[saiyan_monkey]

A mom in North Carolina listed an NES and five carts on eBay last week (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370330327400) for $9.99. Final winning bid: $13,105. One of the games in the lot happened to be the ultra-rare Stadium Events, in its original box.

Saw that on Yahoo! and started laughing. Rare games turn up in the strangest places.

Was Stadium Events the Power Pad game? Or was that something else?

I hadn't seen it here so I thought I'd add it for people that haven't seen it. I found it more shocking then funny.

Ahh they're just protecting a geek with a lie. Dude didn't pay that much money for the stadium joint, he just wanted to make a donation to the TMNT arcade game. Duh. We fans put that money up quick outta love.

I think it was Track and Field, but I'm not too sure.

This buyer only wants that one game, they probably have the others, if they were going to re-sell the other games, I wonder what they would charge? hahah I could use a Turtles Arcade with a better box then mine! hahah

Stadium Events was recalled and re-released as World Class Track Meet, which indeed was the game bundled with the Power Pad. Stadium Events used the Family Fun Fitness Mat. It's really the same damn thing, just Nintendo had purchased the rights from Bandai and re-branded it.
