Xacrow has apparently obtained 6 ultra rare NeoGeo prototypes, and dumped them. I have no idea if they will ever be released to the public. Razoola has said he will try to convince him to release in-game shots though. *sigh*

Here are mirrors of the screenshots for the 6 protos.

Bang Bang Busters

Tenrin No Syo Chicago

Pinball Fantasia - Last Odyssey

Mahou Juku - Magic Master

Super Volleyball 94

Shinryu Senki - Warlock of the Fates

That's just what the world needs - more extremely rare romsets hoarded by some asshole who thinks that having "ubar l33t" roms makes his tiny dick just slightly bigger!

Bang Bang Busters and Pinball Fantasia - Last Odyssey interest me, but that's about it...
I'm not going to lose sleep waiting for 'em, but it'll be interesting if they are ever released...

Same for me. Altho I have always been curious about these protos. Warlocks of the Fates and Magic Master also sound interesting to me. I have to wonder if Magic Master is at all related to the fabled Magician Lord 2.

Razoola recently posted the following:

"I have got a message back from Xacrow. He tells me he will do some ingame shots to these games so this will make some of you very happy. He also confirms that 'CHICAGO is the development name of Breakers' and 'Super Volleyball '94 is Power Spike II'. Going from this we can say 2 of the games were released under different names, that leaves 4.

Finally Xacrow has asked me not to ask him any more about these games so I will respect that. I know him and hes a man of his word so to start flooding him with questions on these games is probably not a good thing, espicially if you start asking him to release them."

Some screenshots would be nice... Better than nothing.

Anyone else under the impression that Xacrow is the single biggest tool to ever breath oxygen?

"Don't ask me too much information about the games, even if I advertise them for everyone to see on my geocities site."

Another reason to get your protos dumped.

I might be tempted to wh0rd them, just to know what it feels like to be l337.

I understand, feeling l337 is what the sk3n3 is all about.

Cool.

Last Odyssey and Shinryu Senki look really good. The others look bland/average. And of course Chicago is just an early rev of what became Breakers.

I guess Xacrow will never release the roms. Maybe someday, who knows...

Blah.

That's up to Xacrow, or anyone else who may have these protos.

But if talking about them annoys you, then you can simply not read about or discuss it.

It's a bit hard to do that if you've just clicked on Retrogames to see what the news is. By the time you've read a story, it's a bit late to decide whether you wanted to or not...

So why is Retrogames giving him the free publicity he craves then? I mean, he gets more exposure than Paris Hilton and all he does is hoard things.

Maybe because there isn't any nice WIP update over Arbee's WIP Emporium? who knows... ;P.

People will know what he's up to and maybe some kids will piss him off or something.

I'm impressed too, and HIYA mhahnjr! :)

Because I know people, including me, are curious about these prototypes. And any info is better than no info.

I don't care if the hoarder is getting off on it or not. That's his personal issue.

If you be he then hello long lost one! How ya been!
If you not be he then Nice Joke :)
Either way it was fun to see!!

Yep, it's really me Mike... I had to re-reg here though to post. Even though my "ROM Dumping" days are over (nods to JMK aka Apollo69 if you're still out there), I'm still into MAME quite a bit, built my own cabinet about 2 years back now, and still visit Retrogames almost daily for the latest emulation news of course! Hi Atila, Prophet, and Haze (I'm pals with a certain Aussie who's very close to MAMEDEV if you know him Haze HEHE).

Well, once again thanks for donating to help with all the dumps in the past mhahnjr! I know I'm currently in a position to offer $1,000.00 USD myself for the remaining proto dumps, but from the sound of things the guy who has them isn't ready just yet to part with them so we'll all have something left to dream about... I agree with Prophet that we shouldn't pressure him as nobody likes that. Oh, and R.I.P. NeoCharity- the TRUE good 'ol Neo-Geo days! ;)

i would be freakinī nuts about that news... but now i cant care less. Of course i like games (I have paused Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 just to type this words) but please remember that all the good NeoGeo games are already out there in a form or another, i just check this forum for nostalgia. Just my two cents.

Yeah I kinda figured it was really you and as for the donation, money well spent in my opinion. I love MAME and will probably always follow it and I check retrogames regularly. In that vein I would also like to say Hi to Atilla and Prophet. Hello to Haze as well but I think he is just anoyed by me these days. I just harrass and bring up old days. and if these people read this then hello smf, kazuya, org2, and many others from #geoshock back when. Don't ask when what.... :)

Nice to see you still around RS, say hello every once in a while.

Well I prefer just trolling and waiting for the roms.

Nah in reality, I've given up on NeoGeo. Long live hoarding, it's such a waste any more hahah..I've gotten over this stuff. All the good shit is already out. Play it.
