Topic: Castlevania Bloodlines beta / prototype

[Jayfenwick]

Hi guys !

Well, I'm crazy of Castlevania Bloodlines for Genesis and I dream of playing the beta version (this one : http://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/2/bl-beta.htm). In reality, I know the person who owns the cartridge sold by TARA200 in 2002... I contacted him (yes, he's a man) and he said me that the minimum offer he would accept (only) for the ROM is... 2500$ !!! It's a very high price, don't you think? Personally, I don't have so much money !!!

Despite everything, maybe I have a solution for all us...

2500! That's a damn high price for a cartridge...that said, what's this 'solution' you're thinking of? ^^;

You don't want to start a fundraiser, do you?       

[Jayfenwick]

Yeah, that's the idea ! Un fundraiser !  But be careful : only for the rom, not for the cartridge !

We need someone who speaks english very well, a trustworthy person, to contact him and make an offer. I can't do it 'cause I sent him a lot of mails and I think he's fed up with me !

Just a heads up, there are some skeptics around here, and they may express their doubts rather harshly, especially with 2500$ on the line.

I thought you were going to suggest we break into his house and steal the prototype, Ocean's 11-style

[Jayfenwick]

LOL, it's a great idea too !!! 

Of course, the owner of the beta cartridge should show pics to our trustworthy person and prove that he's serious ! I don't want to loose my money !

[Nagumo]

I don't think it would be worth it. I mean, if it was a beta of Resurrection or the early build of CV64, then maybe you would have a chance. I also think the only thing unique thing about the beta is the blimp part, which supposedly is a section that they cut from the German factory stage. You're being ripped of if you would pay 2500$ for that.

If you make such a plan, I will dress myself in a black catgirl bodysuit and enter the house and steal it for you all.

Nya!

[Jayfenwick]

I disagree... I find this proto very interesting ! It has a lot differences with the final version !

[Jayfenwick]

*a lot of, sorry !

[KaZudra]

Rip a rom for all its beta goodies, The cart still has price and we for-fill curiousity

[Lelygax]

Okay, since its a ROM it would be easy to record a video, I want him to record a video of a exclusive area or enemy, then I can try to trust him.

Do you want to try to contact him by mail?

[Lelygax]

I dislike using emails, so its better if another person do it, I can do it as a last resort though.
