NES - Battletoads - Sealed eBay Auction
July 28, 2008 - 11:31 pm - Posted by Sean R.
In an era that was enamored with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tradewest’s Battletoads turned out to be a game with perfect timing.
This is an amazing find, Battletoads for the Nintendo Entertainment System, factory sealed on eBay:
Easily one of the best examples of how to rip-off a more popular license only to exceed the original inspiration in terms of quality, Battletoads is still considered by many to be one of the best side-scrolling beat ‘em up actioners of all time.
As not only were the graphics amazing and the challenges high, but the game had plenty of personality too.
Though it spawned a Game Boy port and three sequels for the NES and SNES systems, none of them ever approached mindless perfection as closely as this Rare-developed original.
If you want to shell (no pun intended) out $199.99 USD, you can own this beauty if you want to use the buy it now feature on the eBay auction.
It’s a little… well ok, REALLY pricey for me, so I’ll just stick to enjoying my unboxed version which is in mint condition:
All I need now is to track down an instruction manual for my copy and I’ll be happy.
And now to go play a quick game of Battletoads before calling it a night.
