Alright I have five NES prototypes for sale. I am willing to sell the first four for $600 as a set, I think this price seems fair. If someone wants them, give me a holler. If this is too high, then make me an offer. This set includes Crystal Mines, Moon Ranger, Pyramid, and Impossible Mission 2.

I also have a copy of Robert Byrne's Pool Challenge for sale. This is an unreleased Nintendo game by American Video Entertainment. I own two copies of the game, and the one I am selling is on a circuit board, it has no case. However, I could stick it in an extra Color Dreams Castle of Deceit case if you want. I can scan a picture of this cart if you are interested in buying it, I don't have one with me currently. I am interested in serious offers only, this is an unreleased (and very fun, one of AVE's best) Nintendo games. Thanks.

Cart #1 is Crystal Mines:

Cart is dated November 16, 1989. According to a Crystal Mines revision timeline I have, this was at the end of the prototype stage. Cart most likely the same as the final version. Tons of hand soldering on the back.

Cart #2 is Impossible Mission 2:

The game contains an early chipset version used to bypass the NES lockout chip. This copy of Impossible Mission 2 is the same as the released, just an engineering copy.

Cart #3 is Pyramid:

A second prototype copy of AVE's Pyramid. As with the above cart, this game does not feature any mention of American Video's copyright. The cart appears to be the Famicom release of Pyramid (by Sachen) soldered onto a special American Video Entertainment Famicom adapter. Very nice!

Cart #4 is Moon Ranger:

This prototype of Moon Ranger is one of few known to exist. There were a few changes that I had spotted, enemy ships shooting different weapons and so forth. Then again, maybe I am just dreaming this all up since I haven't played the commercial release of Moon Ranger for quite some time. Uhh--yeah.
