Occasionaly an eBay auction pops up that is relativly note-worth among NES and Nintendo collectors... I think this is one of them, as this cart isn't too common and doesn't show up very often.

The Nintendo World ChampionshipCartridge.

It's the more common "Grey" version, but still... an interesting item...

(Please note, this isn't my auction - if I had this item, I would *never* be willing to part with it! I'd sell my Liver first.

Oh my god, $5,700 for a NES game? Call me stupid, but it IS a Nintendo game, maybe it will be available for download on the Rev.?

*Note: Never played this game, never even knew it existed. I don't even know what its about.

It's not even really an NES game, persay. It's a special promotional cartridge that was used in the 1990 Nintendo World Championship. It consists of three "levels" (one being SMB1, one being Rad Racer and One being Tetris) and the (basic) idea is to get more points that the others playing in the limited amount of time you're given.

While it would be neat to see this (and other such promotional things) for download, I doubt it'll happen.

Ahh, it ain't a game then. Well, definately not gonna be for download.

Still, this makes the price even stupider...$5,700 for a Nes cartridge, that only has 3 levels?

Don't think of it as $5.7K for a NES cartridge with only 3 levels. Think of it as something that's rare (I think only 100 of these were made, and maybe only 3 Gold ones, or something like that) and part of the history of something you love (namely, Nintendo).

It's all about the collectivity of it.

Here's some more detailed info on it.

Well I'm intrigued. I wonder if this was included in the PA Omega collection I missed out on... They said they completed the collection and it had every NA NES game in it...

Somehow I don't think it included this one.

UncleBob · « **Reply #8 on:** September 14, 2005, 04:02:25 PM »

For some reason, I was thinking this was included in that PA Promotion... I might be wrong though...

I would like to purchase your liver Sir Bob, how much are you willing to part with it for?

UncleBob · « **Reply #10 on:** September 14, 2005, 04:50:38 PM »

Well, I'll tell you in about five days or so... But I can already tell it'll be over $5,700...

IceCold · « **Reply #11 on:** September 14, 2005, 05:43:07 PM »

What about $6250?

Dasmos · « **Reply #12 on:** September 14, 2005, 06:30:11 PM »

Oh no I won't be outbidded. How about $7250?

I'll sell my liver to get more funds if I have to......

UncleBob · « **Reply #13 on:** September 20, 2005, 03:31:24 AM »

Well, the cart ended up going for $6,100 if anyone's interested.

Epitaph · « **Reply #14 on:** September 20, 2005, 04:45:41 PM »

I wonder how much a gold cart would go for

LinkZero · « **Reply #15 on:** October 01, 2005, 07:16:22 PM »

Does anyone here know anything about the nes game call "zelda outlands", i saw it on ebay.

Dasmos · « **Reply #16 on:** October 01, 2005, 07:50:22 PM »

It's not a real Nintendo endorsed game. From what I believe it is a fan made Zelda. They hacked the original NES Zelda and made an entirely new game.

LinkZero · « **Reply #17 on:** October 03, 2005, 06:22:19 PM »

So how much do you think it worth?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #18 on:** October 03, 2005, 11:41:19 PM »

As much as people are willing to pay for it. Since hacks aren't officially made and can be replicated as often as you want the collector's value is probably below zero.

Nephilim · « **Reply #19 on:** October 04, 2005, 01:58:36 AM »

The hacked pokemon games go for tons
I see no reason why it wouldnt sell more then a old copy of zelda (non boxed)

Dasmos · « **Reply #20 on:** October 04, 2005, 03:54:49 AM »

Why not just download it? Cheaper I would think..
