Is this some sort of record?

Ninjinister 04-11-2010 01:42 AM

Holy ****.

Air Raid.


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

Powder 04-11-2010 01:49 AM

It was me- I want your entire art collection as a trade.


Just kidding, obviously.


Thats unbelievable right there.

Jesus mother Mary. Who in their right mind would pay that much for a crappy 2600 game?

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

Sewer Bull 04-12-2010 06:01 AM

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

OA 04-12-2010 07:37 AM

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.

Candy Kappa 04-12-2010 08:53 AM

if it's the rarest game for 2600, I guess someone will walk over bodies to get

Ulisses31 04-12-2010 09:26 AM

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-gam...endo-games.php

Peanut 04-12-2010 11:25 AM

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.

There's nothing to explain. You're entitled to your opinion but your post was ignorant.

You really seem to dislike confrontation because anyone who disagrees with you is blocked. I sometimes wonder how your personal life goes...

Ulisses31 04-12-2010 01:14 PM

I have no problems with discussing my point, only with confrontations just to troll me... like calling my posts ignorants... that is really rude:tmad:

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 04-12-2010 01:45 PM

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

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?

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:

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.

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 04-12-2010 03:21 PM

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

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
Spoiler:
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...

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 04-12-2010 03:35 PM

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.
