Skorp | 383 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) 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://web.archive.org/web/20221013143955/https://www.ebay.com/itm/134272604161 Edited March 20, 2023 by Skorp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNESNESCUBE64 | 537 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 That's a lot of money for something with no board pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodysGameRoom | 2,008 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,903 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 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.

Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Buy it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,492 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 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 35 minutes ago, Code Monkey said: I saw the news article about it this morning and my first thought was, "Cool, maybe I'll just buy it."

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link | 2,709 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I just wanna say when posting rare and unusual stuff like this, if the source of information or pictures is ebay, it would be good to include screenshots of what is shown on the links, cuz ebay does not retain info long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I was just speaking generally, it would be good if this site is a repository and people find VGS via search engines and are drawn here when looking for info, so it's a good practice for the strength of this community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
