I really don't think this is the most expensive game of all time.
damn that's criptic. please tell me which is then

Personally, i'm not sure off hand. But I'm pretty sure there is an official cart somewhere that is worth more than that homebrew cart.
How did a homebrew get to be so expensive anyways? I just can't see paying 10,000.00 for something some person made...theres technically no collectable value in it and paying that much just to PLAY it is insane.
$10K is the asking price - doesn't mean anybody'll pay it. For a single game that's actually been sold for a fairly high price, check out:

(VIC-20 Ultima Escape From Mt. Drash - went for $3605.00)
why do you think its a homebrew? do you collect neo geo games? I mean that forum is run by collectors and all and it is widely accepted as being legit. I think you may have gotten your wires crossed.

"A fool and his money are soon parted." - common proverb
I will never pay 10k for a homebrew and i donŽt know if iŽll pay them for a collect item too...
IT'S NOT A HOMEBREW
why in gods name does everyone think it is???

I think they are basing the "homebrew" aspect from the header of the post, which I don't understand why that's there. It all looks legit, and the box doesn't look like a shock box at all, more like the snap cases NG games came in for a period of time.
Geez, don't get your pannies in a bunch.Originally Posted by Devilredeemed
Anyways, it says "homecart" in the title...I assumed it was a homebrew which I've also heard called "homecart" before.
Still, 10,000.00 is ridiculous. I don't care if it's made out of PLATINUM, signed by every game maker in the world, and is the only one of it's kind....anyone that spends 10,000.00 on a game cartridge is an idiot. I can even justify 1000.00 for something like a NWC cart...but some people need to get a grip and get there priorities in check.

*sigh*
homeCART...
not:
homeBREW
difference. Homecart is the designation for Neo Geo AES carts, the "home" system. Like calling a MVS game an "arcade cart".
It's legit, and last time it was sold it sold for $11k. It WILL go for more this time. This is only the 6th known copy of a Euro Kizuna Encounter to be verified.
You would think it's a good game though, it's sorta meh from what I hear.

Holy crap. It's been a while.

Well, if you go by sales/hype inflation and make it a ratio, there's actually less inflation on the Kizuna than on the NWC Gold cart:
NES games retail: $50 - NWC price $4000-6000 (80-120X hype markup)
Neo Geo games retail: $200-300 - Kizuna price $11000 (37-55X hype markup)
still, this is the reason I went MVS. I think a MVS Kizuna goes for around $120 for a full kit. AES Euro Kizuna can bite me

Holy crap. It's been a while.
Kizuna Encouter, is super rare, if you read that post, you'll see there's only 5 confirmed Euro Copies. Add in the fact that lots of US/Euro AES carts go for hugh bucks,(Metal slug-$2850, Metal Slug 2 $1000, Neo Turf Masters $1300,Stake Winner $1100) That's not even counting the several $700 carts, or $500. It's not hard for me to believe that the rarest of the rare would go for 10k+. An average US Neo geo AES cart is is probably around $300-$400. These carts are rare, the people who collect them have money,thus you have the most expensive console video game in the world.
Heh. Reading is fundamental, eh?
Still, I'd never pay that, but I agree with AdamG for all the reasons he mentioned.
Sidenot, it's been ages since I looked at N-G.com. God, I'm glad we have limits on how big your sig can be and what you can have in them. Some of those are practically a website unto them selves.
Cmosfm, you are one rude customer.
I'm not making any moral judgements on the price of the game - I'm just presenting it.
a fool and his money... yes but try not to put your foot in your mouth when trying to sound so self important. Homecart as opposed to arcade cart as has already been stated-

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if this does sell for more that $10,000. I never knew the definition of "totally crazy nutso rabid collector" until I started keeping up with the neo scene on ng.com. Those are some HARD-CORE people, folks. Collecting for the Neo Geo home system (the AES) can be amazingly expensive, and the neo scene is home to some of the craziest, ass-kicking, screaming, balls-to-the-wall DRAMA that I have ever seen (in the videogame scene, that is.) Seriously... some of these people have A LOT of money to spend (or blow) and they don't mind paying out the big bucks to complete their collections. This game, in particular, is the game a few wealthy collectors need to complete their collections.
It's a "boys with toys" syndrome gone totally off the scale... get EVERY game and BRAG about it. It's not too far off to say that this IS the most expensive game of all time, or at least one of most expensive ones.
Now that I've slammed nutty neo collectors, let me say that if I had a lot of money i'd probably have a complete Neo collection too, and I'd pay whatever this guy asked for this game. But i don't, and I won't. I made the decision NOT to collect for the Neo-Geo AES system years ago, and I don't regret that decision AT ALL.
And I only thought that three of these have turned up? Oh well, hehe, and to think, less 2600 Air Raids are known to exist now.

You haven't seen this one site I posted at the day it crashed (think it's back up now). Some folks have their posts in little scroll boxes that take up literally 1/6 of the post's space -- the rest is preformatted stuff, fancy graphical background, etc. Shit like having your sig on the first line, yup!
Anyhow.
If I can get more collectors to think that "homecart" means "homebrew," I would be able to afford more as prices fall in auctions designated as "homecarts." Of course I use the official SNK designations of AES and MVS when talking/writing about the stuff I own.
Haha, that's pretty funny. You learn something every day, eh CMOS FM?
