Just wanted to let you guys know if you don't know already there is a guy selling phillips CDI Zelda's Adventure Not For Resale Demo disks on ebay for $50 each and so far he has been re-listing every time one is sold which means he has several. Six have sold so far and it is the full version of the game and also the most difficult one to obtain out of the three terrible games in the series. Just thought I would throw this out there for all those die hard Zelda fans out there. Here is the Link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zeldas-Adventure-CD-i-1994-Demonstra...

I kind of think these are fakes, if you look close at the inner ring, its a lot thicker than the other NFR discs ive seen, plus it's clear where normally it should be silver. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm by no means an expert on CDI Games.

Looking for Black cartridge Color Dreams games, last 3 I need:  Metal Fighter, Moon Ranger, Baby Boomer.  Please contact me if you have any of these!

I saw the same thing and was debating if they were real or not. I went looking for CDi demo discs online and all the Zelda's Adventure ones I found were orange-colored.

They look like all of the other CDI demos I have seen, but it is possible I guess. It would be a rather strange item to fake though. If they are fake he's gonna have some troubles on his hands with the amount of these that he is selling to collectors. I for one will throw the book at him since I bought one and have other CDI demos to compare it with to verify authenticity.

I'm tempted to get one, but I'll wait and see untill you compare it, but by then whey will most likely all be gone anyways.

Well I just did A comparison with the Link Faces Of Evil Demo pictures and they are identical to the Zelda Adventure Demo that is currently being sold as far as I can tell so I am fairly certain it is the real deal. But the auction pic is at a bit of a bad angle so it's hard to make out the numbers and lettering at the very bottom of the disc. With that being said buy one at your own risk if you choos to get one cause we all know Penguin has A good eye when it comes to spotting things in pictures that don't seem right.

Though CD-i demos of the same game often appear in multiple colors, I've yet to see anything other than Red for the Zelda's Adventure. That, and the quantity he has for sale, makes me wonder. Take some good pics when it arrives, and good luck!

What's most curious is that the Seller hasn't upped the price after the first few sold...

What he did do was reject any offer below the $50 even though its an option to make an offer. He said he would rather for someone to pay the full $50.

Has anyone's shipped yet?
Or shown that they've purchased postage?

I think they started selling Friday morning. I'm sure, if this is all legit, that he'll wait until they're all sold so he only has to make one trip to the post office.

I do know one thing, he's selling them super fast. They don't even really have a chance for a best offer at the rate they're selling.

He'll either get mass boost in positive all of a sudden, or mass negative and getting booted off Ebay/Paypal

Me: Hi, I noticed you sold quite a few of these now. I was just wondering how many of these you have. Did you find a bunch in a lot somewhere or were these part of your collection? Thanks, just curious to find out.

Seller: collection.

One word? Maybe he's been getting questions all day, but I would've taken a bit more time answering someone's question. Was it wrong of me to ask how many he had?

I asked how many they had at 10am this morning...no response.

I think it's foul for the sole reason that they didn't raise the price after a few sold.
