Well, THIS is curious....
According to the new DP Advance guide, this game was Japanese only. It's listed in the Unreleased section, indicating that whowever did the SNES section knew about this prototype.
So yeah, I'd say it could be real.
Someone buy this and dump this so the rest of us can play it! Please! :D

The real question is weither someone will get it before ebay pulls it :o
hm.
300 for an unreleased game is fine.
but unreleased localized versions of released games arent that interesting, at least not for me.
plus, the pcb is the standard boring snes 16mbit proto board.
too expensive, imho

What's the game supposed to be like? (If anyone knows, that is.)
I see a battery on that PCB, so I'm guessing it's some sort of action-strategy thing. Sounds interesting...

Boy, he starts rattling at the end there.
If collecting xbox playstation and ps2 or gamecube (gc)is more your style only remember that this is the roots and part of history of what you like and is a rare piece of the past. While I like Game Cube myself how could I not be interested in finding a NWC 1990 cart or getting one of the unreleased released games that were part of what was going on when I got into video games. It's probably why I usually carry around a gameboy with me, if I'm bored I can always go back and visit the games I enjoy most...
Sounds like an awesome game, though. I wish he'd up some screenshots or something to whet my appetite a bit more.

I went back and checked my new DP guide. The game is listed under Activision and says it's a strategy/tactics game, kind of like Final Fantasy Tactics. At least one protoype was known to exist, but the game had'nt been dumped yet.
So it looks like the game was planned for release in the States and translated, but never released.
I repeat my plea -- SOMEONE buy this and dump this sucker! :D

Seargent Saunders Combat on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8137083558)

It is in the guide I see. Still only 1 proto and isn't dumped. It's a strategy/tactics game, kind of like Final Fantasy Tactics.
So it looks like the game was planned for release in the States and translated, but never released.
I repeat my plea -- SOMEONE buy this and dump this sucker! :D
That is true on all 3 accounts, planned, translated, but never released. I'll accept a payment plan so long as it's a person here, If you personally want the prototype we can stay in contact.

1 topic is enough, check ebay insanity for the other one.
Thanks
Danny
Although then again the topic in ebay insanity will not get as much coverage because people need to log in to see it and all the people not logged in at work and stuff won't. If you locked one once surely you can lock the one in the insanity forum and post a link there to the topic that I started to sell my game in the highly visible seller's forum. You could lock the prototype forum thread too but that's the difference.
The money That comes in from this is being donated to a charity and I didn't even start either of the threads in prototypes forum and the insanity forum, which both require a logged in user. It should be fair for me to start a topic about an item I'm selling in the forum that's meant for people advertising their for sale items. I know I browsed the sight a lot of the time regardless that I wasn't logged in.
I've seen people get topics locked for promoting their own auction in ebay insanity so the ebay topic needs to be locked pictures removed and link added to the topic for me selling my item, I don't think it should be the other way though. Is that wrong? Most people who read the insanity topic probably will read it once and then never know the seller is on the board because they won't check it again or will miss my post. More people might know they could ask me a direct question here if I can have the first topic I started, unlocked.
...most of the time ebay insanity is about auctions of ill repute or funny stuff so this unfair and I mean to have a topic for my for sale item in the highly visible sellers/buyer's forum since I'm the seller and it's a good cause this isn't asking something out of the question. Please respond now that youv'e seen a side that only I'm going to bring up.
So maybe you could post here with a link saying to check the link to the buyer's/seller's forum, and re-open it pretty please. Also I'd fell better if the first topic I started here wasn't forbidden. I'd hate to see this get trumped by popeye sealed $2000!:(
thnx

Ok no need to call Darth Vader in, if he's reading this, it's ok don't change anything else on my account. I'll only add what some people asked the primary thread:
So here is a Seargent Saunders COMBAT US Activision prototype. This is the one and only known US version on this single cart. This cart is Undumped and other than that I could not even find a Cartridge version in Japanese or a ROM to test. But I am Interested in Seeing if there was indeed other additional implimentations added.
There are 36 new screen snaps I made and in the auction including the pics of the case which is in order. I plan to add others too, shortly.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8137083558
The starting bid is not much less than the reserve, only so I can try to raise a certain amount. At first I was going to trade games with somebody but if I can find other ways to reach my goal there is always that. This is a very large game with many promising hours of gameplay.
It appears to be 2 player. There are 38 scenarios, played as The U.S. or Axis, on expert and regular settings. Also there are Campaign and Scenario modes. You can pick up where you left off in campaign and I think the SNES mouse works on this game as seen in the Controller test screen above.
You get to pick out who is on your squad and get to buy and choose what items each guy carries between historical battles. I find grenades work very well as well as air support and tank rounds.. So that's thirty-eight scenarios, more than I've even got to play.. :bigmac:

Some history about this game, it was released in Japan. The game originally sold on ebay slightly over a year ago for about $120. That is not a joke. The purchaser that bought it then tried to sell it to me later for about $200. No offense, but the price on that cart is just insane for a game that was released in Japan, and is much more expensive than how much it was purchased for and sold for originally.

Happens all of the time.
Think about the earthbound proto cart. It originally sold for 125 dollars, then someone payed the buyer 400 dollars JUST to dump it, then someone payed the buyer 1000 dollars for the cart. Damn the buyer sure made out on that didn't he.

Hey, this is the ONLY KNOWN English prototype of this game. Sure, someone could translate the ROM and allow the public to play it, but this prototype just needs to be dumped, and it's a lot easier. Those two factors conmbined make for a high price. I'd buy it if I could, just so I could dump it and allow the public to play it.
brykasch
10-09-2004, 09:41 PM
well it may be what it went for previously, but if its the only one floating around, it kinda decides the market don't ya think? Almost like a 1/1 insert card. Granted having a jp release does deaden it a little, but hell I thought it was a good price. But then we all don't have connections when it comes to proto's:)

If I were to hear DreamTR talk actually, about something being too expensive, I might find it funny. LOL I only wanted to laugh a little there because what's written ahead of this isn't about DreamTR personally as I've yet to begin get to know him.
And does the JPN ROM even exist, haven't the chance to come across it? From what I'd heard is, there's some people who originally saw it but only a couple people put bids in because everyone else said it was totally counterfeit and refused to make mention of it other than that. No one is an expert on anything other than what they've had pass through their hands.
If it's someone saying something isn't real or whether it's the same person saying it's overpriced, when they're confronted with truth that it was real afterall, then that is that. So called Pseudo-experts would get complacent and or smug about things and end up getting those else in a group who haven't given up on the truth to believe that mishappen evaluation on something's authenticity or value. Who's next to condemn a gaming materpieces or a person who found it themselves as counterfeits.
And as of yet, you've seen them do it despite that they are disqualified from making that evaluation until they've tested the game themselves and had it pass through their hands. Yet because they have had some rare birds pass their hands or because they do have a few years collecting under their belts they think otherwise, and in doing so only need break themselves while their at it. :evil:
I hope I never turn out that way, you know, where I'm trying to beat sense into someone who is trying to share a find. And as long as I myself have the fortune of being one of the the one's happening upon a find then my deed is to point out that if you haven't played the game or held it up close then I'll be there with my sword of reason should there be any stepping out of line. Now that purpetraitors are swiftly delt with we'll start seeing more secrets that have been remaining hidden.
So thank you, I'd like to say I think this is an excellent game btw and now that history is cleared up let this only be the beginning

I forgot to mention, if the new owner (or the old owner I guess) wants this dumped and wants the only copy of the ROM, that can be arranged too.

10-11-2004, 01:50 PM
Wait, so if I buy the game, I can't release it on the web?
Also, about that "too" expensive comment, and for the person that stated that the game went for that little money last year, SNES betas have NOT gone up in value. The price is a tad high, and I just wanted to inform people of what this is before they overpay.

There ws a Crash & the boys one that went for way more, and that's just counting the ones DreamTR didn't "overpay" pay himself. Nesman85 whom he referenced said something along those lines only that was in a thread elsewhere.
Is DreamTR asking someone in particular if he can't release something or does he want me to miss something? This isn't a thread about him regardless even if it seems funny. He raised real questions such as what other SNES unreleased English Betas are there exactly? What if any of them are Strategy-RPG?

even at proper market value. I've seen released NES protos go for more. So this is neither here nor there.

Depends on if you're talking legally, morally, or should you financially.
Legally, no.
Morally ... it adds to the general population's collective. So yes.
Financially, probably not. If you have the only copy, it's worth a lot more if no one else has a copy.
Again, my offer stands. If whoever purchases this wants it dumped, I have the resources and reputation to dump it for you -- whether it's just for your own collection, or to spread onto the Internet. If it's just for you, I will send the only copy back with you. I will not keep a copy.

Why all of the drama on this dudes unreleased game auction? If the price is too high, then don't bid. If not, then do bid. It is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
