There was a point at time when you could get Super Mario’s Bros for a penny. They had so many copies it was just valueless. It was always funny cause we would always buy one just for the thrill of paying $0.01
And nowadays, Billy Jim Bob Arbuckle at the table at the flea market sticks his thumbs in his belt and insists, "I get $40 for them Mario tapes." Which, inevitably, he does not.
I wonder if Pat the NES Punk ever managed to make that coffee table out of Mario/Duck Hunt cartridges. As the pack-in title, there are surely more copies of it left in the world than there are working machines to play it on. For instance, I have six damn copies of it.
