Sneak a Peek at Unga Bunga

This is a sneak peak at the “Unga Bunga” which will be available through the store at some point in the future. It’s part of a new “Caveman” series we are experimenting with. The buttons and D-pad have actual pebbles embedded in the resin. The bumpers and L-R buttons are carved out and hand painted with our own special patina to give it the flintstone effect.

The cost is $200 + shipping. To enter for your chance to buy one of the last carts, simply send us a message on our facebook page with “EARTHBOUND” in the subject and include your email. We will close the facebook drawing at 12:00 noon Eastern US time tomorrow and message the winners with their invoice. Thanks to Stone Age Gamer for the collectors edition Bit Cases we used.

If you win, you must pay for the item within 48 hours or it will go to the next winner.

There will be 2 auctions going up after this contest is complete. 1 will be for the “Mother” light-up Earthboud Zero cart which is the only one in existence made by Rose Colored Gaming. And the other auction is for the very last Earthbound Zero cart that also has a light up globe. Below is a preview of these 2 items which will be on Ebay shortly. We will be donating 25% of the winning bid price to Make A Wish charity. Please note, all EB0 carts are not made for toaster-style front-loading NES systems, they are designed for top loading systems to be able to show off the design.

Well, the last batch of EB0 carts are done an we’re gonna be unloading them ASAP.

Yes, that is a white “Mother” version in there. It’s the only one we’ve ever made. It also lights up (as shown above). And it made of platinum. Ok, so it’s not made of platinum, but the other stuff is true. It will be for sale as well, just not sure how we’re gonna arrange that yet…

I know a lot of you are interested in knowing when we will have more faceplates available so thought I would drop you an update. We have designs in the prototype phase right now. When we get our hands on these and check to make sure quality is high, we will approve a large production run of our old designs and new ones. So hang in there, and feel free to post here about what designs you would like to see. 🙂
