GenesisGamer Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 141899062135 Here is your chance to own a piece of video game and baseball history. This is the lost game that never made it to video game systems, despite years of great success on home computers. This is for a extremely rare (possibly only one in existence) Earl Weaver Baseball "Preliminary Version" game cartridge for Sega Genesis. The game has been tested and works as a Alpha version game should. I have been in contact with video game experts and even staff that worked for Electronic Arts around the time this game was created. You can have all of that correspondence when you purchase this piece of video game history. An interesting story for one of the most advanced baseball games of it's time. This is one of the rarest Sega Genesis games currently in existence. Online research shows that the ROM for the Genesis version of this game has never been released and no known prototypes exist (until now).

+save2600 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 What do you mean when you say "works as a Alpha version game should"? Not complete? Buggy? Any more screenshots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more in the $300 to $500 range with a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I think you can do better than just a title screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenesisGamer Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) You're right I could do better, I was trying to get a good set up going to take video. I apologize for the shaky video. @Save2600 Yes the game play for me ... (though I have never played the game extensively) seemed to be good overall. However I think as far as I can remember there was never any sound on this game, and probably why I never played it often. And Yurkie, honestly I will accept reasonable authors I didn't know what this was worth. I put a $10,000 buy it now to create a buzz and a reaction just like yours. I do have the best offer option and will entertain reasonable offers. Edited February 12, 2016 by GenesisGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Looks like it could have been one of the better Genesis Baseball games at the time (loved it on Amiga BITD). Too bad about the sound effects though. Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound and speech were some of the more stand-out features on the Amiga original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya 10 grand is too much for a video game. I don't care how rare it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Does look like the beginnings of a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojay1997 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I put a $10,000 buy it now to create a buzz and a reaction just like yours. I do have the best offer option and will entertain reasonable offers. I've never understood this approach. Outrageous start pricing has the exact opposite impact on me. I just assume anyone that is so unrealistic would be insulted by a market value offer and ignore their auctions. I'm sure many people take my same approach and you're missing out on people who actually have the money to make a good offer, but won't deal with you because of your ridiculous starting price.

I'm sure many people take my same approach and you're missing out on people who actually have the money to make a good offer, but won't deal with you because of your ridiculous starting price. Bingo! My take exactly. An unrealistic high opening price angers me enough that I refuse to even try an offer no matter how much I'm interested in the item. Happiestsellerever is another example of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
