For the discriminating NES Collector who would like to add one or more PROTOTYPE EEPROM CARTRIDGES to their collection, I have a few items that might be of interest. You can see pictures of these items online at nesplayer.com by looking at the news section and clicking on various links to the games. You can also PM me and I could email you pictures. I’ve sold several prototypes recently through nesplayer, and someone suggested that there is a good-sized group of collectors that are involved in digital press so I thought it might be worthwhile to post these here:
ATARI/TEGEN AIRBALL (NES Prototype) – Developed by Tengen and never released. One of three (3) known examples, this appears to be one of the two later ones with a full Tengen black housing and no EEPROM cutouts. I had a standing offer of $1000.00 from a Euro collector, but he appears to have run into money problems... so I'm open to offers. This is probably the rarest of all NES unreleased games.
SOLD - NATSUME - BACKGAMMON (white cart prototype) – Developed by NATSUME, this is a demo closed case EEPROM. Appears to be a SNES PROTOTYPE EEPROM. Have done some research and it's looking like a one of a kind so unfortunately, the price is going to go up via the highest bidder method as I have had some inquiries. I have pix of the cart and EEPROMS inside, no screen shots. SOLD [/b][/color]
Flight of the Intruder (NES prototype) – Developed by Absolute and Microprose, this is a CES demo closed case EEPROMs. Screen shots available, price is $200.00 plus shipping & insurance.
Videomation (NES prototype) – Developed by Western Technologies, this is a demo cartridge with two exposed EEPROMS. One is socketed and one is soldered. Screen shots available, a and the price is $200.00 plus shipping and handling (I have two (2) of these).
Digger T. Rock’s Adventure (NES prototype) – Developed by RARE, this is a CES demo closed case EEPROMs. Screen shots available, price is $200.00 plus shipping & insurance. (I have two (2) of these)
Super Scrabble (Gameboy prototype) – Developed by Absolute and Imagineering, this is a very rare pre-release open-case socketed EEPROM complete with game ROM. I have not seen any other Game Boy EEPROM games like this with a socketed EEPROM. A clever person could dump the code and learn an awful lot about how the game was written. Price is $275.00 plus shipping & insurance.
NES EEPROM Prototype PCB – This is a genuine Nintendo PCB, brand-new, never used in pristine condition. A bare board… the price is $50.00 plus shipping. 2 SOLD
ABADOX EEPROMs – These are actual PROGRAM and CHARACTER EEPROMS with the CES full Natsume ABADOX game demo code that are loose (no cartridge). Price for the two (2) EEPROMs is $100.00 plus shipping & insurance.
MARBLE MADNESS EEPROMS – These are genuine and developed by RARE, but I am not sure as to whether they are Game Boy or NES EEPROMs. There are four (4) ROM chips and the price for all four (4) ROMs is $150.00 plus shipping & handling.
JORDAN vs BIRD EEPROMS – These are genuine and developed by RARE, but I am not sure as to whether they are Game Boy or NES EEPROMs. There are four (4) ROM chips and the price for all four (4) ROMs is $150.00 plus shipping & handling.
I’ve sold three (3) NES prototypes for $200.00 each, and also sold a Tengen XYBOTS for a good deal more, so I’m holding the price on the basic NES prototypes at $200.00 for the above-marked NES items (unless otherwise noted). Everything is on a first-come, first-served basis.
BUY IT ALL!While I doubt that any one individual would have the resources, I would bundle all the below listed items (minimal cumulative value $2375.00-$2700.00) for $1995.00 shipped and insured (coverage for $3000.00). All prices reflect shipping to the lower 48, and beyond that would be a premium. Items shipped out of the USA would probably have to be declared as "Samples - No Commercial Value" to keep customs surcharges down. This is what I've done with overseas buyers previously.
Included in the above bundle eight (8) prototypes, one (1) PCB, and twelve (12) loose EEPROMs as follows;
1 PIECE - AIRBALL NES
1 PIECE - BACKGAMMON ?
1 PIECE - FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER NES
2 PIECES - DIGGER'S ADVENTURE NES
2 PIECES - VIDEOMATION NES
1 PIECE - SUPER SCRABBLE GAMEBOY
4 PIECES - ABADOX EEPROMS NES
4 PIECES - MARBLE MADNESS ?
4 PIECES - JORDAN VS BIRD EEPROMS ?
Mike at nesworld.com can vouch for my credibility. Considering AIRBALL could be worth $1000.00 getting all the other Prototypes and PCBs might be a bargain.[/b]
