An unopened copy of Super Mario Bros., the classic video game released by Nintendo in 1985, set a world record for a graded game when it recently sold for $100,150.

"Beyond the artistic and historical significance of this game is its supreme state of preservation," says Kenneth Thrower, co-founder and chief grader of Wata Games.

This has become quite the "talk" over at Nintendo Age!  You do have to wonder how three people will share the game.

With that much money involved you have no idea how people will act. I sure wouldn't want to be in that situation!

I'd sneak into the bank vault (or wherever they'd agree to keep it), rip it open and play it. Then post the video on YT and send the other 2 owners links via email(http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/SaturnRVG/Misc/Emoticons/laugh_zpsqfgqldgz.png)
