Sweet Jesus I never thought I'd see one with the box.

Who would pay any more than 5 bucks for an Atari game?Geez,it's 2010,now.X30 and PS3 has way better graphics.

When you get older you will understand it... memories have better graphics than any "new" ultimate version game.:trolleye:

For memories, anyone who like to have it and have the money.

You can have like, a brand new car for that.

I'm not sure if its in this case its memories or simply a completionist desire. The winner already had the game without box. By itself, he's selling the game for $5000. So really, its the BOX that he's paying about $25,000 grand for, a box he had never seen before.

Great link, thanks for sharing it... and yes, some people understand classic value, some don´t, I instead can´t see the appealing of this new era games, they are just better repaints of the same games from yesterday, nothing really new have surfaced since the 8-bit era.

Long live the 80´s.

When kids grow and get to 25 or more they will understand... in my time I liked "new" but then I discovered that almost nothing is really new...


Here is a link for NES lovers: http://www.1980-games.com/us/old-games/nintendo/nintendo-games.php

I seriously doubt anyone is buying this for the "memories" this is entirely about collecting. In the same way someone would spend thousands of dollars for a comic book or an action figure, people would spend thousands for a rare game. It's that simple.

Let me know what would you do if someone troll you the same way....

Too bad Barkie's a supermod, so you can't add him to your ignore list.

Actually, it's quite funny. You were pissed about 'normal users' doing the mod's job, but you want to ignore the moderator himself when he's doing his.

[Barkworm]

I'm not sure he knows what "trolling" actually means...

[Ulisses31]

Calling other people post ignorant is a Mod job? I don´t think so.

But hey, look who is here all of a sudden to take one on me?:tlol:

Get a life people... let me alone... go piss someone else, but do it in real life, were that someone can put a fist on your face... in the internet bulling is just ridicule. Grow up kids.

Question. Does the name 'Sonichu' mean anything to you?

[Ulisses31]

[...]confront his accusations in a calm and mature manner[...]

Yes calm and mature like that Mod was laughing about my opinion, like if they were in some way keepers of the truth, in real life they would not have the guts to do the same... but the internet is the best place for people do the kind of things that in the material world they would be cowards about.

Games evolved in Graphics, sound quality, playability, but not in originality...

Let me know about the game that is really a "new" idea.:trolleye:

Let me know about the game that is really a "new" idea.:trolleye:

I think it would be highly beneficial for you to educate yourself on the topic before you continue arguing. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but I really think you should look into things.

Gaming has grown in leaps and bounds as far as new or innovative ideas (not to mention the idea of games evolving with sound, graphics and playability is "new"), as much as I hate to admit it, the Wii is innovative.

The games made by companies like Bioware, wherein the idea that every decision you make has some consequence, or moral value, and it effects later story elements, or even later games in the series?

I'm sorry to tell you, but that didn't happen in Mario Bros, Donkey Kong or Pitfall.

Also....look into the concept and physics of working with and creating a story around a ****ing Portal Gun (ala PORTAL), then tell me you saw it on the Atari 2600.

[愛]

Now look who's acting like they are the keepers of the truth. Who's to say that Barkworm wouldn't say the same to you in a real life setting? Besides, calling an opinion ignorant isn't exactly threatening. I don't want to act like a "keeper of the truth," but I'm going to go ahead and say that you are a total coward in real life if you think everyone who talks big on the internet is a wuss outside of it.

[Ulisses31]

Wii, yes there you have a point, for Wii I have to learn more...:toops:

About Portal... is a new Doom... but with Portals instead of doors... IMO

Bioware makes RPGs, just that, with new effects yes, new engines yes, new ideas... no, just RPG. IMO

[NameGoesHere1066]

**singing** Can you feel the love tonight....

[The Stryker]

About Portal... is a new Doom... but with Portals instead of doors... IMO

How? Doom is all about killing monsters. There aren't any enemies in portal. First person perspective does not equal Doom.

I dont think you comprehend the weight of games like Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

Final Fantasy games are RPGs...Rarely do decisions you make early in the game so heavily effect the outcome of the story. Let alone affect how the sequels play out.

It may be naivete but I'm not really away of another game series that can end with a dead main character, end with a dead main (the one you play) and have it be the still middle part of a trilogy.

Well I can be mixing things, but they fell in the category of RPG, also, just a different script... different story same kind of game...

Doom can be considered a new perspective to platform games, just a 3rd dimension, and puf Mario have a gun and is jumping and killing monsters.

For technique was new for idea was old, platforms all the way...

How? Doom is all about killing monsters. There aren't any enemies in portal. First person perspective does not equal Doom.

One thing is the plot, other is the script... same plot different script.

Now I will give my kids the dinner, I will be back tomorrow, then I reply more.
Good night.

[The Stryker]

Doom is about demons on mars. Portal is about a woman going through various tests created by an evil computer lady. AGH.

You're hurting my brain. Stick to talking about seeing asses in bread.

[Brodie]

Uhm....The plot of DOOM is opening a gate to hell through another planet. Hell. Demons.


Portal is about a lab rat, who gets a portal gun...and goes through them to solve puzzles. The story involves nothing with hell. Yes she opens gates....but within the confines of the same room! Its about running through tests run by a self aware computer....

Those don't sound similar.

Also "script"?

The script for Portal is actually pretty humorous....the script of DOOM (however little script exists) is not funny. Nor is it as well written. And I love Doom. But...Not the same. Not the same.

[Candy Kappa]

the game industry have come a long way since the 8 bit era, like the portal gun, you have gravity gun, physics in general.
And mentioned the Wii is awesome.
graphics, story, sound and music, gameplay, It all have evolved.
I am not a huge FPS gamer, but a lot of things have been developed, just look what you can create with the engines that you get with the games, originality blooms more today then it ever had in the 8bit era ever could dream off

And Portal is not a Doom ripp-off it is a very unique and original game.

I disagree a lot with your statement

and we have created a extra dimension since the 8bit era, a fine invention now used in most modern games

Its not about the graphics. Graphics don't make a game. 2600 games just suck period.

Rolling back on topic (really... wtf guys?), has anybody actually played Air Raid before? I had tried the ROM at one point, years ago. It's essentially a hacked version of Vidtec's Space Jockey, which was a crappy game to begin with (I thought it sucked even in the '80's).

It seems to me as if a majority of the rarest games are either A) Notoriously terrible, B) amazingly scarce versions of common games, or C) both.
