Game&Watch @ gamescom 2012

The MEGA – Museum of Electronic Games & Art (http://www.m-e-g-a.org) – is at the gamescon 2012, August 15th to August 19th 2012, in Cologne (Köln), Germany (http://www.gamescom.de). Beside other games they show all 60 Game&Watch Games!

gamescom is Europe's epicenter for games and gamers. The entire industry will be presenting itself not only to the general public at the trade fair, but also to trade visitors in particular.

Most expensive Game ever for USD 15'000.00?

Some of you might remember the special Green House that was sold over three years ago for about USD $4700.00 (more information here...). Very expensive you might think, but regarding its rarity the price is decent.

Does the same count for the following game? On June 26th a Mickey Mouse from the Panorama Screen Series was sold on eBay. End price was USD $15'000.00!

The game is factory sealed and obviously worth a lot of money to the buyer. A quick research in the Game&Watch database shows, that in June 2011 a Panorama Mickey Mouse was sold for USD $3205.13 (view) – that was the most expensive game the database holds (the Green House mentioned earlier is not in the database).

What will be next? Will the USD $15'000.00 ever get topped? Let's wait and see! Thanks to our member mr_byte,who reported this auction.
