Is this some sort of record?

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?

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.

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

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

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.

OK, :trolleye:


(If I start to reply to everyone this will turn into something of-topic so I don´t give a **** to explain this...)

Barkworm 04-12-2010 12:26 PM

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