I made one of those LPT cables once.  I'm not sure why but back around 2005 I got interested in the idea of homebrewing something for the GB and I found docs and an article on how to load data through the link port.  I recall making a Hello World app for it but nothing else.

I threw away the cable years ago but, once again, I regret getting rid of my personal gaming history!

That's cool. Things have come a long way since the parallel port days, but it's fun to play with old tech.

Looking for an EZ-Flash III complete in box: with cable, linker, cart and CD. Mint or vgc. Cart size doesn't matter.
Also interested in a bootleg? version using an LPT connector called EZ-Flash B. Please see pic.

Without digging into 4 pages of messages, are you saying you’ve been waiting decades for a game that was unreleased, assuming that a prototype would be dumped at some point in the future?

In a way, yes. I've been waiting over 10 years, for the Resident Evil/Biohazard 0 N64 builds to be leaked. People no doubt remember the whole RE 1.5 thing and how long that took.

There are people out there who do just buy games to conceal them in their collections scrubbing what little info there was about it (usually unless someone saved a copy of the sales/auction page.

While I enjoy hoarding rare physical items, pre-release data is an exception. A private back up does not always guarantee that the data will be preserved; and if perceived decreased value of the media is the issue, a fundraiser can be organized for a public release. I'm not talking about anyone in particular btw, just my 2c

The only thing that really pisses me off, is when something highly desirable gets teased and then denied those fans who have been waiting decades for it. I get that it's their property and maybe they just want to show it off, but sometimes it's better not to imho.

No idea, but super cool item!

Looking for the following.  I have confirmed some of these to exist, hence the additional details. I'd like to list Resident Evil here, but that's an extremely long shot!

Deathtrap Dungeon 1996/ 1997/1998 (Any PC/PS1 builds)
Ghost in the Shell (11/4/97)
Ghost in the Shell (JPN 6/13/97)
Oddworld - Abe's Oddysee (7-18-97)
The City of Lost Children (23-12-96)

Bonjour esque l'un des objet ici peut etre acheter ? 

Sorry, I don't have any of these. I am also looking to buy them.

Any have one of these lying around? It's basically a folder containing eight printed sheets, promoting their games. Offering $300 for a complete example.

The problem always seems to begin when someone who has a desirable prototype wants to show it off. This triggers certain individuals to get mad because they feel that it should be made public now that they are aware of it's existence. Btw, if anyone owns Resident Evil 0 for the N64, it's about time it was dumped ya know

Oddworld Abe's Oddysee UK promo mug.

Looking for Sailor Moon Action flipz C4 and SP. Also interested in the following expo program guides.

AnimeCon 1991
Anime Expo 1992
Anime Expo 1993
Anime Expo 1994
Otakon 1994
Otakon 1995
Otakon 1996
Otakon 1997
Otakon 1998
Otakon 1999

I will always be on the side of preservation when it comes to prototypes, even if it means a private dump is all that exists. There are still some protos I would kill to see released, though! I am mostly intersted in PS1 games, and have dumped a few discs before. In the end I get to keep the physical media and the data is safer out there than only with me.

It's sad but it's true, and any sealed PC enthusiast has at least a couple of amazing brand new sealed games with wavy/arched outer box because of the shrinkwrap, you can sort of see it on OmegaRod's copy, though it's not too bad on there.

The problem is, it's warped already, so might as well keep it sealed. If you open it now, the paper/carboard isn't magically going to straghten up again - it's not a memory spring.

Yes, this makes finding perfect copies a challenge. OmegaRod's copy is very nice, and one would be hard-pressed to find a better one. The only exceptions to the rule I've seen are some releases where the the box is made of a thicker cardboard such as Daggerfall, and the shrink has vent holes. In these cases however, the shrink will likely start to break instead. Choose one

I'd rather a mint unsealed copy than a sealed copy tbh. Sticker seals are pointless since the box still gets damaged, and shrink-wrap tends to crush the life out of boxes, so you get a crumpled "fair/ acceptable" copy.

Finally got another one of these classics on my shelf!

Hi there. Looking to buy the following promotional items from Silent Hill 2 and the original PlayStation Oddworld games.

Silent Hill 2

Silent Hill 2 Heat Sensitive Mug
Silent Hill 2 Metal Konami Style Pin

Oddworld

Abe's Exoddus Bottle Opener Keyring
Abe's Exoddus Plastic Promo Cup
Abe's Exoddus Metal Logo Pin
Abe's Exoddus Pinback Button
Abe's Oddysee Pinback Button
Oddworld Inhabitants Logo Patch
Oddworld Inhabitants Enamel E3 Pin
Mudokon Expressions Stickers

Absolutely. Once I realized how out of hand this was gonna get, I started to cut back. Now I just collect the things which are most personal to me; the biggest obstacle being the super hard-to-find stuff. I am content with quality over quantity.

Though I am not a NES collector, the same thing goes for old Korean PC games. It is normal for them to sell for $500+. The price no doubt goes up when something rare makes its way onto the foreign market, just because of the exclusive nature of these things.
