Quick piggyback on this thread to let everyone know that have sold off a good portion of my collection and am offering $101,000 USD for the original art to Contra. And my money will be real dollars not that Canadian crap.
SONUVABITCH!!! lol!! How's it going Deniz?
It's going great now that I know I have the highest offer on a video game item ever.
I posted in the Contra cover thread that I'd pay $45,000 for the original art to the Contra/Gryzor cover.
I've been thinking more about that and really I'd pay as much as I could come up with. To that end I am offering the first (?) $100,000 bounty: for the original art to the Contra cover.
Details including payment timing would have to be mutually agreed and the condition of the art would have to be acceptable, etc. Some element of time payment would be needed, but I'd love to make it happen if anyone can supply the art.

Are you sure this thing even exists to begin with? People are different, as a collector/fan you think this is awesome and a grail but for a creator a draft can mean nothing more than scribbled writings on their way to the finished product. Maybe the dude himself threw it in the trashcan when he was done thinking nothing of it?

It's going great now that I know I have the highest offer on a video game item ever. Whew, was worried someone would beat me to it but glad I am taking the gamble.
I hope to see some game art auctions in the near future on any random ol auction websites that may exist...

Reminds me when I put a bounty up for some game assets that just doesn't exist anywhere online, and nobody could find it (It's from an obscure Japanese arcade game). Granted, I only had $200... lol
My mind's probably playing tricks on me, but I swear I thought I've seen the pencil art of the Contra art (in this forum no less), but I might be thinking of a different artist/piece.

I posted some contra 3 pencils which I own. The bounty is for the contra (1) cover. Different items.
I put up a bounty for SimCity on the NES once, and now it's chilling in my gameroom. Or there was the time I kept searching for Road Kill, the lost NES homebrew, and that's also in the gameroom. I got my fingers crossed for ya, Bronty! I believe!

It does exist in all likelihood.
Okay, so I wasn't too crazy, but again it's not what you're looking for. lol
Well, seeing that you have stuff like that to begin with erases all doubts that it exists, but the trouble is finding who has it.
The person who says the internet has ALL the knowledge and information in the world doesn't know the struggle in finding these things. However, I think you have a much better chance then I would ever have since again I've only had $200 to find my stuff. lol
So good luck, and to anyone who has any info for Bronty: Let this man furnish your new house or put your kids in college. This man needs that Contra cover ASAP.
Believe it or not, the latter. 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake
So Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest was lost too in that Earthquake?
What a horrible night to have an earthquake
Everything konami japanese piece prior to that date, basically. Castle, Castle 2, stinger, rush n attack, Drac X, jackal, anything konami famicom or super famicom to 95, etc etc
Ugh. Is there anything worse than the old "I think this was for a game" pitch. Its nice enough but without anything to attach it to, its hard for me to get excited. Still, it proves what we were talking about earlier. There's something for every budget. 300 isn't much for a one of a kind.

Plus Life Force, Gradius, etc
( I can hear you screaming 'noooooooooooooooooooooooo' from here!)

It really is depressing, but my bank account isn't as upset as I am.
(Boss avatar bro.. I'd be paying $$$$$ for that one too )
You know, I never put two and two together about that one before, but the reason the lowest ball is blue is because of the yellow backlight from the flames (blue and yellow making green). Deep Thoughts. By Jack Handey.
Its tremendously sad and disappointing that so few exist, but it does make the ones that do exist more special I suppose. That's kind of reaching for a positive spin, but it is what it is.
