og:image: nintendo world championship

It's well known that E3 has banned booth babes from their convention, but who would even look twice at them when we have the stunning specimen above to gawk at? The above 1990 Nintendo World Championship cartridge made its appearance in the Video Game Museum installation on display at this years E3, made possible by a variety of benefactors including Randy Pitchford from Gearbox Software.

Though not the fabled, and even more elusive Gold Cart, this grey cartridge represents one of only 90 in the world and was last sold in 2011 at a Childs Play Auction for $10,500. If you're in the market for the Gold edition, that'll run you about around $18,000. Star saving.

As for my experience, I was inches away, and could almost smell the foetid desire wafting off of it. Luckily a refurbished Lethal Enforcers cabinet distracted me for just long enough, allowing me to break away.

    My NES white whale is Little Samson ($500 loose). If I had this, I would immediately sell it for that, and some other pricey games like Ducktales 2.

    I actually have a reproduction cart of this... Worth anything?

    To think there is a possibility someone has sold something like this at a garage sale for pennies and not even thought twice about it...

    Oh man, I wouldn't have even looked twice at that crummy cart with Lethal Enforcers nearby.
