    Are you a collector of rare video game ephemera and weirdo hardware? Then today is your lucky day! A weathered, half-functional, and almost completely unknown piece of Nintendo history has surfaced on eBay, and right now the bidding is at a low, low $1250 (plus $400 shipping & handling).

    Computer Othello is one of Nintendo’s earliest productions, and their first arcade game. Like it says, it’s computer Othello, but the weird thing is that there were supposedly no US versions of this game made. And yet this one has a US power adapter installed originally. A rare bird indeed! Too bad it doesn’t work.
