Should I buy it? - Cheetah Men 2 NES

[Tails]

Should I buy it? I like the game and would love to have the real cartridge as a collectors thing.

Cheetahmen II - $281.31 : Game Citadel : Buy Sell & Trade Games (http://www.gamecitadel.com/Nintendo_NES/All_Games/Cheetahmen_II)

On amazon it's about 1000 bucks, e-bay 1.9 thousand bucks.

EDIT: Damn it's sold out. :(

[CatalystiCam]

NT says it sucks...

[Tails]

NT can say what he wants I actually really like the game.

[ZedIsDead]

It actually falls into the category of "so bad, it's good." Is it fun? Not really. It's just hilarious to see all of the failure.

[Tails]

It's fun for me though, NT. You can't deny the Ape man.

[Kugyince]

But it glitches to where you can't finish the game.

[Tails]

Would be cool if someone worked on a hack of a new Cheetah Men 2..

[Kugyince]

There is a hacked version that lets you get to the last level.

[Tails]

Think RU can house it? Or does ours already do that?

[Kugyince]

Not sure if we have it. Sure we could though.

The patched ROM starts you at level 5 though.

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

[Tails]

Yeah we do not.

If only there was a patch that could play all the levels and had an actual ending though.

[Kong]

I think it would be really cool to own but only for a couple bucks. I can think of much better ways to spend a couple hundred dollars.

If you find a copy of the hack I will upload it.

[Tails]

Like my new computer, and finally donating to RU, right? I think my friend in RL who owns just about all the NES games may have it, if he does I will be jealous.. he does pirate NES games into GBA cartradges too.. could have Cheetah Men on GBA xD

I'll look for the hack unless Tenser beats me to it.

[Demon-Mask]

Maybe you should buy it.

[RU Joe]

Hey Tails, that is a lot of money for a retro game, but we only live once and if you love it so much then maybe you should buy it.
There's a specialty video game store here in Vancouver you could probably get it for 45 or 50...

And they [I]might be making a new game, you never know:

The game may be broken but it had awesome music:

[Tails]

Thanks for the link Joe, sadly they did not have it. :(

The image you posted is just the original box art with the wii symbol on it also. :(

The reason I want it is, because I like the game a lot, and it became one of those "obsessive" games. The difficulty is so brutal that it makes me come back for more. Plus hearing about how rare it is (1.5k made) makes me wanna own it.

I know.
I made that picture as a kind of a joke, and you can see how I screwed up on the 'Bigger and better'.
Also I couldn't get rid of the 'II' in the background.

[Tails]

Not to mention the copy right 1992. :P

[Dudebro]

I can't believe you even considered blowing that kind of money on a defective game. If you wanna waste your money that badly just send it to me.

[Tails]

Where to?

[Dudebro]

If you really want to send me money I'll PM my PO Box to you. I was joking before but I've learned not to turn down free money.

[Tails]

lmao, send you lots of spam mail~

[Dudebro]

It's a PO Box. I would just leave that stuff at the post office.

[Kugyince]

I can't believe you even considered blowing that kind of money on a defective game. If you wanna waste your money that badly just send it to me.
Pfft...
$281 is dirt cheap. I would have grabbed it in a second. Even if you changed your mind you could easily resell it for twice that.

[Dudebro]

You sure they're actually selling for those high prices? I bet some of those are just people hoping some idiot will come along with tons of money to burn. Either way $281 is a lot to waste on a crappy game that only die hard retro gamers have even heard about.

[Tails]

E-bay/Amazon has em for 1000+

[Dudebro]

I have no problem admitting that I just don't get it. If any of you wasted your money like that I'd call you a fool. There are so many better ways to spend 1k or even 200$.

[Kugyince]

And I'd call you a fool for not grabbing it for $200. Remember, someone just bought a NES game off of ebay for $13,000 and it wasn't even the rarest (about 200 exist).

No offense Tails, I know you tried but you were a bit too late.

[Tails]

Which game? Blockbuster promo? I seriously need to go see my friend who owns the only arcade in town just to see what NES games he has, last I talked to him he had like 50-100 left to get.

[Kugyince]

Family Fun Fitness Stadium Events went for $13,000 on ebay.

The "holy grail" of NES games, Nintendo World Championship Gold Cartridge (1990) sold for $21,000 a while back.

[Tails]

^how many made of the holy grail one? From the sound of it, 1?

[Kugyince]

26 if I remember correctly. They were given out as prizes.

I'm friends with a person who owns one. He didn't buy his copy though, he actually won it in the championships.

[Tails]

Oh SWEET. Does it still work? Lame game?

[Kugyince]

It still works.

Contestants played a specialized game cartridge designed specifically for the contest. Officially, a player has 6 minutes and 21 seconds to play, which is divided up into three minigames. The first minigame of the competition is to collect 50 coins in Super Mario Brothers (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Super_Mario_Brothers). The next minigame is a version of Rad Racer (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Rad_Racer) where players must complete a specialized Nintendo World Championship course. The final minigame is Tetris (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Tetris) and this lasts until time expires. Once time does expire, a player's score is totaled using the following formula:[1] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-MGspecs-0)

Super Mario Bros. score
+ Rad Racer score times 10
+ Tetris score times 25
Some players focused their tactic on getting a high score in Tetris while others tried to exploit a trick in Super Mario Brothers where a part of the game may be played repeatedly using warp pipes.
There were two methods to obtaining fifty coins in Super Mario Bros (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros). The first method involve running the first pipe collecting 20 coins and finishing the board and getting the remainder of the coins in World 1-2. The second method had the player dying twice on World 1-1.
Strangely, the second method proved much faster and Thor Aackerlund (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Thor_Aackerlund) used it during the tour to get the World Record score of over 4,000,000 points.
The highest score with the first method during the city tour was 2,800,000 by Jeff Falco.
The first two games were modified so that a player could not get a "game over." In Super Mario Bros., the player was given 99 lives, and in Rad Racer, the in-game timer was permanently fixed at 99 seconds.[1] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-MGspecs-0) In Tetris, however, stacking a line of blocks over the top of the playing field would effectively end the game prematurely, as the player could not start again—the game would freeze at the "game over" screen until the 6:21 competition time ran out.

For the competition, 116 special game cartridges were manufactured. 90 of these copies exist as the official gray cartridge and were given out to City Finalists after the 1990 NWC concluded. Each gray cartridge has a unique number making the cartridge easier to track and extremely difficult to counterfeit. The other 26 are gold—like the The Legend of Zelda (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_(video_game)) cartridge—and were given out as prizes in a separate contest held by Nintendo Power (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/Nintendo_Power) magazine.[2] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-1)
Both versions of the cartridge feature DIP switches (http://retrouprising.com/wiki/DIP_switch) on the front, which may be used to alter the time limit. To play the cartridge, one must have a controller connected to both controller ports and press start on the second player's controller. For the competition, there was a special switch that would start all cartridges simultaneously. [3] (http://retrouprising.com/#cite_note-2)

[Kong]

It isn't on the site because it doesn't work in Java. Probably will work in AOX. I should add it sometime.

Did the contestants know the rules beforehand? The games, timelimit, score formula? Having time to come up with a strategy and having to do it on the spot are totally different.

[Tails]

That would be sweet if we could ever do something like that here.

@Kong: I guess the next game batch is going to have some NES goodness, huh?

Who wants to bet there's nothing in the box?

[Demon-Mask]

I don't know, who, other than you, would actually keep the game for themselves?

[Tails]

Someone fascinated with the music for one imo. Just to own something that rare, and awesome is why I want it. I can't explain why I like it so much.

[Demon-Mask]

Had it been finished, it might have been fun.
You're right about the rarity thing.

[Tails]

Like I said though, it IS fun for me. Granted if I ever got it, I'd play it once and then put it on display with my manga and DVD's.

[Slime Slayer]

Any game i owned that had a value of $1000 or more i would sell in a heart beat, mind you I dont collect video games.

[Kugyince]

If I had cash to burn I'd love to collect every SNES game.

[Winnebagel]

I'm going to have to check all my NES cartridges. I had no idea that some were worth that much.

[Slime Slayer]

I had always dreamed of owning the entire nes library, just never got the ball rolling, I've got about 20 or so cartridges kickin around, and probably had 50-60 coming and going.

[Kugyince]

Unless you only shoot for the ~750 official NTSC NES games it's cost way too much to ever complete.

[DrunkN]

I've read that using a certain cheat code causes the game to be unbeatable. Is it beatable without said cheat code?

[Tails]

Cheetahmen? Nope as Tenser said level 5/6 are unplayable.

[fenrir1887]

Yeah I agree.

[samejamesbond]

The game is far too broken to call a game.

[fenrir1887]

I know there are those out there.

[yiyoner]
