Then I see nothing wrong about collectors being selfish obsessive reclusive geeks who need to get a life instead of wasting it away in their closet playing gameboy.

[Sardius]

ROM Users (not all people who prefer emulation are like this and there is nothing wrong with people who prefer emus IMO)
You say this like downloading roms is a mere "preference" but in reality pirating games is a purposefully deviant lifestyle choice that is an affront to all good $2000 game-buying butter fatties everwhere and should be stopped at all costs.

VOTE "NO" ON PROPOSITION ROMS

Whatever. I think it depends on the games you're downloading.

Not all companies really care anyway.

climax together your opinions are so refreshing and well thought-out, you deserve some meseta.

[Tower of Infinity]

Can you guys just shut up and give up already? Geesh, and I agree with what Climax said earlier, anyway.

I agree that in some sense everyone was somehow responsible for what happened, and destroying it WAS immature.

Really, he should have known better, but maybe not. So seriously, instead of making each other look bad and throwing baby comments around, can you just get over it and look elsewhere? Damnit, the thing was probably a hoax anyway.

Dude, that 3rd urn from the right on the shelf on the left is an actual butter urn. It takes 21 pounds of fresh, wholesome cow’s milk to make each pound of butter.

Paul, if you get that cart glued back together, can you post some screenshots of the ending? I can let you borrow my Game Action Replay so you can save your progress as you go through. Hopefully the game will let you save 5 different slots (some games only let you save 1, some 3) and you can save it before some of the more memorable moments of the game.

I still want to know why the Ape went from Simian to the full-of-rage version of Danny Glover.

[Tower of Infinity]

You say this like downloading roms is a mere "preference" but in reality pirating games is a purposefully deviant lifestyle choice that is an affront to all good $2000 game-buying butter fatties everwhere and should be stopped at all costs.

I sense sarcasm.

But...To some extent, that is true, but as a guy who's actively involved in game publishing/marketing, it's not always the worst thing when an obsolete title is 'pirated' or copied. Only a small portion of the games you will see today will ever be considered for a re-release, and that being the active franchises or popular titles, like Final Fantasy or Sonic the Hedgehog. But why haven't gems like SNATCHER even been considered for a re-release? And why haven't titles like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night been re-released considering their demand and popularity? Some companies have complicated marketing tactics or standards.

Many games like the PC98 titles and other obscure platforms or consoles are emulated without any concern for profit loss, but so are many consoles. A considerable ammount of NES publishers/developers are out of buisiness or have been bought out and so many titles have been overlooked or are no longer available (the source code could be lost or something of the like) so that hinders titles from being re-released. Although getting back of some of the titles I mentioned, some games like SNATCHER are probably overlooked because they failed the first time and lack an efficient following to allow the franchise to thrive in western markets where it's popularity is considerably less compared to it's overseas counterparts.

Let's take FARIA, for example. It's a great game, but was overlooked, yet, it has never and I doubt it will ever get a re-release, so the only option is to download.

Also, someone mentioned earlier that alot of games that are revamped sell better, and that is true, but not always. Alot of games have been re-released for GBA and nobody cared (like Aero the Acrobat, etc.)

Everyone keeps saying it was fake but whatever, if that's your coping mechanism more power to you. I'm going to celebrate Halloween now by absorbing the souls of wandering children if you'll excuse me.

You and me both. All I know is the scammer got pissed and supposedly destroyed his proto and people are whining about banning people who download roms and like butter. @_@

At least the proto for THIS game remains undumped!

Stay a while, amazing sir

[jajaja]

When I went to bed last nite this thread had 3 pages. Woke up this morning it had 8 lol. And as said, wtf is going on? Someone offered you only $800 for it? Pfff, they know it worth much more. If its really destroyed.. ah well, sux, but we didnt know it excisted a cart anyway. Atleast you only payed $3 for it :)

[paulB812]

Just to get everyone on the same page this whole thing was fake. I set out to see if I could fool people and did so well I had to make a concerted effort to drag people to the light. I thought for sure the fart so powerful it garbled graphics was going to be it but apparently some guys still believe I smashed the potentially last copy of Bio Force Ape in existence.

And this was a week after that Zelda III mess. Hopefully this will be a powerful lesson to all of you not to be so sure of yourselves in the future.

About the comment asking why I didn't scam someone for thousands of dollars, I only use my super powers for good, not evil. Okay, that's subjective. To some third world pot-bellied kid I'm probably the worst villian ever, but I'm okay with that.

Anyway, I've shed about 5 pounds just from laughing this week. Game on!

[Griking]

Game on!

Sounds familiar..... Someone we know? :P

[Garry Silljo]

The fart didn't throw me off because I thought the graphics garbled because the game was still not quite finished. I knew it was fake when the Butter Monster appeared though. At that point it was too obvious, to me at least. It was definately a fun ride though.

[DreamTR]

That's a pretty damned great elaborate hoax!

[omnedon]

Best thread ever Joe. LOL

*claps*

[ProgrammingAce]

Well, you had me fooled... I thought the text for the butter monster looked off, but couldn't really put my finger on it.

Uh, but I only have one question... Where did the butter monster's original image come from?

[TheRedEye]

Yay Joe!

[captain nintendo]

Hahahahahahahahaha x_x

I just saw this thread and said WTF !!!
8 pages long ? I gotta read it. And read I did LOL


Best half hour wasted ever !


Seriously great way to get Monday going ;)



Thanks Joe ! (or who ever)


Game on indeed.

[adaml]

If you manage to get the cart cobbled back together using spit, duct tape and butter, be sure to let us know what the end of the game is like.

Butter

Yesterday I stumbled upon this thread, and after the first page it was very clear that this is a hoax, and after two pages it was clear that it was a sarcastic parody of offered fake prototypes.

After the Zelda 3 proto scam I just can't believe how easy it is to fool people. It is a mix between being naive and wishful thinking. It is amazing that people believe what they want to believe discarding common sense and life experience.

In the meantime I think if someone goes on ebay and put in bold letters "this is a scam, I want your money and please bid on the item if you like to get scammed," some people would still actually bid on that thing a couple of hundred dollars and convince themselves that maybe this is not a scam after all.

The lies we fell for easily are the ones we tell ourselves.

This is the best Joe-posted thread that Joe has ever posted, thank you Joe. It's so great that Joe took time out of his schedule of building his store and not posting on these forums to create a really elaborate and time-consuming hoax. Thank you Joe.

Why do we think this was Joe again?

[Kroogah]

Yeah, this guy is in South Carolina. Unless Joe spent time between setting his store up to travel to a computer in South Carolina where he could make these posts, it ain't him.

And yeah, where the HELL did the butter monster images come from?

[Ed Oscuro]

Very much unlike this thread! ROffelZ S++ RANK would read again.

Also, LOL @ the guys saying "oh we knew this was a hoax since..." Sure ya did. Well, maybe that's a sign that DPers are getting more socially aware..?

[SoulBlazer]

Bah. I thought it was a hoax but I was really lost with all the posts going here and there. :)

[jajaja]

Where did you get the screenshots from?

[Tower of Infinity]

Hey, that was an awesome hoax! Thanks, man! I get your point about offering fake protos!

[rayearthknight]

Where did you get the screenshots from?
A lot of them can be found here: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Bio%20Force%20Ape&btnG=Google+Search&sa=N&tab=wi

[NE146]

Hi,

I found this at a yardsale while visiting relatives in Carson, California. The plain label caught my eye in a pile of Nintendo cartridges, for 3 dollars I thought why not. After doing some searching online am I right to assume this game has not been released?

Here are pictures:

I'm guessing it's fake.

Ye, i checked google picture search, but there are some pics that arent there. Like when he jumps out of the mining cart. I guess I can find them if I google alittle.

[Flack]

I got sidetracked somewhere in the middle but I am still willing to offer $2000* for the cart.

(* pesos.)

[portnoyd]

Mr. PaulB,

Please contact the Zelda III guy and offer to sell the BFA cart to him for $3000 CDN. Tell him the 'knight7' people will pay $6000CDN for it.

Excellent show, btw!

[NESaholic]

Well, at least you didn't dump it.
LOL...good it was a hoax!

[Sardius]

It was a FAKE all along?! I want the precious few minutes of my life I spent reading this thread and not guzzling butter returned to me right this instant. This stunt is both unfunny and immature. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

Oh wait it was a prank by Joe? Ha ha nice one Joe! I really enjoyed your prank Joe! It was a good prank!

Here is my sig: BACON I BACON LOVE BACON (AND ALSO BUTTER)

Heh, same question I asked myself. What was funny about this? Faking a cart and make many belive its true, I dont see the humor in that. However when the buttermonster came, that something diffrent.

[adaml]

Am I the only one that was giving out butter pats for Halloween?

[Aussie2B]

I still wish Bio Force Ape had come out and real prototype will surface up someday. :(

Why is everyone assuming this is Joe just because the guy said "game on?" Uh, hello? Anyone home?

And did no one read what Captain Yashiro said? He checked the IP.


Yeah, this guy is in South Carolina. Unless Joe spent time between setting his store up to travel to a computer in South Carolina where he could make these posts, it ain't him.

I do believe this is called "trolling." No, make that "Trolling."

Wow. Yeah. I get that joke.

[Ed Oscuro]

POG, for once you aren't in the proper spirit of things. Shame, shame! Besides the guy pretty obviously isn't Joe, so it'd be unfair to label him a troll just because some people haven't gotten their night's sleep ;)

I would call someone who sets out and does something deliberately funny and makes 80% of his readers laugh a "worthwhile contributor" before I'd call him a "troll," but I'm not a moderator around here anymore so what do I know.

[paulB812]

Punkoffgirl, while you may not appreciate the spirit of this prank, a great many people in this thread found the antics extremely funny. I contend that no harm was done because I didn't scam anyone for their money, and my original intent wasn't to turn this into a big joke. I just wanted to see if I could pass off my skills as the real thing, and I did. Once my goal was met, the curtain came up. Along the way I had some fun because things started snowballing. If you look at the previous posts of the people who got it, you'll see quite a few L-O-Ls. You might see trolling, I see people laughing with me rather than laughing at them.

Life is too fun to take seriously, we come here to talk about video games for crying out loud.

[Half Japanese]

If I weren't so lazy, I'd manufacture Butter Monster figures, lunchboxes, watches, home tanning kits, band-aids, sunglasses, jewelry, disposable douches, tshirts, Tiger handheld games, etc. and grow rich off the profits.

I tip my hat to Paulb, this is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. The Butter Monster, as Emeril would say, "kicked it up a notch," several in fact.

edit: Since you're apparently in SC, as am I, if I see you in public, I will grant you one public salute.
