Video Uploaded of Japanese "Uncut" Prototype Version of Monster Party!

[Parodius Duh]

After many years, the elusive "Uncut" Japanese version of Monster Party showed up on Yahoo Japan Auctions and obviously sold for a hefty sum. Up until this auction a few months ago, only screenshots were known to exist....well, here's a video of the prototype versions title screen in action! Hopefully we will get to see a R0M dump in the near future!

How high are the chances that a ROM dump could be made into a repro cart?

[jpx72]

I don't think the ROM dump has been made out of the prototype yet. The original is MMC1 so fairly easy to reproduce.

[manuel]

Nice to know! 
(I know that there is no ROM dump yet, but I wanted to know if a repro could be made in case someone dumped the ROM.)

Man I'd love a repo of this game. the rom has to be dumped some day. I hope

monster party has a huge cult following cause of it's obscurity and being horror themed. having blood and gore in 8 bit times was almost unheard of the game was never released in japan but a prototype was made and it's said the us version that released was watered down compared to the jp prototype. My personal childhood memory with this was renting it at the video store and trying so hard to get past level 2 but never getting past till I was alot older. When that video store went out of business and they were selling off all there games I bought that copy of monster party along with a few other games. My favorite part of the game is in level 1 is when every thing seems nice and cute till you pass that big tree and the whole level changes to a horror scene.

Everyone already knows that Japanese versions of videogames are always better... Japanese Uninvited is like way cooler, I want a English translation of the Japanese version of Uninvited. So very badly.

What about Final Mission/S.C.A.T./Action in New York? The latter two versions are a lot better in my opinion

And don't forget Maniac Mansion.
The Japanese version is really not that good (or so I heard...).

[UglyJoe]

That's an odd one.  It's pretty much the same game, but with a totally different art style.  The NES version is probably objectively better, but the FC version is far from bad and certainly has a charm of its own.
