Complete Stadium Events

Written by Limbofunk on 8th February, 2010

ZStadiumEvents 238x300 This has been big news for quite a while elsewhere on the internet, but I felt it worthwhile to post here. As far as licensed retail NES games go, all other cart prices tend to pale in comparison to Stadium Events. Where as the second most expensive licensed cart to acquire is Flinstones 2 (which will cost you somewhere between $150 and $200), that price is practically peanuts if you are on the lookout to snag Stadium Events which, within the past year or so, has been going for between $1200 and $1800. Mind you, this price is only for the bare cartridge, so if you're hoping to grab a complete copy prepare to dig deep...very deep. The last known price for a complete copy to exchange hands was somewhere in the realm of $6.5k and, judging by the current bid on this auction ($8.3k with 2 days to go), that price is looking like a steal. This will be the first time in years since an auction with a CIB Stadium Events will be able to run its course since its predecessors have all ended early with side deals within the past few years. All this for what is basically World Class Track Meet with a few sprite changes and a different title screen...go figure! Grab some popcorn, because I can only imagine there will be some fun fireworks at the end.

Sealed Shantae

You guys are being spoiled with these rare sealed games. Today I bring you a Sealed Shantae for Game Boy Color (the asking price is outrageous, I know - the seller is probably looking to buy a house with the stuff he has listed)

Shantae was published by Capcom and came out on June of 2002 for the Game Boy Color a year after the launch of the Game Boy Advance in North America. Perhaps this great platformer would have survived if it was released on Nintendo's new handheld system.

Matt Bozon, creator of the game, spoke with IGN in 2007 and mentioned that "When Shantae GBC was completed, it went to manufacturing, but then sat in the queue for 8 months while GBA took over the planet. Upon its release, it didn't sell huge numbers but the reviews were stellar. While many publishers are willing to push the game, the lowly sales of the original make it a tough sell to the folks who crunch numbers, and the retailers." He also mentioned that for them to sell more units, they would have to port the game on other platforms. In result, the game sold very little on the dying platform.

It not only serves as one of the best platforming games for the system but also one of the rarest. I sold a personal "cart only" copy last year for $90. Recently there's a complete copy that sold for $275 and a cart only for $100. It's hard to find a copy of this game in the wild and ebay is probably your best bet (or gametz?).

Too bad Shantae Advance was cancelled. It would have been a great game as well. I wonder when that demo will pop up on ebay?

NPDP Carts, Dragon’s Lair Obese Eve, Nuke Cola

Written by Nicola on 7th February, 2010

I'm back from Cairo! I've not been able to check any video games stores there, but I've never heard about Egyptian pirates & multicarts...so I didn't care much.

URL Video Action VA2
Universal Research Labs was one of the pioneers in the arcade videogame market, producing the Pong clone called VA1.
After bad financial problems and a fire accident, URL had to stop producing arcade systems and do something with the remaining electronic components. This is how the VA2 was born...and sold for 500 USD.
Yes, it's very rare.

Fallout 3 - Nuka Cola Bottle - New - and very expensive!

I presume that the MindLink disks in this Atari computer lot has nothing to do with the famous and unreleased MindLink, right?

Metal Gear Solid 2 Corporate Bond/Shareholder Limited Edition

Written by phear3d on 6th February, 2010

It must be nice to be an investor for Konami in Japan.. You get this nice Limited Edition copy of Metal Gear Solid 2: Son's of Liberty. This was given exclusively to a few of Konami's shareholders and is regarded as one of the rarest MGS games. I've never seen a sealed copy, only used on Ebay. I made an offer and it was turned down. Good luck and Enjoy!

"Not for sale, it was given to investors purchased corporate bond of Konami Computer Entertainment Japan in 2001. The price was 1,000,000 yen"

This website has scans of everything included in this package. Drool worthy.
