My favorite games were specifically sought out and are in my game room.
Deliberately not in my game room are three "opportunity" buys:
1994 Baywatch in good shape (with oversized DMD working nicely) with unfaded but but dinged up cabinet.
1996 Barb Wire purchased in 1997 in excellent shape all around (I think it would be hard to find a better one).
1997 X-files purchased NIB in 1997 and home use only since (I still have the Sega shipping carton in my crawlspace).
Even though Barb Wire and X-files are in great shape, they would be the two of my games I like the least
