I never really called it a hook shot when i was a kid, i always called it a chain gun. But my favorite zelda item is the bombchu :3
Anyway, 27 days to see if someone really wants this thing. I wonder if its actually going to sell, or if we will see it show up again with a lowered price.

You will not see this relisted if it doesn't sell. There would be no point to lower the price as it has a best offer option. It's unfortunate but this auction has brought out some of the worst in people. Not here of course but on other sites. This place has been very cool from the start yet other sites I've been insulted etc. oh well I guess. Anyway if it does not actually sell it'll get put right up on the shelf. I love this freaking thing. I have recorded a video that'll post later which shows me playing the proto.

I'll look forward to seeing the video then, I'd like to see whats so special.

The game is the only known NES Proto. It literally is the launch of the Zelda franchise, that's why it's so special. The game itself as far as I know is not materially any different. Imagine the Dev team working on this item at NOA. That is pretty special IMO. I'll get the vid up for you.

Me? How so? Now I'm a thief, wow.

To clarify pingouin I'm selling the proto along with the Factory Sealed version. The actual Proto is still playable.

according to the seller (on another forum) he got a legit offer of $25,000 and turned it down.

I don't think he truly expects to get the $150,000 he has on there. Only things that are worth that much is all four NES/SNES competition carts (NWC 1990, NCC 1991, NCC 1992 and Powerfest 1994) but even then three of them you can get in reproduction form

You are correct had this been different from the released version and dumped the value plummets.

that very comment has been debated among the prototype community for 20+ years. we have seen carts with dumps sell for just as much as carts without dumps. its all in the eye of the beholder. for some the dump of the rom is more valuable than the cart, for collectors the physical cart is more valuable than the media. there is also a set of collectors that want only un-dumped carts, raising their value, so that they can be the one to dump the rom. sometimes those protytype roms sell for more than the physical carts.

that is simply untrue. bio force ape, lethal weapon, action 52, earthbound, flinstones, a boy and his blob, sunman, adventures in the magic kingdom, TMNT II, and others. i do believe that hoppin mad was found to be a legit proto as well. there are many others, mostly PAL for some odd reason, which have surfaced over the years. not to mention a few FDS protos, on the disk.

There's an Action 52 Proto? Does it have less generic space shooters?

Plus, there was a Zelda no Densetsu prototype dumped. There's an article on it on TCRF.

i do believe that there were more than one and found to be "test copy" prototype builds.

Are you speaking about Zelda? If so, no that is not true, there is a test cart with the yellow casing which uses the typical Zelda NES label. That however is not a Proto PCB, it is a retail PCB. Several posts ago I admitted I misstyped and mistakenly wrote this was "the only NES proto" when it should have read it is "the only NES Zelda Proto."

There are hundreds of NES protos, I've owned many of them...

Reminds me of storage wars and the things they find inside to sell to collectors. Its amazing the kinds of things people are willing to spend money on just to own somthing that has history. Look at old marvel and dc comics. Some spiderman comics sell for more then this cartridge is trying to sell for. In fact, look at pokemon card collectors. I dare you to search for a charizard card on ebay and see how much it is.

omg, a charizard cost so much

He meant an original charizard. That's not even the original pokemon card style, they've changed it a few times since the original.

chavosaur · Jul 30, 2012

Yup, I meant this charizard

If it doesnt have a pokeball with a 2 below the picture of charizard, and it has no shadow, its worth $$$
