That's the one that sold for a gazillion dollars the other week! A lady sold her old nintendo along with a few games in which that game was included. Is that the same article?

Ca-razy!

I can't find the link (my work blocks all "gaming" sites)

No, not the same story, but the sequel . The auction you probably refer to, and which is referred to in the article aswell, was the same game and sold for over $13,000. The person in this article read that story and checked out the games he had in his basement for over 20 years. Turned out, he had the same game... SEALED! It was sealed because he was missing a special floor mat controller to play it, which he couldn't find back then, so he never bothered taking off the shrinkwrap. That coincidence kinda payed off now...

Ironically he was planning to give his games away to goodwill this month. He changed his mind about that...

That's just... silly.

Wow.. his heart probably hit the roof when he found his sealed copy!

So at this point... You should buy two copies of games. One to open and play, one to keep sealed for many years later apparently...!

I remember when special comics were like that... like the Death of Superman... Yeesh.

Yeah, especially those comics with multiple covers. Marvel and DC wanted readers to take the Pokemon approach: "Gotta catch 'em all!"

X-Men did that even more than Superman or Batman. Honestly, those X-Men storylines confused the hell out of me. I like to consider myself fairly intelligent and well-read, but when X-Men is more complicated than books like Dune, Fahrenheit 451 or Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, you know Marvel was going too far.

Granted, the newer stuff is lame. Yes. But the classic X-Men (before Uncanny X-Men like 200 - it was good stuff).

Not to mention some of the Archie comics, particularly Archie's wedding to Veronica... and Betty...

P.S. It was a dream sequence.

P.S.S. I only know about this because I saw it in the library and thought I might give it a whirl. (But it was full!!! Of!!! Exclamation marks!!!!! Seriously, I nearly drowned in exclamation marks).
