Yes we know the world is full of stupid people. And stupid people, for the most part (at least in the media these days) come from America. OK, and Ventersdorp and the ANCYL. But if there was one guy I’d shout, “GET OUT BUSTUD!!!” to it’d be the guy who bought Bandai’s Family Fitness Stadium Events on the NES for $41,300.
Look, I know it’s “REVOLUTIONARY CONSOLE” but “DON’T COME HERE WITH YOUR BRAINLESS TENDENCIES”. No game is worth a frikkin’ house! Okay, it’s time for a little math: The exchange rate at the moment is R7.35 to the US Dollar. So $41,300.00 = R303,399.88. Yes. R303,399.88. I thought people couldn’t get that dumb. But then I thought of these guys: If they had the cash they’d probably use it as toilet paper.
If you had R303,399.88, what would you spend it on? A down payment on a house? Maybe a sweet new ride? On this videogame? Are you on crack?
If you are that dumb go bid here. Or if you have a lot of cash to blow and don’t know what to do with it, email me and I’ll kindly forward you my banking details.
Games mean a lot to me, especially the games of yonder that coloured my childhood. I really don’t care how awesome Circus Charlie or Bomberman was (Both much better games than Family Fitness Stadium Events BTW), they’re simply not worth that kind of cash. Ever. Not In a gazzilion years. Unless you’re Julius Malema and it’s a revolutionary game with awesome tendencies of course.
