Recently on EBAY an interesting auction has appeared out of nowhere.. What is being claimed as a truly one of a kind Final Fantasy II NES Demo/Sample has appeared for the asking price of 50,000.
The owner claims that this is only REAL copy in the world of this lost game.
As most of you are no doubt aware, the original version of Final Fantasy II was never released in the United States. This particular cartridge was put together by the fine folks at Square Soft USA (a very small company at the time) to display at the 1991 Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The plan was to release the game later that year, but instead, Square scrapped its 8-bit NES plans to focus on the new 16-bit Super Nintendo.
If this is indeed a legit copy of this game, then it will indeed surpass some of the most rare and valuable titles in NES history including the Nintendo world Championships which has long been considered the holy grail on NES collecting.
