In your travels, you may have heard of the "holy grail" of video games. This rare NES game, known as Nintendo World Championships 1990, has only 116 copies in circulation. Now it seems that the owner of one of these carts has done what any other red-blooded capitalist would do, and put it up for sale on Ebay. The asking price? $12,000. There's also a "best offer" option, but the seller says he (or she) will not be budging much on the price.
This game is a must-have for the serious game collector, certainly, but we don't imagine too many folks have $12,000 to throw around. And, if by any chance you do, consider buying us something nice for steering you in the right direction, m'kay?

Hopefully the person who buys it will know how to make it into a ROM for us all to enjoy...looking at, not playing. I don't condone ROMs.

I was under the impression a version of this game was in ROM form. Then again I could be very much mistaken.

That site blows. Get it from some place where they aren't nazis about bugmenot and mailinator.

Won't it be hilarious when some sap buys the game for $12,000 and a month later it is available on the VC for 500 points?
Here's an idea... Nintendo should release the game on the VC/WiiWare and allow people to submit their high scores online.

It's already available as a ROM, which, sadly, is the only way we can play it.
