The Rarest Video Games!!

Think some games nowadays are getting way too expensive? Think youve seen the most expensive and rare video games? Well, there are some games out there that are so rare that only a few copies exist, and those few are ridiculously expensive.

NTSC Stadium Events: $40,000 (sealed box)!!!
A sealed Stadium Events sold for $40,000 in March 2010, which makes it the most expensive game ever sold. The game was recalled by Nintendo soon after release so they could market it as World Class Track Meet. Collectors need to be careful they don't mistake the [much less valuable] PAL version of the game for the NTSC version.

Nintendo World Championships Gold: $18,000

26 of these were given out in a Nintendo Power contest after the 1990 Game Championship took place in Universal Studios. These were the same games used during the video game competition, but they are in gold colored cartridges like the original Zelda for NES. The games include Super Mario, Rad Racer, and Tetris and limits game play to 6 minutes and 21 seconds. Only 13 of these are accounted for, so another 13 are out there somewhere.

1994 Powerfest Cartridge: $20,000

There is only one of these known to exist. This game was used at the last national video game competition Nintendo ever held...Nintendo made 33 of these for the competition, so there could be more somewhere in the wild, but they were all supposed to be destroyed after the event.

Nintendo Campus Challenge: $20,100

Only one of these is known to exist in the world -- the one copy was found at a garage sale in New York in 2006. Like Nintendo World Championships, it was used in a video game competition held by Nintendo. The game includes Super Mario 3, PinBot, and Dr. Mario on the same cartridge and stops the game after six minutes.
