Heh, I can remember companies like McDonalds, Colgate and Purina making Atari cartridges. They’re extremely rare and worth a fortune. What did I have? 2 ET cartridges ;)

Awww crap. I had a Vectrex system with about 10 games, 2 controllers and the color cards to go over the screen. I sold it to a friend for 20 bucks around 1997.

Mental FLoss may want to include The Vectrex system game of Mr. Boston? Right now it’s on eBay at $3000.00 with plenty of time left to go.

The Atlantis II game reminds me that a couple of years ago, some guy was trying to sell his Atlantis II cartirdge on ebay.

Everyone thought he was nuts. Not because it was assumed a fake, but because he was asking 1.7 million dollars for it.

On January 8, 1994, Hayao Nakayama, then CEO of Sega, ordered his company to make a 32-bit cartridge based console that would be in stores by Christmas 1994. This would at first be named “Project Jupiter”

There is no such thing as a Sega Jupiter. The thing that was an all in one 32X & Genesis was codenamed “Neptune”, but again, it was never released.

And sorry Wayne, it doesn’t take a wiring genius to get a coax splitter.

I have 36 systems hooked up using a stack of philips component auto switchers. The only thing impressive about it is that all the AC adapters havent started a house fire at some point.

Several of the games on this list have sold for quite a bit more since the article was originally published.
