Fundraiser Could Get Resident Evil GBC A ROM Release

Most people are probably aware of this title but for those that aren't – This was canned around 90% into development (so so close to release; what a shame). It was designed by HotGen to be a direct conversion of the Playstation original. Capcom refused the final build in 2000 saying that they 'were not confident that the product would have made both consumers and Capcom happy'.


I am running this fundraiser for a third party who does not wish to be identified. I do not personally own this cart so please do not contact me with regards to a private sale. The ONLY way this will ever see sunlight again is via the fundraiser.


The build that is to be released is very nearly complete in gameplay terms but when you get to the door at the Guardhouse Underground Watertank you cannot open it (even though you have found and have the correct key in your inventory). You can bypass this point by changing some memory values and 'jumping through' some of the rooms but I think we will leave that for you to figure out; keep some excitement in it.
You have unlimited ammo and the Zombies are very slow so the game itself is quite easy. The Beretta and Shotgun work fine, you can find the Bazooka but can't get it to fire!
The only enemies which work are the Zombies; Jawn is in the attic as usual but he just stands there and does nothing.
Plant 42 is present but again, it doesn't work.
Most of/ all of the cut scenes are present and work but I am not 100% if any of the endings work.

Could be interesting, of course I have my "scam suspicions" but that's me. I can see why Capcom didn't want to release it. I can't understand why they then spent MORE on restarting an all new game which ended up to be the very poor Resident Evil Gaiden game that DID get released rather than just release this...but that's Capcom, they make some of the most stupid decisions.

See 2:11, the fuck they did to the zombie?

There was a Alone in the Dark that did get a release too!

I played that on a Bung cart on a GBC, looked so much worse and you could hardly ever find anything you needed 'cos the backgrounds were blurred to fuck.

remember reading about this 10 or so years ago and thinking how it looked amazing for a gbc. Not that i imagine it will be amazing but i think it would be interesting to see a de-volved version of resident evil

...that is actually quite awesome conscidering the hardware it was programmed for.

wha--... where's all this hate for pixel art comes from? lol, but then again, if it was Rare who did this, things would have been so much better (what with their tendency to animate using pre-rendered sprites).

EDIT: oh my god, that "g"!!! the font... IT'S HORRIBLE.
