[@m31t51]

​@@chrismeulen8108 and before Stadium Events the game was originally launched as "Running Stadium" in Japan for the Famicom. These games are basically no different from each other, so they are only cartridge shape/color/label variants with a different title screen. The original Famicom cart can be bought loose for 40 bucks (used to go a lot cheaper before), the late WCTM "variant" for $5, but the mid-label/title screen "holy grail" for tens of thousands. Why? Because it's ultra-rare and super-elusive? It's the same fucking game all along. Every "version" of it was designed to play with a family trainer/power pad/family fun fitness, no difference whatsoever. All "variants" aside this game is common as hell. Nobody shoud pay more that 5-10 bucks for any of them.

I saw him fake interest in buying a really rare console off of another collector at a convention so he could get footage of the rare consoleHe said he needed to get some more cash and would be right back.

But you will never have the nostalgia us kids who were born in the 70s , and grew up in the 80s You are excited about finding these games, but you will never experience nor miss the feeling of digging through a $5 bin of sealed clearance NES games at Kaybee toys in 1988 -1990 ( you were in diapers while we were experiencing this) Y’all can call me negative, but ricks prime gaming era was 1997-2002.

I used it myself when we played it once. It was pretty fun once or twice, but made you sweat lol. I'm not sure if it was something that came with the game or was some licensed or unlicensed unique controller. I beleive it came with the game.

People should check out the Raynam Flea market in Raynam, MA. There are to be dozens of vintage game dealers and booths there. Only on Sundays.

There's nothing painful about this. I have secondhand excitement to see you collect your final games!
