Not games you want to get another copy of, cuz you miss the one you sold, but what exact game that you let go do you want back? For me, it is my first Donkey Kong and my Sys I/ Marble Madness. I am gonna be restoring another DK, and I am afraid that it will never turn out as nice as the first one I had restored. As for MM, mine was so much work to get right, I'll probably never want to restore another.

NBA Jam and TMNT

Both went to pasture because measurements didnt add up to allow me to get into basement. Now i know i can fit most all UR into basement, im sad i let those go because i enjoyed them!
 
For me, its probably my PC-10. Not cause I like the system (cause I have a NES, and a bunch of VC games on my Wii), but because it was the nicest original example of a game I have ever owned. The counter only had 1000 on it, the sticks were still tight, there was not much damage anywhere, it had full side art, and the monitor was beautiful. I let it go for pretty cheap, too.

Wouldnt mind having that one back.
 
I had a Simpons four player that I wished I'd restored. The CPO was actually pretty good and the monitor was pristine. I'm pretty sure if I'd just taken the paint off the sides I'd find some decent side art. But now I'll never know....
 
Our multi-Tempest and multi-Sega vector games are two that stand out. They were some of the first games I worked on to get going and I kick myself whenever I think about how I sold 'em.

kick... kick... kick...

That PC-10 was beautiful. You should have kept it!

Me? I only have sold two games... my Popeye cocktail and Toobin'. I don't miss these. :)
 
dedicated Star Trek SOS. I tried to buy it back but the dude won't even respond (imagine that!)

I miss my Major Havoc and Black Widow too and I just sold those. Oh, and Boothill.
 
Every couple of months I get the urge to contact the guy who I traded my Tutankham to. As far as I know he still has it, but there is just no room for it at my house...
 
I guess the only one I really miss is the Red Baron UR. I just didn't have the room for it. I think the guy who bought it would be as ready to part with it as he is to make a new batch of ZZPUs. :D
 
Got caught up in the moment

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I was selling a Defender and the guy was really into games, so I let it go as well. Gave the guy a great deal, and now wish I still had it since it was my only Sys 1 game. I can still hear - kailibah rule the world!
 
No that's not it. I'm guessing mine is in MA somewhere. I saw the one on CL and if the wife would not have put her little foot down after the Berzerk I would have been on my way to get that one.
 
My track and field. At the time i sold it there was no monitor(wife smashed it....Long story I posted about that 4 years back or so) I miss it.
 
My immaculate Punch-Out!! (which also had Super Punch-Out!! boards and a restored Super Punch-Out!! CP) and the first machine I ever owned: a super-clean Demolition Derby UR.

There was no way I could keep either machine given the circumstances. Bummer.
 
Where do I even start ?

The Red Baron and pretty near mint Food Fight I sold to Dave Bondavi.
The SUPER clean Burgertime I sold, my friend had bought it new back in the day, pretty sure it was the same one Drewster had at one time.
The super clean Dig Dug I sold back to Mike S.
The Star Wars Cockpit with 25" amp I sold to Frank
The Boot Hill I sold to Tom Cloud

"sigh"
