If you grew up collecting Game Boy games, you probably never imagined one day seeing a title sell for $1,800. Yet, here we are! One of the rarest games ever released for the original DMG Game Boy, Spud’s Adventure, has made a rare appearance on eBay—complete with its original box, plastic insert, and instruction manual. Finding a boxed copy is nearly impossible, making this a dream find for collectors.
The listing comes from a private seller named “oneil,” who also has another rare Game Boy title, Agro Soar, up for grabs. However, Spud’s Adventure is the real showstopper, drawing the attention of retro gaming enthusiasts worldwide.
This quirky dungeon-crawling adventure is second in rarity only to Amazing Tater, another nearly mythical Game Boy title. Interestingly, both of the rarest games for the DMG revolve around potatoes—perhaps handheld gamers back in the day had an unspoken fear of carbs?
In Spud’s Adventure, players control a heroic potato navigating a series of levels to rescue Princess Mato. The gameplay is highly addictive and, given the veggie-based cast, might even count as one of your five-a-day!
If you happen to have $1,800 burning a hole in your pocket, this could be the ultimate addition to your collection. Just be warned—it might be the most expensive potato you ever buy… until you stumble upon a boxed Amazing Tater going for $4,000!
