Mad money for the sate of the cart. I have the rom in my NES emulation collection so might start it up later to see what its like!

I believe the game itself is poor. Only reason for interest is its rarity.

There are a few rare NES carts that go for crazy money

The 'world champion' ones like this (which are 3 games - Tetris / Rad Racer / Mario on a timer) there are grey and gold ones depending on where the person placed in the event - they were given out as prizes so there are a very limited number.

A very early Wii Fit type game called Stadium Events which was released and withdrawn almost straight away (then came out under another publisher) - one went for something like 15,000 $ last year

The prices are around the rarity of the games not the quality

e.g. one of the rare and valuable VCS games is called "Chase the chuckwagon" or similar which is a poor pacman clone that was given away free via coupons on tins of dogfood in the US , its the fact there are not 'millions' of them out there which makes it worth more

It'll be interesting to see if they're genuine bids. I've added it to my watch list for now though.

Exciting!

Blimey, I thought someone paying £900 for a copy of Chase HQ 2 for the GX4000 seemed OTT!

That is just fucking ridiculous.

That should pay off a third of his house, then. Not too bad.

The highest bidder has retracted his offer claiming it was a mistake.

He just wanted the infamy. Will everyone just run off, laughing, like everyone in that Simpsons auction?
