Athletic World (sample game pak)

barkley · January 2008

I just bought Athletic World for the NES, this is what's on the sticker:
ATHLETIC WORLD
(PAL VERSION)

SAMPLE GAME PAK
BY BANDAI

I'll make a picture tonight. But the sticker looks like this one:

Does someone if this is something special, and what's it's value? I googled but found nothing about it.

Looks like a proto, but we won't know until we get a pic of the boards. where did you pick it up?

barkley · January 2008

I will take a picture when I'm home tonight.

Hard to say till we see the boards...maybe you got lucky and it is a proto, but more likely just a cart with the label ripped off or something.

Lets hope its a proto.

I'm 90% sure it's a proto. It has 5 screws instead of 3, and it's an other kind of screw. I'll post the pictures as soon I'm at home (probably 9-10PM).

can't stop laughing

Everything works here?

I can see the pics right in the thread.

barkley · January 2008

Nobody an idea of what it's worth?

NationalGameDepot · January 2008

I am not sure if it is a proto or not. I don't know enough about boards and stuff to tell all the time. Dreamtr, bunnyboy, or bootgod would prob be able to tell you if it is legit or not. If it is real it is worth around 100-150 USD.

if that really is a proto it has the best looking label i have ever seen...

a thing just came to mind, how often is the label on the front and how often on the back of the cart? i have seen many more with it on the back...

That's real. I offer $125 if you want to sell it. I don't have an Athletic World proto

I've been waiting for you to chime in Dream.. I've been wondering if that was legit or not..

Cool to hear it's a proto !

Nice addition to my collection. I'm not looking to sell it now, maybe later, I'll let you know.
