A sealed copy of The Legend of Zelda for the NES dated late 1987 has sold for a world record $870,000 (around £625,000) at auction.
That figure comfortably beats the previous world record price for a video game, set by an unopened copy of Super Mario Bros. that went for $660,000 earlier this year.
Dallas, Texas-based Heritage Auctions said this cart is an early production copy of the first game in the Zelda series, and "is no doubt the apotheosis of rarity, cultural significance, and collection centerpieces".
