NES Sim City Prototype found!

HOLY...the title says it all! Has anybody seen this already!? It's in the hands of a fellow called Benjamín Ramirez...We have to dump this baby online like RIGHT NOW!!!

 

Stay calm and don't scare people off. Others have already reached out

 

Sorry XD. I just got too excited 'cause this is gold (and also it's one of my favorites on the SNES) Here's a bit more of story behind not one, but TWO prototypes of the game http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Blog.View&Blog_Id=1&Id=1754

 

Man, so many dislikes and look on coment section i lose faith in humanity again.

 

Glad to see it finally surfaced!

 

Holy balls, I need this. I pray it makes its way out, somehow.

 

It will be playable on Portland Retro Gaming Expo so many of you here will have the chance to play it Seriously, this is one of the few games from the NES library that remains to be dumped online...maybe i should do a master list about the unreleased games for the NES (but i feel that should be part of a bigger list i'm planning to do here )

A bit more info popped up for those who haven't clicked the link to NA: it appears that NES Simcity uses the MMC5 chip (Metal Slader Glory, Castlevania III, etc.)

 

Somebody gag that annoying kid in the background.

 

That's actually the son of the owner of the two prototypes. Update: the video uploader, Benjamín Ramirez does not own the protos. He just happen to be just the uploader of the video, who made it 'cause the owner came out like nowhere with the most sought-after unreleased game for the NES right after Earthbound Beginnings.

 

Man, too much negativity from people in the video. You'd think everyone would assume the people in the video might be looking at their comments and are being influenced by the negativity. They're only making themselves look bad, not the kid that they hate so much (he's young, get over it.)

Hope this one gets preserved someday, glad the guy was nice enough to share.

 

Man. This stuff is crazy. I did see this on NintendoAge, but hadn't looked at it yet. How do people come up with these finds? I do think it's really cool that we are still uncovering these historical pieces.

 

Wow, I find it quite amazing that the NES can run that kind of simulation, just managing that much data in so little RAM (even with the MMC5 chip) must have been insanely hard...
I'd love to see this one dumped, really.

 

Good News at last from PRGE: Frank Cifaldi now has the ROM of NES SimCity on his computer now. The moment of truth will be coming soon so stay tuned

Pretty neat. I hope this gets dumped soon. I'd like to play it.

 

Oh wow, this is exciting!!

 

I'd love to see the likes of a Limited Run Games style company that makes a CIB reproduction of games like this (ie. prototypes). They may exist already but I haven't looked to be honest haha

 

eerily similar

 

People have done small runs of prototypes of NES games and the like. Its actually how some of them pay for their prototypes, buy one and do a small run, usually around 20 - 50 units, to pay for some of it.

 

Nice! Frank is the man!

 

We now have a better look at how Dr. Wright looks on the NES compared to his SNES counterpart and he looks pretty good, all things considered...
