Description
Due to unforeseen circumstances I am forced to sell this highly coveted Nintendo Game. My loss can be your gain as I will probably never get my hands on another one.This is the Grey Nintendo World Championships 1990 (PowerFest '90) competition cartridge.For the competition, 116 special game cartridges were manufactured. 90 of these copies exist in a grey cartridge and were given out to semi-finalists of the 1990 NWC. 26 of these cartridges are gold - like the Legend of Zelda cartridge - and were given out to winners and runners-up in a contest held by Nintendo Power magazine. To play the cartridge, one must have a controller connected to both controller ports and press start on the second player's controller. For the competition, there was a special switch that would start all cartridges simultaneously. Both versions of the cartridge feature DIP switches on the front, which can alter the time limit. The Nintendo World Championships 1990 game cartridge is considered to be the rarest and most valuable NES cartridge released, promo cartridges aside, and the gold variation is nicknamed the holy grail of video game collecting. Officially, a player has six minutes and 21 seconds to play in the contest, which is divided up into three minigames. The first minigame of the competition is to collect 50 coins in Super Mario Bros. The next minigame is a version of Rad Racer where players must complete a specialized Nintendo World Championship course. The final minigame is Tetris and this lasts until time expires. Once time does expire, a player's score is totaled using the following formula: Super Mario Brothers score+ Rad Racer score times 10+ Tetris score times 25 Most players focused their tactic on getting a high score in Tetris while other players tried to exploit a trick in Super Mario Brothers where a part of the game can be played repeatedly using warp pipes.The above information was found on wikipedia.The discoloration on the cart is normal based on age and they type of glue they used for the label. Pretty much all of these carts have similar discoloring. This cart is especially rare because the person I bought it from, bought it from Mike Iarossi, who played in the Nintendo World Championships. He is the one who got First Place in the Powerfest '94 and was declared the Nintendo World Champion.In addition to that I am also including a very rare newspaper that was handed out for the competition. Not to many of these still exist today.This game is in perfect working order and has been tested on my Nintendo.If you do a google search for Nintendo world championship you will see how rare this actually is.Good Luck!feedback will be left after positive feedback is received.Signature confirmation and insurance required shipping charges will be actual.
