I'm looking to buy prototypes of any Contra and Probotector games. Can be pre-release versions, betas, samples, previews, review copies, etc. Here are some of the ones I've heard about on Nintendo systems:
-Contra for NES. Apparently one went on eBay for 5 figures a few years ago. Not necessarily looking to fork over that much, especially not since that item, if it truly existed, most definitely did not sell for that (either a best offer, was taken down or was just up for bragging). But I am 100% serious on this item if the owner decides to turn up.
-Probotector for NES, any of these. There might be an NTSC version proto, like its sequel, so that's one I'd definitely be interested in.
-Probotector II NTSC version for NES; looks like this

-Super C proto. Last owned by JD/Elijah. If it's still among his possessions, I guess there's nothing to be done. However, if it's in new owner's hands, I'd really like to buy that proto as it would undoubtedly go to very good hands, so please consider my request to purchase (or at least to discuss options). Let's work something out!
-Any Contra proto for Game Boy.
-Probotector and Probotector 2 for Game Boy. Any kind of protos of these games; including their overseas counterparts.
-Contra III prototype, sold on the French website leboncoin

-Contra III beta for SNES. Has "Not For Resale" on it, but it's NOT the same as the "Not For resale" carts usually seen. This one is like a lab loaner; plain white label with black print; back has "Return" instructions, with address and comment.
-Contra III review cart for SNES, sold by retrogamesuk
But other than Nintendo, could be for other systems, too. Here are others I've heard of:
-Probotector beta for Genesis (used in magazines/review)
-Contra: Legacy of War sample. It's on an official Sega Saturn CD-R. Was sold in Japan a few years ago.
$200 BOUNTY MINIMUM FOR THIS SAMPLE DISC
-Contra: Shattered Soldier possible review disc. Apparently has the final version's artwork, almost the same in fact, EXCEPT that the rating is RP instead of T. It was seen at a flea market named 192 Flea Market in Kissimmee, Florida.
WILL PAY FINDER'S FEE TO WHOEVER FINDS OUT MORE ABOUT THIS DISC. +$200 BOUNTY IF IT'S A PRE-RELEASE.
-Neo Contra review copy for PS2. One sold by The_Brown_Eye/The_Dreaming_Eye on Assembler/Digitpress. Another was sold by Buyatari.
-Contra 4 DS proto, traded by retrogamesuk
-The following beta discs sold by DreamTR around 2008:
Contra: Legacy of War Pre-Final Preserved!
C: The Contra Adventure V0.8
C: The Contra Adventure (nothing else written on disc? maybe review or beta?)
Contra: Shattered Soldier E3 Preview
Contra: Shattered Soldier (nothing else written on disc? maybe review or beta?)
Neo Contra Review Preserved!
$200 EACH!!!!!!
Or any other ones, I may be interested in. I can pay $50+ for review copies and $100+ for disc betas; even more for cart betas. WILLING TO ACCEPT AND PAY REQUIRED SHIPPING FROM MOST AREAS AROUND THE WORLD.
