Million dollars in your attic?

Super Mario 64 game sells for record-breaking $1.5m at auction

A sealed copy of video game Super Mario 64 has sold at auction for more than $1.5m (£1.1m), shattering records. The 1996 cartridge was a launch title for the Nintendo 64 console, and was one of the most influential early 3D platformers. The auction house said there were "fewer than five" copies in such good condition. The sale dwarfed another record-breaker, an original Legend of Zelda cartridge, set just two days before. That original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) cartridge sold for $870,000 on Friday, briefly making it the world's most expensive game. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57804089

I recently got into emulation and through away an entire collection of retro cartridges for systems as old as hanimex a playstation1 and games had no idea what i had until i got into building games machines over last few months. This was all in last months only when i tried to make my old namco twisting joystick work with usb did i realise what i had just thrown out. i am 49 i was throwing out games i had at 9. On a positive note i have 100k+ of games over my systems.

I don't think it's ever going to be opened, but imagine if they did open it and disc was faulty or disc is actually missing

Throwing away the stuff is what made me think of emulation and start my recent hobby. I have multiple androids,pandoras rasberrypis and pcs i am fooling around with. Also modifiying a streetfighter cabinet at moment.

Not into hijacking thread as is about Mario just others were interested in my hobby which turns out to be nerdier than web development so is teaching me more about raw operating systems and modern particianing.
If you use partician software i can tell you some are really sneaky and will disable cards....

The more i look at this market i find it is absolute propaganda nobody is spending loads of money on games nobody has the whole thing isn't real.

Glad all mine is emulation and now not so worried about what i chucked.

California is prone to them.

90% of homes in California are track homes, slabs are cheaper and considered more sanitary, efficient than a basement or crawl space.

Ground in California doesn’t freeze so no frost heave
