I Just got my Retrode & finally copied this thing! Here is the Rom: https://mega.co.nz/#!DNYS2DgR!YwuYqDG1SULHdcNCf5-aYQ4jW01pYMk2jPswFysCup0 ********************************************************************* I have finally had a chance to play the game and take video. I am disappointed to say that it is not an early prototype. It has the sega sound & logos clipped out of the title screen & starts you out with 40 lives. This version seems different then any of the pirates because it is impossible to put in the level select without interrupting the demo first. Up down left right does nothing... Only after you interrupt the demo and see the "sonic team presents" for the 1st time can you input the code. I have the other pirate versions on emulator and they all let me put in the code straight away. There are also other graphical glitches that I have taken video of by playing through the entire game and collecting all emeralds. When you are finally able to get the level select and play the special stage & collect the emerald, it will start you off with 3 lives in the 1st level instead of 40. Here are a couple of glitches I was able to produce while playing through... The video of gameplay: [video=youtube_share;LZ-tReVwSTQ]http://youtu.be/LZ-tReVwSTQ[/video]
Nice find and thanks for the longplay video! I'll bet there are some Sonic-Fans inspecting your video right now ;-)
After this I was expecting something a bit less shitty quality =p Joking aside, it's too bad it really is a pirate. I wonder if the seller just added that Telegames stuff as a joke? I don't see any reason they would be sent a pirate from Sega, assuming it really did come from there. That sticker inside the cart also makes it look like it's got some official stamp of approval on it. I'm really so lost what is going on with this cart.
Here is some more info I just received from the seller... "Tele games uk limited closed about 2003 and they had lots of cool retro games some of which i bought but most were shipped back to japan telegames was always highly priced and when ebay became popular it finished them although i see now their website has recently started up and running again. With no stock? Anyway it came with a box of stuff other games and pc boards. I will show u some pictures later. As i only collected jap import games which are new with manuals etc. I was never really bothered with the unboxed stuff but they did give me their shop video in which sonic and other games were used. This was the contents of the box."
Yea, I was going to post it to the old topic over there but it got locked... I will post it soon. I'm glad to finally release this!
