    Mainly hardware, would love to get a 3DO M2 apple mac dev computer, did see one on ebay a few years ago and always wanted to be able to buy it but ultimatly couldn't and still couldn't not for a good few years even if i saw one again

    Also would love to get one of those 200 or so SNES Playstations that were made by sony if there is any in the world and they weren't all destroyed. Also any 3do stuff including dev items or just anything rare would be nice.

    Thas about all my grails

    I would love to have a build of PS2 Ketsui. I wonder if any (how many) exist on disk?

    Probably not many. It was never sent out to magazines, Ikeda (afaik) only mentionened that a PS2-version that was being developped ran unsatisfying so they canceled it - I doubt that there is anything beyond CAVEs offices.

    My currently Hold Grail would be an ORCA HW1_DRIP prototype GC dev system. As far as I can tell they were internal to Nintendo and possibly to Factor 5. 400mhz CPU, with 4MB of 40mhz RAM. I don't think any of these would be in the wild though.

    I think this is what you're talking about and I agree, it's pretty damn nice looking. Would definitely fit in a lot better with a home theater setup than the current PS3.

    Nevermind, I just found out this was a PS2+DVR box....still looks nice :p

    For me it would be the proto version of chibi robo where it was a point & click game before it was remade into the version we have today.

    I have 2 perfectly working kidneys for anyone who has this disk.

    I might be able to obtain more than two kidneys for such a disc as well... as not as there are no questions about where I get the kidneys ;)

    Seriously though that is interesting, I didn't know it was originally a point-and-click! Learn something new every day :)

    Super Famicom Game Processor System. Doesn't get much more exclusive than that. I'd SO sell my kidneys for one of these!

    My holy grails would be the SuperGrafx Power Console, followed by Hi-Ten Bomberman.

    Another 'want' that is up there on the list is the Power Shovel controller. I have never seen it for sale, although I missed the chance of getting one when my friend went to Japan.

    In comparison to the Power Console, this one is quite easy to find ^_^

    You may ask one of our members that live in Japan to get it for you, or contact a proxy bidder service.
