I've heard of this cart and it is unbelievably rare. Apparently Mr. Boston was some kind of business, I want to say a bar but I'm not sure, and released this cart to promote his business. If I remember correctly the game is an exact copy of clean sweep. Whether or not this cart is legitimite or is a pirate I'm not sure, as I'm not sure what the label looked like. I would assume it is real until proven otherwise though.
Be excellent to one another. Party on dudes!
From my compulsive research since getting my vectrex..Mr Boston was a liquor chain, and they had the 'pac-man' doo-dad replaced by thier logo, A top hat...Other than that I know very little

I've had a bottle of mr. boston's peppermint schnapps before, I think my wife bought it at a sam's club. So I can confirm them as a liquor company
if tis is ligit, i want this bad. and the bin it just right i would think....but i have nothing to compare it to.
My life and perception has changed, but my principals are the same.
sorry to be the one to break the bin,
but now its a free for all.

$400 reserve met 9 hours into the auction? I have a feeling that BIN is going to be looking very good, very soon..
I would just like to add to the people whod ont know much about the game.
- it was a liquor chain who made this game as a promo
- The game is teh same as Clean Sweep with a special title screen
- It is unbeliavably rare
- I wish I was Wberdan so I had the high bid right now. :P
Somebody make me a "CGE 2k7 Attendee banner" so I don't have to use this lame text
Wow.
I would love to see this end up in the hands of a DP-er.
Good luck to all!

Hmm typical... I might have taken it for the BIN actually. Now it's gonna get ugly and I might not even take part
Hey All,
I am a Vectrex collector and own some rare games such as the Limited Edition Protector (w/ overlay & Spike Goes Down)etc but this 'Mr. Boston' is probably the rarest Vec game of them all. Maybe apart from Pitcher's Duel (AKA Batter Up) Mr. Boston is the rarest game. It's much rarer then Minestorm II of course.
Chris Romero is one guy who owns Mr. Boston, that is I thought he was the only guy who had another Mr. Boston. Another one has shown up, unless this is Chris's cart he is auctioning.
Pitcher's Duel has been lost since the early to mid 80's, there are rumours it has surfaced and will be released some time soon for all. As the name says it's a Baseball game. But what are we Vectrex freaks waiting for, let's get out there and buy the new Geofury game I, CYBORG.
Regards,
Nubian.

As said, if the BIN had still been there, I would have taken it
yeah i feel like an idiot for not taking it when i had the chance. oh well.
My life and perception has changed, but my principals are the same.
I hate to chime in on this one, especially since it's an auction I wouldn't have bid on in the first place, but why not?
The way in which this was won probably wasn't intentional, but it definitely seems like a pretty dirty tactic. Any interested buyers who would've immediately gone for the Buy It Now basically got locked out until the auction proper would have ended. While they sat back at waited for the auction to run its course so they could have a chance to bid, the Buy It Now was essentially reinstated for one person only. Doesn't seem entirely fair, but I guess at least the seller got what he wanted and that's what counts.

true, but my intention wasnt quite to use this as a tactic-Originally Posted by ClubNinja
i simply made a bid when i was drinking last night, and then woke up and rethought it.
bad idea? yeah probably- i should have just bought it last night anyway.
for what its worth, you could only use paypal on the bin, and it had to be verified before the auction was pulled.
