Military Madness prototype on ebay !

[esteban]

Lee Pappas had a Military Madness/Nectaris fansite a long time ago. He took screenshots the old-skool way, with a camera, then scanned the photographs in (like I said, old skool).

Still, I can't believe the item sold for so much money. Totally not worth it, IMO.

I suppose we should keep an eye on his future auctions, though.

Round Two.  FIGHT!

This one is missing the OMG R4R3 L@@K!!1! plastic eeprom cover, so I say it'll only fetch $1572.

"I've played this game many times and beaten it."

...

"This game has only been played 2-3 times over the past 15 years."


Uh....

[ccovell]

... Yes but between 1989-1995, he played the HELL out of it.   

[nat]

Except his uncle didn't even get it until 1993, which means HE didn't actually get it until that year or later. Assuming he got it later that same year, then yeah, he must have played it continuously 1993-1995.

[RR1980]

wow what a nice guy he gave away the pre release Bomberman I wonder how much would that sell for?

[Tatsujin]

My top bid will be $5,000.

So why didn't you get it then?

Ha!

My top bid will be $5,000.

My true top bid was $100.  That statement was issued soley to keep bidding from getting of hand.  It didn't work...

[NecroPhile]

This one ended right at its reserve price of $1000, and while that's a damn sight more reasonable than the last one, it's still one too many zeros for me.

I tried to sign up earlier but it took forever for the approval.

That was my game and my ebay auction. Im still trying to get back the Bomber Man from my buddy.

[Tatsujin]

Yo Pizza Boy. nice to have you here

What else rare pce/tg16 related is still in your possession?

[Pizza Boy]

None that was it. Im still trying to catch up with my buddy, he said he searched his moms attic for my console and the rest of the games including the Bomber Man prerelease. Im bummed because i sold him my console plus games for like $40 then threw in the BM as a gift. he wasn't allowed to sell them to anyone but me but now they are supposedly missing or destroyed.

[Pizza Boy]

And lol at the comments, yes i played the crap out of it for about 1-2 years i loved that game but then moved on to new consoles and packed it away. I wish i kept it all but sadly i didnt just the last proto of MM, i still want it back. But it sold to a major TG-16 fan and he will add it to his museum.

[TheClash603]

Bomberman pre-release would surely catch more $ than Military Madness.

How did you acquire these items?

[Pizza Boy]

My uncle knew a programmer for NEC, i actually live between two of NEC's facilities. From what I was told and remember my uncle did work for the guy and was given the games as a sort of trade. THe games were never supposed to leave the factory and were supposed to be destroyed but some programmers were allowed to keep a copy or two under the pretense that hey were never to be given/sold to anyone else. My uncle gave me the games about 20 years ago and i played them for about 2 years before boxing them up and storing them. Then a year or two ago i sold th console and games to my wifes friend who was also a buddy to me and i threw in the Bomber Man for free thinking it couldnt be worth much.

[TheClash603]

Lucky man, my uncle's friends were all just druggies and in biker gangs.

Good luck finding the Bomberman proto.  I won't be buying it, too much money, but I would like to see it.  I wonder if there are any differences from the final release?

[Pizza Boy]

Ive played both and found none but again i never finished the game.
