For me it's Talisman and Heroquest. I am getting closer to parting with them but stupid nostalgic memories stop from throwing them up for sale or trade.
How about you?

The game is total crap. It was created by a guy in his basement in the 1980s and its basically Risk in the Romans times with bad art work and components. I haven't played the game in over 15 years and I had a chance to trade it last year but I couldn't it brought back to many memories of hanging out with buddies 15 - 20 years ago drinking beer and playing Rise and Fall. There's even a big Natty Boh beer spill on my map.

Talisman + first two expansions
Gunslinger
Squad Leader + Crescendo of Doom + Cross of Iron
Up Front
Circus Maximus
Empires of the Middle Ages
Alexander the Great
Gladiator
Monsters of the Midway
All 1st ed. AD&D core hardcover books (including the rare Deities and Demigods with the Melnibonean and Newhon mythos gods)
I bet some of these would fetch a fair amount of money. They're worth far more to me as elements of nostalgia. I'm not giving them up.

1. old RPG books (D&D, shadowrun, and Alternity have too many good memories)
2. L5R CCG (I sold magic, I sold Raw Deal, but this one is giving me problems)
3. Fluxx, chez geek, and other crappy filler games I played in during titan battles back in the day.
4. Heroquest and BattleMasters. Both my sets are pristine and would fetch me something pretty good.
Honestly, the few things I've tossed or traded that had nostalgia value I have seriously regretted. I'm to the point where I don't get rid of anything if it has good memories attached.

Dragon Strike
Battle Masters
We played these games all the time growing up. They are all in great condition and I assume that I could sell them for quite a bit; however, I don't think I ever will -- too many memories.

Just for those talking about sale prices--ebay-wise, HQ is an easy $50 for the unexpanded base game and the most desired of the lot; the other 2, not so much. Battle Masters is $20-40 depending on phase of the moon (not even condition as unpunched sets can go for $20 while very-played sets hit $35+; just depends on how many want it--it's also a huge pain in the ass to ship); and Dragon Strike about half that at best (it's worth more to scavenge the parts out of it for other games like Runebound or Prophecy or some such).
(Yea, I'm one of those "look what I thrifted! geeklist tools, but those thrift pickups financed $5k in new [good--at least to me] games and another $3-4k in home repairs. ]

I'm struggling to avoid admitting this. I still have too much stuff, but I tell myself that I will only get rid of something when I can find a good home for it, somebody who will appreciate it more than I do now.
My AT stuff that I don't play anymore:
*Car Wars
*several CCGs, including L5R, Rage and Mythos
*Squad Leader
*Snapshot and Azhanti High Lightning.
*Viking Gods
*Undead
*The Vesuvius Incident -- this one is tough because the game is actually OOP and in-demand. But it also has a fantastic map and some innovative rules, and works great as either a solitaire game or a co-op game. Unfortunately the rules are so innovative that they are difficult to remember, and the rule book is very poorly organized. So Vesuvius continues to gather dust.

I'm really happy we held on to many of our favorites from when we were younger. When we first moved in together, we almost got rid of some stuff, but we were too lazy and just stuck it all into the attic. Now, every year as our daughter gets older, we bring down the ones she has "grown into." However, the Rocky and Bullwinkle game really requires that you are familiar with the show, so that one will probably live in the attic forever.

Every now and then I think about making a few changes so it would be a bit more 'sellable' to gamers in my groups, but the current killer (so many games to play these days) jumps in and I grab a another game that I love or that also hasn't hit the table for awhile. People say Warrior Knights is an improved and shorter version, but I think they are two very different games and I actually prefer the winning conditions in KM. It also plays up to seven, allows a player to come back after losing all their nobles (your faction just starts recruiting again), as mentioned random events, and lots of stomping around with armies lookiing for fights.
I've probably missed a lot as it's so bloody long since I played it.

I also have some Sim City the card game cards I bought back in the mid 90's, but I don't keep it for nostalgia's sake; I just can't seem to get around to selling anything.
I don't really like Return of the Heroes either, but I still keep it for some reason.

A lot of CCGs and RPGs I would still love to play if I had the time and opponents. Totally different from say, Battlemasters and Heroquest, which aren't that great and will never see play again but I keep for the memories.
