It's been removed :/ ...
Was this the same one that was discussed in one of the other forums here, perchance?
World's greatest Internet game store: http://blastedmachines.com
Also on Facebook: http://facebook.com/BlastedMachinesTechShop
Wanted: Any and all Dragon Quest, Lufia/Estpolis, Tales of series, and NIS games, strategy guides, and miscellaneous items. Will pay $$$ or trade well for items I don't already have.
Nope, different label and different title screen...I saved the auction in a .pdf file on a different computer so I'll try and get it tomorrow. I'm just glad they pulled it so quickly.Originally Posted by mb7241
This guy's been saying he has a copy of the game for a while. I followed it for a while and it's real snake oil. I would love to get a copy of the auction. I saved the fake blinking nes video he had in the auction. I pmed you my email address. Please send me a copy of your saved auction page.
I'd be happy to send anyone the video that the auction had a link to if you would pm me your email address. I don't want to post to utube or anything, I'd rather send the undoctored video (since utube reformats the video).
The video is the "Zelda III" title screen but his nes is supposively broken (blinking nes syndrome). The real problem is that if you follow the video frame by frame, sometimes the video on the screen is dissapearing while the light is still red. Try it with your nintendo. With a blinking nes, the screen never has problems until the red light goes out. Try it on an old TV like his. On an old TV it may take a second for the picture to come in, but still the picture never dissapears till the red light is gone.
Snake Oil! Beware!
To back up Michael, and to save me some time, here's my response:

Yes, please post the pdf..I'd like to see what this jerk is up to now...

The moral is, don't **** with Uncle Tim when he's been drinking!
Its not the same guy who tried to sell it earlier. The guy who tried to sell it now was bidding on the previous copy. I contacted him then and he said it was the real deal and showed me his site, Rated0.com.
By any chance was this guy a few months ago who said he found a zelda 3 proto at a swap meet?
Even if I go to hell, I will live to the end of this world. And if the world does not come to an end... I will destroy it with my own hands!
It isn't the same old guy. It is ratedo.com. There's been an article on ratedo.com for quite a while (at least since the time when the other guy in canada posted on ebay). When I said I've been following this for a while, I meant ratedo.com.
Anyone who would like to buy this, note that his reserve was 5 grand. I'll gladly sell you a zelda III prototype and the brooklyn bridge for only 4 grand. I have more 100% positive feedback on ebay than he does...
I forgot to grab the file at work, will do so on Monday. I apologize for the delay.
Okay, I have the .pdf file if anyone is interested. Send a PM my way and I will e-mail it to you as I don't know of a way to put this online. I also have a copy of the last Zelda 3 fake proto that was put on e-bay by someone else, so if you would like that as well please let me know.
This guy with the Zelda 3 proto is getting ripped over on nesworld forums. He is trying to sell it on some other site right now. Forgot the name though.
Thanks for the pdf's! I wish I had some webspace to post them on...
It's not bad that people want to believe or will believe for just a short time, but those who still defend the guy after following it for a while makes me sad.
if someone wants to email me the pdf, i'll host it on my site.

I normally wouldn't care too much, but when people try to pass off fake protos, i get cranky.
