    Maybe one of the "first video game" contenders, including the computer the size of a room it was played on? :lol: Or along similar lines, one of the old "mechanical Turk" chessplaying machines would probably be worth way more than $25K.

    As for real-ish games, maybe if someone miraculously dug up an early prototype of Super Mario Bros. 1 with differences or something, I dunno.

    Yes, one that's delivered to your door by Carmen Electra and comes with a complimentary titty fuck. Even that's a stretch.

    If any game WOULD sell for 25k it would be this one.

    I agree. Anything else would have to be absolutely insane, like a museum purchasing the original Brown Box prototype.

    There are only like five copies of PAL Kizuna Encounter for Neo Geo, and considering it has sold for "only" $15000 or so, I don't see how this would be worth $25000 since there are more copies of it.

    Is the game $25k worth of fun? No?

    Then my offer of $12.95 to him was both amusing AND the proper value. Hehe. Love to see his reaction to that.

    Neither one is worth 25k but the NWC is a better investment than any NEO GEO cart if there is such a thing.

    Supply AND demand determine the price not just supply. Neo Geo has a cult like following and some very high priced games it just isn't a household name in the USA. If videogames ever become a real hobby "A" list actors and investors won't be buying Neogeo at auction the same way they buy up copies of Superman and Spiderman #1s, it would have to be a Nintendo product.

    True but Superman and Spiderman #1 have some real value, they're the first of an extremely popular series of comic books. This cart? I doubt it's even entertaining. Give me a signed copy of Chrono Trigger any day over this.

    Or Panzer Dragoon Saga for that matter.

    Hardware is different. Don't Apple 1s sell for this much already?

    I don't think #1 or #2 would sell for more than an NWC.

    real value?

    Well this isn't a real hobby yet. If it becomes one NWC will be at the top.

    I'll offer him a 3-for-1 trade. He can have my Super Mario Bros, Rad Racer, and Tetris carts for it.
