The company said in a statement published by the New York Post that the video game that has not been opened is “the best version known to be professionally rated for auction”. The previous record-breaking video game sale was $ 114,000.
The game was first purchased as a Christmas gift in 1986 and then it was put in a drawer and forgotten for 35 years, before it was found earlier this year, to be sold again to a buyer whose name has not been revealed.
