This story is really more geared for our wealthy oil tycoon readers, to tell the truth, however us smaller lifeforms (according to that tycoon) on the planet might be get a kick out of it as well. See, Ebay user sonyabscott is selling one HUGE NES collection consisting of every North American released game on the system, as well as the system and, finally, every accessory. That's 670 cartridges ...
If you won the auction, what would be the first game you'd play? For us, it'd be a close call between Bad Dudes (we're bad enough to save the President from ninjas, y'know) and Burgertime.

There are 675 licensed NES games in North America. A couple aren't on Nintendo.com's master list, but they definitely have the Seal of Quality. One is Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!, which was completely replaced by the regular Punch-Out!. Also, when Nintendo was suing Tengen and ordered them to stop making licensed games, the judge ruled that they still had the license until the trial was over. So Tengen spit out 3 games really fast before they lost and got sued into oblivion. So Nintendo was pissed and pretends those games didn't happen, so they're not on Nintendo.com's master list either, but they were licensed by Nintendo according to the law, and they have the Seal of Quality on them.
So this nerd's missing 5 games.
I've got 300 NES cartridges and haven't spent $1,000. For every game that costs $20 there are 6 or 7 that cost $1 OR LESS. This auction shouldn't even be getting $5,000.
