    I dont agree this is a ebay topic seeing as the auctions over and its a talking point for the game. Not a sale topic!

    The ebay thread was made to place all ebay related stuff in (sales,trades,interresting links etc..), otherwise the board would be overrun by topics started by ebay links, i have had to close half a dozen in the last 24 hrs because no-one listens.

    Man, I'd buy a helluva car with that money

    BTW, what's the game about? I suppose it's your regular 2D fighting game, but you never know

    Yceman: It supposedly is a 2D tag-team fighting game.

    I think Assembler did an article about this game. I remember saying that there were like 50 copies made. However, there are a whole bunch of bootlegs that really look like the real thing, they're even made with the same PCB board layout and chemicals to make the plastic look the original. They even do a good job with the manual, case and paper. I guess it's just one of those games that it really isn't worth it. Even if you had a million dollars because the chances of it being a boot leg are really high.
