Is this game really factory sealed?

[Rik]

Hi,i just recieved a supposedly sealed game today,TOWER TOPPLER for the 7800.It looked pretty legit as a factory sealed game,but after opening it and putting the game in the machine,i noticed that high scores were posted with peoples initials,looks like i discovered a way to see whether or not a factory sealed game is legit,or were the initials done at factory,shouldnt high scores be blank on a new game?

With the exception of the High Score Cartridge, 7800 games didn't have any way of storing high scores in the cartridge itself, so if there are entries on the high score table, it's because they were preprogrammed in and not because the cartridge had been played before. Factory-sealed Tower Topplers are still pretty easy to find, so yours is probably legit.

Except for Jinks. Jinks must have been made for some other unknown purpose and then mistakenly packaged as a video game.

I believe they used a large number of NIB Jinks stock to plug the smoking hole that was the Chernobyl reactor.

Jinks is a Nintendo game. It was released for the 7800 in an effort to sabotage Atari's console. I know this, because I, too, peeled off the labels and saw the gray cart and the Nintendo seal of "lack of quality" underneath the label.

 

Evidently it worked.

 

I hear there's a special code that you can enter and it'll make the paddle turn into Kirby and make the ball into a fireball.

Hey, with all those Jinks carts out there, at least we have a good supply of cases for 7800 homebrews. I don't think many people would be that upset.

Games are meant to be played, that's why you buy them in 3's.

 

One to open to play.

 

One to show off in your display and NEVER open or sell sometime.

 

One to keep hidden away somewhere safe for 30-40 years in mint condition NEVER OPENED and then just sell it if you really need money or pass it on to your kids or other family.

 

I'm going to start doing that with the PS3, Wii, and Xbox/360

 

We'll see in 25 years if that was a good idea.
