An NES Game worth $17,500? In the words of Penny Arcade's Johnathan Gabriel, "Is it? IS IT FUCKING REALLY?"
For those who'd rather stay here, Chumpstain McRichfuck here bought a game cartridge that was used at the Nintendo World Championships. You get all of 6 minutes of playtime. Got that? You play Mario for a bit, you play Rad Racer for a bit, and then you play Tetris for a bit. I think that says just as much about what Nintendo considered "champion-worthy" back in the day. It's not even "Who can get the furthest in X amount of time"- It's just a simple set of goals.
And I know this guy isn't going to play this thing, but that's even worse. $17.5 grand could do so much more, especially in the realm of gaming.
