Protos youd sell your soul to purchase

[diskoboy]

The sonic xtreme post from a few weeks back made me think... What other prototypes or unreleased games would you give your left testicle (figure of speech, for the ladies here) to own a beta, demo, or semi-playable version. Complete or not.

My 2 would be Armada 2 for Sega Dreamcast. Armada was a sweet game, by itself. Now throw in online multiplayer :-P
And the DC version of Castlevania (even though I heard it would've sucked, had they released it)

I wouldn't mind having a copy of all they manged to get of Saturns Shenmue, before they satrted the DC version, as well. But Shenmue isn't a tremendous fave of mine

Sorry if this has been asked, couldn't find one

[njiska]

Left nut = Full M2 Development Prototype complete with software.
Right nut = Well since you said proto i'll take the original Brown Box. LOL of course you could never get that.

Soul = It's already been sold a ton of times but DC CV

One soul, for sale here, for Policenauts

Notice who the topic starter is ;)

Two things that are rumored to exist yet have never been seen...

VB Mario Land (Virtual Boy) - this was shown at Winter CES 1995 and was a remake of the original Super Mario Bros. with some enhancements and reworked gameplay along the lines of the Virtual Boy's capabilities. And if it can't be found then G-Zero / Zero Racers VB protos would be fine. LOL

SFC PlayStation - supposedly Sony produced a very limited run of consoles that would play both Super Famicom cartridges and CD based media shortly after the Nintendo backstabbing, somewhat like how JVC could release the Wondermegas and X'Eye apart from Sega since they designed the technology. It's said that they were all destroyed before they were sent out to developers.

Left Nut: Sonic & Knuckles RPG (DC)
Right Nut: Castlevania (DC)

[Cryomancer]

i probably would go for the sonic x-treme just so i could be sure everyone gets it, heh.

i would do questionable / illegal acts for the english xbox version of rent-a-hero

[jajaja]

I would really like to own Mega Man Anniversary for GBA, that would be if it doesnt get released. I would never sell my left nut for a proto or anything lol, unless I could sell it later for the same amount I used or more. I'd rather buy 60 GBA games instead of spending $2000 on a proto, but thats just me :)

[MarkMan]

I'd sell my soul for the Tekken tech demo they used to show off the PS2 hardware.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

I would consider, at the very least, a long-term lease of my soul for the release of the one copy of the Odyssey2 Sherlock Holmes: Private Consulting Detective proto that's rumored to exist. (For those not in the know: it's an unreleased Master Strategy Series video/board game combo.)

[McBacon]

There isn't that much nut-selling for me, but I'd like to own one of the chunky DS prototypes that Nintendo showed at E3, along with the first Metroid demo, I think that would be kinda cool.

[GarrettCRW]

I'm not even sure I'd sell my soul for Alyson Hannigan (or Amber Benson, or Kristen Bell, or... [stream of names edited out for levity, though all were hot women]), much less a videogame.

[The Brown Eye]

i would do questionable / illegal acts for the english xbox version of rent-a-hero
Why wasn't I informed of this when I had it? I would've had you robbing banks and God knows what else I would've come up with.

I would like to see the Saturn VF3/Shenmue/Sonic the Fighters/Sonic Xtreme/Policenauts and any other decent Saturn ones, but if any of those pop up, they'll go for way too much money (like Sonic Xtreme).

[CosmicMonkey]

Well, it would all depend on how complete and playable they were, but I'd have to say: Take the Bullet, Thunder Force 6, Geist Force, Black n' White and Half-Life Online all for the Dreamcast. Although I know who owns TtB, the 1player game is complete but they won't release it. And apparently the guys working on the DC conversion of Bn'W made off with a copy. But it's being kept between these 7 or so guys. Oh, and apparently an english version of Sakura Taisen for the DC was sent to SoA for testing.......

As for the Saturn, I'd have to say Shenmue and VF3. Sonic Xtreme never existed as anything more than tech demos.

The Mega CD is a wasteland of unreleased games. Especially as Lucasarts' conversions of Indiana Jones and Cyan's Myst were complete and ready to go. Also Dennin Aleste 2, Captain Commando, Castlevania and Contra.

Then there's the Neo Geo protos, and mainly the 4 missing NGH numbers. I want the bloody MVS version of Ironclad, and it 100% exists.

As for prototype hardware, I'd love to raid Nintendo's R&D1. The colour version of the Virtual Boy that had red, green and blue LEDs. Whatever existed of the Sony/Phillips SFami CD, or the Sony SFami Playstation. Oh and as for Nintendo software, how about the real Ura Zelda for DD64 and MarioDD (Mario64 on a DD disk) that was shown at Spaceworld. Although I'm sure there's far more interesting stuff locked away in Nintendo HQ that we don't even know about.....

Left Nut: Sonic & Knuckles RPG (DC)
Right Nut: Castlevania (DC)
ARRRRGGGHHHH. A Sonic RPG?! I want in on some of that!

As for me, Sonic X-Treme. :( Sonic Crackers wouldn't go astray either. I'm not really big on protos, so this would be soley for my Sonic collection.

[poloplayr]

SFC CD-Rom Add-on.

The holy grail for me.

[izret101]

I will be rather predictable and go with all of the Mortal Kombat protos i could ever get my hands on.

Does any one even know of any existing Mortal Kombat protos existing?
I can't say i have heard of any....

[XxMe2NiKxX]

Left Nut: Sonic & Knuckles RPG (DC)

As for me, Sonic X-Treme. :( Sonic Crackers wouldn't go astray either. I'm not really big on protos, so this would be soley for my Sonic collection....You can download Sonic Crackers.

Though the thought of Cutting my left testicle off makes me cringe, most definately Sonic X-treme.

[Li Wang]

Yeah Yeah Beebis I

[Nicola]

The Neptune. Who is the current owner? I would sell my right testicle...or use every $ needed.

As for Sonic Xtreme...if I had that I would trade it for the neptune :D

[klausien]

Simple for me: Strider for the NEC SuperGrafx.

Probably never existed, but that would be the one.

[carnage6]

For me it is X-Men for 32X. I know it exists too. Any other 32X proto like Heavy Machinery would be good too.

[GrayFox]

Left Nut: Sonic & Knuckles RPG (DC)
Right Nut: Castlevania (DC)

Wasn't the Sonic & Knuckles RPG nothing more than a 'annouced' title. I'd be extremely interested if they actually did anything with this game. I have never really heard anything on it, other than the annoucement of it.

Nevertheless, I'd kill three hookers, or sell my soul, for Sonic X-Treme and Resident Evil 1.5. Fo Sho.

[DreamTR]

Mortal Kombat protos: Are you talking unreleased or released? I have a few released ones that are different, but mainly in text changes, some say WORK IN PROGRESS on the gameplay screen.

I HAVE X-Men for 32x....

I used to have Rent-A-Hero for XBOX, one of the last of my disk protos...

I wouled give my left nut for Incredible HUlk for 2600, because it would enable me to get more nuts from others ;)

[squidblatt]

I wouldn't sell anything for it, but I'd kind of like a copy of Dinosaur Hunter for Xbox.

[Dangerboy]

Well, I can't sacrifice anything for it (my testies help me keep my balance), but I'd kill a few people to get my hands on the following:

1. Complete PSRM list from Sony
2. Complete List of Trade Demos released (not just 'known')
3. The SNES CD-ROm Add-on with at least one playable game.
4. Get Olaf Olafsson back on the sony gig...

[rbudrick]

Airworld for the VCS. And about 1000 things that are locked away in vaults at Nintendo.

[davidbrit2]

I would be absolutely ecstatic to see that Dreamcast Super GT/SCUD Race proto leaked. I hear it was nearly finished, too.

[Cryomancer]

you had it? arg. where is it now. i must know. LOL

[Sanriostar]

I would give my left nut for Incredible HUlk for 2600, because it would enable me to get more nuts from others ;)

...and one of them would be mine. Inty Hulk would work too.

Protos I'd enjoy owning:
Any of the 'Inty Parker Bros 5' that the boxes were found but not the games: Hulk, Spiderman, James Bond, Star Wars: Jedi Arena, Lord of the Rings
Inty Smurf, It's gotta be out there!

Inty CBS games: Gorf, Wizard of Wor, Blueprint.
2600 Turbo, another "should be out there" game

Basically, if it's an unreleased proto of a an arcade port for a Pre-Crash system, I'm interested.

[ClubNinja]

'Loch Ness Monster' and 'Mike Bossy The Scoring Machine' - both prototype pins by Game Plan.

[diskoboy]

I would consider, at the very least, a long-term lease of my soul for the release of the one copy of the Odyssey2 Sherlock Holmes: Private Consulting Detective proto that's rumored to exist. (For those not in the know: it's an unreleased Master Strategy Series video/board game combo.)

Nice selection.. Sherlock Holmes sounded interesting. That reminds me - the Pink Panther proto for Odyssey 2, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on. Maybe even an Odyssey 3, since supposedly almost all the O3's that were manufactured are supposedly still lingering around Knoxville from ex-magnavox plant workers.

[neuropolitique]

I would give my mother's nuts for some prototype Game Boy hardware. It's gotta exist somewhere.

[Ed Oscuro]

I would definitely love to get a Castlevania 4 Famicom/NES prototype. Yes, that's not SNES/SFC...NES/FC.

Come to think of it, a lot of Konami proto stuff would be great to have. Contra prototypes, wonder if there are any...

[rbudrick]

Oh yeah, I'd like to get a hold of the Camerica Wideboy proto that wa displayed in a mag once...let you play GB games on the NES.

If they do exist how much do you think they would go for?

[sirhansirhan]

How about the Mother 3 proto for N64 or N64DD? I'd also love to have a legitimate Mother/Earthbound for NES proto, although the English version of that game can be had easily enough.

[diskoboy]

Oh man, I can't believe I forgot....
http://www.cyberroach.com/cyromag/14/DSCN3937.jpg

The Atari Cosmos. EDIT: And is this for real??
http://www.supermanhomepage.com/images/games/superman3-box.jpg I remember there was supposed to be s Superman 3 arcade game like they played in the movie, but I don't ever remember hearing about a home version.

PS... Sorry about all the big images.

[TheRedEye]

Geist Force

I can help with that one, if you're willing to offer SERIOUS money for it.

[christhegamer]

I probably would'nt sell my soul for one, but I would like a proto of HellRaiser for the NES, if possible :)

[CosmicMonkey]

Geist Force

X_x

Note to self.
In a few years when i have a job and money i need to get in contact with you about those.

I mean both released and unreleased.
I want to get every variation of every Mortal Kombat game that i can.

[garyfoo182]

Hmm....
PAL 32X
Darxide, Primal Rage and T-Mek (BC Racers if it exists)

PAL Mega Drive
a manual for Punisher, Death and Return of Superman, World Championsship Soccer 2, CHampions World Class Soccer BLUE BOX and if it exists SoR2 BLUE BOX

ZAG

[MASTERWEEDO]

I'm gonna go with "Zombie High" for the genesis

the Neptune is definately worth a nut especially if it has the cd add on.

[drewbrim]

not really a proto but I'd love to get my hands on the development stuff square was doing for the N64. You know, the work that started the infamous FF7 screenshot in Gamefan for the then Ultra 64.

[PS1Expert]

Right arm: Alien Virus (PlayStation)
Left arm: Superman (PlayStation)
Right nut: Maniac Moons (PlayStation)
Left nut: Clayfighter Extreme (PlayStation)
Right leg: Youngblood (PlayStation)
Left leg: Rattlesnake Red (PlayStation)
My soul: Major Damage (PlayStation)

Basically I'm ready to give any part of my body for most unreleased PlayStation protos. I'd even throw in the wife for free.


...Olaf. I could have sworn I sold him an Amiga game on ebay years ago. I'll have to dig through my emails if I still have them.

[kirin jensen]

Sell my soul? Far too high a price.

But I'd give a pretty penny for:

Clean up yer act!
Spiderman for the O2
And Sherlock Holmes

And the O3 stuff too.

[izret101]

I'd even throw in the wife for free.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

[LocalH]

Left nut: Super Mario World, before they made it less SMB3-like
Right nut: Sonic 1, before they took the "Welcome" sign out of GHZ

[Buyatari]

The only PS1 proto I really wanted and couldn't get was XFL football.

[vgxtreme]

The only PS1 proto I really wanted and couldn't get was XFL football.

Who was developing it? I haven't read anything about that game. I would have thought it would be a DC or PS2 game.

[fishsandwich]

All this talk of giving testicles for games gives me the heebie-jeebies.
:puke: ^^;

I'd pay a lot for some 32x protos, though.

[Nicola]

Anyone knows who is the current owner of the Neptune? I think I've eard that some years ago a Neptune, chassis only, has been sold...

[Hammy]

tatoo assassain by data east.
pretty poor game, but it's like mortal kombat so i love it :)!
