How do you convert American dollars to Australian dollers? Will this
game work on an American Sega Genesis? What is the current highest
bid?

Except that Sonic 2 beta has (probably) more level then the released Sonic 2. And
that's what a lot of people want.

LOL! I'm not a man, I'm a woman. And yes, I consider your posts spam. BTW,
don't send me stuff though e-mail either, because I delete spam. Don't expect
me to respond to you anymore either, because I find you, from what you've
posted to be a sad boy.

So the cartridge uses extra resources, just because its made in Singapore?
You are a very weird man.
Usually they make those extras to allow more resources to be used of the
cartridge at the same time..

It seems like everyone here has been real nasty lately. Also, Andre's
post wasn't spam, he was trying to sell a rare Sonic game on a Sonic
newsgroup. I don't see how that is spam.

Wee somebody's obviously never played an asian MegaDrive title ^_- Japanese
games at least have a different cartridge design, they have cool ridge
structures (Those are the "bits" he's refering to) along the edges, so
they're wider than US and European carts. This makes it impossible to fit
one into a US Genesis, so you need an adapter, because aside from not fitting
there's probably a country lock-out in place too ^_-

Well well, looks like we have a retard.
Did you know, dirkdes, that a BETA is free?
a Beta is a test version, and is not meant for profit, but only a easrly
version of a game to find bugs.. Since your aiming to make a profit of of
one, you are doing it all wrong, and illegally.

preview the game, but someone took it and put it up in a

Jonathan wanted to sell it and make a nice profit (1998).

Go to a second-hand games shop.
I saw a second hand convertor for $10 Australian (approx. 5
pounds UK.)
I also know these people who bought a convertor called a
"Mega Key" in Hong Kong.

Nope, he's right. A beta version
is a test version, sent out by a company
to a select group of individuals who
are called "testers". They test the program
or whatnot for bugs, etc. So, I'm sorry,
but Eric's right, you CAN'T sell a beta
version.

Well, it was illegal for it to be sold in the first place. Hong Kong and
Singapore are notorious for selling stuff like that anyway. Sure, wrong is
wrong, even if everyone is doing it, but if I can buy a Sonic 2 beta, you can
bet I'd do it. ^_-

1) It's not mine.
2) There is only *so much* you can do with the extra zones.
3) It's not mine.
4) I'm getting 1/3 of the money.
5) It's not mine
6) It's rare, though not as cool as one would have liked.
7) It's not exactly mine.
Now, I hoped I've solved your dilemma.

I'm with you on that one, but someone else brought up the fact that it's
illegal to sell a beta game. (I think it was Sonikku. I'm not sure.)

True. Sure, he did flood the newsgroup with annoying spam, then did a little
flaming when people flamed him... I suppose most of the members of this
newsgroup prefer to not forgive the little guy. He simply thought that people
would be so interested on the site that everyone would thank him, not to say
that it's not interesting or anything... oh heck, just ignore me.

Not the rom, the actual cartridge.
Though, it's legal to distribute the beta.
DarkeSword

Because you're trying to make money off of it. That's why. You're making
money off of the work that those Japanese programmers put into making the game,
without giving them any. Do you know how much work is put into making a beta?
A lot.
If it was bought in Singapore, it was most likely sold illegally (countries
like Singapore and Hong Kong are notorious for things like that).
So what you really are doing is ripping off Sega, the people who put out great
games, such as the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Ok..i'm done now...
