Awesome find you guys! Thanks for sharing the tale Atro! It always pays to dig around a bit in game graveyards. :)

Edit: boots for sale already!? SMH.

We couldn't avoid any of that ( unless the roms weren't released to everyone ).

It's still quite ridiculous that there are people selling the copy using our footage pics and videos :keke:
Let them be happy... moronic leeches...

I thought dude sold his entire collection, 10 years ago. From perusing his tumblr, it appears he is back into gaming in a big way.

I miss his old sites; they were very informative.

Oh, hey..look, what's this? http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k178440944

And it's not an original, it's a copy...so someone must have burned the yet to be released roms...so something is quite fishy here

I thought the roms were released already. There are a couple posts about it over at KLOV.

Looks like you can sac a Clutch Hitter and convert it to a Hammer Away.

$530 with a day to go!?

This is why we can't have nice things.

Sorry to see that an awesome contribution to the community is already being taken advantage of before most of us even get a chance to play it..

That's why this hobby is fucked. It's all about money now.

I had a conversion made for my brother as an xmas present with the help of an awesome dude on this board. I'll try to get some pics and video of it running at some point. Really cool game, not as flashy or deep as some later shmups but really solid gameplay. Shame it was never released to arcades.

I had seen the story on Hammer Away elsewhere, but it wasn't mentioned that it was neo-geo.com members who found the game. Amazing!

And there's already bootleggers? Bogus.

This was a really cool thread to read through :) and I appreciate donating the ROMs to the MAME community, as it lets all of those people that wish to just play the game but dont have access to original hardware the ability to indulge.

Congrats you three on an awesome find.

This example is sending a fine message to proto hoarders-keep hoarding the protos and not dumping it.
