I don't think I'll be pursuing these particular titles, but I can give some info on them.

I know that both games are incomplete. There are a number of VH prototypes floating around (upwards of ten). There were talks of having VH dumped for some time, but I'm not 100% sure if that ever happened. From what I've heard, the most complete build of the game is still incredibly raw. There is no finish line, and power-ups do nothing yet. It's basically a cool demo showing what the 32X could have been.

From what I remember of the X-Men title it was very raw with very little playability (although I could be mistaken).

I'll keep an eye on both auctions for sure. If they look to be selling for non-astronomical numbers I may make a bid or two.


The real interested item is the Earthbound cart. This is from the infamous Jolly Rancher find, and originally sold for outrageous money. Although it's been dumped, expect it to make some serious bank (not from me though )

I saw that auction, and it looks really strange. Not only does it look like there are pictures of two totally different games (one a 2-D RPG, and one a 3-D beat-em-up), but it looks like there's a picture of Mel Gibson from Braveheart, as well as characters from the "Mummy" film series (Brendon Fraser, etc). . . I don't know what the hell that's all about. And no, I'm not joking.

Here's a link:

*Edit: I didn't realize Hellfire already posted a link to the auction.

I might bid on it out of curiosity

Whatever that is, it looks more like a tech demo than an actual prototype. I believe I see some Square-Enix sprites in addition to Brendan Fraser and Mel Gibson. Nothing seems like original art, it all seems like ready-to-use resources.

...or maybe they're all part of the most awesome plot ever?

I might have to bid just to have it dumped and translated. Can you imagine what the dialog must be like?!?!

Check out that PCB though. It's got a serial port on it. Is that a standard GBA test cart, something third-party, or a hack job? I seriously question the legitimacy of this "proto," but it's interesting nonetheless.

As long as it doesn't end in violence, butter, and Mel Gibson...

That's a legit cart. Those are the 1st gen GBA flash carts. See more here: http://gamerhistory.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=710
