The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

So would it be considered a re release?

EDIT:  Whoops, I see where you said it was never officially released, so that would make it a release.

[SirPsycho]

It makes my copy a prototype now - that's a good thing, right?
Also, that means the database doesn't support it. Time to go remove it.

It might as well have been a proto as broken as that version is.

Just picked these up at CD Tradepost was going too go some other places but it started snowing: 



Not the greatest titles...NES Play Action Manual is practically new even has the cards with it just waiting on an Empty box for my cart and manual from another member on here ;-D thanks again!  And scratch another black box title leaves me with 3 or 4 I believe left to get.  Already had a manual for sky shark anyone have a nice cheap box?? lol if not for that what about Bo Jackson Baseball? I have stuff to trade for them

[GamerNick]

Also I'm confused on the Cheethaman Stuff is it real or repro? or what?? if there repros I want some too lol

[Johnny Nintendo]

Yeah, that NES Play Action Football manual will go nicely with a box  .  I just mailed your stuff out, check your email.  I don't think those games Duke got are considered repros, because the person who put them out has the rights to it.  I know Duke and the other guys brought up this same subject on a recent  Collectorcast episode.

Sweet.  I should listen to the epsidoes... I do like them though they are mighty nice I would love to get my hands on both of those some day.

To answer this properly,
If you know the history of Cheetahmen II, it was found in a warehouse and was never officially released. The game isn't entirely playable - there's a crash trying to load one of the Cheetahmen sprites. The owners of the rights for the Cheetahmen title ran a crowd sourcing effort to "release" a patched version of the game on a physical cartridge (essentially, a cash crab on releasing the already patched ROM on a donor cart).

I'm not bitter to know that a fixed version exists - just that it was an obvious cash grab from the people with the rights. There was no credit given to the people who originally patched it, AFAIK.

[Duke.Togo]

In my opinion this (Cheetahmen II) is an official release, and meets all the definitions of being so.

Thanks for the Info Shadow

I agree with Duke

I agree, too. I also agree that it's a very obvious cash grab. The prices on the "collections" they offer are offensive.

[Duke.Togo]

Can't disagree with the cash grab argument. I wouldn't have gotten "The Creation" if it wasn't a deal in the Kickstarter.

[Fokakis79]

Okay. Here's what I ended up with tonight. There was quite a bit of hardware (NES Control Deck CIB, NES Advantage CIB, NES Zapper CIB, Game Boy CIB, loose NES control deck, loose SNES control deck) and some assorted games both my friend and I had that we're gonna sell to recoup some of what we spent.

Castlevania III is in brilliant shape. II is nearly as good, aside from a tiny crease in the top center of the box.

Mario 2 is just as nice as the Castlevania 3. Somehow, I didn't own a copy of it before tonight.

Castlevania Adventure might be the nicest game of the lot. Looks practically new. Can't decide whether to keep or sell it...

Some of the more notable Nintendo Powers. Issue #2 and #4, Final Fantasy Guide, etc.

The rest of the Nintendo Powers.

Awesome Finds! I am jealous of those Castlevania boxed games.

[moonraker_fats]

Got this in the mail from bickman2k today...he threw in the bag and manual even though they were not part of our deal; awesome dude!

[moonraker_fats]

Made good use of a well needed couple of days off...don't be jealous of that Cyber Cop!
