Even cooler from my standpoint is the fully-localized Battlefields of Napoleon prototype with all the documentation and boards. I'm seriously considering getting in on that auction. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275491251570

Power Glove game. Neat in concept, but probably like the other two games for it. The other game, Battlefields of Napoleon sounds intriguing. Especially since it appears they can do complete reproductions with the original artwork. https://www.engadget.com/nes-games-battlefields-of-napoleon-production-boards-090721687.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVkZGl0LmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAAfGcMdxs1PSdwrGK5ZvuttnW-LuQfn3LfGnB3RTL2lsO73mKn7g9ybsMvqtaas27ftSa-udyuyZpFUTCb-LIm4_gX2WSGYUFfojitGSpfiWAEFq7JRRWAlf9A8hzGCl67BEaMKzf4zykMv7uWRYuCs17yzFPuOdcpZDUBsNf5SF Donate some cash to Lost Levels/Cifaldi so he can buy it.

Buy it anyways.

I saw the news article about it this morning and my first thought was, "Cool, maybe I'll just buy it." Then I looked at the price and nearly choked.

Huh. He also has the POW bracelet for John McCain that was given to his mother when he went missing... allegedly. I'm not saying the protos are fake and sometimes people simply sell off their high-dollar collectibles when they need money but I'll say the stuff this seller has is an odd lot for sure. @Tabonga, that's something you might be interested in seeing.

Seller is also selling a Super Glove Ball proto, and that one has bids up to $14k so what's this crazy world coming too.

Top bidder has 1 feedback lol

Frank Cifaldi is sourcing donations on eBay so that they can obtain it and preserve it within the Video Game History Foundation. I hope he is successful.

That's a lot of money for something with no board pics...

Probably some of you for sure are watching this already, but this seems like a big deal since I haven't seen so much popularity over a prototype like this one since I started collecting 2013. Over 500 watchers and $11k+ bid at time of this post. Now just curious on its history (description says it was suppose to be released with the Power Glove). Definitely a neat historic piece for sure even though it's not a playable prototype in terms of gameplay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134272604161

Another 2 more, the latest in my collection. A Contra: Shattered Soldier preview and a Neo Contra preview. If anyone has any photos of others, please post them.

Added a couple more photos.

Yep!

Thanks for posting. @Ferris Bueller is that the SimCity proto? And random question for anyone who may know, why is Zelda 2 a shell for several protos? I know I’ve seen multiple developers use Zelda 2 shells just like this one and it’s interesting that they’re cut out perfectly for the large dev boards/proto usage. Makes me wonder if someone at Nintendo at some point cut out a bunch of these and sent them along with the dev boards to third party companies to use for prototype development. Just seems odd that there are several protos that use a Zelda 2 shell cut out this exact way but they are not exclusive to one developer.

There's simply not enough proto p0rn happening in here! Here's some to help you through Friday and into the weekend... Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill SNES prototype

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (does not match retail - possible pre-release version, with differences)

I'd love to "join" the club, but there's no join button In the meantime, here's some proto p0rn!

Think for ease of use protos should be a minimum broken down into sections by company of sub categories are possible then by console. Being this site covers all things video games we are no longer under just Nintendo fans eyes.

I made it public. We can make it however we want. Any suggestions just throw them out there. @Gloves I see clubs can have only one mod. I see I cannot add or change. Is it possible to add mod duties to someone else in a club or also change?

Is this club members only or public forum? Is there going to be further break downs on the types of protos to keep general browsing easier?

Show off them protos!
