Nintendo World Championship cart up for sale on eBay.

There's a few blogs (and the auction itself) out there calling this the Holy Grail of NES games, that ain't true. It's close, but the gold version of this cart would be considered (among the experts, and me) to be the holiest of holies.

Not to say this little bastard is common place, far from it. But you gotta wonder when the seller says there's 90 in existence and this one is numbered 265.

Another red flag, he claims to have not tested it. So I can honestly say, if you're in the market for this game, to not buy this one. But it's always news when someone actually moves one of these things. I'm hoping to have one myself someday. But for now, here's the auction.

The funny thing is, I've played this cart. Well not this exact one but one just like it. I was at the Nintendo World Championships, advanced a few rounds actually. The cart, for those that don't know, plays like this. It starts off with Super Mario Brothers, where your job is collect 50 coins ASAP. Then it cuts to Rad Racer for a shortened version of the 1st track in the game. Then, you play Tetris until the time is up. Then it adds up your score, and bam... that's all she wrote.

I was in the Championships as well. I got to the second round - had the highest score, so I go to sit in the throne and have my play projected onto a huge screen - and got owned by Tetris. One of those "not getting the pieces you need" games (at least that's what you say when you're a child).
