Hmm, the thought of Splinter Cell on the Atari 2600 has a strange appeal to me...

well all i can remember was the cover of the first issue, which looked like sorta the cover for mario 64, in whihc mario is flying with his flying cap. However the first issue baisicly detailed the 64 itself, had a page that had what the 64 board looked like and lableing it various pages. But shockingly that might be the name, cause it was pretty simple name. Though i do remember that here in the us they would sell two import uk 64 magazines. But i never purchased the other one, just the one im taklinb about, is it possible you could do a scan of one of hte first issues?

well the funny guy found a buyer ... for 3000$

and a rip should be done ...

my guess: that we 'll never hear of this cart again after beeing paid ...

usual end of a fake ...

**sayin999** · 10-26-2005

ah well, if it does surface, we can question it forever, then if nintnedo takes legal action on whoever owns it, then we no it wasnt a fake.

I would, but can't anymore. Sadly my scanner broke months ago. :(

But google did reveal this scan from their first issue:

someone tell this guy what a prick he is.

So the auction got pulled, by eBay from the looks of it. Did someone report him or something, because if a seller ends an auction early, the page will still show up on eBay with "Bidding Has Ended for the Item" or something like that near the top (been awhile since I've had to end one early so I don't remember exactly what it says). Did anyone catch what the auction was up to before it got pulled?

Sorry to be jumping on the bandwagon late here. I read this thread a couple days ago and got swamped with tech papers and tests and didn't get a chance to keep up with it.

the story stinks, but i'm still intrigued by all this ''i played it, but the cart isn't working anymore...and then, someone says he owns another copy'' thing.

So have there been any updates on this? Even though its in all likelihood just a hk bootleg game, I was still kind of intrigued by it, who wouldn't be though? The prospect of a new classic Zelda game is enough to get anyone excited, even if its not real. Anyone hear anything new or has this vanished into the deep dark recesses of the internet?

Yep, he updated his site yesterday.

Just loaded the image into a hex editor

Image was created on the 13th of december I believe, and it was used in XIF Software version 0.06a. Anyone know what that is? heh

PhotoStamper is a visual tool to add a reversible datestamp to digital pictures with no quality degradation. Stamping process is virtually lossless! The application automatically reads the date of the original picture from a JPEG file and places a stamp without modifying pixels outside the stamp area. PhotoStamper can process many images at a time and even remove a stamp later to restore original images! The new version 2.1 features multilanguage date/time format, EXIF date support, fully customizable stamp (position, size, font, color, etc.), instant preview, transparent stamp background, Windows Explorer integration.

So the date information for the image has been messed with then? Interesting?

**Borman** · 01-01-2006

I dont know. I was just checking to see what it said in the hex editor, if it was photoshoped it usually comes up, but it didnt. Its more to prove that the picture hasnt been edited

That guy is the king of excuses.It would be sweet if this was true.

**TheRedEye** · 01-01-2006

Oh for the love of christ, people still believe he has a game?

I would think if there realy was a proto of Zelda III, it would be on a Famicom cart. Then if it ever was planned for release, it would be converted to a NES cart, instead of a Proto in a NES (US/Europe(PAL)) cart. Who knows...
