Nintendo Transparancy Promo Slides

Written by Link on 3rd July, 2008

Transparencies, or slides, were frequently used in art departments back in the 90’s before everything became much more reliant on digital mediums.

That’s good for us though, as these outdated items look amazing framed, especially in a light box. Even better, these always seem to sell for relatively cheap.

The seller has several available from the NES era. My favorite? The Bucky O’Hare and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 slides. There’s a cool one features Mario bad guys as well.

Metal Gear Solid Wine

Written by Link on 3rd July, 2008

A strange as this may seem, this item is probably one of the holy grails amongst Metal Gear Solid collectors. This ultra rare bottle of wine (Andiera Cabernet Sauvignon if it matters to you) is almost impossible to find and highly sought out.

It was originally produced after the PS1 release and only given to the game’s designers and business partners. The story behind this specific bottle is pretty neat, as the auction states:

Luckily for me, I lived in Japan for a number of years and taught English part-time and one of my students happened to be one of the game’s designers! He received the wine at the game’s launch party and, since he did not drink, gave it to me as a Christmas present that year!

The opening bid of $244.99 is not unreasonable, and apparently they have changed hands for over $500.00 previously.

Infocom Starcross Saucer

Written by Nicola on 2nd July, 2008

Another Infocom Starcross is ready to be sold. Since the last one sold for more than 1200 USD, I presume it would be nice to follow this auction.

Enjoy!
