The original versions weren't sold, initially, the company shut down before it was released... but the copies were eventually found and sold. There were just a few thousand copies. I don't know if people knew the game was unbeatable when they bought it... possibly?
Anyway, there's been a big, and ridiculous, internet reaction against this kickstarter, but I hope it succeeds. I know the game is legendarially terrible, but it'd be nice to see some copies of it out there that work, I think... I'm sure that there are plenty of interested collectors, even for $60. I mean, $60's not unreasonable for a repro cart. And this is actually licensed, the guy actually owns the Cheetahmen license. That adds some value too for sure.
