Rare Video Games Auctions, Sales & Pricing

Back in the 80′s lots of game companies held contests as part of their marketing efforts. While the prizes were nowhere the level of today (take the recent one million cash for a perfect pitch in MLB 2K10 as an example) they were somehow more interesting.
