Well, seeing as how I'm the only person on the internet who's capable of forming opinions of his own, and not relying on everyone else to form my opinions for me, I did this contest based on the chance that the rom could be real.
I mean, there's really not much to lose. ____________________  |

Here we go:
Posted by "okibi on ratedo.com" So now this supposed thing goes to another contest at some other time. Whoop-de-doo. Next time I want to see a print screen of okibi's computer with the rom playing in an NES emulator as some kind of evidence that the thing is real. ____________________ |

Actually it was a bit of other stuff, too (you're oversimplifying it)
It was actually to describe some stuff, then translate it to hylian... oh well, who cares, it was a fake anyway. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

That was Okibi's exact email to me. So yeah, that was the answer. Frankly, I'm not all that surprised that we didn't get it right. 
Now that this information has been revealed, I guess the answer is something like: The Triforce is kept in the Golden Land or the Sacred Realm depending on what game you're playing. The Sacred Realm tended to be able to be changed to reflect a person's heart, when said person acquires the triforce. Ganon is evil, thus the Sacred Realm would be warped into a dark world. As far as I know, this only happened in Zelda 3. In the rest of the games, the Sacred Realm served as a place to lock Ganondorf away. All of this, translated into Hylian that is. I have no idea how Okibi planned on checking it. Hell, I probably could've gave him a Hylian-gibberish image, just as long as there was a lot of text in it. 
Edit: The important thing here is that we now know what to expect in the contest. When the next one (with the z3 proto as the prize) comes up, if you guys want to try again, I think we might have an easier time with it. ____________________ |

Flurry #&postrank& Posted by Gzila Looking at this again and comparing, that was definitely close, but I wouldn't have guessed either 
At least we'll get a second chance with a later contest, but when is it going to be? Whether the ROM is real or not, it's still worth a try just in case ...____________________ |

Posted by FirePhoenix0 That reminds me, I have a prototype of Zelda OoT for NES: 
I guess they scrapped it because NES was too weak to do textures.  I'll give it to whoever can tell me my shoe size by July 10th!
[edit] Fuck, how did that white bar get there? Too lazy to fix it though. |

Posted by HyperHackerPosted by FirePhoenix0 Men's 12, American size standard.
Yeah I guess screenshots can be faked. I thought of that as i posted but then thought "who cares..." Oh well, I guess there's no good way of knowing that it's real of actually obtaining the ROM. Or would a video be good enough proof of it's existence? (Care to refute me with a video of that OoT NES prototype HH? )____________________ |

Flurry #&postrank& What about my picture of the prototype Zelda 3 ending, it's not real?
But yeah, a video of the prototype in action (even short) would be much more convincing, as the only reliable way to fake it would be to code a fake "prototype" yourself to record from (or be really bored and fake a few hundred frames on a TV)
Still though, we'd know for sure now if we could just have won the contest ... ____________________ |

I just love how people jump to conclusions just because the contest wasn't won. Of course you can't verify it, and I can understand why people would be frustrated. But because you're so bothered by it, you're free to make up any excuse you want just to feel at ease??
Here's something to think about: During the last couple of days of the contest, I started receiving a lot of hints, maybe it was because I was asking the right questions, but it sure seemed like he wanted someone to win. As an example, my submission: > aarrggh, this is frustrating. xkeeper's clue of "Wrong. You are on Step 4" > So the numbers don't really mean anything. What's bugging me even more, > why would a question be considered wrong? Unless you're asking the wrong > question. > > hrm...how about "What Hint are you on?" > > Then again, you could be asking me the question, and answering it in > advance.I would more then likely say "Step 6" in which your response would > be that I'm wrong. I have yet to figure out what the cycle of numbers could > mean... > > But assuming you weren't intending the puzzle to be solved by a group, an > individual wouldn't know immediately the numbers are shuffled, so that's > probably not part of the equation.. > This was the type of questions I asked. The response I got was what Drag posted in the boards earlier. Posted by Drag And another: "The end is drawing near and honestly, I thought you'd figure it out by now. Here is a hint that should help... "Five steps five hints" ties together with the latest hint I gave YOU. There is truly only one step, the other 5 steps are hints to solve that one step. Read the Project Zero page. There is ONE STEP! Have a good day! -okibi" But because I received so many hints lead me to believe that he really wanted someone to win the rom. I seriously doubt he was doing it merely to "toy" with me or some other bullshit like that. |

Regardless of whether or not the ROM is real (and my money has always been on "not"), this guy is a douchebag of the highest caliber for dragging so many people along like this, and if his ego gets any bigger, it's going to explode in an enormous, buttery fireball.

I couldn't make heads or tails out of what the answer for step 6 was. What the hell was the answer? Was there one particular answer or did you just have to write a friggin essay about it? Got no time for jibba-jabba. Pity the Fool. |

Me either. Anyway, it seems that okibi is a scam artist. You see, he never gave the cartridge(if it ever existed)to Supergun, even though Supergun paid almost $1400 for it!

Now wait just a second. Why must everyone jump the gun on EVERYTHING?! Supergun paid in full, that is true. I shipped the game to him via FedEx (the overnight option). However, I'm not sure what happened but he requested a refund. (the game doesn't work, remember it broke) HE GOT A REFUND AS WELL! I have all the receipts, paypal transactions, etc. to prove it.
I honestly don't know what happened to the game. Supergun and I have agreed to not discuss the catridges future for reasons of our own. But know this, we BOTH came through with what we promised. He received a refund simply because he was unhappy with receiving the game for one reason or another and I am an honest person. There is NO REASON to get into other people's persosnal business (mine and Supergun's) for any reason. Yeah, I did join that forum and PM'd Supergun's "friend" with what really happened, but he never responded. Get your facts straight. -okibi |

blah blah blah. I'm still not buying it.
You still have not provided a smidgen of undeniable proof that this game is real. On every single occasion you've had to prove the naysayers wrong, you've either shown blatant hoaxes or given bullsh*t excuses. You claim to have the ROM, so why not give us a few emulator screenshots? Or does your computer crash every time you try to take one? Go ahead, make up another excuse. I'd love to hear it.  ____________________ [citation needed] |

Give him a rest will ya? Why can noone take people word for anything anymore? Can't you at least pretend to believe him and wait until undenyable proof is out there? Stop being assholes, I know I have said things in the past about Okibi, but I was just trying to be cool. Kinda like pot smokers. ____________________ I miss post headers more. |
