Rare auction going on @ Ebay for a Donkey Kong Country: Competition Cartridge that was sold to Nintendo Power subcribers in the mid 90’s. Details below:
This is the full version of the game, but it has been slightly modified:
- A timer and point meter were added to the top of the screen, showing how much play time and how many points the player has, respectively. The time limit is 5 minutes.
- All maps have been removed; exiting a level will immediately lead into the next one. So the first thing the player sees after the SNES boots up is the beginning of the first level, with no title screen.
- When the timer reaches zero, the game “crashes”. The screen freezes, but the level’s background music will continue playing. The purpose being that nothing about the game would change, but the official had plenty of time to take note of the player’s score. A reset (or power cycle) was required in order to allow the game to be played again.
Ebay Auction ends April 1st.
