A really Beavis thing to do

E3, The Extra-Testicle, coming to an Atari landfill near you !

Butt head

wow rip Syd was a legend

That price is out of this world.

Hardcore collectors will be happy. The rare ones will satisfy a rare collector for a couple of weeks, too.

you can make an offer. i'm gonna post five bucks and see if i get it. i'll keep you guys posted.

Sounds like they're testing the waters. They're shooting for the stars, but I bet if they get a good offer, they'll sell.

@@mbkproductionz5697 Holding it up is different than being on it. I said that cuz the game is trash to play.

@@mbkproductionz5697 No worries. It wasn't in good taste to write but look at the gameplay and ask yourself, $90,000.???

Yes... but on the other hand I'm sure the world would be fine if Extra Terrestrials for Atari 2600 had remained lost media.

I can see people sell old consoles in the future with a bunch of digital games on it, so they will get pricey.

Backlog Buddies and Game Highlighter plus it was made during the video game crash

Too bad Syd Bolton died last year. I'm assuming his wife is selling it.

@@GeezuzKane Wow I had no idea he passed away. I met him at Retro Replay in Cambridge years back. Amazing guy fun to talk to about everything gaming. I guess this makes sense now it's up for sale.

@@cheapskategamer8562 it was a sad day when i heard about it. His wife and close friends had a massive yard sale selling a shit ton of his extra stuff like a month after. I still hope that his wife doesn't sell his main collection. I seen it in person and was amazed. He will be missed.

@@GeezuzKane well that's depressing

Disrespectful to sell it

Cheapskate Gamer I just watch an old interview with him. Said it’s going to a museum and it’ll never be sold.

@@thelastdragon5551 That's good to hear!!!!

I'm Tempted but not crazy

@@darthkai8242 real shit.... I have a storage unit full of my collection obsession. I don't even tell my dates now unless I know they're into games,dvds, and other physical media.

@Diss Raps if you say so .... my ps2 collection alone is worth 15k if that’s junk to you I’m good with it. Ps you’re ignorant and I’m guessing you don’t understand the retro video game market. Good thing I do. Also you’re replying to videos at what time get a life. Diss raps 😂 nice name

@Diss Raps hope you’re life gets better its hard times I understand! You couldn’t fill up a storage unit let alone pay for one .... so I’m not mad at your trolling I understand it’s out of frustration. I hope you get a good job. You’re posting in random KZfaq comments with negativity at early am c’mon your life’s not going so well.

Game store action involving a hidden message in an old console with a map to some super rare game. At the end of the action pack journey around the world. In the final scene, Pat and Ian realize the real treasure is their friendship, not some rare game.

Glad you clarified which E.T you were referring to. I don't think we could have figured it out

Drink a Beer and Play a Game it’s been dumped a long time ago.

Bobby Albert awesome, thanks for the heads up, will have to check it out

Homebrew was always a thing. Hackers gunna hack. It was easier for the home computer market (obviously, because cassettes and floppy disks) but if you had a way to manufacture a ROM cartridge there was nothing stopping you from putting your game on Atari 2600. The NES had its 10NES lockout chip but people still managed to get around that, and there was no such lockout for the original Famicom so there's lots and lots of crazy stuff on it.

Jayemkay79 he even let people into his museum on certain days of the year, always wanted to go but never was able to....

Um it was a gba sp

Nope Atari sold it's own version of basic for the VCS a.k.a. 2600

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKh5p8qA2Mi8mIE.html It's a rare unique game that never left Canada. There's extensive documentation on this. _very extensive_

Completely Useless

Completely Useless

I thought it was mario bros 3

Joel hopkins, last gamer here on the tubes has one

That is an unlicensed game which doesn't count there are probably thousands of different bootlegs that exists, unlike this which is an officially patented atari game.

I was wondering the same thing

pcmuseum.ca/story_etfollowup.asp long ago

@@Rayquaza911 When it was found a while back they released a few complete in box reproduction copies and I was able to get one from the Atari Age Forums. The wife and I run a game store in Florida and a few years ago we sold an Atlantis II cart as well. I love collecting for the 2600. I've got about 325 games in my personal collection.

No, but I just took a big dump a while ago. It stunk

Exactly. That is why the game is rare to begin with.

Like rule of roses. The rarest ps2 game officially released for the ps2. It is considered to be absolute crap and barely runs, like driv3r bad. However, despite it being so bad people want it because less than 5k copies exist, if I recall correctly, because most copies were returned to the publisher for not selling

@@backlogbuddies Rule of Roses isn't THE rarest PS2 game. One of the rarest, undoubtedly, but there are a few Japanese games that were exclusive to promotions, didn't sell well at all, or had lower print runs than Rule of Rose itself.

@@dontegraves5051 oh really? I didn't know that. I just remember finding out about rule of roses due to chulip

Prove it

Hi not true I contacted him about this on ebay and he said the picture was taken in a UV resistant room underground and it was open for under a minute.

Yeah, it's a special version. It was written onto a special cart that was programmed at kiosks in grocery stores somewhere.

I think they accepted it

kotaku.com/the-rarest-longest-lost-atari-2600-cartridge-once-sold-5847530

Its terrible. U ain't missin' much.

I hear that guy also has a HUGE... NES collection.

@@mbkproductionz5697 I'm pretty sure I remember this specific cart from his 2017 game room tour

That is exactly what I was saying

TreeFiddy hur!!

You were disciplined enough to not overpay for it. I respect that

@@mbkproductionz5697 no not that, I swear I've seen either James or Mike show this game in a video before

NES ADDICT hey another one of my favourite youtube creators !!!

Trevor Walsh hey thanks Trevor!! :) that means a lot! 🙌

NES ADDICT your very welcome dude, like watching your long plays

There's actually a demo disc collecting scene. While you won't make big bucks selling demos random ones are worth tons to collectors and data miners. You can often find tons of hidden/ removed content on demo discs

Please share.

Why?

xxno464xx85 because the Atari game library doesn't appeal to me so paying through the nose for ultra rare but terrible games like the one in the video is not something I could ever dream of doing. It's not a knock on people who do enjoy collecting Atari, it's just on a personal level I don't find it appealing. It reminds me of a darker, more primitive time in the history of video games that I have no desire to archive in my house.

@@unstoppableExodia Fair enough, each to their own I guess.

I agree, just put it in a museum instead.

You bring up a fair point about ATARI not having a official seal of quality like Nintendo, but that is part of the problem when it comes to collecting for Atari, just about anyone could (if they knew about electronics and computer programing) could make Atari games, IF I were to make an Atari game and make 20 copies and sell them in a add in the back of a Hustler magazine and some trucker buys the game, then technically it would become one of the RAREST video games on Earth, but like Pat said in the video any Joe shmo can make a couple of copies of a Atari game in their basement and if they sell the game it becomes "The Holy Grail" of Atari 2600 games. When Nike or some other company does a "Limited" run of 50 shoes/what ever, that product immediately becomes SUPER RARE, the point I was trying to make when it comes to Atari 2600 games, is because they let anyone build ATARI games and there was NO QUALITY CONTROL, the whole RARE and thus Valuable thing becomes SO subjective that it loses its meaning.There are still people making and selling brand new NES games (Micro Mages) is a great example, NOW that game is going to sell thousands upon thousands of copies, BUT if a person makes and sells a SHIT game on the NES and it only sells 2 copies, well guess what THAT is now the Worlds RAREST GAME!! does that make ti worth 90k? 50k? 25k? or next to worthless? Just because something is rare does not mean it is priceless. I can go and buy a 12 by 16 inch piece of canvas and slap some paint on it and claim that it is a one of a kind original painting and put it up on Ebay with a price tag of 90k, and it would be technically SUPER RARE, if someone buys it for 90k, good for me, but mean that the fair market value for my painting is 90k?It is ONE OF A KIND!! but so what.

OK fair enough. I guess the big problem I have with Atari is (and this is what helped bring about the video game crash of 1983) is that they had no quality control and allowed ANYONE to produce games for their system.Nintendo I think instituted the "Quality Control/Official License" to help prevent another video game crash (However even some of the "Officially Licensed" NES games were fucking train wrecks, HOW some of those games got "officially Licensed" is beyond me. There are those who yearn for having a "Complete Collection" of a particular system, and because Atari never really had ANY STANDARDS, as to what constituted an actual "Atari 2600/5200/7800" video game I do not really look at games that came out by mom and pop companies that made 20-50-100 game runs that only sold in the North East of the United States as being "MUST HAVES" for your collection to be considered "Complete" Am I a serious collector? FUCK NO, but I do believe that my argument isn't "Invalid"I think there are a number of people who ARE serious collectors that would look at these types of games as not really being needed for a collection to be complete. (again Atari collectors might) but even Atari collectors know that because Atari letting just anyone make games for their systems, NOBODY in the history of the world is ever going to have a complete collection because 20 years from now somebody will find a Atari 2600 game that nobody has ever seen or heard of and has no idea as to where it came from. it would like trying to collect a complete set of board games, (not a collection of board games from a specific company) but a complete collection of every board game ever made, it would basically be impossible, so why try for a complete collection is you know going in that it is basically impossible?Even if Bill Gates decided he wanted to be the first person on Earth to have a complete Atari 2600 collection, he has the money but he would fail because there are games out there that people do not even know exist because the makers of the game only ever made 20 copies of the game, only sold 7 of them and all the copies are now gone (sitting at the bottom of a land fill)

@@tbirum Atari didn't let anyone make games quite the opposite. In fact even Activision games on the Atari aren't licensed and they were sued by Atari. A reason Activision never supported later Atari consoles. A lot of commercially sold games from third party publishers for the 2600 used hacked carts and second hand dev units that accidentally made their way on to the market. Atari initially wanted complete control over all games.

OK normally I hate doing "Copy and Paste" but I think a bit of clarification is in order. -----------------> Activision - the good guys In what would lead to another defining moment in the video game industry, in 1979 a number of disgruntled Atari employees left the company to form their own - Activision - with the vision of crediting and promoting game developers along with the titles they developed, contrary to the policy of Atari. Ironically, this is rather contradictory to the treatment Activision Blizzard currently subjects it employees to (if you believe the media reports). Activision created a number of popular titles for the Atari 2600 console, and many were even more popular than original Atari titles. These titles helped increase sales of the 2600 but even so, Atari decided to sue Activision. Atari eventually lost the case in 1982, and the concept of the third party developer was born. So I think a lot of the lawsuit stemmed from the fact that "Activision" was largely made up of former Atari employees and they likely used a lot of the (lets call them "tricks of the trade") that they learned while working at Atari.If you hire 50 people to develop games for your company and then 4 years later 15 of them quit and start their own company and start making games that can be played on your Proprietary gaming console you might sue them as well. Anyway I am not saying you are wrong, but i think this sheds a bit more light on the whole Atari wanting to control who makes games for their system and why. Again when a portion of your work force decides to start their own company to compete with you using the knowledge you taught them, I think most people would have sued to keep creative control over your game system. And lets not forget, the video game crash of 1983, was due largely in part to a ton of shit games flooding the market with zero quality control.

@@tbirum oh no I was just stating that even most retail Atari games aren't official because Atari was asses. I was actually making a case that you're right it's impossible to tell because we don't know who had actual dev kits and who didn't because there was so much cart tapering its impossible to tell
