This game is excellent and is lots of fun!
An amazing find!
I am truly on cloud nine and full of happiness!
Happy!! Happy!! Joy!! Joy!!
eek!
Also, unlike all the other SELFISH collectors
who refuse to SHARE proto pics & info,
(we all know who they are) I handle things
PROPERLY like they should be done.
I have placed the COMPLETE story with
screenshots, pics, etc. at this website:

My own proto-page website also has additional
information on this and all the other protos,
but the bandwith there is VERY LIMITED.
So since I wanted everyone to be able to see
and read all about this development, I contacted
a very good friend of mine (Vinh Trieu) and asked
for his help to place it on his new site.

Many thanks to him for hosting my Ghostlop story!

Billy Pitt

Naw, how would you make money off of it, if everyone had it. It's an investment.

c.t.h · May 9, 2003

I wonder if playmore would ever consider releasing this game, it sounds pretty good.

RabbitTroop · May 9, 2003

Wow, sounds real nice. Glad it has been found... and I am surprised Billy is willing to sell it! $3500 really doesn't seem that steep, shit, Slug is almost there loco Anyway, atleast we know more about it now... thanks for the review,

...must...dump..cart...

RevQuixo:
...must...dump..cart...

Seriously, we already lost one proto to a flood. And I remember how Billy was acting towards arcade when he had some proto games... Saying he wanted them produced for everyone! So... Billy, how about it? You want to share this game with everyone or simply make $3500 on it.

Actually, the investment part is really key here, for a few reasons. One... If the game is dumped, and released even, it still wouldn't drop the value of this cart. Look at Slug 1... as I said before, it is not only dumped, it is available pretty easily in both home and MVS form... and it is still fetching lots of money, this proto will not loose any value to a collector if it is released to the public.

Second, it may make the value go up, since I know how I am... I am intrigued now, but if it plays as good as it sounds I may be sold... So much so I have to own it... you know what I mean?

For a lot of reasons the game should be dumped, forget about the sharing aspect even, and think about the proto we lost in the flood... Shit happens, and I hate to talk about disastor type situations, but... if it is something that can be duplicated and kept safe, then I am all for it!

Please dump it. This isn't going to harm anyone.

Hey B, thanks for sharing and all. Nice to see someone who actually gives a shit, keep on rockin.

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't there a very good chance that it would harm Billy and anyone involved with the dumping/hosting itself? Playmore's been a bit sue-happy lately...

Or do they have no authority over this proto (seeing as it was developed by Data East)?

But yeah, if it's "safe", I'd love to try it out.

bokmeow · May 9, 2003

We could use another puzzle game. Let's hope that once Pochi to Nya is released on MVS, it generates renewed interest to continue publishing on the MVS as an inexpensive way to generate revenues and advertise games, then Playmore and other companies can bring home the cash cow when they publish these games on the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox.

The Future of Advertising is Now!

I remember being like 10 years old and listening to that song, it was the most awesome thing in the world.

Of course all the old people at the place we were staying at (we were on vacation when I snagged a copy of the song) were wondering what this stupid white kid was doing jumping all over the place.... wink
