Revision as of 00:52, 7 April 2008

On February 23rd, 2008 at 6PM EST drx released over 1,000 various Sega and third party prototypes for several consoles. To build suspension to the event an announcement was posted across various websites and forums and a special IRC channel was opened on Sonic Cult's website called #sonicprotos (this was later renamed #protos). A hour before the release a special Skypecast was broadcast live over shoutcast. It was supposed to be stopped shortly after the release but it continued hours afterward and was only stopped as the number of listeners dwindled.

Most of the protos came from one place, they were obtained from Sega of America's Q&A archives from 1994-1995. The cartridge protos needed to be built from EEPROM parts. The price of these prototypes weren't disclosed but it is said the cost is in the five digit number range. The disc protos (Gamecube, Dreamcast, Saturn) were obtained at a earlier date.

Of the 1,024 prototypes that were released there were 155 Sega 32X prototypes, 300 Game Gear prototypes, 464 Mega Drive prototypes, 94 Pico prototypes, and 6 Nintendo Gamecube prototypes.
