Collecting video games and related hardware has long been a discipline that will change hands for a lot of money. The six-digit size is now normal.

Lewis writes: “I was asked by a private video game collector to check and photograph the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive (64DT) upgrade tool.

This should come as no surprise to anyone who hears about the 64DD for the first time this time around: this driver is a little used system that drives the operation of proprietary floppy disks.

A special feature of the Dev Kit is that it comes with an adapter used to connect two N64 cartridges. Placed under the original 64DT console, it was twice as big as the Nintendo 64 normal console. Coincidentally, there weren’t many games for it, because (in Japan) only nine titles came out.
