[Drexel923]

Isn't that Chocobokick's ebay ID? I'll start off the bidding :)

[chadtower]

Buh. I'd love a copy of that and the bike to actually USE, so a sealed copy is no good.

[MarioAllStar2600]

:o :o :o I rember what that thing hit at CGE. I almost peed my pants. lol. :o :o :o

[badinsults]

I would like to have it, but I don't have the hundreds of dollars it will likely end up selling for. :(

[udisi]

if i'm not mistaken, this is the first every sealed copy on ebay..if fact I think I've only seen a loose one on ebay before, and even then I've only seen 1.

[chadtower]

I saw one with the bike a year or two ago when I was looking for exercise equipment... it wasn't listed with the game title but it was clearly an snes hooked to the cycle and advertised as exercise cycle with video game attachment. I should have bought it, I guess, since it ended at like $175.

I am very surprised to see this up on ebay, I don't know who the seller is (is that someone who is a member here??), but I have dealt with them before and they are excellent. I am guessing this game could go pretty high, considering there are many SNES collectors who don't have this game.

Glad I have mine.

[Slipdeath]

is this an official release??

[Darth Vader]

is this an official release??

Yes it is, and it is also officially not seen very often (except by friends of anotherfluke) LOL :D :P . I think he has hooked up every person who has this game.

its not on the dp guide??

Yes it is...

Exertainment Mountain Bike Life Cycle Rally/Speed Racer $150/R8
For use with the LifeFitness Bike Unit. Released 1994. #SNS-9XUSA.

[chocobokick]

Darth I didn't know you had bought from us before! I'm glad we came through ;)
Because we are going to have to move soon, etc Brian is selling just about everything. This is indeed one of our auctions. I hope someone here wins it, more stupid people join ebay every second it seems. We could use some sanity!

[chocobokick]

Hey, just a note for people interested in this game. We've gotten a LOT of offers to end auction early but we're going to let it just go. We're expecting some major sniping on this one, and would prefer it go to a board member, so program your software/keep your eyes peeled etc.
If a board member wins it, free shipping :) Just let us know

[Querjek]

Just curious: How many of these do you have?

I would agree, considering this game has never shown up on ebay complete (let alone brand new). I can name at least 4 or 5 normal SNES ebay buyers who will be after this hard. I see justus77@attbi.com has already bid, but look for v1rich, ladyofvines, skier232, itsmeins, vidkid40 and probably a few more that may go after it.

Nearly every copy of this game (including mine) has originated from anotherfluke, you would think that more have surfaced, but as of now, there are less than 10 of this game that are confirmed. I am sure there are more out there, but if there were, you would think more of them would have surfaced on ebay by now. Good luck to all and help Choco get a good chunk o money for this one! :D

Danny

[chocobokick]

Yep, we only have one
Thanks for the extra info Darth! Maybe I'll use the money for this to pay for my wedding ring LOL

I understad dave. :( . May the best bidder win. I am warning you though, you have picked teh wrong little kid to start a bidding war with. :P

One thing to remember though Marty, you can snipe on ebay and not have a chance to react to the highest bid at the last second, unlike CGE where it goes until the bidding stops. This one will be fun to watch.

Danny

[nesuser2]

what is this thing worth.......it seems to me like it should triple in the last 10 minutes and more so in the last 30 seconds than anything......but the way everybody talks about it.....it's around but very rare......

[dave2236]

I've heard good things about you marty...you have a reputation already. Actually I plan on going to CGE this year, and I wanna meet you and a bunch of others.

I seriously think that my snipe will get beaten.

I think its going to go for bukko dollars at the end

[Chunky]

I'd go more but the thouht of the possibility of purchasing a world series ticket has me holding back.

[Balloon Fight]

A friend of mine just found a copy of Mountainbike Rally, just cart at Gamestop. I wish it was with speed racer also but whatever. :)

[ragtime_tgs]

250? hahaha
i wonder when the first bootlegs of this one will appear.
somehow reminds me of the secret of mana 2 cart some guy sold
for ?300 half a year ago ;)

[dave2236]

well, this just passed my mark $275, I'm out.

[Darth Vader]

With all due respect, the game is at $304 right now and it hasn't even gotten to the sniping yet. I would bet it will hit between $400 and $500 (at least) and also, you can't bootleg what you can't get a ROM copy of. (which you can't with this game)

Danny

[MarioAllStar2600]

yea. Im out. My max bid was 250, and I was thinking about 300. Its already over that. I ahve to be honest, I was just going to use it as trade bait. Wasn't going to try for money, but a nice 2600 piece.

[dave2236]

Ah, a collector one it.

I see he bought a Sealed stack up too.

$350, not too shabby, less than I thought

[nesuser2]

less than i thought as well

[Darth Vader]

Ah, a collector one it.

I see he bought a Sealed stack up too.

Judging from their bidding, I would say it's a shell account (or backup account) for a collector. I certainly thought it would go higher, but that still is pretty good.

Danny

[ragtime_tgs]

the rom isnt dumped yet?
in this case youre right of course ;)
although im sure someones gonna dump it sooner or later.
do you know how many copys of this game exist ?
you are the one with the massive us snes collection arent you.
do you have any idea of sfc rarity/pricing?
i only know about all the really popular stuff like the square samples or feoez shounen jump no shou.
do you know anything about the sd f1 grand prix sample?
sometimes i have the feeling they produced more samples than retail carts of this game ;)

Huh??

Ummmm......I'll try to answer some of your questions. Right now, there are less than 10 that are known of right now (by no means does that mean there aren't others). According to another poster who I hold in high regard (D_N_G), the ROM has not been dumped and there is a good possibility it never will. Check the rarity listing here for the exact rarity (R8 $150). The rest of your qustions, I have no clue what you are talking about.

Danny

[SoulBlazer]

Why would'nt the ROM ever be dumped?

[ragtime_tgs]

the rest was about japanese super famicom games ;)
anyway,concerning this fitness game,wasnt there a minimum production quantity per snes games,like a minimum of 1000 copys or something?

[SoulBlazer]

Whoa, a NEWBIE won this???? What happened to all the collectors? $350 seems like a good price. I just hope he pays. :hmm:

[Drexel923]

I don't have the money at the moment so I think I'll share this with everyone. I just got an email from a seller telling me that he had a related item...here it is:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3052988789

I'm not sure if its legit, but here it is if anyone is interested.

[Drexel923]

If he doesn't pay, I don't want to be in Choco's way...she's had to deal with enough idiots in the past. Anyway, congrats on getting a nice chunk of change on the auction.

[Balloon Fight]

Im surprised it went for so low. The snipers didnt really show themselves...
Congrats to the winner, and i hope he pays!

[buttasuperb]

:)

[badinsults]

Hmm, too bad I wasn't around this weekend, I would have tried for it... And if I won, I would likely get the game dumped, however useless the game is for emulators. I believe it is the only officially released game that isn't dumped.

[nesuser2]

i thought the game was sealed and new......i don't feel like looking again..... LOL

but why on earth would you open it?

[dave2236]

It is sealed, and nobody in their right mind should open a sealed game like this.

[badinsults]

It is sealed, and nobody in their right mind should open a sealed game like this.

Why, who has an unsealed copy? I really see little value in keeping something sealed up. I guess I am just not that kind of collector. :p

[nesuser2]

hmmm.......... :hmm:

i'm curious why you don't see any value in keeping something sealed up. i mean, it's better than mint.......it's new. a guy just paid me $2500 for a bunch of brand new(sealed) NES games.....and i like to think he got a good deal, due to their value. i would do nothing less than point my finger and laugh at a person if he bought this and opened it.

now.......not that a sealed game would have value to you, but it has more value to everybody else.

what's the value of a model A today, if it was never driven. worth a lot more than one driven hard and sitting on it's axels if it even has those........sorry that example sucks but it's the best i can come up with this late -_-

[ragtime_tgs]

i lately browsed through goodsnes and noticed there is more than one game that isnt dumped,mostly pal games however that no one cares about.
even relatively popular games like aero the acrobat 2 and stuff.

[Bratwurst]

Well.. some guy recently found a sealed Bubble Bath Babes and opened it.. I didn't see anyone jumping on his case.

In this instance if Evan had opened it, there would be a greater purpose (that of dumping the rom) than simply to breath and slobber all over it. Devalued or not, he certainly would have been able to turn around and sell it on ebay afterwards and recoup some money, if not all.

Prices are volatile on ebay, I'm a little surprised this instance didn't sell for more, but then again I am not, because it's an obscure title. Given a little more promotion, the bling bling would have rolled in.

[udisi]

on the topic of this game getting dump and why it will probably never happen..1). there's less than 10 known. 2)of the ones known they came from the same place, at which the other copies available for sale were dystroyed when they didn't sell. 3) this game is useless without the lifefitness lifecycle, and there's not reason to make a rom for a game that won't run in an emulator.

[Balloon Fight]

hopefully that will put a rest to that topic.

[dave2236]

You can purchase both these games seperately you know? if your going to play a rom, why do you need both on 1 cart? I'm sure you can find those roms somewhere.


Also I can't believe he opened the BBB, I would have freaked.

Right and the people who own this game, 5 of them are brand new and sealed and will probably stay that way. That leaves you with very few chances (less than 5 others right now) to get the rom dumped.

Opening a sealed Bubble Bath Babes, I hope you enjoyed that $300 worth of plastic you took off of it! @_@

Danny

[ragtime_tgs]

i dont want to play it on an emu, i dont want to have the rom at all. ~_~
i just pointed out that this could be a game that gets bootlegged in the next time but then darth vader was like: it will never get dumped! and i replied that im sure it will be available sooner or later and thats the whole story.
so would you please stop arguing about it ;)

I don't think we are arguing about it at all, we are DISCUSSING the topic. If you would like to discuss the issue of ROM dumping, I am sure there are many topics on this board about that. My intention was not to come off as an "elitist" or as a "know it all". Just stating my point of view. I just don't feel, given the current amount of this game in circulation, that it will ever be dumped. That is all.

[SoulBlazer]

Hey Darth, I consider myself a expert on Nintendo and this is the first time I've heard of a bike for the SNES -- or games for it!

Was it actually released? If so, when? How? And how many sold? Are these the only two games that work for it? How similar is to the Atari Puffer project?

Is there a website or anywhere with more information?

None of my game history books mention a SNES exercise bike, so I'm really eager to get more information. :D

[kai123]

If I find this cart somewhere I will dump it for sure. I don't really care about the game but it would be cool to get all the snes games out there dumped.

[SoulBlazer]

Thanks for the info.

That helps SOME, but it still leaves a lot of questions like who made it? When was it originaly released? How many were made or sold? And why have we never heard about it?

Was the starting price REALY $2000? If so, I think that explains why it bombed and why so few games were made for it. :roll:

[dave2236]

I've heard of one being sold, but I never actually saw it and I think it was around $700


but I wouldn't trust my facts

[Drexel923]

Thanks for the info.

It was made by Life Fitness. I don't think that many were actually made so thats why you didn't hear about it. I myself didn't know about it until after I cam to DP.

[badinsults]

If you really want one, you can easily buy them:

Here is one for $1695, Remanufactured

This site is quite a bit more:

Interesting to note is that a version of Dr.Mario and Tetris was being made by Nintendo for it.

[Anonymous]

Wow, I just found this thread! I'm surprised and secretly pleased to find that this game has made such an impact on SNES collecting and that so many copies of the game have been made available to collectors through my hands. Hopefully this year's garage sale will be as fruitful as last years :)

[Chunky]

Ya know i just got some dealings over at LifeFitness. Looks like that want a local place to recover/cushion their workout seats and backs or whatever(ewwwwwww sweat stuff) before they go out and buy some company in china to do this. So i have to go over to LF and talk to a guy in customer support services. I want to see if i can find anything out, but again i doubt it.

[portnoyd]

A friend of mine has a loose one (that I gave to him). I can ask him to dump it no problem.

[chuckydj]

Bought it off ebay back about 3 years ago when I was buying any snes games I had never seen before...some others like Oscar...captain novlain...rex ronan and a few more. It was complete but not sealed and won it for like 13.50 plus shipping.

[Flack]

Just an open offer here, if anyone ever comes up with one of these carts, I would be glad to dump any of them.

Flack

[chuckydj]

I would sell mine but I am collecting snes games at the time so will hold onto it a while. Didn't even think it was rare at all when I bought it.

[punkoffgirl]

Butta, what was with that smile? Did you win this?

[chuckydj]

lol Not sure why I put that there. Yeah I won it for 13.50 plus shipping about 3 years ago.

you can buy parts for the bike, about 2 years ago someone bought the remainder of the cartridges and tv hookups and bottom rack bke hookup. Mary(lady there) wound't say the prices of what was paid but that someone ought out the stock they had, all they have left are a bunch of peices and random stuff that compatible with other bikes they have. oh well, someone doing their homework.

[badinsults]

Sorry for bumping this, but I was wondering if anyone who has the cart of this game, if it was possible to get me a scan of the cart.
