Whatever you do, make sure you don't dump the pieces into the garbage, otherwise they'll be worthless.

When I went to bed last nite this thread had 3 pages. Woke up this morning it had 8 lol. And as said, wtf is going on? Someone offered you only $800 for it? Pfff, they know it worth much more. If its really destroyed.. ah well, sux, but we didnt know it excisted a cart anyway. Atleast you only payed $3 for it

Just to get everyone on the same page this whole thing was fake. I set out to see if I could fool people and did so well I had to make a concerted effort to drag people to the light. I thought for sure the fart so powerful it garbled graphics was going to be it but apparently some guys still believe I smashed the potentially last copy of Bio Force Ape in existence.
And this was a week after that Zelda III mess. Hopefully this will be a powerful lesson to all of you not to be so sure of yourselves in the future.
About the comment asking why I didn't scam someone for thousands of dollars, I only use my super powers for good, not evil. Okay, that's subjective. To some third world pot-bellied kid I'm probably the worst villian ever, but I'm okay with that.
Anyway, I've shed about 5 pounds just from laughing this week. Game on!

The fart didn't throw me off because I thought the graphics garbled because the game was still not quite finished. I knew it was fake when the Butter Monster appeared though. At that point it was too obvious, to me at least. It was definitely a fun ride though. _________________ Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, IT'S BACON!!!!

I think you just won the best fake story of 2005 award Not being a NES guy, I believed the pics, up until I saw the "Dur Butter" ones (hahaha). Nice work. Plus you also revealed something else- that a few of us need to play video games more  _________________ >> INSERT COIN FOR SIGNATURE <<

Well, you had me fooled... I thought the text for the butter monster looked off, but couldn't really put my finger on it.
Uh, but I only have one question... Where did the butter monster's original image come from?

If you manage to get the cart cobbled back together using spit, duct tape and butter, be sure to let us know what the end of the game is like.

Yesterday I stumbled upon this thread, and after the first page it was very clear that this is a hoax, and after two pages it was clear that it was a sarcastic parody of offered fake prototypes.
After the Zelda 3 proto scam I just can't believe how easy it is to fool people. It is a mix between being naive and wishful thinking. It is amazing that people believe what they want to believe discarding common sense and life experience.
In the meantime I think if someone goes on ebay and put in bold letters "this is a scam, I want your money and please bid on the item if you like to get scammed," some people would still actually bid on that thing a couple of hundred dollars and convince themselves that maybe this is not a scam after all.
The lies we fell for easily are the ones we tell ourselves. _________________ Game library (all complete, mint):

This is the best Joe-posted thread that Joe has ever posted, thank you Joe. It's so great that Joe took time out of his schedule of building his store and not posting on these forums to create a really elaborate and time-consuming hoax. Thank you Joe.
Why do we think this was Joe again?

Yeah, this guy is in South Carolina. Unless Joe spent time between setting his store up to travel to a computer in South Carolina where he could make these posts, it ain't him.
And yeah, where the HELL did the butter monster images come from? _________________ Wanted: Random carts and Genesis boxes! Needed boxes in my selling thread here!

Haha, I even have the Guiness LE pack with those guys on the cans of stout...couldn't drink the stuff, though, it made me ill.
Very much unlike this thread! ROffelZ S++ RANK would read again.
Also, @ the guys saying "oh we knew this was a hoax since..." Sure ya did. Well, maybe that's a sign that DPers are getting more socially aware..?

Hi,
I found this at a yardsale while visiting relatives in Carson, California. The plain label caught my eye in a pile of Nintendo cartridges, for 3 dollars I thought why not. After doing some searching online am I right to assume this game has not been released?
Here are pictures:

I'm guessing it's fake. _________________
