With a tear and a blemish, too - that is big ££££

I enjoyed how he said he'd put the buyer up, as though he doesn't trust the postal service. :)

:eek 2:

This is why I don't collect NEO•GEO. If EVER I found one of these in the wild (as if), I'd sell it post-haste. Forget having a one-of-a-kind game, that's a down payment on a house!

The last one sold for 12 grand! Not even a month ago.

Is that the same one?? Looks like the same pics to me.

$10,000 for a game? My god. O_O

How do people like Joe Bloggs here get there hands on things like this? I mean, where these games realeased like any other game, in the shops? If there where only possibly 5 made, then it must have cost a lot to buy in the first place. :o

This is the one we deabted heavily in the VG forum. Derp!

I think the auction (and the other thread) said it was a homebrew title. But I mean $11,250 IS a lot of money but the way I see it is if you're a serious AES collector you have to have a lot of money anyway. So it's kinda not all that surprising.

You know, I love a lot of SNK games. Metal Slug or Samurai Shodown, for instance, are great titles with a lot of excellent gameplay. They are certainly deserving of whatever praise is handed to them.

I'll also grant that these games are on the rare side, but I fail to see how they've reached such stratospherically high price levels. One suspects it has much more to do with hype and the NG's traditional "holy grail" status among collectors than any amazing strength of the games themselves.

And now...this. Come on - NO game is worth a cool ten grand (or twelve, if the previous report was correct). Not even when there's just five copies to go around. It's not even something like a prototype or pre-release copy, so far as I can tell.

If someone wants to attempt an explanation of what I see as an ultimately stupid phenomenon, go ahead and try it out.

It wasn't a homebrew, it was a misread. It is a "home cart". The game that was sold AFAIK was an original, AES game, not a homebrew or convert.

I thought it looked a little too professional. XD

Sorry my mistake.

Nah, there shouldn't be a sorry there. Some of the inserts and instructions have gotten *very* good. I believe it was 2 years ago that a US Metal Slug was sold in Europe as a legit copy (insert, manual looks 95%+ legit) but it was a convert. Home cart and home brew kinda look the same if you're reading fast. ;)

[Chunky]

so you se this at a flee for $50, and you know what it is.


do you tell the man?

ask him to hold it while you find an ATM.

not trust him and have someone go to the atm for you, or wait there while you run you ass off.

do you cover up that it's worth it's weight in gold and maybe buy something else w/ it?

do you just piss yourself right there?

[Funkenstein]

Immediate urination.

Now, I love collecting video games, but if I saw one of those just sitting there in the wild, I wouldn't see an incredibly rare Neo Geo cart, I would see ten thousand little George Washingtons linking arms in a kickline singing "Money money money money! MOH-NEA!"

It's odd to me why you'd rather have a game worth ten grand when instead you could have ten grand. You can't walk into a store and buy groceries with a copy of Alien Soldier.

As Portnoyd said, this is the same auction for the same copy of the game that was discussed just 2 or 3 weeks ago:

And it sold for $12,500, not $10,000.

I love collecting games, and i just sold my Neo and the games i had... i needed the cash!!

(My snes collection is my main priority)

I could never have a game (that costs that much) and just let it sit on the shelf! i know it will be worth more in the future, but i'd feel better with $12,000 stuffed in my wallet!! (a big wallet, a really, really big wallet!!) ;)

I don't really care if there are only 2 or 3 copies of this title in the world... $12,000 is to much!! :roll:

BIG QUESTION THAT I ASKED B4 ( but didn't get answered ), is this game any goood!! and how does it play?...
