SUPER MARIO ADVANCE MINT
IN-BOX And when they say
in box, they mean so in the box that it
never even left the cardboard it was shipped in.
There are six untouched copies of Super Mario
Advance, circa 2001, inside.
Or are there? If you want to
keep it perfect, you'll never know if it's GBA
launch games or if you were swindled into buying
a box of rocks.
Probably made an excellent
conversation piece for the collector who
purchased it. "And this is my rare, prized,
unopened collector's cardboard box."
"Oooooh, it's so brown!"
eBay Price: $187.51

| CHRONO CROSS DESK CLOCK Was part of the Japanese press kit for

MATTEL POWER GLOVE
ADVERTISMENT IN REEL FORM Presumably
only playable on 1990-era TV station equipment

Glove ad can look
Everything else is just child's
play
eBay Price: $75

| NINTENDO FUN CLUB RAD RACER
3-D GLASSES Rad Racer
came with flimsy cardboard glasses, these are not
those
Those who obeyed the words of
Doc Louis got a special offer in Nintendo Fun
Club #4 that allowed them to send in their Rad
Racer UPCs in exchange for sturdier plastic 3-D
glasses
Keep in mind if you ever want
to pay this much for Rad Racer glasses: the 3-D
in Rad Racer doesn't even work
eBay Price: $174.99
FUN FACTOID: there was an
episode of Human Target where some
random kid was wearing 3-D glasses for no reason

RARE PROTOTYPE FOR CANCELLED
PS1 GAME BASED ON "YOUNGBLOOD" Not the 1980's Rob Lowe movie, the Rob
Liefeld 1990's property
Also included: 25 issues of

under the last comic). Seller claimed you needed
a developer's kit to view the game. Sounds legit
This has to be the only way he
could sell these comics at all
eBay Price: $799.99
It's been put up twice with
no bids (at the same price)

| SONY PS1 PROTOTYPE
KEYBOARD/MOUSE ADAPTOR WHERE
was this when I was making that lengthy RPG Maker game?

shut by 1998. Shame

RARE SEGA DREAMCAST GD-ROM
BURNER The Sega Dreamcast
used a disc media of their own invention called
the GD-ROM, which held 1 GB of
information...hence, it stood for "Giga
Disc." A GD-ROM holds slightly more than a
CD yet only 1/4 as much as a DVD
Whoever bought this evidently
didn't know Dreamcasts take burned CDs too, and
that most Dreamcast games didn't equal 1GB
exactly, meaning they will fit onto a CD
Plus, good luck finding blank
GD-Rs, buddy
eBay Price: $268

| TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE
VARIANT OF THE NES Are
you wondering why you never spotted this at the
store and begged for it as an 8-year-old? You
probably didn't live in the UK, because only the
English got it
Therefore, this is actually a
Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles NES Variant
You got the better pack-in with
Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt anyway. Those were not
happy Brits on Christmas morning, trying furtively
to squeeze between electric water weeds
eBay Price: $500

APF IMAGINATION MACHINE From 1978, one of the rarest systems
ever made, due to its high cost turning people

rarer
Probably the only complete set
you'll ever see
