I own Sudoku Prototype 1.
I gave Sudoku Prototype 2 to Jumpman Jr.

I guess that not suh a big deal since I wrote the game.
Proto 1 has a lot of bugs (at least 6 or 7 fixed prior to Prototype 2).
Proto 2 probably has about 4 bugs that were fixed before the cart were produced.

WHOA!!! A new section, it screwed with my mind for a second ;D

I have 5 prototypes:
Terminator 2 Judgement Day
Lolo 3
Freedom Force
Yo Noid!
MidiNES proto (one of a kind)

I don't care to much about protos really, but I snag em when they are cheap.  I also have Dragon Wars ROMs for what that is worth.

Robocop has quite a few differences, including a different ending.
Hero Quest is a lot different form the current ROM on the net.
I was told Three Stooges had a subtle difference, but I can't find it.
The others seem to be the final versions.

I honestly wouldn't know, there should be a beta somewhere but who knows. Let's stick to NES games. ;)

When i first saw this topic i didnt own any prototypes :(

But i found these a while back in a dutch second hand shop :)
all 5 for 100 euro ;D all pal

and i got

-escape from atlantis (unreleased)
-flintstones (ntsc)

I'm going to guess some of those name changes in that FF prototype were due to potential copyright issues with TSR and such.  What was eventually called the 'Wizard,' for example, is a clear rip-off of the mindflayer character.  Pretty cool overall.

Dutch, if you ever want to let those N64 protos go, let me know... ;-)

You would like that martin wouldn't you ;D

had some great offers on them,but im not interrested in money.
I mean finding these was a great experience :)

You can buy prototypes from other members like i did with flintstones and escape from atlantis

But finding them in the wild is a real HIGH moment

There so cool also

most people wanted my mystical ninja proto,that is actualy numbered?
there is handwritting on there with 18/25 they made 25 prototypes :-?

The beetle racing proto has a lot of info on it not normal

But my favorite is tonic trouble,i dont have this game but i can tell is different then the actual release because its terrible buggy ;D unless the game is released that way


Title: Re: Which proto's do you own?
Post by Martin on 27. May 2008 at 21:20
Well yeah...

My 17 - 18 or so N64 proto hopefully arrives in one piece tomorrow :-)
Along with a now spare Wideboy CGB, found my long lost one yey

Well, about the only stuff I own of the prototype variety:

Stadium Events (not the one we all know, love, and would love to have...it was from yemtrader's run of reproductions...not really a proto in the traditional sense :P )
Super Turrican NTSC (had two of these, but I traded one to that one prototype uber-collector...DreamTR or something like that :P )
Ninja Gaiden III review cart
Darkman NTSC (final)

Nothing too fancy, eh?

Title: Re: Which proto's do you own?
Post by NESaholic on 27. Jun 2008 at 16:11
Cool stuff to own though, if you want to trade or sell lmk.  ::)

Post by LaMe_ on 13. Jul 2008 at 01:17
not sure if they are protos or magazine prereleases or something similar but i have the HES game sidewinder in a sachen case. different intro (asian title) and music. the rest of the game seems the same, im pretty sure it doesnt work on a normal unmodded NES.

donald duck on megadrive, not sure about this one. never worked on any of my systems but for some reasons works on my gfs one. no idea why the cart is slightly different, no sega or manufacturers stamp and when played it goes straight to the game no intro or anything. i think it may just be a crappy pirate.

both of these i found while flea marketing with my mum some years ago, i dont buy stuff off ebay just snag a game here or there with loose change, its more fun.

Hakan knows that I own that "Tigerlily" game or better known as Tiger Heli

As a matter of fact I just got it up and working with a little solder work. I dont know why i cared but I figured it was about time to get it working

However something makes me wonder about this proto. For the company name it says "Pony" Is that Pony Canyon Inc? And if so does that mean anything whatsoever affecting its worth?

Here are some pics.

Honestly that thing looks more like a pirate PCB to me, but what do I know :-/

and yeah Pony is Pony Canyon
