Video Game collecting is really interesting -- there are numerous rare and
uncommon games out in the wild that many people haven't heard of, but
some collectors get all crazy about. One of these games that gets the
hardcore collectors excited is up for sale right now on Ebay. The starting bid: $15,000. The game is NintendoWorld Championships Gold. This was a limited-edition game that Nintendo
put out for the NES in 1990. It was made around the time of the movie The Wizard, which stared Fred Savage, and promoted the release of Super Mario Bros. 3.
Nintendo had a contest where you had 6 some-odd minutes to get a bunch
of points in a couple of games, in this big competition, held by
Nintendo Power magazine. 90 grey edition Nintendo World Championship
games were made; and only 26 of the gold edition Nintendo World
Championship versions were given out to winners of the contest, making
this Catrtridge one of the most sought after games around.
