Bio Force Ape

[Crush Crawfish]

That has got to be the most ridiculous exchange of dialogue I've ever seen. Never in my life did I think I'd see a gorilla smite a butter monster with his fist of communism, and yet, here we are. Good god, I want to play this game so bad.

[ProgrammingAce]

Oh My God..... I don't even have words for that last set of screenshots......

Anyone have any ideas on how this game came to end up in a stack of commons? I think that is the most interesting thing about this game.... (well, asside from the butter monster)

[TheRedEye]

I love this thread.

[ProgrammingAce]

How sure are we that this didn't get released? I found a store selling it for $4.00...

[adaml]

Could we have some screenshots? I'd love to see if the Butter Monster evolved/devolved in a different beta version.

Crazy Butter Monster.

[DreamTR]

We can all save this trouble if he would kindly sell it to me.

The person who owns this DOES NOT plan on selling it from his email to me.

Now, a few things to get across before anyone jumps to conclusions. I WILL get this game dumped for everyone to play if he decides to sell it to me ever. I would like the game, and I know everyone else would love to see this game away from the bit rot sty.

Other things of note. The people who are comparing "dumped" games values in comparison to an NWC and even "Stadium Events"???? COME ON.

Get real. It's supply and demand here. California Raisins umdumped would have fetched $3K, and dumped it fetched around $500. The prominent collectors (including those involved with community dumps) are not stupid, and will NOT pay anywhere near the same amount of a game they can copy from the web and download onto a cart. If you come up with the argument that collectors will ALWAYS want the real thing, take myself, Nintendo God, and Buyatari for example. I just want the game on a cart to play. I'll pay a fair amount for the cart, but I am not overpaying at ALL for anything dumped, copy or not. Prototypes are all copies of copies anyway. With that said, if you have never owneed an unreleased prototype, or see the value go up and DOWN like i have had with experience for the past few years, please stay out of this, k thx.

Please Paul, go back to showing off that great find!

[ProgrammingAce]

Honestly, i just put the title in google, and a store poped up offering it... I did order it, but i wouldn't be too disapointed if it doesn't show up. I don't collect NES games, I only have a few dozen. If on the other hand, it does appear in my mailbox someday, then of course screenshots a-plenty.

[Griking]

Oh christ, if they guy doesn't want to sell it then respect his wishes. I think that its really lame to try to guilt him into selling it to you by bringing your negotiations and ultimate plans for the game into the public eye. :roll:

[TheRedEye]

California Raisins umdumped would have fetched $3K

Nintendo God offered $2k, which was as far as both the owner and I were aware, the highest offer. If you know of someone who offered $3k, you should explain.

[DreamTR]

Griking: Get a life, please. I am mentioning that because everytime I place my name somewhere, it's either I am going to "horde" the game, or whatever.

Also, "guilt" the owner? DId you not read my freaking post? My explanation was for the crowd that was a bit naive abotu devaluing. This is very far from you, and the owner knows I wanted to the game because I was the very first person to email him about it when it was posted.

TRE: I was aware that it was 3K that NG offered. I think it would have hit around 2,500 on eBay had Buyatari got into the mix knowing it was not dumped....

[adaml]

Paul, I am curious about the Butter Monster. Do you actually get to fight it in-game? Are those screens after you have defeated it, before you fight it, or is it an interactive cut scene where you get to control the ape's arm, sort of like how you have to spear your boat at Jaws in the NES game. You just kind of spear your fist into the buttery mass.

[Ed Oscuro]

You just kind of spear your fist into the buttery mass.
Yellow, the new color for useful posts! Indeed, I must admit that suddenly I too have gotten the urge to - sometime within my short human life-span - smack a butter monster strongly with my fist.

[Kid Fenris]

Dude, what if the Butter Monster IS Bio Force Ape? We've already seem him change radically in appearance once. Perhaps he degenerates into a blob of oozing, sentient butter by the end of the game, and when he dies we see the enemy's communist fists smashing him.

That would all be very Kojima-esque.

[Ed Oscuro]

Hmm, flapjacks...IN SPACE? Campbell picks his source material well.

[paulB812]

Having seen the anger that revealing this game's existence has caused, I have decided to destroy the cartridge. It is too powerful like that ring some midgets had to throw in a volcano. Please everyone calm down now. It was just a game.

[adaml]

Quick, delete your post now!!! You may be the cause of 1,000,000 fatties crying out in pain, then suddenly silenced (for pulmonary reasons) a la the denizens of Alderaan.

Couldn't you at least thrown it into a vat of liquid hot, bubbling butter?????

[kainemaxwell]

Ya didn't have to do that you know. Outside of the few morons trying to force or pay you off for it to dump it, the rest of us were happy to see someone finding a proto like tha tin the wild, and finding out info on it.

[Ballz]

This thread is legendary.

Edit: Why won't my sig show anymore? I make posts in this forum at least once a year, I deserve a sig! :angry:

[Sardius]

Well, at least you didn't dump it.

[Ed Oscuro]

LMAO

Quick, somebody check Something Awful forums.

[badinsults]

Well, that is that. :sob:

lol

[TheRedEye]

I'll still give you $100 for it LMK

[Garry Silljo]

Ha. The minutes of my life I will never get back reading/posting in this thread. Oh well. It was fun and interesting for what it was. Would've been better in April though.

[Ed Oscuro]

Okay, so here is what has happened:

1.) The smashed cart is fake
or
2.) The smashed card is fake *and* Paul's good at cobbling together screenshots from the NP originals and making some gameplay shots from them. Though that'd be damned hard to do, it *does* explain the last few lines...I'm going to be looking at that NP scan again for sure :P

[adaml]

Could that possibly be saved?? Some Elmer's Glue or something??

[GrandAmChandler]

Wow this reminds me of that Airworld thread...

For those of you youngens:

That game wasn't just a piece of history that you destroyed but also the work of many people who probably have lost something of theirs forever. You could have just disappeared and not mentioned it again, or just sold it. Why would you let 2,000 dollars go out like that?

[Ed Oscuro]

Hey Climax Together, I have, in my house, the only surviving M2 3DO home console!

Oops, I guess I just hit it. Repeatedly. With a hammer.

Damn, it had some sweet games too.

well maybe those selfish fucks who worked on the game should have dumped the roms

[johno590]

That smashed cart has to be a joke right? Who in their right mind would smash a cart that could get 2000 dollars for?

[Garry Silljo]

Ha, it never ends. It simply WILL NOT END! Come on now, let's just have a chuckle and leave.

[ProgrammingAce]

As a game programmer and a collector, i'm stunned.

That settles it, if i actually get the copy i ordered online, i'm dumping it.

[Aussie2B]

This has got to be the strangest topic I have ever seen on this board. o_O

[TheRedEye]

this is a tragedy like romeo & juliet, perhaps now the collectors and the pirates will see what all the fighting has done and come to terms with each other.

[paulB812]

Someone wanted to pay 2000$ for this??? I was only offered 800, and that's just a week's pay.. I guess I shouldn't have done this, but it was irritating to have everyone contacting me about it.

Paul

[kainemaxwell]

Next time don't listen to all the people trying to force you into doing what you don't want to do. Do what YOU want, not want others want.

[adaml]

Yes! Stand up for what you BELIEVE IN!!

[Climax Together]

You can still re-assemble the chip board, sir. If you have some glue or something I'm sure you can repair it and it will still work (even if the surface is scratched).

At least if this has really happened, I hope everyone learns a lesson about these kinds of things. :\

[TheRedEye]

Please tell me you got the extended warranty.

[DreamTR]

Paul: I wanted the cart =(

[Ballz]

Paul: I wanted the cart =(

On the plus side, he might be more receptive to selling it now.

[Sardius]

Clearly the rom pirates are to blame for this. If more people had told him to never share the game with anyone, this would have never happened. The collectors making insulting lowball offers were only doing so in his best interest, to make sure the cart fell into the right hands. I only wish they had gotten to him sooner.

RIP Bio Force Ape :(

[DreamTR]

I'll still buy it!

[Climax Together]

I don't care what they say, destroying the cart wasn't even a smart way to resolve things, how about just ignoring everything or editing the thread and say you made it up. Destroying it was as childish as all of the shit going on here. I'm in a neutral position ATM. I don't know who to blame because at the core of everyone they're all responsible in some way or another. I mean, couldn't they have had some sort of decent negotiation? Damn it.

[adaml]

Ain't somebody gonna pay. Tiarn.

[badinsults]

I'm with TheRedEye on this one, this thread is hilarious. You guys just don't quit. Seriously, just laugh it off, and forget about it.

[Climax Together]

Let's just say this:
Everyone was being selfish, one way, or another. The collectors AND the ROMers all had some selfish motive (the exception being DreamTR for once in this case) at heart, so I think it's safe to say that many of us were being a bit fascist in this case.


At least try to repair and sell the cart. >:\

[Ballz]

It's kind of hard to forget the butter monster, to be honest. That sort of thing stays with you, like genital warts.

[bugmenot]

RIP Bio Force Ape :(

More like "SMASH Bio Force Ape", am i rite?

That's not the smell of BS, its the smell of a smashed butter monster.

This thread is a cavalcade of pure buttery brilliance.

[Dr. Morbis]

My favorite part of this thread is when Dr. Morbis realizes there isn't a Santa Claus.
Well, the big Santa fraud of my preschool days wasn’t nearly as convincing as your Bio Force hoax initially was. But if you were going to go to all that trouble, why not do it up with an eBay auction and rip someone off for thousands of dollars? I mean what are you getting back for all your hours of work?

[Climax Together]

Here we go, here we go, it's time to stop-mmmm, The violence and the butter mess. It's about timmmme sommmone stood for what is right instead of BANG BANG BANG. Cuz SOMEONE SOMEONE CAN! SOMEONE SOMEONE CAN SOMEONE! I KNOW THEY CAN I KNOW THEY CAN I KNOW THEY CAN-CAN-CAN-uh!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, for comments exactly like this.

Or, in other words, if you have to ask you'll never know.

:( WHAT HATH ROMS WROUGHT :(

[badinsults]

The thing that gives it away as a fake is the butter guy. Seriously, someone earlier in the thread said the game was worth $2000, and that was what was said in the caption of the picture. And "eat communism?". Get real. It is hilarious, though.

[Climax Together]

Either that or fakes made based on a real cart.

Hey guys, I found this Hellraiser NES cart at a flea market for five bucks. Here's a screenshot.

Someone buy it for $2000 or else it will know the pain of my butter-covered hammer of justice.

Agreed.

Either the smashing of the cart was fake or his ever finding a legitimate proto of the cart was a fake from the very beginning. My bet is on the later. LOL
