The man who made 'the worst video game in history'
Wikipedia says the programmer was offered $200K + a Hawaiian vacation. It doesn't say what he actually negotiated or received.

Just for scale: $200k 1982-dollars is $491k in 2016-dollars.
So he was probably quite motivated to get it done.

Someone could offer me $200k in today's dollars for a five week project and I would gladly take it.

Someone could offer me an unpaid summer internship and I'd probably take it.

I know it's a joke, but don't take unpaid internships - you're devaluing your own (and everyone else's) job.
