mumbai Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I hope the winner know its just a repro It is kinda-sorta specified as such in the listing. It wasn't on the listing prior to this (from another member) upon which the somewhat silly bidding for this specimen is based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the bidding on that one really did get out of hand especially with a Reserve Price of only $82.50. I also fully expected eBay to stop that auction and was very surprised to see it run it's coarse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 So what is the story behind this re-pro, other than the fact that it's insanely overpriced? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Video-Hustler-CIB-Colecovision-Super-Rare-R9-Game-/281209591476 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an unreleased prototype from 30 years ago. Some people found it, made a few carts, CollectorVision made a box for it, and voilà. Incidently, this game is also a bonus game in Konami's Ping-Pong, published by Team Pixelboy (as Konami's Billiards). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 At least this person could have changed the game description toward the bottom of the listing...it's for Burgertime...

That's a pretty hefty markdown which almost makes me want to buy, but what's the point when the rom file is available in the Homebrew Discussion forum absolutely free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that 6k takes up way to much room in your wallet, so here's your chance to finally clean it out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge the rom file for the 32k Prototype is not available, and there is no plans of releasing it. JF would know for sure as far as releasing the rom and if it ever will be released. The rom file that is available is from the retail version of Mario Bros.

Tron Unit Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Retroillucid is apparently taking wait lists for it so there's still a chance of getting this for a reasonable price. Also just downloaded the rom from Collectorvision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelliK111 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Sorry I'm still not clear on what the differences are - is it just the glitches? The difference is that this is the earliest playable version of the game. Its a Prototype so in this version there was no score system set up yet, no intros, collision was off, plus lots of other differences. The game wasn't finished and its more of a proof of concept item. You wouldn't ever play this version over the retail version, the 32k prototype is a piece of Colecovision homebrew history and I think its cool to see games in early form of development. The Rom file that was released by Collectorvision is the released version of the game. Edited March 23, 2015 by RelliK111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tron Unit Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'd rather have a playable version of the game then have a $10,000 clunky prototype for the posterity of bragging rights even if it is on sale for 6k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 ^ Exactly. There is a line in which one side could be considered bragging rights and the other side would be everyone else laughing at you for paying a stupid price for something. This one crosses that line and keeps traveling a few miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
