Some dude bought a video game for $17,500 last month. The game is a Nintendo game, believe it or not. There is a total of less than 7 minutes of video game on this game. It is, apparently, a huge deal in the Collector’s world, however.
Setting the stage: You ever seen the movie The Wizard? Where Fred Savage is in it and has a brother who kicks ass at video games and they go to play video games in a tournament and tons of dumb shit happens to interfere and then the kid does play video games eventually?
Pretty much that was a true story.
So, back then they had Nintendo Championships or whatever, so you need game cartridges for the event, right? This is such a game cartridge. It is also GOLD. They made 26 of them and so it has ridiculous value.
Hopefully, he spent this 17k to continually play the 7 minute tournament format over and over…

and for more “Wizard” trivia – did you know that the girl from the movie is now grown up and fronting the band Rilo Kiley?

I owned the Power Glove. I can confirm that it was indeed “so…baaaad!”
And were those carts made of real gold, or was it just a goldish like color of plastic like the Zelda carts?

I would imagine that it was just the goldish color like Zelda. I think it’s more that they signify only 26 of them being out there.
Definitely did not know the trivia on the girl from The Wizard or own a power glove. Kicked crazy ass in ninja gaiden, however, but who didn’t?
