Cool ;)

So whoever made the bootleg cart....how would they have even got the rom in their hands? Or would they have put like a shared working version on it that was not final? Or you mean the final version was shared pre release?

Most authors post binaries of their games during development to solicit feedback, or to enlist the help of other programmers. I'm sure whoever made the cart simply grabbed the latest binary from the Ninja Wall Jump thread. Which may be the final version of the game in this case--I haven't checked.

Now I know what tweakers do when they aren't cooking meth. Apparently they sell video games on eBay.

Back in the late 80's and early 1990's I was a very active collector of Atari 2600 stuff. I managed to amass a collection of over 350 unique cartridges. I was very active on the rec.games.video.classic newsgroup and participated in developing a few collector guides. After I discovered arcade and pinball collecting, I lost interest in my 2600 collection and packed it away in storage. That was in 1998.

 

After a couple of moves, getting married and having a kid, I've decided it's time to sell off my collection. I have a large number of fairly rare games and a fair number of boxed cartridges. I've just put up the cream of my collection on ebay.

Some of the rarer stuff includes a few Best Electronics prototypes and a mint, boxed copy of Espial. All have a starting bid of $1 and no reserve. I'm not a dealer, I'm just a former collector finally liquidating my collection after 20 years.

 

After these auctions finish I'll continue putting batches of games up until they're all gone.
