[Mayhem]

I'd probably be interested in GameCube stuff depending on what you get :)

[Werewolf]

I'd be interested, most likely looking for a specific game though since I'm not in to collecting betas but rather specific titles or games with certain things... like wolves or werewolves ^..^

[98PaceCar]

Cool idea, I'd most likely be in. Any chance of an overall grab bag with a mix of all systems?

[Nukie]

I'd be interested in it myself. Yeah cube stuff

[DreamTR]

98 PaceCar: I'll probably do one set for that also. 1-2 of each system in a grab bag. This is going to seriously be way fun.

[98PaceCar]

98 PaceCar: I'll probably do one set for that also. 1-2 of each system in a grab bag. This is going to seriously be way fun.

Sweet! That will be perfect for me. Any hints as to some potential contents or is it just a mix of all different developers?

[raregamergirl]

I would grab a couple total grab bags. One Saturn and one PS2 probably. Maybe a random bag as well if you do that too. Sounds like a great idea that would work well.

[mindlesspunk77]

i did this with normal games and i think everyone had a blast. so good luck!

[Kitsune Sniper]

I'd be interested in a DC one, if it doesn't get any shitty Acclaim games. :p

[Poofta!]

id be interested in a playstation grab bag. maybe even two if hte games are good. perhaps a gamecube one.

[Richter Belmount]

Id be interested in some rpg grab bags and some candy >: (!

[youruglyclone]

I'm interested, by any chance would there be a rent-a-hero reviewer's copy floating around in that group?

[DreamTR]

To answer some questions:

I won't be doing an RPG grab bag at these prices. The prices are not set in stone yet, but some will be priced to move.

As far as Rent a Hero goes for XBOX, I had it from this same pile, and it was sold quite some time ago. I am going back to get everything that was from the same pile. It's a healthy mixture of all sorts of games for all sorts of systems, not one particular company.

The really REALLY good stuff will be posted separately for sale, but if I were you folks, I would save your pennies for the items when I get them ; )

[otoko]

What if I was interested in only one?

I'd just would like to say "I have a proto!"

A cheap date.

[theshizzle3000]

Mark me down now for a PS1 bag, because I am always game for collecting anything for the PS1.

[Nimrodil]

I will definitly be interested if there are any Treasure game for sale (Ikaruga to DC, Guardian Heroes, Radiant Silvergun Silhouette Mirage for Saturn etc).

[swlovinist]

Sign me up for the DC one. long live Sega!

[kainemaxwell]

I'd be intrested in a DC or PSX bundle.

[thetoxicone]

I'd probably be interested in ps2 or xbox as long as money is handy when they are available

[DreamTR]

I'll have prices for all sorts of grab bags and some cheap "singles" and more expensive protos.... =) Thanks for the interest so far, this is going to be one heck of a fun sale!

[MercenaryFoxMcCloud]

Pm'ed. I hope you have what I want. :)

[Super Mario Fan]

I'm definately down for some GC protos!

[spoon]

I would be interested in X-Box stuff. Also would be interested in a mix of systems grab bag.

[otoko]

actually I'd be interested in a 50$ grab bag.

I have all those systems except X-box

[xtremegamer]

Yeah, might be interested in a Xbox stuff.

[Muscelli]

I'd def be interested in a Saturn grab bag

[Canadianzombie]

I'd do an Xbox bundle
Mark

[DreamTR]

otoko: I highly doubt I am going to do a $50 one for 10 games, I might lower the amount of games or raise the price, not sure, but more than likely these will be closer to $100 for XBOX and PS2...

[sisko]

Id be interested in aGCN or DC (possibly hybrid?) lot. That being said, what region are these from?

[jcalder8]

I'd be interested in a package but I'll wait for more details before I confirm to buy.
These are the ones that interest me the most but I'd be open to pretty much anything:
Dreamcast
Saturn
PlayStation
PS2

Will the games be playable on a normal system or will special parts be required. I don't know anything about beta discs.

[otoko]

otoko: I highly doubt I am going to do a $50 one for 10 games, I might lower the amount of games or raise the price, not sure, but more than likely these will be closer to $100 for XBOX and PS2...

I see. Then I guess I'll go back to my "I just want to have a prototype!" stance.

Anything playable on a normal system =D? lol... or not... I'm not going to be picky.

[mnbren05]

I would be interested in XBox or PS2 as long as I don't open them up and find a bag full of Madden or sports titles.

[DreamTR]

These will ALL be NTSC, and I won't have more than 1 Sports Title in each lot UNLESS I have a really nice expensive game as chance in 1 of 5 or 10 lots.....don't worry, this will definitely be worth it for everyone ;)

[Borman]

These will ALL be NTSC, and I won't have more than 1 Sports Title in each lot UNLESS I have a really nice expensive game as chance in 1 of 5 or 10 lots.....don't worry, this will definitely be worth it for everyone ;)

I have to say, if you ever get any version of Stargate, let me know ;) lol

[PapaStu]

I'll take PlayStation, and depending on the amount of games would possibly offer you for all of them, nipping the grab bag in the bud.

[PapaStu]

Will the games be playable on a normal system or will special parts be required. I don't know anything about beta discs.

Most Beta's need beta systems to run them.

PlayStations either need a dev PS (for PlayStation) or a TEST PS2. In theory if you've got a modded PS or a PS2 those will play there as well. Cube is going to need a NR Reader (Development Cube), Xbox will need a XDK Xbox. Not sure about the DC.

[Poofta!]

ok im in order, put me down for 1-3 ps1 lots.

maybe a single here or there.


question -- will they look like regular cdrs that someone just downloaded and burned?

[otoko]

I'll take any PS2 proto that's non sports = /.

[jcalder8]

Do you know if any of the games are different than the retail release?

[samael64]

I'm definitely interested in one or more lots. Is there anyway we'd be able to request a specific sport if there are going to be sports games in the lot(s) we are purchasing? I collect hockey betas, so would prefer those over say basketball or soccer.

[NESaholic]

I might want PSX or DC stuff.

[Buyatari]

Not sure about the DC.

need a system 2 disc

[DreamTR]

Poofta: I'm not holding orders for anyone. Many people change their minds, so I am just making these first come, first serve when they are available.

There is no way to "request" games, sports or whatever, they will be grab bag, and this is why they are cheap as it is.

AS far as the PS1 games looking like Cdrs, some will have official labels, some will not, I can't control that, it's whatever the company decided to use in the first place when it was sent out for preview or review.

All I can say these are all 100% official, and no one will be disappointed with the quality of these or the prices.

Around mid November, just watch this thread for changes with the items available, then I will start taking orders. There will be grab bags and single games available.

[c2000]

Hmm like I said elsewhere; interested in all Saturn stuff.
So you're not gonna auction them? I'm pretty sure I'd be willing cough up a little (or in some cases a lot) more than the average 'non specific' collector. (I know this sounds grabby, but just stating my thoughts really)

[DreamTR]

I can't auction them because ebay might shut them down, but we'll see what happens when I get them in a week and a half or so...

[EX-Soldier]

only beta im even remotely interested in would have to be resident evil 1.5 with that elza chick as a main character, i'd pay reasonably high if u got that one

should be on the ps1 and maybe sega saturn, pm me if u have any knowledge whatsoever of having this game

[Ed Oscuro]

only beta im even remotely interested in would have to be resident evil 1.5 with that elza chick as a main character, i'd pay reasonably high if u got that one
Wouldn't everybody?

I'd be interested, but no money at the moment. Would save up, though.

I'd be happy to take any scraps people didn't want - 32/64-bit era Contra titles come to mind. :P

[NESaholic]

Dream just PM me when you have them and i will pay you asap. A 50$ bundle or 75$ bundle would interest me.

[Poofta!]

Dream just PM me when you have them and i will pay you asap. A 50$ bundle or 75$ bundle would interest me.

you and everyone else dude. thats why hes posting it here, not privately PMing (hopefully) to give equal chance to everyone.

[DreamTR]

Nesaholic: It is first come first serve, not holding anything for anyone. Everyone has an equal chance at bundles based on prices. I am heading over to go through the stuff next week. Prices will probably change on some of these games. When I have the games available, I will let the floodgates open.

Resident Evil 1.5? Better save up if that's in there ;) There won't be any unreleased/crazy $$$ protos in these random beta packs, but there will be a good game hidden in there in 1 of every few packs. I will post all the details as soon as I start sorting everything out.

[tonyvortex]

by this point im sure everything is spoken for but if any saturn stuff isnt im always interested.

[DreamTR]

tonyvortex: nothing is spoken for until I receive payments ;) Just wait until the day of unveiling and get your PM in. =)

[c2000]

Hmm sounds like long nights and cases of Red Bull for me (j/k :p)

[ProgrammingAce]

I'm in for a few grand

[coreycorey2000]

I've also got an extra grand or two to play with. I'd be interested in one or two of the better ones.

[EX-Soldier]

Oh just thought of a beta i'd be willing to whore my mother out for....

shenmue for the saturn, even tho most speculation leans more towards that being a tech demo as opposed to an actual playable build of the game (that reportedly spanned over 6-7 disc).....A boy can still dream cant he...yes...a boy can dream =(

im selling my kidneys as we speak in preparation...maybe my lungs too, breathing is overrated imo......

[ProgrammingAce]

I'm in crunch for the rest of the year (yay 36 hour work days). Any chance of a heads up before this goes live?

I'm also looking for a few things, mind if i send you a list?

[drx]

I'm in crunch for the rest of the year

What game?

[DreamTR]

Programming Ace: Get on AIM when you can starting on the 12th. I'm going to post a bunch of stuff on the 12th or 13th for sure. So one of those two days, things will be trickling in.

There is not going to be anything super crazy like Shenmue for Saturn. Nothing 1st party Nintendo related either. Those protos were impossible to find as it is, and I am assure you those are not in this stash.

[ProgrammingAce]

What game?

All of them... :drinking:

I'm more looking for stupid things, like anything made with the unreal 2 engine, anything from THQ or Disney/BVHE...

This is a cool concept though, good idea.

[drx]

All of them...

I meant what game are you working on :)

[ProgrammingAce]

I meant all of them, i don't work for a dev house, i'm a bit further up the food chain

[LucidDefender]

If you've got an RE 1.5 beta I'd be willing to pay quite the price premium for it, almost guaranteed to outbid everyone here by a good margin. Same goes for the RE 4 beta for the Cube. Both I'd pay quite handsomely for.

[c2000]

Get real guys it´s not gonna happen.

its impossible to outbid someone with nothing short of 100% disposable income ala moi!!!

if in the event that this 1 in a million chance of that particular beta just so happening to actually land in his lap should come to pass....you better remortgage your house like yesterday guy...no one will outbid me....NO.....ONE!!!!!

If he's got the goods, we'll see who comes up with the green.

[Vectorman0]

You guys should put your money where your mouth is and make this guy an offer. ;)

http://www.playstationmuseum.com/Games/BETA/BTA-076.htm

I bet he'd sell it too, if you are really serious about buying it.

[DreamTR]

RE4 for Cube MIGHT be possible, but I'm not sure....really will depend as I only have a general idea of what is in there, but it "could" be there.

[EX-Soldier]

If he's got the goods, we'll see who comes up with the green.

dont feel bad, tell u what, since you're being such a good sport about it, hows about i let u come over and let u bask in its glory from 10 feet away as its majestic light beats down softly upon you're tear-drenched face from its shatter-proof glass enclosure surrounded by aligators and the requisite minefield???

"how can you fear the light....if u have never known its glory?"

[EX-Soldier]

its like god himself whispers to me as i sleep....i just remembered yet ANOTHER beta i wouldnt mind getting

THRILLVILLE!!!

thats right bitches, the most famous of unreleased betas....some of you may already have played or even have the burned iso somewhere as im sure its still readily available for download somewhere, but i want the physical package straight from the developer, assuming of course it doesnt just come on sum flimsy 25 cent blank cdr, if thats the case i might as well dload the iso myself and save myself the money.....FOR RESIDENT EVIL 1.5 BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!! lol =)

[LucidDefender]

Ex-Soldier: By the way, reading up on a post about you making an offer for an item here on DP, and saying you could only offer so much based on the fact you were buying two other games shows me where you stand financially. :)

I have no interest in most of the things out there, I wouldn't compete with to be a jerk anyway. Just the RE 1.5 beta, and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVUTz0F8F1Q version of the RE 4 beta are what I'm interested in.

[Bojay1997]

Ok, so prior to this last exchange, I assumed you guys were just joking around. I don't want to shatter your illusions, but there are lots of people on this board and in game collecting in general that have massive financial resources and apparently no family or mortgage responsibilities. Having said that, it's not always about how much you're able to spend, but rather how clever you are in identifying sources of truly rare stuff.

[Blitzwing256]

i'd be interested in a ps1 lot
(as long as it contains no sport games)

[DreamTR]

Not too many days left ;)
