NES Sim City Proto Found

[snes_collector]

This has been talked about for years, nice to see it hasn't been lost to time. Maybe the owner will dump it for everyone.

I've always wanted to play a crippled version of Sim City.

 

[Dr Shroom]

someone needs to beat the shit out of that kid.

Maybe if we send muchi muchi spork to go harass them

It can't be any worse then the C64 version I had as a kid. It's pretty cool these things are still being discovered.

Looks like shit but all those man titty cunts out there will be splurging all over this one. What a joke.

That person speaking in the background needs to David Carradine him/herself.

This.

...although, I did love the SNES version way back when.

 

[snes_collector]

They finally rescued the copy from Jerry's apartment.

 

[Dr Shroom]

That's still the SNES version, fagit.

 

[gusmoney]

More importantly, why does Jerry own two copies of True Colors?

 

[snes_collector]

You are right, that is the SNES version. I didn't realize he upgraded. Here's the NES version:

lmao

how can you verify this is an actualy proto and not homebrew

 

[snes_collector]

There is an issue of Nintendo Power that shows the proto in a gold Zelda case, and that exact board is shown in the video

 

[Tanooki]

I've wanted a crack at that since it popped up in NP years ago with Earthbound on the same page. I hope that guy makes that public.

 

[Jibbajaba]

I hope they make a limited run of repro carts so that I can put one on my shelf.

[FilthyRear]

"for the community"

 

[Tanooki]

I have no problem admitting it. I'd wait for someone to put one on a cart and pay for it if it was worth it. Fuck that community, the Nintendo one went off the deep end years ago. In the mean time it would give me a reason to put a controller on my laptop and emulate it to see if it's worth it.

How could a NES version of Sim City in 2017 possibly be worth it? Even in 1997 I wouldn't have played that shit. There are far superior versions to be had. What would the point be other than retro hipster "look at me gaiz, I'm playing Sim City on my super 80's retro NES" cred.

You are worse than xorthen and uiengineer combined.

While this might not be the best way to play Sim City I'm glad to see someone has finally found a copy.

Living in the land of Nintendo it wasn't uncommon to know people that worked for them. I recall knowing a few different people that had worked for them when I was a kid back in the NES era. One kids dad worked for them when Sim City was being done and had brought it home for the weekend. And we played the shit out of it for that entire weekend. I'd wanted to have a copy when it was going to be released, but it never got a release even though it seems to have been finished (or almost finished). And in the years since I've wondered why no one had made public a copy of it as most other stuff seems to have been made available or at least made known.

So yeah, I'd like to give it a go again. Dat nostalgia...

 

[oldschool]

One of the most sought after unreleased NES games, and this dude walks into a store with 2 existing prototypes of the game? With the amount of money these will sell for, I'm thinking a mass release would have to happen to break even.

 

[ChopstickSamurai]

That's being far too generous.

Plus turn your phone on it's side while filming! Watching videos in portrait mode on YouTube makes me want to Carradine myself.

I have to agree. There's some old games that are worth playing, and some that are just a waste of time or being "nostalgic" just for the hell of it.

A random example would be arcade NARC. Can you play shit versions of it on various systems including the NES? Sure. Why you would possibly do that when arcade perfect translation are available is beyond me.

Sim City on the NES is a complete waste of time in 2017.

faggots whiteknighting the stupid kid in hopes of not pissing off the uploader and getting a dump.
go kill yourselves, fucking retro faggots.

That is pretty wild. Did you never get to play anything else unreleased or in beta form?

Amen!
