Collecting vintage video games is a popular hobby among enthusiasts. Games from past console eras, especially when they are still in their original packaging and in excellent condition, can command high prices in auctions. The discovery of a significant collection of pristine video games in Nebraska has garnered excitement among collectors.
Gameroom, a company specializing in reselling video game hardware and software in Nebraska, was alerted to a remarkable find at a local storage facility. Upon inspection, they stumbled upon a treasure trove of untouched inventory from a defunct game retailer dating back to the mid-90s. The storage unit was brimming with sealed, boxed editions of SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, 3DO, and Sega CD games, along with various unsold sports games.
