$17,500 On A Video Game

i still remember my brother playing at the Nintendo Powerfest at the Javits Center...maybe he would've done better if he had a Power Glove :p

I wipe my ass with $17500......and then then give it to the IRS

sometimes i wonder if there are nerds making reproductions of this particular game, i could do this myself and i'm not really that skilled so i know there must be many people that are easily capable of recreating these so called rare games who could even tell the difference really.

Wow, that's the most expensive game I have ever seen

$16,000 is nothing to some people.

That's cool.

The gold cartridge is considered the penultimate game collectible, Like a Honus Wagner baseball card or an Altair personal computer.

Wow. I have the original John Madden Football for the Apple IIe, on the old 5 1/4" floppy disk, with the original box and both the offensive and defensive playbooks intact. I don't know if it works anymore; I have no way of testing it (who's got a 5 1/4" floppy drive these days!?); but I wonder what it's worth?

I even have the slip to mail off and order the NFLPA disk to get the actual players names for the '87 and '88 seasons, playbooks for specific teams, etc... I remember Joe Montana was called "Joe Idaho", the '85 Bears were called "The Blitzers", etc... Workarounds for the pre-licensing days, I guess.

I wish I had some way of finding out if this thing worked...

i should have sold all my old games instead of giving them away...

This is a common occurrence. Odd considering that the game has had its rom dumped and only lasts 6mins, but I suppose the allure is similar to that of a classic car, old hockey card or a rare painting.... Something rare commands a high value.

I aint socialist, but some people need to pay more taxes............

Holy shit thats a waste of money..
no wonder our economy is bad

i need to write that fellow and tell him i have a copy of super mario bros. 3 that fred savage rubbed on his balls.

I have to go through some of my old cartridges

Really? $18K for a game that lasts 6 mins?
