Quoted from radial_head:Honestly, I think most games I consider my "grail games" are games that combine rarity with a cool art package. Not an EM, but Gottlieb's Spirit is another game that is on my grail list. Never played it. Doesn't look like that good playing of a game. But holy hell if it isn't rare and have the coolest art package of all time. There are a lot of games that are high on my want list (King of Diamonds, Atlantis, Abra Ca Dabra) but I feel like "grail games" needs an added rarity.
I have collected many things. In fact, my wife says i "collect collections." I can tell you that the mystique of the rare is very appealing to some in any collectible. Just saying that they owned it and can show it off is important to them. Some people have the have the rarest, the best, etc. People love attaching themselves to the 'unobtainable.'
Having said that, i feel that a grail should be something you love, but not easily attainable. Rare isnt a concern of mine, but if it were not difficult to get...i would already have it.
My grail pin is The Big Lebowski. I have played it quite a few times and it is amazing. It is also rare and quite expensive...to the point of which i will likely never own one.
Since we are in the EM hangout, I would say that my EM grail is a gottlieb knockout. Also a very good game, but quite tough to find...especially in any decent kind of condition.
