4 Of The Rarest Games Out There

Video games nowadays are pretty popular, so popular that some people around the world are willing to give up a lot of dough to get their hands on some vintage games from the past. Here are some video games that are very costly, to say the least.

You know ET the extra-terrestrial has to be on this list because, in terms of vintage games, it's a must-have. If you don't know the story behind this game here's a little rundown. This game was an absolute flop for Atari and an even bigger one for the designer: Howard Scott Warshaw. In the game, the player controls E.T. and goes around collecting cell phone pieces to try to contact home. Here's the catch though. An FBI agent follows you around and tries to kill you. That already sounded boring to begin with. Being such a massive failure for Atari they threw thousands of the games away, and only recently they have been recovered, they went on sale by the city they were in and have sold upwards of $40,000.

Up next we have the red sea crossing. This game was practically made in a garage, and for a game that's functional, unlike the previously stated game. Red Sea Crossing is just what you'd expect from its title: a game about Moses crossing the Red Sea after it is split into. The player has to dodge arrows from Egyptians, and a whole bunch of sea creatures. You may be asking yourself "Who would make a game in their garage, and sell copies of a religious game?". Well, it was found that a man named () created the game for religious reasons as for he was a Christian. The game can be played on an Atari 2600 and sold at $10,400.

Air Raid is a one of a kind video game for the early '80s, as the company who made it, Man-A-vision, only produced this one game. The point of the game: to rack up the highest score you can get. It reminds me of space invaders as aircraft come downwards from the screen and you have a limited time till the destroy bases. Yeah, that's right, buildings need to be protected in the game, and you typically have three enemies on the screen at once. The price for one of these bad boys is currently around $2,100.

Nintendo's World Championship 1990 is quite possibly the best one on this list as it physically made you lose calories rather than have your thumbs do all the work for you. "No," says Nintendo, they wanted something that could immerse players into the game. Just kidding, obviously, a great big company like this probably wouldn't go this far. Instead, Nintendo had championships around the world so players could compete with one another. Yeah, apparently Esports has been around a long time. In this game which had a cartridge, gold being an even rarer form of the game, and a gray cartridge that both were played on the NES. A pad matched the player's steps which would have an input for the game. A whole video on this here: The game sells for around $15,000.
