It's a new song I'm writing. I don't have the music or a title nailed down yet, but I think it's pretty catchy.

Here's my inspiration:

A friend gave me one of these, and the 10 games I have for it, for free. He collects old computers and one of these was mixed in with a lot he had purchased. When I was off work after surgery he gave it to me as a get well soon gift. I bet he had no idea that it was worth that much.

That auction, including shipping, is actually 165$ cheaper than buying the one they have at a store near me. Still I'm not interested for now.

Why, oh God why, did you link that song ? I actually (regretingly) clicked on it. Pain ... misery ... ears bleeding ... head twitching.

It's quite amazing isn't it?

On a side note, that does appear to be a decent deal if you're into the pre-NES era.

Not anymore. He just raised his price, and apparently, instead of saving 400$ like before, now you save 500$! Logic!

Inflation is a hell of a thing.
