      I'd love to see a 4K release of The Wizard which I've been dying to watch lately.  I don't know if it's been 35 years, but it's definitely been a minute.

      Does Spielberg still have these? Has it been confirmed that these actually exist, or are they just some sort of urban legend?

      I respectfully disagree with your opinion here. I never participated in the NWC (for context I was three years old when I first started playing NES, was four in 1990 and my older brother is on the spectrum so something like the NWC we never even learned about until years later), but when I first heard about the event, probably around 1998, I was amazed. I saw photographs, and the whole thing just clicked with me, it felt like something I would have liked to be a part of. Sadly, such hype and promotion just doesn't occur anymore, well it didn't really occur back in 1998 either. It's sort of like how my grandmother attended the world's fair, and the things she saw and remembered from then. I would have loved to do that too, but sadly we just don't do things like that anymore, at least not on such a memorable scale with all the hype and pomp and circumstance. So that's why I chose the NWC. I'd likely prefer the gray version tbh. I'll most likely never be able to afford one, and even if I could, unless I were super rich, I doubt I'd ever feel the desire to drop that sort of cash on a single shelf piece, as I'd rather go on holiday or something. That being said, it is a cartridge that I've wanted for decades, and I think it is safe to say that this cartridge means more to me than just something that is cool or trendy, as I was into this stuff way before that even became a driving force.

      I own a ton of bootleg games, but to contrast it and put it into perspective a bit, I also own more or less a licensed Famicom full set, as well as over half of a Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) full set. Yes, I will play my bootleg games and official versions interchangeably, Super Mario Bros. is Super Mario Bros. and I am not getting fussed whether I play a real one or a fake one when I own both, well I likely own ten or fifteen copies. That being said, it is a very rare occasion where I play a bootleg game of which I don't also own an original. That's part of the reason that I had the foresight to go for a complete Famicom full set back in 2014 or so, just to respect the developers and companies that made the games that I love so much.  But yeah, roms and emulation and stuff, I don't do that at all, despite having an everdrive.  For my top picks, it is really hard to say, but I would definitely put the NWC on the list.

      I'd also have to go with some ultra rare Atari games that I would otherwise never own.  But that's no fun because there are other rares I'd want as well: 1. Atari 2600 - Birthday Mania 2. Atari 2600 - Red Sea Crossing 3. NES - Stadium Events 4. Neo Geo AES - Kizuna Encounter 5. TG16 - Magical Chase
