90's LARA CROFT MANNEQUIN It stops below the torso, so technically
it should be called a "bust" -- but why

out, did you?

SYPHON FILTER 3: ORIGINAL
VERSION Sony once had a
game with a level where you learned how to fly
planes into buildings to destroy them,
mass-printed and ready to ship....on September

GRAY MAJORA'S MASK DEMO CART Nintendo published a demo version of
Majora's Mask for stores to run in N64 kiosks.
The majority of them had gold-colored cartridges,
just like the retail versions. This one,
however, is gray. The rare gray carts contain the
demo from the E3 version of the game, and display
many differences, making them even more valuable
Looks like someone ripped the
label, though....to remove the "NOT FOR
RESALE" notice because he thought he
couldn't sell it otherwise. Silly guy
eBay Price: $375

NTDEC PIRATE CARTRIDGE It's made by Nintendo -- Nintendo
Electronic Co., that is, a Taiwanese outfit that
was eventually sued to death for use of the

piracy, and they even tried selling them in the
US, where they gained a higher chance of being
caught (and were)
Has a green "QUALITY
GUARANTY" stripe on the back

ATARI JAGUAR CAT BOX The Jaguar was so awesomely 64-bit
high-tech, it only had an RF port. If you wanted
it connected to your TV with a clearer picture
than the 2600, you had to buy a separate
peripheral
And yes, they called it the
"Cat Box." Perfect metaphor, right?
The only way this could have a
worse name is if they added an extra letter and
called it the "Scat Box" -- which is
what ATARI'S OFFICIAL VERSION was called
eBay Price: $250
