A sealed cartridge of The Legend Of Zelda for the old Nintendo NES console has sold for a world record sum of US$870,000 (RM3.64mil), auction house Heritage Auctions said in a statement Friday.
The cartridge, dated to 1987, is still in its original packaging and trumps the previous world record sale of a video game – US$660,000 (RM2.76mil) for a 1986 Super Mario Bros cartridge sold in April – according to the auction house. The game was the “masterpiece” in a sale of 443 lots that runs until Sunday, Eric Bradley, spokesperson for the Dallas-based company, told AFP.
