Community Dump Project #3 - Exerion II - WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL!
This is the official thread for Community Dump Project #3 - Exerion II. 
Payment thread has been started here:
http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=19087
The game was made by Jaleco, but never released in the United States. It's a space shooter that was never released outside of Japan. More info on it can be found here:

And for a video of the gameplay:

The proto to be dumped is again being supplied by DreamTR. The price is $750 for the ROM dump only. Any interest in having this on a cart or in a CIB will be addressed (not by me) once the ROM has been dumped; please save discussion for that after the goal has been met. The ROM will be made available for everyone to download just as for Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch, with the same changes made noting it to be the "NA version".
I do not want this to turn into a debate thread; if that is what you want to discuss, then please start your own thread on it. Moderators and Admins will be closely watching to keep things in line.
Please post donation amounts in this thread. We are asking for a minimum donation of $20.
Goal: $500
Current: $500!

BTW, will we get a cool little rocket-ship icon?
We need a little chest icon that you click on to see all your other icons or something.. I can see the avatar window getting SUPER crowded.
EDIT: I suck at spelling.

I don't know if it's possible, but if the avatar window was rearranged to show all of the icons arranged vertically, to the right, next to everything else it would probably declutter significantly.

I'm in if I get a cool rocket-ship icon
possibly more in the next few days

That is a great idea IMO
It has "improved graphics and sound effects" whatever that means, but the opening title screen, game music, and sounds are all different, but I don't know to what level they changed stuff for a 1989 title screen date
Where does it say that, the label? And you've compared it to the Famicom game yourself and can say for sure that the stuff is different?
TheRedEye: I'm only putting you down for $20. DreamTR has stated on many occasions that he doesn't have the time or inclination to sit down and compare versions, and that's part of the deal here. If you decide to change your donation, I'll be more than happy to update it on the list.
$210 the first day, I'd say we're coming along nicely. Thanks to everyone that has pledged so far!

He's obviously done so already with this game, if what he's saying is accurate. I just wanted to verify his post. I've been dealing with Jason and his prototypes for nearly ten years now, but thank you anyway for the advice.
Just wanted to let everyone know that there's only around 25 donations left to make this ROM dumping project possible. At 2413 registered users, this could be a very small step.
$20 (and a cool icon next to your avatar) isn't a big deal after all. I'm pretty sure that most people in here have saved a lot more than $20 by having recourse to NintendoAge's conveniences.

with all due respect that's a reason to donate to the site, not necessarily the project. I will donate to the site any time its needed but to special projects only when they interest me

And to be totally clear, the money in this case goes to Dream, NOT NintendoAGE.
The donations are covering the legwork he's done in acquiring the games, and need to be thought of as totally separate from supporting NintendoAGE, itself.
