Holy fu*king sh*t.

I had never even heard of said cart until I read this, as I'm sure most people never have. I like to see all the replies on there with people pretending to know what it is. That kind of stuff makes me laugh.

[jeff the cheff]

OMG I WISH I HAD THAT ITS SOO AWESOME!!!

OK, I don't really know what that is

[Spitfire]

Wow that's nuts. What people will pay just to say they have something.

I mean honestly what's the point of having something like that other then to say "I have this" Doubtful the guy will play it.

I don't know for me I only buy stuff I intend to enjoy and keep. I don't buy stuff so I can sell it later or keep it stashed away in some box somewhere just to say it's in my collection.

Like recently I just bought all the Mirage TMNT volume 1 comics. Do I keep them stashed away? Hell no I busted them open and I'm reading them.

That's just me though everyone's different. I'll just never understand the pull of owning something that expensive that your afraid to even play. My Dad wanted to buy a guitar that was played by Yngwie. But he said "I don't want to spend all this money on this guitar and then not even be able to enjoy playing it for fear of messing it up. It'll just end up sitting in a corner of my house collecting dust"

ever since I saw the carts in nintendo power in the 90's I always wanted one.

I played it in rom form once it was fun..

Actually I'm fairly positive those were talked about in Nintendo Power years ago

[愛]

I've heard of it, but I've definitely never played it. I don't care.

[GK Punk]

Im still not really sure why it's worth so much

[Spitfire]

Make a video game package one of the games with a T-shirt that was made just for the game but only one was produced. Make it so it can be won in a contest and there you go.

If it's years later and it's popular*Like Mario and Tetris* fans will go ape **** and pay stupid prices for it.

It's like when obsessed fans pay for celeb's yern samples.

I've always thought the same of super-expensive sports cars. What's the point of having a vehicle you're too scared to drive?

[Roseangelo]

I don't get why the guy sold his games on an eBay clone site... he might have gotten more if he had done it on eBay.

Although I can't say I've heard of this game, myself.

[LogicDonny]

guess you people who never heard of it, I guess maybe you are just casual video game players?

Hardcore nintendo fans who grew up in the 80's and 90's with nintendo would know what it is.. I for one have dreamed of it!

I agree with you there, but atleast with a car you can pick up chicks. A video game cart isn't going to get you any chicks haha

no but it will make you a hardcore video game nerd..

chicks dig guys with great cars and money..

I was just about to post and give a description and history about what that cart really is, but after that post I'm going to hold my tounge for a while, because I want you to tell me what it is.

I'm calling you out. If you're so hardcore, tell me what it is.

[GK Punk]

Yeah Id like to hear this to, Logic.

[Spitfire]

Hell I'm not even hardcore and I know what it is, all I had to do was type the cart name into google and I read the whole story.

[Dinny]

chicks dig guys with great cars and money..

But please, Logic, before you tell us all about your knowledge of the game, tell us everything you know about this.

[Barkworm]

Haha, hilarious stuff!!

Investment. I'm making extra money right now on my stuff that was collecting dust. Though $21,000..how much more would anyone pay for it?

[OA]

Man, thats pretty cool. Never heard of the game before but the auction is itself is a great story. Can you imagine the guys face as the lot raced paced $1000 all the way up? And yea, if it had been on ebay and with the game in the title, that price probably woulda skyrocketed, maybe even 6 figures...

[Peanut]

I'm sooooooo glad LogicDonny is back.

[Brodie]

I'm really interested in Chad Warden's description of this game.

And by that I mean Logic.

[愛]

Chad Warden is my role model.

[Cure]

You guys are too funny.

[Ra]

Chad Warden is my role model.
Chad Warden is everyone's role model, ya know? :P

ok the cart is called Nintendo world championship 1990, only 116 carts exist in the world.. a dozen were gold.. basically the carts contains 3 games Super mario bros rad racer and Tetris you had a time limit of close to 7 minutes.

Each of the 3 games has an objective.

Anyways about my quote with chicks dig money and cars.. cars go fast they look great and can attract girls.. money is pretty simple.. girls love fancy things they like to shop, etc.. buy buy buy..

also, thank you for the kind welcome.

As I always say, never underestimate stupidity. I mean wow, I wish I had an extra $21k to spend lying around. I have never heard of this game before though.

[Jester]

Ok, what's the game like? Anyone know what's actually on the cart?

[LogicDonny]

the championship cart is a regular nes cart with 3 games .. super mario bros , rad racer and tetris.

ballin

[ThirdMarioBro]

Think "The Wizard".

[Ninjinister]

I only know of one person that has confirmed to own one of those cartridges; Jason Wilson of Tips & Tricks magazine.

[Sunshine]

I love games and having a super rare game like that would be awesome... but I couldn't see paying 21k for it.

exactly but if you were a rich hardcore gamer, you would.

I don't even know if there a gamer out there who owns every single piece of game from every video game system known to gamers or to humanity.

Imagine there was a house and in a room stacked millions of games from all range of systems.

I seen some pics of hardcore gamers with many many games that was just so amazing to look at.
