Sonic Ngage prototype

Here is an interesting prototype.



The line on the back barcode has a red line going through it. I mean come on you wouldn't want some retailer to accidently sell it.



Inside 2 copies of Sonic and 2 of Puyo Puyo. Sonic is marked in red across the labels Prototype not for sale. Puyo Puyo marked in white.



The manual is clearly a work in progress. There are sections for each language but that it is all that is printed on the page.







The back of the instructions is a mirror image of the back of the box without the bar code.

 

Hah, looks interesting, great find..

 

I just noticed it was rated T for Teen.

 

Got this item today too. Nice thing.

These are old versions of the n-gage betas, new have colored stripes.
Now I have 4 old type betas: Tomb Raider, MLB Slam, Puzzle Bubble VS, Sonic N.

 

I was tempted to try to collect NGage prototypes but I originally figured that with such a small market for retail games to start with it wasn't worth trying. That and most NGage titles are just terrible.

You have proven me wrong on at least point #1 but I fear you have cornered the market already.

 

Lol I collect N-Gage Protos for fun only.
I love this console.

 

The graphics look just like the GBA. Can any tell me if there is anything different from the ngage sonicn and sonic advance?:cur_sonic:

 

I'd say the GBA version is better. Didn't think much of SonicN..

 

Anyone here have the alien front demo?

 

Hmm. For some reason even though i never even thought about Ngage in my life, i am really wanting one of these bad boys.

 

I don't think so.

 

Did the NGage have better graphics than standard J2ME phones?

 

lol of course.
Look screens at gamefaqs.

 

sort of OT but god I am still kicking my self for loosing my Tony Hawk beta SD. Maybe i'll get lucky and find it when I move next week but i'm pretty sure it got into a box that had paper/receipts and I just end up throwing it out. :banghead:

Yes because most of the games where written specifically for Symbian 60 OS and in C/C++.

 

Ngage is BY FAR the easiest and cheapest cartridge system to buy protos for.

I think I have close to 100 protos that were aquired almost on accident from buying other lots. They are underpriced compared with any other cartridge based system and when last I checked there were several eBay auctions that contained them. Often sold in lots you can get them for less than $10 each almost every time. Many you find will be the store demos which were used in kiosks (I picked up lots of those for $1 each) but the press ones are out there as well.
