CPUWIZ Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Is it possible that the buyer can finally dump them? I already dumped Power Lords. But PP is kind of a shit on my deal, oh well, maybe I can get it cheaper now and dump it before this one is sold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone on AA will win the auction and do the right thing...either way, i'll still buy your repro cart for the Pink Panther if you make it available and i'm certain others will as well. Your release of Power Lords gets an A+ in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But PP is kind of a shit on my deal, oh well, maybe I can get it cheaper now and dump it before this one is sold. I REALLY want that Pink Panther game! I wish I could justify spending $700 or whatever it will end up at. If I had that kind of money to spend on games, I'd buy PP and send it to you CPUWIZ to work your magic. I'd like to see that in cartridge form (maybe with the carts spray painted pink!), but I guess there would be copyright problems involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Even with more than one version... is any of them more complete or less bug ridden for example? That applies here to both Power Lords and PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest I count at least four... Steve's, the guy CPUWIZ is dealing with, the other one sold on ebay, and this one. Or is the ebay one the same as the one CPUWIZ is working on purchasing? Then there's this one... I think there may be another hint or too of other copies scattered through out the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Or is the ebay one the same as the one CPUWIZ is working on purchasing? Not sure. It's hard to tell because it's not like these things are numbered or anything. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Then there's this one... I can confirm that one. Must be four then. Almost common, eh? Edited March 21, 2011 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Then there's this one... I can confirm that one. Must be four then. Almost common, eh? Anyone still have a picture of that one? It'd be cool to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Then there's this one... I can confirm that one. Must be four then. Almost common, eh? As far as I know there are three Pink Panthers and Two Power Lords. Pink Panthers ------------- 1. Steve's (the original) 2. The Magnavox collectors that was sold on ebay (in the hands of a collector now) 3. The one on Game Gavel Power Lords ----------- 1. The Magnavox collectors that was sold on ebay (in the hands of a collector now) 2. The one on Game Gavel CPUWIZ has access to Power Lords, but I'm not sure if it is the same copy as #1 or an entirely new copy. Not sure if he has access to PP or if it's one of the known copies or yet another copy. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Persuit of the Pink Panther is the official VCS title, btw. No, it isn't. Look at page 3 of the NAP press-kit PDF that bfstats sent you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalVic Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) I suppose I should chime in on this thread now. Thought I'd have a little more time to figure out my plans for this cart, as I've only had it a couple weeks, but the GameGavel auction is forcing my hand. Rom Hunter is correct as far as the title goes; I sent him a pic of the label on my cart. Probe 2000's intent was obviously to have this called Pursuit of the Pink Panther. The cart I have has been tested, and near as I can tell, it's probably the same ROM as the unlabeled ones. No title screen, a little buggy, but completely playable. Four game selections/difficulties, although I'm hard pressed to tell the difference; three game "screens." I haven't played a ROM from any of the other carts, so I can't say for sure. The cartridge and label are in pristine condition. I have video of gameplay uploaded to YouTube, but I'm keeping it private until I can edit together a version that includes some titling, a little historical information, and some shots of the cartridge itself. If anyone here wants to see the raw footage, just shoot me a message with your YouTube username, and I can add you to my list and send you the link. If anyone else has questions (or really enticing offers that keep me from having to go through an auction), feel free to contact me. Assuming I don't get swamped and have an answer to your question, I'll try to reply promptly. I am a collector, but I don't collect protos, per se, so I'd like to see this go to a good home where it can benefit the community. Let the speculations begin.

Dino Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'd say given yours comes with a proper label, it will most certainly be worth more than the one on GG. Also, its more likely to be more complete, which again, if true, will increase its value over the GG one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Pursuit of the Pink Panther it is then. Nice picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
