For reference, a 9.8 A++ is about as good as it gets on the Wata scale. The only possible improvement would be for it to be a 10, and, well, given its age, it is not shocking to see that it didn't quite meet the criteria for the additional 0.2 on the scale. Heritage Auctions' description of the item is, it is fair to say, particularly effusive even for an auction website attempting to sell the video game to the masses. "The cultural significance of this title and its importance to the history of video games is paramount," the brief description reads in part, "and the condition of this copy is just so breathtaking that we're really at a loss here."
