Can't believe old video games got so expensive, wow. Really, only collectors would spend so much money in that

(However, wouldn't this fit better in the Gaming forum?)

mm I think that I put here because this is a very interesting info

And yes, in ebay there is a game called "Stadium Events" with his family fun fitness after called "Power Pad" by Nintendo it costs 2900 or 3000 dollars xD

mm I think the most valuable is the nintendo world championships: grey edition (nes)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1990_Nintendo_World_Championships_Gray.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1990_Nintendo_World_Championships_Gold.jpg

Cartridge [READ THIS!!, is the diference between the grey and the gold one]

For the competition, 116 special game cartridges were manufactured. 90 of these copies exist as the official gray cartridge and were given out to City Finalists after the 1990 NWC concluded. Each gray cartridge has a unique number making the cartridge easier to track and extremely difficult to counterfeit. The circuit boards in the gray and gold cartridges are identical. Since the gold cartridges have no unique identification numbers, it is extremely difficult to track their origin. The other 26 are gold—like the The Legend of Zelda cartridge—and were given out as prizes in a separate contest held by Nintendo Power magazine.

Both versions of the cartridge feature DIP switches on the front, which may be used to alter the time limit. To play the cartridge, one must have a controller connected to both controller ports and press start on the second player's controller. For the competition, there was a special switch that would start all cartridges simultaneously.


Collectable Value

The Nintendo World Championships 1990 game cartridge is considered to be the rarest and most valuable NES cartridge released, promo cartridges aside. The NWC Gold cartridge is often compared to "holy grail" items from other collectible hobbies, such as the T206 Honus Wagner baseball card, or the Action Comics #1 comic book, and the gold variation has in fact been nicknamed "the holy grail of gaming" or "the holy grail of video game collecting". The circuit boards for the gold and gray cartridges are identical. The gold cartridges have no numbers and are almost impossible to track their origin like their gray counterparts. The gold casing holding is the same from The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

On 9/16/2009, a gray cartridge was sold at a garage sale at 76th and Emerson Street in Minneapolis for $2,000 cash, but gray cartridges are often bought from champions for between $5,000 and $6,000.

In 1998, Mike Iaroosi sold his gray cartridge to a collector for $1,600. It was later sold in 2007 by the collector for $10,000 in a private sale.

On March 18, 2007 a listing appeared on Myebid.com in which a gold cartridge appeared to have been inadvertently included in a bereavement sale of 24 NES games; according to the auction, a father was selling the possessions of his deceased son. The auction ended at $21,400, though collectors have speculated that neither the listing nor the bids were legitimate.

To date, of the 26 NWC gold cartridges produced, only 12 copies have ever surfaced. In 2008, a gold cartridge went for $15,000, and the next copy to surface sold in June 2009 for $17,500. Most recently, in December 2009, JJGames presented a copy on eBay as part of a charity auction for World Vision; the auction ended with a winning bid of $13,600. The high bidder failed to pay and the cartridge sold privately for $18,000.

In February 2010, video game collector/reviewer Pat the NES Punk discovered and acquired a gray cart in the San Diego area for an undisclosed amount.

wow you are lucky

here's some info about the game:

Air Raid: $1100 – $3305
Rarity = 5 stars
This game was apparently the only release by MenAvision. The cartridge is blue, with a t-shaped handle on the end. Gameplay centers around the player attempting to protect a city by shooting down flying saucers, airplanes, and other kinds of enemies which are trying to bomb said city. To do this, the player must fly around in their own aircraft, launching missiles at enemy ships. Waves are continuous, though scores are tabulated so players can compete against themselves.

There are said to be only twelve official copies of this game remaining in the entire world. And for the record, that $3305 was paid in 2004 for the cartridge only. In June of 2009, it was listed on eBay for just under $5,000, but did not find a bidder at that price.

The cart handle is intriguing. It's really that hard to pull out the carts on a Atari 2600?

5. Kizuna Encounter (PAL Neo Geo)


A worker at a Christian youth group once took in his Neo Geo to show people the stuff he grew up on (this was a group open at lunch times where people used to go to just to hang out, play xbox, ps3, wii/gamecube and pool/snooker) and I vaguely remember him showing me that game saying it was games like that that made him enjoy gaming today, especially the street fighter series. It would be interesting to know if he actually has the game still or even know about it's value.
