where this guys share the roms dump?
So a friend of your Show sent you These Prototypes and you Even do Not SAY his Name?!? How greedy Are you??
Set the games free ! :)
How can I get this?
Hi, do you preserve these online? Or are they inaccessible?
I hope they make this a full game.
The Scotland flag is wrong in World Class Soccer, not sure if it's like that in the final version lol
Only reason why should dumb em should be keep only for the owner
Im an android user, and i dont know how to download the patch/rom from github. How do i download the patch/rom from github?
The copyright symbol had some complex rules in US laws; they mostly ended in 1989, but prior to that, a "c 1988 Game Company" could be legally deficient and result in losing copyright that a proper copyright symbol could have protected.
Wooow i remember playing Super Battle Tank 2, Stargate, and Super Empire Strikes Back waaay back in 96, when my bros werent playing Zelda, Final Fantasy 6, Secret of Mana, or Mario RPG lol
That Scotland flag was looking kinda weird in that fitba game 😅 🏴
Dump & share the ROMs! As soon as you can.
2:15 I love those NCL official prototype cart labels. They look so swag.
Would be curious to know how much the Star Wars prototype wound up costing the buyer who sent it in..
The title screen art reminds me of Ghost in the Shell - Masamune Shirow. Game has a slick presentation. No doubt if this came out in 1999 is would've been a big hit.
7:06 just love the uninterrupted sass for a straight minute
Don't waste your time cracking open a cold one yet, crack open a wata sealed game first, then the cold one will taste... colder, so better.
Thanks for sharing about these prototypes. The next episode's going to be great!
These are amazing finds. And yeah, I don't get what the deal with collectors is, the whole idea of "losing money" by sharing the rom sounds weird to me. There are high quality scans of the Mona Lisa and there have been accurate reproductions of that famous painting, yet the OG Mona Lisa is still worth Millions of dollars. By their logic, the original painting should be 'completely worthless' now because a reproduction exists out there. Dumping a rom doesn't (or shouldn't) devalue the OG cartridge. So it's basically just a hoarder thing: "I have this and you don't! Har-har!"
I can not wait until someone does a fan patch project to add back cut contact soon
Damn, still no Ultimate Journey or Shogun Maeda.
You are the heroes of the canceled lost games.
I would love it so much that you check all the differences in the Stargate Game. Thank you
☠️
@@hard4games What?, I don't want to be the one suffering through this... I'd much prefer to watch your pain than experience it for myself! 🤣
To destroy all rated games like that ✊🏻
The idea of sealed games go's against the entire purpose of it being a game... TO BE PLAYED! Collectors like that anger me. Its not a show piece, play it or pass it along to someone else who will.
Congrats on freeing a prototype from being lost.
Can't wait for Tony to play Stargate
5:03 wow, this is interesting, ITOCHU was the official authorized dealer of nintendo in Mexico in the 90's until the early 2000s
Systematic WATA destruction.
Still holdin' out hope for Impossible Mission 2025.
I use an old Sony DVD Recorder that converts S-Video , composite and Scart to HDMI, also a big CRT HD Sony TV that offers me really good compatibility with the DVD recorder. SO basicly I connect my 240p 3DO and other S-Video consoles (like N64) to an S-Video Switcher (with remote) connected to an S-Video Splitter , in order to sent the image to 6 different screens and devices as upscalers, My ELGATO Game Capture device or my ols Sony DVD recorder. This one upscales all my S-Video and Scart signals to up 1080i a pretty nice way to decrease to the minimum the input lag and watch in the best quality at my old Sony CRT HD TV... To be honest my setup is much more complex than this, cause it includes Different kind of cables and consoles, like COMPONENT consoles, COMPOSITE consoles, Switchers and Splitters by each kind of signal, differents upscallers for all thos kind of cables,a big Proyector, a Home Theater and the sound converted to Digital, WIth very long cables to connect all this to the different 3 zones at my game room, that goes all the way to the floor in big metallic cable conduits ... and btw also Controller extensions trough the same metallic cable conduits to reach the 2 drawwers were I save my console controllers for playr 1 and 2.
Wow, it's been a while since we've been blessed with John's presence!
"Theyre so hard!" for games? 😎
I’m glad that the new owner of the WATA sealed game wants to do the right thing and preserve it. We need more people like that in the community
WATA means nothing. It does not matter to open it.
It was the person who bought it from the hoarder and sent it along to this channel. The original hoarder gets no credit :)
@@common_c3nts yeah we all know and agree WATA is worthless. The point is, it's a prototype of a beloved game that was going to be lost to history. It matters opening it, it matters dumping it.
I will hope this is sarcasm and laugh at this joke! (WATA is a cancer in the gaming industry!)
Tony from The Muppets, and John from The Office
Smashy smashy!
Seems like most of the prototype games you find are pretty far along in development or basically finished. Were these cartridges ever used for development purposes or were they mainly just created to send out to reviewers shortly before release?
Hahah you guys seem to love the modern hand-holding stuff... Might want to delve into more retro games before giving your opinion on whats "hard"...? Haha just saying... Awesome video tho, hope you will upload these ROMs to the web no matter if you think its the final version or not.. Small byte differences might mean more than you think..
-I’m better than you. I preserve games by buying physicals, I even have unreleased games with just one copy. -Really? How do you preserve them? -I encase them so they won’t ever be touched. Do that with digital!! -Well, I make back ups often, if my console breaks and the servers go down, all I need is a hack or an emulator to play again. What happens if those carts and discs break? Did you dump them so you can play them again? Did you even play or test them? -Why, no. But is preserved. -Sure. “Preserved”.
John lookin' like he's about to put some dinosaur Embryos in a can of Barbasol
Really wish you guys got more recognition. Your content's (usually) pretty interesting and it's baffling how some of this stuff hasn't exactly blown up
Preserving is the new word for pirating...
No. They don’t make money by selling the copyrighted material. Piracy is piracy, sharing is not piracy.
I can’t wait to see that wata box cracked open
preserving history one cart at a time. you guys rock.
...Why is it with these prototypes the chips are sticking out of the cartridge shell? O.o
They use sockets so the chips can be easily swapped. Sockets make it so they cannot fit in the original case.
WATA is evil - crack that case!
I really like the shirt of the cute guy on the right. Slay
There are a few videos with an earlier batman returns version with a different hud and probably a few changes
huh don't think I've heard of mad champ but sounds really interesting, basically anime road rash? and even if it's just star wars, hats off to freeing that one from its WATA prison to share with the rest of the gaming populace! I'm also disgusted at the ROM hoarder types, not gonna lie.
