(N64) GLOVER 2 Prototype on eBay

[Svanis1337]

I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NINTENDO-64-...ht_3803wt_1396

Now it says Glover, but notice the "2" scribbled over. The seller mentioned nothing about it. Obviously it makes one believe it is another Glover 2 proto. Who knows. On the back it says "Early Build".

Time left is five days. I don't collect prototypes but I support their legacy. Hopefully this one will go to someone who is willing to at least show a little footage.

Could be a 2 for storage purposes. A simple 2 can be used for lots of things.
Would be nice to get a Glover 2 proto though

Cart recycling. Hope there is data on it.

I've thrown him an email, we'll see what he says.

[Skaarg]

Considering he says he's tested it I highly doubt it's a Glover 2 prototype. He would probably instantly be able to tell if it was Glover 2 instead of Glover.

Hi qv!#3kvv6;P,


Thanks for your question, this is just a Glover prototype and not a Glover 2 prototype.
To give me a more background on the prototype it was purchased from well known prototype DreamTR, who I also purchased the Super Mario Kart prototype and Day's of Thunder prototype from that I also have on auction at the moment. I would personally think that this 2 on the label was just something used internally for multiple prototypes of the same game or something along those lines.



Thanks again!


Kind Regards
Adam.

oh well

but a Glover 1 prototype isn't bad either! And it's still affordable, if you look at the price of the Super Mario Kart Proto...

[Cyantist]

Is he just flipping things he bought (and potentially dumped?!?) from dreamTR?

[seagull]

Looks like it

[retrogamesuk]

They haven't been dumped, but re-selling, yes, DremTR knows I buy to re-sell.

[Serantes]

Looks like it

this move is really risky, business model makes no sense. It makes more sense that you buy, dump and resell. I did that on the past

I know :) So far I'm losing quite a bit, oh well, what they do they do.

Ebay is good and bad for that kind of rare and specific items. The problem with prototypes is that usually the target is very restricted = collectors / people wanting to dump the rom/ hardcore fans. But ebay comes in handy to give your item more visibility and therefore more potential bidders. The other negative point is that rare items might easily be won by noobs who have no idea about what they just bought...

Was someone here the winner of the Glover proto? got a few questions :-)

If you were buying to dump them, surely it would make more to sense to not release the dump, sell the cart for as much as possible, THEN release the dump and get the praise of the community - without the loss.

Only person getting screwed is the buyer.


Not saying thats whats going on, but its what makes sense.

I was the auction winner. The game plays correctly on an NTSC N64 and it's actually a glover 2 early build. I played the current dump and there are many notable differences. (I'm only assuming it's an early build because it lacks the cutscene at the beginning, but otherwise i think there are many things that are better in the version i own). I'll dump it if the mods allow me to make a community dump thread. ;)
I'll post a video of it working on youtube some other time since I am in Lebanon right now and the internet sucks here. i took the video just before i left because the cartridge arrived in the mail the day i had to go to the airport.

Wow, that's great! I would love to see this dumped.

What are the things that are "better" in your proto? Is there more content?

[nesworld]

Pretty sweet... how much are you looking to get for the rom? I believe I know a few people who would chip in :-)

Feel free to pm me...

[gs37]

I'm interested in the dump...

[nesworld]

I'm interested in the dump...

I hear that a lot :-)
But are you also interested in helping paying for the rom?
