 "The most expensive game\". Ever!")
Putting a price on nostalgia is fine, but when some one puts an 8-bit cartridge up for 20,000 USD (nearly nine lakh) it gives a whole new meaning to the term “Wtf was he thinking?”. One anonymous poster has put an old Nintendo cartridge that features Super Mario Bros, Tetris and Rad Racer up for sale on eBay for that price and here’s what he had to say:
What we have here is the Holy Grail of NES Carts. Those of you looking at this auction and can afford it know what it is. I’m pretty much gauging interest with this auction, If someone does buy the cart I will pay for 1-day express mail w/insurance etc., within the continental US, or I will do local pick up. If the cart does not sell, I will save emails and questions I recieve and notify those interested as to when a relist may occur. Also The bidders will remain private for this auction, as so they can remain anonymous if they so please.
At least he’s shipping it for free…
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
