lithy said:If he would consider selling one of the games, I believe that the community can group up as we were looking to do with Chris Ray's 'protos' (still don't know what was up with these) and buy a couple of them so that they can be dumped, that way no single person has a gigantic investment in a cart that makes them think twice about making their cart worthless.

If a *SERIOUS* effort was put forth to have the community
go all in and get these dumped and have the cart sold on
ebay then dividing the resell price amongst the initial investors
then count OlderGames in for a some bucks.
This would have to be a serious effort and someone like
JK would *HAVE TO* be involved. This is very possible
but I've never seen it done and this is coming from the
guy who at one time owned both master disks for half-life
and prop arena for the dreamcast in addition to one of
2 known alien -vs- predator nearly complete lynx protos
and the all beloved Super Mario's Wacky Worlds on the CD-i.
Unless people get involved and stick to their guns this
will undoubtedly end up in a private collection or stay
where it is. I've dealt in protos many times and own too
many to count. Neo Protos are worth a lot and it would
be a shame to see some of these go for the sake of
value and collectability.
I'll keep my fingers crossed but forgive me if
I don't wish to suffocate whilst holding my breath.
I remember an old article in Gamest magazine on this game -- it was an early version of Breakers. In addition to the different title, the early version also had a few different character names compared to the final version. If I can track down the particular issue of Gamest, I'll try to post some more info.SuperGun said:-- "Chicago" game --
This one carries a 1994 copyright. The "Chicago" sub title may be of confusion to many here, but let it be known that in 1994 Microsoft's BETA of Windows '95 was being tested and was codenamed "Chicago". The beta fell through many hands and in the global view of things it was big news and hype. The programmers at Visco may have simply been tipping their hats (or downing their drinks!) during late night work sessions as is common practice among the over-worked & under-paid employees of software development houses. This title may have been the predeccessor to Crystal Legacy...which was of course the proto and working title for Breakers. Without an in-game screenshot, we don't have much to go on for now.
Id just like to point out that "Mahou Juku" translates to "Magic Cram School" (Juku = Cram school). So this game _is_ the "Magic Cram school" you mentioned. And "Magic Master" could have been this games potential US/EUR title.SuperGun said:-- Magic Master --
BAM! You got me with this one! I cannot hold back here! At first, I thought it MIGHT be the Japanese title screen for Mystic Wand. This based on the fact that many magazines back in 1991 mis-reported the title for Mystic Wand as "Magic Wand". However, after closer scrutiny that would not make sense as the screen is simply way different then that of Mystic Wand. However, the fonts used for the small display text lines are DEFINITELY those used in neo-geo games circa 1990/1991. So, it is more sensible to conclude that this game is one of the great long lost unknown and undiscovered "3 mysteries" which reside in game code locations 012, 013, and 015. Strong support of this theory is in that there is no copyright year displayed, (ALL the other shots had years) and finally in that "Magic Cram School" (never before reported) was in my files as a potential title for one of the 3 mystery spots. This one is HOT and I MUST have that NGH number! A TRUE discovery!
Does this mean you "contributed" a dump of this? *hint*OlderGames said:This is very possible

TonK said:Whats funny is that all of you guys are "ready" to throw down the cash for these games, and you expect other people to do the same... $10, LMAO!
I'm not saying I'm rich, but it took 6 members and a large sum of cash each to "invest" in Ghostlop.
Like I said before, nobody thanked us, minus a few good people who PM'd me and said thanks.
You know what?
All of you got to play Ghostlop for FREE because of us.
I don't want to be a hero for it, but a little gratitude would be nice.
I'm one of the "investors" and if the others want to step forward, they can.
Remember al of the drama and hate Ghostlop caused?
These games are not about the love of gaming, they are about CASH!
VanillaThunder said:Nope, it was a publicity stunt for his sale.
If you think that sale was legit, you're fucking kidding yourself.
TonK said:I'll sit this one out, as the original investors of Ghostlop never got a proper "thanks" from anybody.
Setsuna1982 said:what i don't understand is why anybody must pay in order to play a rejected game. imagine people paying more to have a defective car
anyway thanks, tonk
TonK said:Fuck him.
And that's it right there. Bottom line is this guy's not going to release these roms, or show us the carts or whatever. I'd bank on the fact that this guy is loving all this drama too and laughing about all of the fuss.TonK said:Whats funny is that all of you guys are "ready" to throw down the cash for these games, and you expect other people to do the same... $10, LMAO!

Sumez said:OlderGames' "idea" sounds quite noble. But it sounds like a pretty pointless project, considering Xacrow has already dumped the roms...

There were 6 of us I believe.
TonK said:Because people are greedy bastards...
This guy could release the roms and make everyone happy, but instead he wants to hoard them and release "ha ha, I have these games" screenshots.
Fuck him.

Off topic:
I never heard of a proto for Super Mario's Wacky Worlds for the CD-i before. Are there copies of the game to be had anywhere to play on a CD-i, or is there just a known proto for the game somewhere? I saw a site showing screenshots, specific disc information and homebrew label scans, but no rom for the game as far as I can tell anywhere.
SuperGun said:Also VERY important to note is the significant observation of "pixel rot" which can clearly be seen throughout the shot.
