    Black Knight, bought in 1998. It was my first pin, and I bought it the year my only son was born.

    When my son was younger, he said we ought to sell it because he liked the newer games better. But around the age of 12 he decided that it had strong sentimental value for him, because he grew up with it. He's 17 now, and he'd be really upset if I sold it. Same with LOTR, but only because he has the GC on it.

    It's funny that the reason we all buy these special pins is rarely the reason we end up keeping them. I bought BK because I played it a lot on location. It was an all-night place we'd go to for breakfast after closing down the Burger King, usually around 2am. Playing BK while reeking of BK was a great memory for me, but that was just the lure. Once I had it for a few years I kept it because it was still fun to play, and the art is beautiful.
