Subject: Rare Nintendo Game sells for $35,000 (£23,000) on eBay.

Written By: Philip Eno on 01/17/15 at 11:02 pm

A rare factory-sealed copy of the 1987 Nintendo videogame Stadium Events has sold for over $35,000 (£23,000) on eBay.

The game, published by Bandai, is the English version of a Japanese game called Running Stadium. It was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System console.

The North American NTSC version of Stadium Events is thought by collectors to be the rarest licenced game ever released for the NES platform.

I'd wish I purchased hoards of games in the mid-late '90s (or early '00s with eBay more popular) when values of these games were at their cheapest! I currently have around 150 NES games, though my most valuable games are worth around $25 (the Legend of Zelda games). Most of them are loose meaning that it just isn't the same without the manual. That said, now is a good time to puchase Gamecube games as they will likely appreciate (unless if already rare) in a similar fashion in the future. Of course I along with many have the "poor man's version", World Class Track Meet.

No I wish there was back then but it was just a cheat code to knock him out.
