Apparently it was a not-for-sale promo giveaway.

Saxon Games periodically pulls games to sell out of a hole in the ground
But at least I did what it asked and read the details! It has (had) the same art as other official copies, so it's not a bootleg. Good deal then.

Maybe the Jocker is actually the supervillain who maimed the innocent cartridge, and he's informing Bat-man of his return in his typical irrepressible style?

you're forgetting that anything even remotely close to something AVGN made a video about is now considered to be incredibly rare and valuable

I have a se@led PS1 Klonoa I'm anticipating gaining mad 2000% profit value thanks to that Mike Matei review (see Krazy Klonoa auctions a few pages back)!

Except it's the JP version. >_>

And it's greatest hits. v_v

FML I'm out $10 :[

Including DOOM, the game that rid the world of keyboard overlays, and Trevor McFur, one of the two games that reintroduced Jaguar owners to them!

Oh I get it, 400,000 was the reserve and 2,500,000 was the buy it now price. The bidding only went up to 250,000 so it didn't sell. But yes looks like a cool game, just wasn't aware it was that rare.

Why would you hate throwing out bootleg games?? All it will take is $10 to save them??

So much piracy, so few answers ...

300 Super Nintendo Games (EMU included with disk)
I'm sold, surely you'd spend more than $10 worth of electricity downloading and not playing all those shitty ROMs, never mind burning them to CDR! Take my money motherfucker! :shock: EMUs are notoriously high maintenance pets though, would need to haggle a disc/k only deal.

Lol, these used to be available for purchase from Capcom Japan's site for like 6k JPY. Now some bidders think it's worth 181k JPY:

http://page15.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/a ... t335105529

I like my Rockman, but not that level of insanity. I did however recently score likely the most limited official Rockman release, which is happy. And it didn't cost me 181k JPY :D
