    The owner is on the boards, perhaps you might make an offer, buy it and release it.

    Don't pay too much if it just the ROM you are after. There are more than 10 copies of this cart out there.

    Could be a bit more and could be a bit less but yes ~10. The ownership may have changed in a few of those cases since then. I used to try and keep track of this sort of thing but no longer buy things like this.I either knew the owners or knew of one for sale etc.

    DreamTr can verify this if you question my accuracy.

    I dont question your accuracy, just interested in how you know this fact, that's all! I've been trying to get a full 32X collection together for some time and I'm only missing the usual suspects (T-Mek etc) and a couple of american releases. Proto's would be a nice area to collect but I have seen some 32x proto price and at 750 euros a piece they are a little out of my price range :crying:

    Nope never had a job for any game company as far as I know. Just a collector.

    Yes I know exactly who it is that has more than one. However, if he wants to tell the world that is up to him.

    My point is just that there are several of these owned by several different people. It will be dumped someday by someone so while a $100 is on the low side I wouldn't pay thousands for one. They are far from one of a kind.

    I would be interested in getting a dump of any/all of these. Could you provide some information or put me in contact with said party?

    Then SEGA cleans out the old conference room and finds they used a couple to prop up a couch noone has sat on since the gajin guy farted on it in 89. Don't hire programmers with immaculate handwriting skills that the Execs assume is just part of the label artwork.

    I was always fascinated at all the people who had copies, and were willing to dump, then nothing, especially with the number of copies that have sprung up over the few years that Ive been watching.

    Well if someone is offering the ROM for 250 it sounds like it doesn't matter. I'm sure that they can raise 250 for this one and everyone that wants it will have it. Still if you think it matters next time I see him I'll tell him about this thread. I don't think he is a member of these forums.

    Both this and x-men seem to be floating out there in good amounts, it just seems like the rom images haven't floated to the surface yet. It's like half a dozen other prototypes that mysteriously won't surface.... I blame the space where left socks go.
