You find yourself in a video game memorabilia shop. You won a contest for one free item (no reselling!), which item do you pick?

Gonna skew the results with that last option

Yeah I picked the last option. I mean I don't really care about having a signature or a mint copy of anything. So if I have to keep it, I'd rather have something that's amusing (and also less likely to get stolen).

The pack of ground meat they sent out for Bulletstorm

I want something signed by Ryan.

That's a very difficult one but I think I'd have to go with the signed Combat Evolved OST. I just love Halo too much.

I would take the Miyamoto, but would much prefer Link to the Past or Mario 3 than Ocarina

Too Human, because that game will never be legally available ever again and, more importantly, because Ryan Davis's John Hancock is right-fucking-there.

And here's another plus - I'm not actually interested in playing Too Human so there's no reason to do anything with it other than display it.

Never really had much experience with nintendo and zelda (just got my first ninty console, 3ds this year) and while i respect and appreciate what they did for the industry, I chose MGS signed by Kojima. I just love all the crazy and dumb stuff he comes up with. The copy of Too Human was also super tempting.

Tim Schafer is the only game dev on the list that I would consider myself a fan of, so points go to him.

Yep, he's the only person on that list who can no longer sign things.

other than the last option, DOOM for sure, although i'd really wish it to be signed by Carmack as well

@undefined: I was going to say whichever fetches the most, but I want that Ryan Davis signature.

Likewise. I was also far more invested in and entertained by his work for far longer than that any of the designers on the list, except maybe Sid Meier.

I was tempted by Too Human, but you came right outta the gate with the winner. I've got too much respect for Nintendo to not vote OoT.

If we're talking the original Civlization, I may take that, since that's the only entry in the series I don't have a copy of.

Second option would probably be Doom, followed by Pitfall and then Too Human.

Sealed Doom, but preferably signed by the whole dream team.

If we're going off-list, I think my holy grail would be a sealed copy of The Neverhood signed by Doug TenNapel and Terry Taylor. Hell, I'd take an unsigned sealed copy.

I have a copy of Deadly Premonition signed by both endurance run crews. It’s one of my most treasured possessions.

Add Dave Snider's signature to the Too Human box, then that will be my choice.

Ocarina for sure. Though I would take a free copy of an upcoming game I want before any of these. Not really a signatures guy.

Too Human. It's a real game.

Either MGS or Grim Fandango. Hard to say. Leaning slightly towards Grim.

But actually the last one.

I mean, that last option is a pretty clear winner.

But of the others, I think it'd have to be DOOM. MGS is my favorite series ever, but DOOM is DOOM man.

I don't care about collectables and signatures. I picked Grim Fandango since I already have an OoT gold cart.

Signatures don't mean Jack to me, id go with the Halo soutrack just to listen to it. Holy shit do I love the music in that game.

If I can't resell it, none of it really jumps out at me and having it signed and sealed. Metal Gear and Zelda would be awesome but I picked the bottom one just for the sheer silliness of that. Plus also Too Human IS the collectable!

DOOM would be more enticing if it was signed by the entire dev team! Great poll though, duder!

A tough call between Halo OST and a Fable. Both are games I remember very fondly, but I would prefer the audio because I don't collect any games.

@dudeglove: Yeah I find it very funny that he just randomly sells some stuff he has lying around on a semi-regular basis

How about a towel? See I don't want a signed copy of a game, I want something more interesting. Maybe, a signed system woudl be more in the ballpark. A mint PSX (PS one) signed by Ken Kutaragi would be neat. What would be really cool is to have a mint first generation 'fat' PS3 that has all the ports and slots...and have it signed "Riiidge Raaacerrrr" ~ Kazuo Hirai.

DOOM floppy.

I wouldn't really care about any of those, but I chose MGS by Kojima.

I've never understood the appeal of a signed thing where you aren't there for the autograph. To me the point is you had an interaction, however brief, with the person and the autograph is a memento of that.

But anyway I'd pick Too Human. That's the only game I can't play right now.

I would rather have something that wasn't a product signed by someone, rather an artifact from the development of the product like a part of the design doc from super mario 1.

I actually own a couple Halo soundtracks signed by Marty O'Donnell

The elusive Vice City coke mirror

A soundtrack to super mario world or super mario bros 3 would be cool

Halo soundtrack easily. It's the best video game soundtrack

I have never liked the idea of buying something signed, when I didn’t meet the person doing the signing. So I picked Too Human, because it’s funny.
