Tis could possibly be used for the final game for the omegathon.

it's the holy grail of nintendo collecting. the nintendo world championship cartridge. Well, the gold one is the holy grail...

there's i think 90 of these in existance. It could also double as part of the prize along with...

The entire SNES collection. We've seen entire NES collections, but this is the first time I've seen an SNES one.

Thoughts?

    Ah, so it's purely for collector's value. Might not be that good from a gamer's perspective, though.

    i said double it up with the ENTIRE SNES COLLECTION. IN BOX. Plus 74 factory sealed SNES games.

    So the final game during the omegathon, is the tournament cartridge. thent eh winner gets the carridge, as well as the SNES collection.

    Hell no. the controls used on that thing are a peice of shit. In order for alot of games to be near playable you woul dhave to replace them with Happ Parts. SO unless the person likes to solder contact points on arcade microswitches, no.

    yeah, i used to run the NES legion over on gamespot, so i'm well versed in the nwc cartridge. there are actually a few thousand of them, but we estimate probably only a thousand or so still in working order. it's a cartridge made solely for competitive purposes, pretty rad stuff, i've played a demo of it online.

    as awesome as more classic gaming stuff would be for the prize, i'm still holding out for the solid gold cast of khoo's penis!:lol:

    (brokenangel know what i'm talkin bout!)

    ...there are 116. 90 grey carts, and 26 gold ones. Grey carts were for semifinalists, gold carts for for the winners and runner ups. There were only a few thousand people who competed. If there were a few thousand, that would mean everyone who went to the thing got a cartridge.

    Thoughts?



    That nintendo cart is just too much $$$. Ya know, I'd like them to be as random as possible with the omegathon. I'd like to see a game of pure skill but a game of chance might be cool too.

    2 player verses is the best way to rock it. But since your on that note, It would be nice to run 2 players playing the same game and to give them 5 minutes and unlimited continues to see who gets the highest score.

    maybe force them to use the powerglove to handicap both of them :P

    Know what I want to prize to be but is a bad idea? My dream job in the video game industry. LOL I wanna be a Producer. ;) Because the person who wins it could already have a job or their dream job which is why it's a bad idea. >.<

    well, for that reason and the fact that whoever wins would extremely likely be completely incompetent to manage that job, and about a million other reasons.

    Wow, no need to snap about it, after all you did post a thread that already exists under a different name *cough*Omegathon Prize*cough*, and nobody gave you any shit about it.

    Maybe we should've. Eh boys?

    Tonight you'll be sleeping with the fishes. There's this lovely place right by the aquarium down by the docks and at the hotel there is a little aquarium in each room.

    Those numbers are quote from nintendo. they're the numbers on NESpit. They're the numbers on NES world. And they're the numbers from TSR.

    If there were thousands made, and only a few thousand people WENT to the event. I have the question to ask.

    Where the fuck is my cart from the event?

    That's disgusting and would make for a horrible prize.

    It should be silver. Gold is much too gaudy.
