The story behind the ROM's release began three weeks ago when Jason "DreamTR" Wilson -- known by many in video game collecting circles for his stockpile of rarities and prototypes -- notified the NintendoAge community that he would be willing to dump the data from his prototype cart of Mike Tyson’s Intergalactic Power Punch for $2000.
Before you castigate Wilson for holding the ROM hostage, one should note three things:
He has dumped and released many rare ROMs for others in the past
Releasing the ROM to the public devalues his actual cart
He eventually lowered the asking price to $1500
Over 50 of NintendoAge.com's forum members raised that $1500, with a couple donating $100 or more, and others even selling games from their own collections to scrounge up contribution money.
i said fucking wow
the guy selling it is smart
the people paying $100+ are distinguished mentally-challenged

WTF I can't believe this is actually real
-
Still have my original cart for Power Punch II. The game's not that good though.
-
Amazing.

damn, i thought this was some crappy-looking fan-made game when i was watching the video. sucks that the asshole collector would charge so much instead of sharing with the community, especially for a game that looks pretty shitty.
-
Eh, they knew what they getting, it not like he was scamming people into thinking it was some awesome game.

Scroll down halfway for the story about this game's development.
So here you are, as Mark Tyler, the Greatest Boxer Ever. So great that humans can't even touch you. Mark Tyler is so cocky, he says he'll except any challenge any where, from any one. Some aliens catch word of this and challenge him to an intergalactic boxing championship of epic proportions. Mark Tyler accepts this out of this world challenge and prepares to do battle.
:rofl

During my collector/packrat days I used to go to ASSEMblergames and Digitpress a lot. Two grand is like chump change for some of these guys apparently.
