Wow, that's crazy.

I'm kind of sceptical on this..... look at the youtube video

Extending a joke?

 

If you check out the Newground video, you can see the same cart early on. It looks like a different one when they show the cartridge in the ColecoVision.

 

edit: the backstory video, that is: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/571422

OK.... that's clearly BS ... well

So, what do we have here, a total scam?, a homebrew creation?, a homebrew reproduction of the real game or possibly the real deal? The cartridge shell shown on the eBay picture is definetly the Coleco made shell and it had a buy it now for only $50.00!!! when the back story from the link above shows the original eBay sale from years ago at $500.00.

 

Be interesting to hear from the winner of this "Buy it Now" when they receive the cart.

My guess is that it was a joke auction post and the buyer was a shill to complete it. The backstory behind it is pretty funny and worth the listen. It's from a podcast of John Hodgeman, regular guest on The Daily Show. Hodgeman mentions in the story that the only game he ever used a cheatcode for was "George Plimpton's Video Falconry" on his Colecovision.

 

Judge John Hodgman Episode 22: Tips and Tricks and Justice

 

Show: Judge John Hodgman In this episode, we are joined by SPECIAL GUEST and EXPERT WITNESS Morgan Webb, of G4 TV's X-Play. John argues that using a strategy guide when playing a video game is cheating, pure and simple. His friend Josef argues that while it provides an advantage, it's not out of line to use a guide and constitutes no cheating.

Why is something rattling around in my brain about this game from the distant past? After seeing it, it looks familiar to me.
