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.

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

OK, I don't really know what that is

*Spitfire* · 04-20-2007, 08:24 PM

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 · 04-20-2007, 09:02 PM

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

**GK Punk** · 04-20-2007, 09:20 PM

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

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* · 04-20-2007, 10:01 PM

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~~ · 04-20-2007, 10:21 PM

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

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** · 04-21-2007, 02:29 AM

Yeah Id like to hear this to, Logic.

*Spitfire* · 04-21-2007, 02:33 AM

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.

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?
