http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNES-Super-...0613?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2ed27814c5 Fake or real? What do you guys think?
I think that's Howard Phillips' ebay account, and judging from his high rating and the items he sold, I'm fairly certain it's not a fake. Wasn't there a thread on here long ago that discussed a lot of the prototype Nintendo stuff Phillips found and posted pictures of online? Yep... http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?41750-Howard-Phillip-s-Nintendo-Memorabilia Isn't that the same cart? "The Super Mario World PAL version boots and appears to be the production release version : /"
To me it look like a Retail version or Promo that include a Super Nintendo as a bundle package. I used to have a XBOX360 console that come with a game called Project Gotham racing 4 as a bundle package. Yet Project Gotham racing 4 is a promo disc.
Yeah, that is Howard Philip's (aka the guy in charge of Nintendo of America in the late 80s) auction. Definitely not fake, but certainly not worth $23,000. I'm betting it could get $500+, just on name value alone, but it isn't worth bothering from a preservation point of view. I would fully expect the final binary on there.
Dunno about this one but it looks like common review copy, found one of these in flea market for about 1 euro in late 90s, dumped a few years ago - matches GoodSNES ROM (1.0). Miracle didn't happen.
"This is your chance to own the unbelievably RARE and possibly the ONLY ONE in existence Super Mario World PROTOTYPE / PRE-RETAIL Cart for the PAL SNES!!!!" "Extensive web search reveals that NO OTHERS ARE KNOWN TO BE IN EXISTENCE." http://www.assemblergames.com/forum...2-SNES-Super-Mario-World-PAL-pre-release-cart Someone didn't look hard enough...
Well, that cartridge is a waste of money.. lol Does anyone remember that NES prototype that was for sale for around the same price?
It's not just the game, it's the proto/pre-release SNES as well. 23 grand is still madness though of course.
