Only English Final Fantasy 2 NES Cartridge On Sale for $50K

Posted by samzenpus on from the perfect-gift dept.

Croakyvoice writes "In what seems to be the 'in thing' at the moment comes another auction to add to last month's Zelda NES auction and that crazy million dollar collection. This time, for RPG fans, this could be classed as the Holy Grail of NES games. The game in question is Final Fantasy 2, which was never released outside of Japan, but luckily for the person who at this time is selling this on eBay for 50K, there was one made for the 1991 Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas by SquareSoft. Sadly, the U.S. version never had a release because they decided to work on the Super NES instead."

    Before Square burnt up every bit of affection the general public had for the name "Final Fantasy".

      I'm too old for nintendo power (there was no Atari Power).
      However I did enjoy final fantasy 1 and 4 (or 1 and 2 as i knew them.)

    I have this copyrighted chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's the only copy written in English. Because you know it's not possible to make another copy of it.

    A screenshot of the game shows the status screen for a character that has been killed. It simply reads: "GUY DEAD"

    I don't think anyone will give you shit for collecting vinyl records, as long as you're not one of those nutters who claims they are better at reproducing sound than a properly mastered CD. "Vinyl collector" does not necessarily equal "Vaccine-shunning, astrology-believing, $5,000-power-cable-buying, moon-landing-denying audiophile."
