    All I know is an unreleased game is being released and marks one off the checklist of many others that can't even be found anywhere. Life is already hard enough, if someone else finds someone to buy their thing for x amount of dollars, I'm not going to rain on their parade when I know damn well I'd love that money just as much. If he were doing an illegal activity, that's a different story. But consenting parties making a transaction? Go ahead.
    Remind me to never deal with you, unless I have the means to pull the wool over your eyes and hustle you for profit, because, as you just said, that's perfectly ok. You can save the "Well then that's my fault" reply. That kind of mentality is easy to front when you're on the outside looking in.

    And this is the kind of person left on DP? Christ, no wonder everyone says this place has gone to shit.

    $35 shipping to PR.

    Well, that killed off any chances for me.

    What price gouging? Nothing wrong with legitimately succeeding in finding an informed buyer willing to pay $30000 more for the same item.
    If there was deception involved, that's a different story.

    PR should be the same shipping as the US. If it's showing different, we can fix that and I apologize for the mistake.

    ETA: apparently shipping options are "USA" and "everywhere else", so we can't change it it seems. If you still want to back it, send me a message and I'll work out the shipping for ya.

    This is really cool. I've heard a lot about this game, so it's going to be great to see all about the gameplay.

    A platformer from Kaneko. Publisher of fine games such as Deadly Moves, DJ Boy, and Chester Cheetah. With a developer of beautiful gems such as Beavis and Butthead, Ahh! Real Monsters, and Barney's Hide and Seek. Sounds like a real masterpiece.

    Dudes trying to cash-in on an old unreleased prototype from a shitty developer/publisher? Nah. Nothing like that at all.

    Hey, leave dj boy alone. And air buster is awesome.

    Doesn't make this any less of a cash grab, tho.

    This prototype nonsense again...I hate it that every one of these releasers tries to spin it as "we're doing something for the community!!" Every time one of these games is released for $$$. Give me a break. It's an old unreleased SNES game. Not the Holy Grail. The price gouging for prototypes is some unethical BS.

    Obviously at some level it's unethical. The only way it's not is if you find the current property owner and either buy it, or license it to distribute. Without that, you can claim you bought this on Yahoo JP auctions or ebay, some private dude out of the trunk of his car. Fine and all, but you don't own the code or any rights to modify or sell it as it stands as someone owns it, somewhere, and if not someone some nebulous corporate entity with a pack of sharks for lawyers do.

    It's all a game of how far you can go without hopefully getting caught and sued for selling someone else's property as your own. The parts, the box, the manual and any other toys included sure you do, if it's not using some IP locked content, but the game, without a contract or some form of oral/written consent you do not.

    That's why I asked what I did earlier as I was curious if the rights were gained on this and I don't remember if I actually got a reply back that answered that or not other than my old friend being shocked I'd talk like that thinking it was a personal swipe.

    Being not only a U.S. History major, but someone fascinated with America's past...this release is beyond awesome to me!

    I've always been able to look at the USA's politics in a very Mad Magazine-type way[which is also why I collect said mags, from any era]...with neutrality.

    As a side-scroller fan[particularly the Mario/Sonic/Bubsy variety],I'm intrigued with how this'll play/be in person!


    I remember simply reading about/brainstorming around it at 8-10 years old, now I can finally play in in my early thirties.

    If nothing else, it has a unique plot/subject matter.

    Was/is the SNES version going to be a straight port, or totally different?

    My interest is mostly intrigue from the odd subject matter.
    As a game, I'm not setting my standards too high, coming from the same company that made two Chester Cheetah games.

    Like I knew the real Bio Force Ape probably wasn't going to live up to the DP hoax version, but I had to see the end result anyways.
