    I actually had the M.U.S.C.L.E. figure of that guy with the pyramid on his head when I was a kid. It was my favorite.v

    One of the worst? Far from it! I remember beating up friends with this game, mashing buttons to try and get those elusive throw moves no one knew how to pull off by accident, use the masked guy because he was an automatic win, and...


    ...on retrospect, it may not have been such a good game after all.

    I remember the toys. It was $2 or so for 6 of 'em, I think. They weren't posable. They just looked weird. What a strange phenomenon.

    So is it expensive for being the rarest, or worst game on the NES? If the latter, I'll stockpile on Superman 64 right now and sell them after they destroy the others.

    @NeonLight: Definitely for being the rarest. You think anybody actually takes these things out of the box?


    It's just like how Planet Joker is super-expensive on the Saturn, even though it sucks horribly. (However, I actually do want to play that game. It's like watching "Plan 9 from Outer Space"... there's some things that are so bad, it's hilarious.)

    @Kobun: It still comes on? If so, somehow I've managed to never see a full episode, despite instantly recognizing the guy on this Famicom box.


    Stuff like this is cool to me... I'm a nostalgia guy. Kind of gets me excited for that rare Goodwill find (We've got a Goodwill Computer store near where I live that still stocks a lot of NES, Genesis & Atari games. It's the only place).

    @McWhammer: It doesn't come on anymore as far as I know. :( I want to say it went off the air maybe 2-3 years ago in the U.S. where it got picked up by 4Kids' Saturday morning block.

    @Pornosaur: No, clearly he means that the game was paid for in full entirely with 100-yen coins. That's the only logical conclusion I can come up with, at least. And by logical, I mean that's what I do if I had that much money kicking around and a hankering for rare, mediocre Famicom titles.

    @Thomas James: Give smartass answers all you want, but that was a reasonable question. This was an online auction and a lot of times there are articles about something being sold online for a ridiculous amount only to have someone backout of the deal a few days later.

    Where do they include the roughly seven trillion dollars they make selling Idolm@ster DLC. And that's just a conservative estimate based on each item only being bought once.
