There may be a fortune hiding in that dusty box of old video game cartridges.<\/p>\n

An original 1985 edition of \u201cSuper Mario Bros.\u201d for the Nintendo Entertainment System sold for a whopping $660,000 in Dallas Friday, smashing the world record for a single video game sale, according to Heritage Auctions, which handled the transaction.<\/p>\n

The unopened Nintendo video game is \u201cthe finest copy known to have been professionally graded for auction,\u201d the company said in a statement. The previous record video game sale was a paltry $114,000, set last July.<\/p>\n

The record-setting cartridge was purchased as a Christmas gift in 1986 then placed in a drawer and forgotten for 35 years, before it was found earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The names of the seller and the buyer were not released.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The video game] stayed in the bottom of my office desk this whole time since the day I bought it,\u201d the seller said in the Heritage Auctions release. \u201cI never thought anything about it.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
