Treasure Master
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treasure Master is a game released by American Softworks in 1991 for the Nintendo Entertainment System as part of a contest involving MTV.
[edit] The contest
After the game's release in late 1991, players had until noon EST on April 11, 1992 to practice beating the game. At this time, MTV revealed a secret password. By entering in this password and the game's serial number before beginning the game, players unlocked a secret sixth "Prize World" level. After this, players had until midnight to complete the entire game including the Prize World. This prompted the game to reveal a 24 character code. By calling in to a special hotline with this code, players had a chance at winning one of 36,252 prizes.
[edit] Contest prizes
Two first-prize winners had their pick of:
- Fantasy Rock Concert
- Fantasy Sports Event
- Fantasy Audio/Video Room
- $10,000.00[1]
250 second prize winners each won a Super NES. Up to 36,000 third prize winners may have won an Official Poster-Size Winner's Certificate
