    That this should be in the eBay thread? ;)

    Some of his other prices seem rather on the high side, though - and he's dropped the prices on some items that didn't sell previously. Other prices are pretty spot on, mind you - so you never know!

    Just because the window's are exposed doesn't automatically mean it's non working.

    Considering this game was released in Brazil, and an NTSC proto dumped by drx already, I don't see how it can be worth over $600, proto or not.

    Hi, you are spot on it is mine, the photos on the Auction are actual screen shots of the game working so the data on the EPROMs is fine, it has been kept in storage for a while away from any bright light!

    With regard to the price not sure where it should be so I started high and have the offer facility, no interest as of yet though!

    You, heres the thing I don't get about uncovered e-proms, Why do people just put something on them like a new cover to keep the windows safe from exposure. anyway cool proto.

    I guess it's to preserve the history of the item, although yeah it would make sense to do so.

    Which is sunlight, which is all around us.

    Also, the eproms can start to suffer bit rot/erasure and still work. You should really cover them

    Covering them is all of 5 seconds and $0.0001 worth of electrical tape.
