  The story about the California Raisins prototype is nuts. Starting out with being given to a retro gamer worker after someone&apos;s kid wanted an xbox, to the poor guy losing his life over an unfortunate argument. Brandon Murphy could have easily sold it for thousands, but knew something like it deserved to be shared with the world rather than held hostage for the sake of value. Dude will forever be a legend

  It&apos;s wild to think that the Crazy Raisins game would still be lost today if the kid it was meant to go to hadn&apos;t gotten an XBOX. Really makes you think about how many lost or valuable prototypes are just lying around with people who have no idea about what they own.

  ugh. those people who wanted to buy the California Raisins prototype to be the only ones to have it and not release it for documentation make me absolutely sick. if you&apos;re collecting rare and unreleased games with the intention of showing them off to friends like a strutting peacock and keeping them away from everyone else, you&apos;re in it for the wrong reasons. collect something whose history isn&apos;t as important if you want to actively hinder its preservation.

  I started thinking &quot;Huh a raisin game, neat&quot; but now? I can only salute Brandon Murphys kindness and lament his short-lived life due to those bastards.

  That raisins story ended on a really bad note. <br>Also insane to think that collectors would drop out just because a game has been released yet as if that makes it more valuable solely.

  Bio Force Ape looks like one of those impossible games, how on earth did they squeeze that much speed on a smooth scrolling game on the NES? And that character animation is way beyond what I&apos;d normally expect from that console.

  Cancelled and unreleased games being unearthed invokes a special feeling to the game, regardless of the game&apos;s actual quality.

  Bless the souls of those who chose to preserve these lost games rather than take the money and let then sit on a shelf forever.

  That Bio Force Ape story was a wild ride.

  I learned more about the California Raisins editing this video than I ever knew prior.

  The people saving these unreleased prototypes are my heroes, the people who buy them and refuse to let them be dumped are the scum of the earth.
