Gallery: Gallery: Crazy Collectibles From PAX East Retrogame Roadshow
unknown01videogame-roadshow-panelists
The panelists check out Nintendo [Game & Watch LCD games](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_%26_Watch), brought in by audience member Tara M. The portable games were Nintendo's first hit in the early 80's. Tara's copies of Donkey Kong II, Super Mario Bros. and Mickey Mouse typically sell for between $40-50 each.

A capacity crowd of over 1,000 PAX East attendees packed the theater to watch the "Videogame Antiques Roadshow" panel.
unknown03ginga-fukei-densetsu-sapphire-pc-engine
Audience member Rui B. brought in two of his rare games for the PC Engine, the Japanese version of the [Turbografx-16 game console](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TurboGrafx-16). Kaze Kiri is a hard-to-find action game that typically sells for upwards of $100 in the mint condition of Barata's copy. Sapphire is significantly more rare, but Barata's copy turned out to be [one of a notorious batch of fakes](http://www.superpcenginegrafx.net/sapcomp1.html).
unknown04dracs-night-out-nes
Nate D. brought in an original prototype cartridge of the unreleased Nintendo Entertainment System game [Drac's Night Out](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drac%27s_Night_Out). Panelist Frank Cifaldi, who runs a website about unreleased games called [Lost Levels](http://www.lostlevels.org/), said that a "dumped" prototype -- one whose game data has been released to the internet at large -- like this would be worth hundreds of dollars, though not the thousands that an "undumped" one would fetch.
05power-glove
Audience member Grant W. brought a Power Glove controller in a vinyl carrying case. The [Power Glove](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove) itself, which lets players control a Nintendo Entertainment System game with hand movements, isn't that hard to find. But the case, which not even our panelists knew that much about, is. Mike Mika said that he had seen two such cases before, but that this was the first with the Power Glove emblem on the front still intact.
06power-glove-2
Panelist Frank Cifaldi tested that the Power Glove still worked properly by wrapping it around his coffee cup.
unknown07panzer-dragoon-saga
Eric C. brought in his copy of the rare Sega Saturn game Panzer Dragoon Saga. Condition is important with this highly sought-after role-playing game since three of the game's four discs shipped in flimsy paper sleeves that fit inside the jewel case. Eric's copy was in excellent shape, meaning that it would easily sell for over $200.
08raiden-project-misprint
Another game our panelists had an issue giving an exact value to because of its unique nature was this misprinted copy of Raiden Project for the PlayStation. Instead of the Japanese shooter game, the disc was printed with the data for another PlayStation game called Kileak. Mike Mika said that it is rare to find such games, since customers who found them usually immediately returned them to the maker. But the oddball nature of such a game meant it was quite difficult to assign it a value.
unknown09e-t
Possibly as a joke, audience member Rob F. brought in a copy of E.T. for the Atari 2600, one of the most worthless videogames in existence. Atari buried many unsold copies in a landfill.
unknown10king-james-bible-game-boy
The final audience member on stage was our special guest Dan Amrich, Activision's [One of Swords](http://oneofswords.com/) blogger. Amrich said he collects games that were the subjects of controversy, and to that end he brought in his copies of Bible Adventures and Spiritual Warfare, unlicensed Nintendo Entertainment System games produced by a religious company called [Wisdom Tree](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_tree). These games aren't worth much, but the rare gem of Amrich's library was his sealed copy of King James Bible for the Game Boy.
