Remember back in June, when someone picked up a copy of the Nintendo World Championships gold cartridge off eBay for the low, low price of $17,500? Only twelve copies of that game had ever surfaced.
Now, a Nintendo Campus Challenge 1991 cart has surfaced on the popular auction site.
This is the last existing copy in the world. The auction ends in two days.

I have always been a Sega fanboy. My first console was the almighty Sega Mega Drive (Genesis for all you Yanks out there), and since then I have drooled over – if not owned – every Sega system that followed.
While I didn’t realize it at the time, I have always been fond of fantastical RPGs, despite my distaste for turn-based fighting systems. Sega was unable to provide me with enough role-playing fodder, and I wasn’t of legal age to start laboring for console-purchasing-cash. So, instead, I had to rely on relatives for my lengthy forays into the world of Nintendo RPGs. And it was there that I fell in love with a little developer known as Square.

Another week, another piece of tasty nostalgic pie to stuff down your throat and satisfy those occasional cravings.
Why buy a SNES on eBay when you can just spend 30 seconds watching an Ad?
You read that right, this is not a fault of the emergency broadcast system. A group of loyal, and clearly somewhat obsessive, fans have recreated various parts of Monkey Island 2 utilising the Cryengine level editor.

Vandal Hearts has to be one of the goofiest experiences I’ve ever had with a video game. As a strategy RPG, it’s competent, but nothing really stands out about it.
The story, on the other hand, is ridiculous, filled with the most absurd dialogue you can imagine. It also might hold the world record for the most usage of Deus Ex Machina I’ve ever seen in a narrative. Read more… »
Following last week’s bizarre and frankly nightmare-inducing taste of the olden days, Gamer Limit is back with a new ad for your viewing pleasure. Although, by new, we clearly mean horrendously old. Read more… »
For the sixth time in history, a new Pac-Man world record has been achieved. Since Billy Mitchell achieved the perfect score on Namco’s classic title ten years ago, four other gamers have stepped up to the plate and earned the title of “Fastest Pac-Man High Score Getting Dude”.
Well, now Ohio native David Race has the honor of being the fastest gamer to complete a perfect score in Pac-Man.
[Every Thursday, Gamer Limit gives you a blast from the past with either its Retro Reunion or Bargain Bin series]
It’s a sad truth that some of the best games ever made never really manage to sell a lot of copies. These diamonds in the rough eventually find themselves sitting in the bottom of bargain bins all across the world, waiting for some lucky soul to pick them up and discover their true greatness. One of these games is the highly acclaimed Beyond Good and Evil.
Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier Studios and released back in November of 2003 for PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, and PC; BG&E was hailed by critics as one of the best games of the year. Unfortunately, it did not resonate well with the public and posted horrible sales figures, quickly dropping off the charts into oblivion. Since then, the title has garnered a cult following of beloved fans who adore both the game, and its incredible cast of characters.

Do you remember back in the days when gaming was a simpler time? You went to the shop, bought a cartridge, came home and played? Any gamer would be lying if they said a little bit of them didn’t yearn for those golden years.
Nostalgia is important. We here at Gamer Limit know this, and, well, we’re here to help. We’ve managed to get our hands on a exclusive cache of original, recorded, gaming advertisements from the US, Japan, Australia, and even a couple of obscure or banned ones too.
Every Thursday we’ll upload a new one for your viewing pleasure, thus giving you, if only for about 30 seconds, a little visual taste of the past.
