prototypes

[turbog]

Has anyone seen any for the turbografx. Does anyone here have any?

[PikachuWarrior]

Yesterday I was wondering the same thing!

[VestCunt]

some Military Madness prototypes sold on ebay in the last couple years.

Arkhan is making some new prototypes.

[PikachuWarrior]

making?

[ccovell]

A couple fanatical French collectors have lots.  As for true US TG prototypes, I haven't seen any except for the ones put up on eBay recently by a former VG&CE mag writer.

I used to have a Parasol Stars proto for the PCE, but sold it quickly (it was identical or near- to the final version anyway).  Nothing too special.
I also used to have this:  https://www.chrismcovell.com/TsushinBooster/  It was great fun.

Lol holding out on them I see.  Don't forget about your Power Console proto.

[NecroPhile]

I have one that looks an awful lot like this one:

I was actually considering adding that one to my list, but I figured that one had been driven to the ground.

I do recall a few years back someone had an Off the Wall proto, & I think they even showed a video of it.

Is that, like, a prequel to Moonwalker?

Talked about in a lot of threads.  Here's one:

[PikachuWarrior]

Yeah, I saw that topic before. Is it a independent company putting protypes of games together on a custom-made HuCard or what?

I wish that one would get dumped.  Check out some pics over at the Archives:

That.. means.. you don't have it anymore? 

[ccovell]

Yep, sold it.  Needed money for... well, check out the top of my homepage for the reason...     (Derail over!)

You & me both.  If anything, I'd worry about that proto getting destroyed in a fire or just plain not working anymore, & then "poof", it's gone with the wind.  Really, same goes for any proto, PC Cocoron comes to mind.  Anyways, that's my excuse for why I want people to dump proto's that probably cost them $1000 or more to aquire, if only to preserve the game forever in the community.

Necro linked to the page (the top of the page) with "Off the Wall" prototype, but here's the link to...

TENGEN, THE THIRD PARTY THAT NEVER WAS  

 

There was a video? I think I have a video of the game in action.

TENGEN, THE THIRD PARTY THAT NEVER WAS

Yeah, I remember a video on youtube, but I can't find it anymore.

I always wanted Pit Fighter for the TG(both Hu & CD versions from what I recall), even though the game is trash, there are still far worse games.  Plus, who knows, maybe Tengen would've made an adventure mode as a bonus   But yeah, Rampart, or maybe Toobin, 720', or even Paperboy would've been MUCH better!  Though, I think the only other Tengen games known about were Marble Madness & Peter Packrat IIRC.

BTW, in that article, I noticed a flaw.  You state that Radiance only made Sidearms(well, atleast puplished), but they also developed Talespin & Darkwing Duck!  Such a glaring mistake cannot go unpunished!  Also, I might mention, Accolade was responsible for Turrican, Gunboat, AND both versions of Jack Nicklaus Turbo Golf!  For shame Esteban, for SHAME!!

Aha! Thank you so much for pointing out these mistakes!  

 I'll have to fix that!  .

Thanks again. That's why I ask for folks to correct errors they see on any page .

[soop]

Wow, Astralius looks like it would have been great.

[TheClash603]

Anyone know how much Off The Wall sold for in 2005?  Who bought it?

Pit Fighter would have been awesome.  Was it actually shown running on TG16 hardware at some point?

[NecroPhile]

I don't remember how much it sold for, but methinks Thibaut bought it (clicky).

[ParanoiaDragon]

Hmm, I don't recall it being him.  Does he speak english?  I recall the guy who won it speaking fluent english, but, my memory could be faulty.

[NecroPhile]

Thibby speaks English quite fluently, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was him.  Still, there can't be all that many proto copies of Off the Wall running around.

[TheClash603]

Well, Off The Wall is a cool find nonetheless, now we just need Arkhan to do repros on his new hucards.

However, Pit Fighter is the true TG16 holy grail (nevermind Bonk RPG or Strider).

[JapanTokei]

Did any member on this forum ever see actual pics of pc cocorun ?  To me its all hearsay.  Never seen the item.  I just have mags that had previews of it.

I believe, with all my heart, that one day I will be able to play PC Cocoron.

Seriously.

Now, I might have to sell my soul to LucyFur in order to achieve this, but I'll do it.

[Arkhan Asylum]

BASTARDS.

[turbog]

So nobody here owns one? How can that be? PM me if you have anything.

[VestCunt]

Fucking noob spam.

Anyone else get this in their PM today?

Hi there,

Do you have any prototypes? Thanks.

Not cool dude. I don't own any prototypes and have never said anything that might lead someone to believe I do.

He's been a member for two weeks and every one of his posts was been begging for random rare shit, but nothing in particular.  "Anyone have anything valuable that I can BUY? I don't care what, as long as it's expensive."

EDIT: And don't try to track down/stalk former employees and inactive members. Who are you and what rock did you crawl from?

[turbog]

Usually quotes are used to repeat someone's words. Not to put words in their mouth. But, which part of any of my posts is inappropriate for this forum exactly, and how is your rude response at all appropriate?

[PikachuWarrior]

I got a PM from this person as well, and never indicated that I had any prototypes. I think it's a scheme to message as many people as possible in hopes he would find someone that says yes.

[turbog]

I was reading some old posts, which I thought was encouraged. Something you specifically mentioned in one of them was why I asked you. It wasn't done at random, and it was a sincere question. I asked only a few people actually, and I was never rude about it either.

I still don't see how any of this is untypical use of the forum. Since when is it a scheme to offer money to purchase something? Is there a rule somewhere that says I need to have been here for x amount of time before I can post such things? I don't get it.

[turbog]

I'd also like to add that I'm liking the forum, since I'm a fan of the games and systems, like you all are. So if anyone has any real constructive criticism, or advise about something I'm doing wrong, I will pay close attention. I'm here to enjoy the discussions, and have only sincere intentions. Thanks go out to the large majority of you, who have been friendly to a new member like myself.

[PunkCryborg]

Thibaut always sells demo stuff and has a lot of proto stuff but I doubt you'll score some with a thread like this. You probably have to duke it out with other people on ebay for one or be in the loop with the the Frenchies and their Japanese connections

[VestCunt]

I owe you an apology. You didn't deserve what I said and I'm sorry.

The approach taken by a lot of collectors these days is very different from mine and I've grown to distrust people whose primary motivation is to buy and collect.

Your message wasn't rude, but was totally generic so I thought it was spam. If someone says something that sparks your interest, it wouldn't hurt to mention it on your message. Likewise, feel free to share a little about yourself and what specific items your looking for. You'll build relationships and sound less like a vacuum cleaner of collectibles.

[turbog]

Thanks vestcunt, I appreciate that. It was big of you to say so. No hard feelings.

I guess I was mostly curious about what types of unconventional items were still out there. I figured a great place like this, full of fans, would turn up something interesting and worthy of discussion.

As far as the system itself goes, I've been a big fan for years. I find there to be so many great games, and probably many I've yet to fully discover. Either way, I'm sure this is the right place.   

[VestCunt]

No hard feelings.

Ditto

[turbog]

Does anyone else think it would be really interesting to see what SF2 would have looked like during development?

[NecroPhile]

Not really; I wouldn't expect it to be too terribly different from the final result (other than parts being incomplete), seeing as they knew what they were up against.  I'd expect it to have slightly better animations that ended up getting pared down for size and/or it looking a bit worse from trying to make it fit in a smaller huey than what they ended up with.

[Sadler]

Wasn't SF2 supposed to be a chip/cd hybrid initially? Wonder how far down that path they went...

[roflmao]

I was thinking the same thing.  It would be neat to find a prototype that used both.

It may very well have been as much an invention by EGM as Sheng Long.
