Hmmm ok, they claim that they have 500 copies, yet they only have 3 to auction?

Ohhh I get it, they must have sold all the rest to that large NGF buyer base they have...

Also I like this quote in the auction:

"Basically available only on AES format. There are a few test MVS cartridges floating around, but the game was never fully released on MVS."

"Basically" your full of shit.

The game was pretty much shelved since 1994, until it was recently dug up and released on MVS (looked like a full kit to me, numbered carts and boxes), are they trying to tell me that after all those years they could only come up with a beta test to release on MVS?

They also say in the auction it's never been emulated, those screenshots they have sure look lik they were taken from an EMU to me, nice and clean, VGA look to them.

BS, their "aes" version and the MVS version are the same game, unless dion hacked the code to have the NGF logo show at startup (which I wouldn't put past him), but we all know he's not that smart, he can't even copy and past in IE.

I 'm waiting to hear someone that gets one, cracking it open and seeing it's a conversion job...

Not if you value money, or carts. Would you stick your head into an open lions mouth? There are a few that do regularly. But they live in a circus. An outssider that tried would get his head bitten off. That analogy fits NGF well.

Good analogy, but maybe a lion's ass would be better? <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

Strange - on their site the price is $799 - wonder if it'll reach that <img src="graemlins/shame.gif" border="0" alt="[Shame]" />

Yeah I guess you're right =/ Who knows wheter or not those carts are fake. #-_-. Then again if I'm buying fake carts, why not buy em with fake money. How does paying with monopoly money sound? Tee hee hee ^_^::: :p :p

If you owned an original copy of the 'DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE' which is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars,maybe a mil or two and decided to ink -YOUR- signature on that historic docum
ent...How much would it be worth?
The "value" would drop considerably.
That is exactly what NGF "freaked merchandise" is..
The package is the most important part of the AES cart.If "packaging"is blatantly destroyed (FREAKED),what you have is someting equivalent to MVS.
