20 grand for 6 minutes of gameplay??

I enjoy a good video game, usually for my Xbox 360. I never had an original Nintendo or Super Nintendo when I was young. My first system was the Nintendo 64. I can remember playing Goldeneye every weekend with my best friend at the time. Games since then have gotten much more intricate, for lack of a better word. They have also gotten more expensive, $60 for a game in my opinion is much too high and on top of that, these companies release downloadable content for their games for even more money!

Today I stumbled upon the list of the highest price video games out there. Most of them make the list because they have become extremely hard to find since their releases back in the early 90s. The most expensive on on the list is Nintendo Campus Challenge for NES. This game is worth an estimated $20,100!! Now this is mainly because there is only one known to exist right now, but the part that makes me laugh is that it only has 6 minutes of gameplay. After your 6 minute time limit is up, you have to stop playing and start over. It has 3 games on the cartridge, Super Mario 3, Dr. Mario and Pinbot. Perhaps someone has another copy of this game laying around in a box up in a dusty attic waiting to be found; furthermore, I guess I can't complain about $60 for almost 100 hours of gameplay in some games when this game has 6 minutes for over $20,000.
