Got this in the mail today! Hint it's a rare NES title! :)

Post by Armymanis »

Hey guys! Well after seeing the game chaser's episode 7 or 8 season 1, and knowing that they found a Flinstones: Surprise at Dinosaur peak game, which is really rare. I figured I may as well search amazon and ebay to see if I can get a copy since I don't want to do the kind of searching they did.

My luck was right that day as I found that amazon.com had a copy of the rare NES title and I immediately ordered it for my collection. As I am new to video game collecting yet long time video game player, I will be collecting these games and showing off my collection in multiple threads. The NES cart itself is in EXCELLENT condition! When I mean excellent, I mean the cart has no dents, dings, or scratches. The Label is perfect as well! I am really considering getting a protective case just for this baby. Did I mention it plays perfectly in the system? :)

Anyways, Here are the pictures of the cart:

I hope you guy's all enjoyed my first update thread on the build of my collection. I do have three other games for the NES, but they are all common titles.

I'm not even gonna say what I purchased it for just because you guy's would think it's insane. If its 96% rare I thought why the hell not.

Awww, c'mon... where's the fun in that?! If you're gonna start a brand new thread about it, you might as well tell us how much you snagged it for. :wink:

Either way, whatever the cost, I just hope you get your money's worth out of it; entertainment-wise. I've always thought this game looked pretty fun.

I know a thing or two about paying ridiculous prices for rare games.

you should update the NWC wiki page:

For the 2011 Child's Play Charity Auction, Steve Lin (@stevenplin on Twitter) will be donating a gray version of the cartridge.

Haha I didn't mean to be rude. I wasn't asking the actual price or anything, just wondering if you got a good deal. I'm not here to judge or criticize, you can spend as much as you want to on any game you want! But like Nintendork666 said, I hope it's worth every penny and you get lots of enjoyment out of it. :D
