kObi Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 So yeah, a nes game called stadium events still in its wrapper. how much would you pay for it? http://cgi.ebay.com/FACTORY-SEALED-NEW-NES-NINTENDO-STADIUM-EVENTS-NTSC_W0QQitemZ140384097750QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Vintage_Video_Games?hash=item20af8b55d6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 How is that worth so much? I just don't get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunGodRA Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It makes me sick that people have so much money to waste on something so useless. Antiques I can understand, buying a piece of history - I used to buy and sell antique furniture as a hobby many years ago, a lot of pieces I kept - owning something 400 odd years old means something to me. I actually bought my ex-wife an amulet in Egypt from a dodgy dealer for £75 - when we got home the British Museum dated it to be 100BC - RESULT!!!! This would never be sold though - its a REAL piece of history. Anyway, I digress - spending all that money on a 20 year old crappy computer game is totally mad!

I know what you're saying about wasting money, but if it means something to you, then its worth it (not $41k though, but depends how rich you are). For me it probably would be computer games... Buying a brand new game and then taking it home, the best part was always taking the wrapper off and putting it in for the first time... One of my most significant memories is playing Fifa 94 on the snes for the first time... and to own the game still sealed would take you back to that moment of anticipation...

SunGodRA Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I think I am going to GAME tomorrow and buy every current release game and stick them in a safety deposit box and leave in my will for my kids - you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I think the original Manhunt on PS2 would be worth something... the auction above says the game is worth so much because it was recalled... i know they recalled Manhunt after just a few weeks on the shelves... and then re-released a toned down version.

spursmaddave Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Just goes to show something is only worth what someone will pay for it. I don't get the whole factory sealed thing, it might be the wrong game in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kObi Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I sadly missed the whole nes/snes scene. I went commodore 64, megadrive, megadrive 2 and megacd then ps1 and so forth. I think if i was introduced to mario kart when it first came out i wouldnt of touched a megadrive. Well that or duck hunt with the gun, that looked awesome! think the megadrive had a gun game but cant remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadrive '89 Snes '94 Atari Jaguar '96 N64 '97 PSone '98 Dreamcast '99 PS2 '2001? Then i got on eBay and bought every other mainstream console again... That said, to this day i've never owned a Nes or a Saturn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I might be the only person that doesn't have a console history. They never interested me, I didn't sit in as a kid, and they wonder why kids are obese these days lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh but when you were a teenager the height of computer gaming would be writing 'SHELL.OIL' on a calculator Seriously though, absolutely nothing wrong with gaming... in my early teens i was out playing footy every single day, even in the dark in the winter, but then after tea with my mates round, we'd stay in and play computer games... Beer and women didnt start until i was 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Consoles don't make kids obese it's poor diet and lazy parenting. My son loved consoles like me and still does, if the weather was nice it was footy in the back garden but if it was raining it was FIFA 99!

I understand where your going with this but it's always been this way? Victorians loved those artefacts from history the Post war generation loved Victorian stuff. People in the 50's though wanted to look forward ( just like during the Art Deco period) but when we look at 50's stuff we think it's really olde worlde and love to collect it! So it goes on now everyone is making a fuss about 80's stuff yet again! I remember the first home computers and still have my Vic 20 but I don't see it as something precious but then there has been a shift in Technology from the handmade egyptian artefacts to mass produced stuff fro the 50's to virtual products of today such as software and firmware? People will remember specific leaps in technology and have fond memories of them hence this is the collectables market - someone crap is another persons dream but like you I have no interest with computer games never have even though IT is my job.
