Blockbuster World Video Game Championship II

[rbudrick]

Please make no confusion here: the II on the cart refers to the Competition (second competition).
The carts used and made officially for the tournament were this Genny cart and the DK one for SNES. This for sure, since is told on the rules booklet.

The infamous BWVGC I and III don't exist.

Instead, there could have been different games for demo plays, just like the NWC.

So for the first competition what did they use? If we already went over this and I didn't see it, sorry for being stupid or something.

For the first competition, as is clearly told in the event booklet (check your copy od Donkey Kong's one too, since it's the same), they have used:

NBA Jam
Sonic 3
Clay Fighter

The final round has been held in Fort Lauderdale.
Winners:
SNES-Mark Guinane
Genesis-Fred Dughty

Between the prizes, they have been "digitalized" to be put in the Sega CD game Super Strike Trilogy (unreleased?).

Wow, being digitalized for an unreleased game sounds like a great prize for a proto collector!!!!!

$2000.00?!??!!?!? Holy CRAP!

Hey DreamTR, about the prices, I thought I read that in an earlier post on DP about the Blockbuster VGC... Course I could be way wrong... But... No one still answered the question, how much would one of these things go for today?

[DreamTR]

It's hard to say what it would go for. There are a handful of collectors that would pay $1500 on the spot for the game, I am sure of that. As far as rarity, it is nearly impossible to locate, and since the two confirmed ones are in collector's hands, it's not going to be possible to see what it would go for on running auction until someone puts one out there.

There are not too many Genesis collectors, and this definitely does not have the lore behind it like the NWC. Rarity does not always equate to value. I think as a running auction, no reserve, it would hit $1200-1600 MAX.

Well Sh!t Howdy! Somebody dig me up one of those collectors! I'll sell them MINE! As much as I'd hate to part with it, I could use the money!

Just to be clear, I would have never sold it if I didn't need money for my engagement ring to Achika (who some of you know, some of you don't). That being said, the high asking price wasn't desired; it was needed.
