Hey everyone,

I finally got a prototype that I won on ebay in the mail. It took a while... anyway, the game is Cyber Spin by Takara. Enjoy the pics - Cheers! (somehow my son Toshi got in there...) =)

Wow that's awesome finding that. Was it clearly on ebay or did you luck into it? I just looked it up on the wikipedia, seems like it could be a possibly fun futuristic racing title. I've got a couple of GB protos here myself, but that would be a cool one to have you got there.

Talk with a mod, you're do a P(prototype) icon like I have.

Thanks! I actually did an international search on an ebay app on my phone. I found this game from a Portuguese seller - I think it's crazy how these games travel the world from person to person. I think this prototype has seen more places than I have! lol - I'm really stoked to finally earn a "P" award. I've been wanting to get that for some time now.

Which GB protos do you have? I've been looking at picking up one or two - then I'll be going after a NES proto.

I have a couple of them one is a generic thing from Rare, and the other is a preliminary copy of LJN's WWF Wrestlemania.

Nice! that's awesome. I think owning any prototype is great - I'll be on the look out for some more.

@BouncekDeLemos - Thanks! I know prototypes are not cheap and abundant, but I'm sure you'll be able to brush the dirt of one too. =)

He definitely has some other interesting prototypes that are still up for sale. I think it's crazy how huge the N64 prototypes are. lol

Wow - That's so awesome! Thank you for sharing that. So it's confirmed that cart has definitely seen more places than I have... lol. And yes, my cats are "hams" when it comes to taking pictures. haha!

@MinusWorlds - I completely agree! There's something special about them and it's really awesome knowing that you have a one of a kind type of game.
