in slightly larger cartridges than the Famicom, which used a 60-pin design. The third port was designed to fit standard SNES cartridges, and merely connected with the SNES's native hardware, so that the user would not have to remove the Super 8 in order to play SNES games. However some issues would occasionally arise, for example it was annoyingly common for some games to not function correctly, for example the compilation cartridge "Super Mario All-Stars + World" has many occasions in which the screen rolls, making gameplay nigh on impossible. A similar idea was later employed for the Tristar 64, an accessory for the Nintendo 64 console with the ability to play both NES and SNES cartridges.
The Super 8 also plays Super Famicom games, as there are no tabs to block the insertion of the flat back cartridges; however, European model SNES users were still only able to play European SNES games, the Super 8 does not act as a SNES converter in any way. The European model is, however, effectively a multi-region NES, and will play most NES/Famicom games regardless of what territory they were intended for.

I purchased mine from eBay (.co.uk) recently for £40, as I'd read about the Tristar years ago but had never actually seen one for sale anywhere until now.
