Absolutely insane. I am not sure why anyone would care to buy this. The game was made for atari by an independent person. The game was not even known to exist until someone bought it at a yardsale in 2007 and verified that it was real. I do get paying more money if someone found the original game disk from the company (like the test copy) for a popular game – and by more money I mean maybe $100 to a huge fan. But 10k on a game that no one will ever play and no one even knew existed?

University of Michigan has a computer and video game museum?
This is awesome. They have over 3,000 games and 35 different consoles. I would love to take a visit.
A professional gamer’s view on gaming
This is a pretty good article I saw posted on CNN yesterday. It walks through the life of a teenage professional gamer in South Korea and highlights his desire to win, his obsession, and how he finds time to dedicate to playing games at a professional level.
So what is professional gaming? Well for those that do not know there is a Major League of Gaming (MLG). They host tournaments across the world for several of the most popular games where players compete for cash prizes.
The interesting thing about professional gaming is that not many people outside the gaming world know about it. For instance, this kid in the article posted above is making over 100k a year. The other kid they mention, who is one level above the kid is making 250k a year. Not bad salaries for a teenager in South Korea. On top of cash prizes at contests these kids become famous in the game world. They get real sponsors, sign autographs, etc. Just like a movie star or athlete.
Anyway, that my blurb on professional gaming for today. Check out the article I posted above its a decent read for those who do not know much about the topic.
Free Super Nintendo Android App
This app is awesome. You can download any super nintendo game and play it right on your phone. And its free. There is a paid version for a few dollars that has some extra features and it seems worth it but thus far I am finding this app very enjoyable.

A systematic literature review of empirical evidence on computer games and serious games
A very good article in Computers and Education which analyzes the empirical evidence from the gaming and learning literature, as well it does a betting comparation in with diferents website you check this at https://bettingcompare.co.uk.
Abstract
This paper examines the literature on computer games and serious games in regard to the potential positive impacts of gaming on users aged 14 years or above, especially with respect to learning, skill enhancement and engagement. Search terms identified 129 papers reporting empirical evidence about the impacts and outcomes of computer games and serious games with respect to learning and engagement and a multidimensional approach to categorizing games was developed. The findings revealed that playing computer games is linked to a range of perceptual, cognitive, behavioural, affective and motivational impacts and outcomes. The most frequently occurring outcomes and impacts were knowledge acquisition/content understanding and affective and motivational outcomes. The range of indicators and measures used in the included papers are discussed, together with methodological limitations and recommendations for further work in this area.
Parents: What you need to know about video games in the classroom
Here is a great link from Wow in school that highlights a bunch of good resources for parents who are concerned about a ‘video’ game being used in their childs classroom. Even my undergrads just think video games are ‘mindless’ entertainment until I show them how games can be used to promote all types of learning objectives while motivating the students. Anyway here is the link: http://wowinschool.pbworks.com/w/page/5268739/Parental%20Involvement

Very good TED video on gaming from a 13 year olds perspective:
Local teachers use website for teachers to ask for funding for gaming lab
Local Wilmington NC teachers (well really Pender county) are using the website Kickstarter to ask for funding for various technology projects (video game lab) they are doing in schools. I think this is an excellent way to inform the public about what projects we are doing and gives them the opportunity to support various projects in our schools. The website is kickstarter, check it out. To get to the local projects I am speaking of from West Pender Middle’s potential video game lab, visit the Kickstarter page at kickstarter.com/discover. Then, type “Warrior Gaming Lair” in the search field.
Here is a recent newspaper article about the programs in my area asking for funding: http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20120623/ARTICLES/120629866/1177?p=1&tc=pg&tc=ar
