Hey. I run a site (Epic Gaming, see my sig) which has a growing prototype section. I am slowly documenting all the dumped prototypes I can. But, there are a ton of games with no known prototype. Could any collectors who read this please reply with a list, please contact me on AIM (Epicenter713), by e-mail (epicenter713@linuxmail.org) plz? I'm highly interested in screenshots from these games, if not ROM dumps.

I'm only looking for 8-32-bit game prototypes, especially NES/Famicom, Genesis/MD, Game Gear, SMS, SNES, and GB/GBA ... and ESPECIALLY ones from the Ecco, Sonic, or Rockman/MegaMan series.

Also ESPECIALLY looking for the following titles:

NES
--------

Any Mario titles, esp. 1/3/doki doki panic
Kirby
Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers
Duck Tales (if earlier proto than dumped one)
Gremlins 2

Game Gear
---------------

Sonic 1/2/Chaos/Triple Trouble/Sonic & Tails 1/2/Labyrinth/Blast/etc.
Jurassic Park
Power Rangers

Genesis
------------
Ecco 1/2
Any Sonic titles

Thanks very much. :)

You're never, ever going to find a beta of a first party game for the NES (with some VERY rare exceptions), so cross the first couple off of your list.

...that said, I dumped a Kirby prototype. It was byte for byte identical. No Rescue Rangers proto yet, but I dumped a proto of part 2. I also dumped Duck Tales 2. And Gremlins 2. Except it was PAL, if that matters.

I don't think I've released any of them yet, though. Don't expect anything too spectacular, I have yet to find anything different in any of them. And believe me, I know how to look (http://www.theredeye.net/20010615/index.html).

Had. It was the final NTSC version, burned to EPROMs and sent to Europe. Pretty, pretty board. I think I have a scan at home, I'll get back to you.

That is a really nice site! Those guys are REALLY hardcore about sonic though, a little too much for me...
