A man finds an unopened 30-year-old video game in his attic

The lucky guy's name is Scott Amos and he's found a Nintendo game in his attic from 30 years ago and it's sealed in perfect condition

Scott Amos, a man from Nevada, is the graceful man who found a sealed game in perfect condition from 1987 belonging to Nintendo NES, the game is the "Kid Icarus" and it is almost impossible to find it in that state of conservation. Said game also came out for the Famicom Disk System. Scott Amos, at first, thought that the game could sell for a couple of hundred dollars, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is estimated that the game can be sold for $10 through an online auction.

Valarie McLeckie, director of video game consignment at Heritage Auctions, says it is one of the most difficult Nintendo titles to find in that condition, sealed and in perfect condition. She says there are fewer than 10 in the hands of vintage game collectors. Which will make the auction reach the aforementioned figure. Not bad considering that the game once cost $ 38,45.

The title is a cult game of which there are very few copies in perfect condition like that of Scott Amos

Finding an unopened copy 'in the wild', so to speak, not to mention one in such good condition and with such a well-documented origin, is practically a historical event,” said Valarie McLeckie. Additionally, the game received a rating of 8 out of 10 on Wata Gemes, a service dedicated to rating video games.

“I still remember the game. My neighbor had it. I remember it was hard, and I was never very good at video games,” he commented. “The whole family has tried to present a hypothesis. My mom thinks she put it in there and never took it out, and she ended up in the attic." On the other hand, Scott Amos had this to say: “I have an older sister. We're going to split the profits equally." "We're going on vacation to Disney World next month."

The game is loosely based on Greek mythology. It follows a Cupid-like protagonist named Pit, who attempts to rescue Palutena, the goddess of light, who is held captive by the evil Medusa.
