A couple of old prototypes I got

[protonic]

I recently got a hold of a couple of two SNES prototypes and one Genesis prototype cart.

Could this be the unreleased SNES prototype "Comanche"?

Welcome, protonic!

It could be Comanche, but we would certainly need some more information.

Have you tried to play it in the system?

Nice find and welcome to DP, protonic!

If I could make a suggestion, it'd be to cover the EPROM windows on all three with black electrical tape or something darker to prevent UV rays from entering and destroying the data.

Also, here's hoping for Comanche.

OMG, Comanche. I recall seeing a CES video of it and looked awesome (for the time).

I posted on Nintendo Age, but I will say again, neat find!

BTW, if you want to dump Commanche, you will have to do it by removing the EPROM chips and reading it with an EPROM reader, because the lockout chip will probably prevent a conventional dumper from working. The long board one should work fine in regular copiers. Both SNES prototypes appear to have x411 lockout chips, so you will need a US SNES or a Super Famicom to play them.

Sweet, NBA Hangtime!

After closely looking at the "Comanches" photos, it appears to be Comanche or another Super FX utilizing game due to their being what looks like a Super FX (2?) chip with a copyright date of 1993 from Argonaut Games. Chances of Comanche are very high.

Sweet finds!

Are you going to preserve the games and let everybody play them?
