Old Nintendo system sells for $13,105

a deeply obscure 1987 release called Stadium Events, a highly sought-after collectors' item.

Amazing. There were only a handful of these made and sold for test marketing.. I think one went on sale a year ago, too.

Edit: Upon further research: Yeah, one sold last year going for nearly 200 dollars. The reason for the price difference was the national format. Last year's was a more common PAL version and the one that just recently sold was NTSC. I remember playing a game remarkably like this at a girl's house when I was very little, but the difference was that it was on the Power Pad which was a technology adopted from this game's controller. It was still a track and field game, but I suspect it was a wholly different game.

Roy, you had me thinking my NES lying on the floor here was worth more to me dead than alive. Thank goodness that is not the case.

Stadium Events...precursor to Wii Sports? Mario Party? The world may never know...
