Here is your Last chance to get a physical copy of One of the greatest JRPG's that ever came out on the famicom- PLAYABLE ON YOUR NES!!!!

"In the 22nd century, mankind has begun to emigrate into outer space. Constructed at a lagrange point were three huge space colonies: the Isis Cluster (two artificial biospheres, named Land-1 and Land-2, and a satellite). In the year Isis 0024 (55 years after the cluster was constructed), however, a biohazard outbreak occurred on Land-2. All attempts at contact were met with nothing but static. Now a research team led by pilot Gene approaches Land-1."


This is the Auction thread for the remainder of the copies available to the public for my limited release (25 copies) of Lagrange Point.

It will be for copies 11-19.

 I had always heard that Lagrange Point was an amazing RPG with outstanding music (thanks to the konami VRC7 chip)- However it was on famicom, and in japanese!  I found out an english translation existed, so I set out to see how I could get this onto an NES cart and still keep the music.  I teamed up with aarone, and we have been working on it since.  We were able to figure out how to stuff a translated copy into an nes cart, and have put together the copies you see before you!

I chose to start this project because I really want people to experience this game.  Not only is it fun, the music is amazing!
- This is the first time (to my knowledge) it has been available for play on the NES, with the full musical score*(aside from the proto).  THIS WILL BE THE ONLY RELEASE OF THIS GAME WE DO.
- This game is not available for emulation on actual hardware
- Works on both Top loaders and front loaders
- There are (5) 3 screw carts sprinkled in (the rest of the donors were 5 screw carts) it is a mystery which ones are which!

Due to the overwhelming amount of interest I got on the first10 of these through a normal sale, I chose to go with a "neo-style" (thanks neodelphino) auction format to make it fair for the rest of the people since not that many copies are available.  I didn't want someone to miss out on a copy due to real life obligations.  Because of this, I am going to donate 10% of the auction winnings to NA- the rest of the money will go to the cost of purchasing all the parts, the people who worked on it and future releases.

Whoa I'm super curious about cart #11

One of the difficult parts of pulling off this reproduction is the fact that the Lagrange Point donor is too large to fit into a NTSC-U cart shell, after adding the pin converter.

That being the case, the boards had to be modified a good bit in order to get them to fit inside the shells, but even then, the shells had to be modified on the back side to allow space for the save battery.

AaronE worked some magic on one of them (#11) and was able to get the entirety of the board into a shell without needing to modify the top of the shell like all the rest needed to be modified. 
 

Bump!

Good question. I'm still in right now if he does not.
 

US and canada only, sorry

You would have been ok, for the time being, either way as dannyplante used his rebid option
I updated my post above with the current standings.

 

damn, was really looking forward to owning one... :/

Haha, yeah I made one myself to see what was what and I think I did his rebid as another bid. Too early, no coffee.
 

Friday afternoon/evening bump
