Zelda Ancient Stone Tablets

in The Brewery
Hi, so I purchased a working AST cart from a repro guy and wanted to see if anybody is up for the task of creating the box, manual and map for it.  I seen the PAL format, but haven't found anybody who did the NTSC version.  I'm attaching pictures of the game I bought as well as the PAL bundle I seen...

If you're up for the task, shoot me a PM with your price.  Thanks for the help!

    I'll make you a box tonight, maybe a map too. Don't have time for the manual though.

    Whats with the switches?
  • ThamielThamiel
    Not 100% but the ROM was originally broadcast in weekly episodes over 4 weeks. I'm guessing the switches select between each episode.
  • ProveauxProveaux
    ^Exactly.

    Wow. This is really cool. I didn't know there were different versions of BS Zelda.
  • VergieVergie
    The same guy who made this claims he is making a "Master Quest" version of the same game. Says he is moving some items around, making the boss fights a bit more difficult...gosh it's hard to keep up with all the Zelda hacks these days...
  • LaunchpadLaunchpad
    I'm amazed at how professional some translations and hacks are. This looks great!



    That's cool that he's doing a "Master Quest." I wonder if he's one of the guys from this site. http://bszelda.zeldalegends.net/sekibanfiles.shtml



    It still makes me sad that Nintendo never did any Satellaview stuff over here. I was 17 in 97, so my parents probably would've loved to see me play these online instead of the original Diablo. Haha!

    Where can I purchase either of those?



    edit: particularly, the NTSC copy with the dip switch. I have already worked on a box for this and NEED a copy!

    I would also be interested in a copy

    A user on eBay has been making them and auctioning them off somewhat regularly. I think one is up right now even. Same person who has been doing Star Ocean and who has a killer deal on a $25 Alien Soldier genesis repro right now. I don't remember the username, but should be easy to find by searching for the AST game.

    Here it is:

    You guys might want to try and contact her, if ebay decides to enfore the anti repro rules, they might ban here and you won't be able to order a copy of the game.

    damn:

    I did not know about this Zelda ! Looks cool.
  • Faltain1Faltain1
    Yeah the prices on those Genesis repros are great!



    The dip switches are interesting... I wonder what the inside of the cart looks like? Must be a wire filled mess.
  • Faltain1Faltain1
    As for a custom manual... I'm assuming it should be modeled after the original Legend of Zelda manual, correct?
  • uiengineeruiengineer
    is it the full 4weeks of the game. if so, how much did you get it for. i need one
  • Faltain1Faltain1
    After watching a youtube video, I see that it's a BS remake more or less of Link to the Past... so a custom manual would probably want to follow suit close to that...

    Got my copy!

    I wonder if 4 eproms are used in this.

    I'm not sure about that,but the cart itself is heavier than a standard Snes cart.
  • DavotronDavotron
    8 eproms need to be used to make this. So likely they used 4 adapter mounted flash roms.
  • Faltain1Faltain1
    I would ask you to pop it open so we could see for ourselves what the inside looks like, but I wouldn't begrudge you if you didn't want to for fear of screwing up the switches/wiring on the inside...

    Thanks!I'm stoked about this game!

    $260 for Star Ocean is ridiculous! I occasionally have a couple for sale, and I charge less than half of that price.

    Yep!Thanks to you my friend I got my very beautiful copy for less than half of that!
  • DaveToTheGraveDaveToTheGrave
    How good are these BS zelda games? Like am I missing out on something amazing?
  • raiderblue17raiderblue17
    Does anybody make these games or can point me to the person that does. I really would love to own a copy.

  • Faltain1Faltain1
    If I were to design/commission a manual for this, would there be any interest?



    Just curious.
