 Unreleased SMS "Game de check! Koutsuu Anzen" (ゲームでチェック！交通安全)
 Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2005 9:47 am
|
|
*EDIT* Topic renamed from "SMS - Self Check 3-in-1 from Tokyo Marine and Fire Insurance Co. LTD (Asunde Manabu Koutsuu Rule)".
From the awesome Suka Sega's Nofu, This is (apparently) a copy of a copy of an article published in a Japanese paper around 1988: 
A driving rule related 3-in-1 cartridge for the Sega Master System & Sega Mark III, very much in the same spirit as Car Licence (except this one looks better :) Transcription of the article instruction:
Summary: Game de check/koutsuuanzen *not for sale *TOKYO MARINE AND FIRE INSURANCE CO.,LTD. *3 in 1 ■ドライビングセンテンステスト(driving sentence test) 1.ドライビングアイ(driving eye) 2.スピードセンス(speed senｓe) 3.ドライビングテクニック(driving ｔechnique) 4.リスクコントロール(risk control) ■君はベストドライバー(you are the best driver) ■ピョンきちアドベンチャー(pyonkichi adventure) Of course, this is near impossible to find. I don't know anyone who own this cartridge right now. Might be a legend. Thanks Nobu!

Auctionned

A cartridge for it is being auctionned now.
The name is "Game De Check! Koutsuu Anzen" (ゲームでチェック！交通安全), meaning something along the line of "Let's check traffic security with a game!". http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k124368577 The initial auction price is 3 millions yens (about $32000) which the seller mention is a fantasy price, and he looking for direct offers starting from a tenth of that, 300000 yens. Meaning it is just too expensive, but I think it is possible that it sells. Game is tested and working although there's no screenshots provided. Attaching the auction text. 幻のソフト
ゲームでチェック！交通安全 動作確認済 全文を了解の上、責任を持って入札ください セガ・マスターシステム/マークⅢ用ソフト 「ゲームでチェック！交通安全」 を 今回出品させていただきます ネット上では所有報告も無く、実存するのかどうかも知られていないソフトで 海外のセガ愛好家のサイトでは “入手ほぼ不可能のレジェンドソフト” と評されております これは1988年、交通安全の啓蒙・教育のために東京海上火災保険とセガが共同開発し、 希望団体に貸出された（だろう）ソフトです。 新聞記事等で報道はされましたが、実際に出回ったかどうかは不明です これまでコレクションとして保管しておりましたが、 どれくらいの評価をされるのかという好奇心も兼ね、今回出品いたしました。 セガを心から愛されているコアなファンの方にお譲りできればと思っております コンディションは全体に軽い経年感、ラベルに軽い黄ばみ（日焼け）があります。 端子部にも経年感がありますが、あまり使用されていなかったようで接点は元気です。 出品に際し、マークⅢにて動作確認をいたしましたが良好です。 年代を考えると全体に傷みも軽く、使用中古としてはまずまず良好の部類に入ると思います。 とはいえ、美品ではありませんので細かい状態を求める方はご遠慮ください 画面写真はおたのしみ、ということでナイショにしておきます。 シュールでポップな感を漂わせつつ、結構やり応えのある楽しいソフトです （＾o＾） とりあえず高額で出品いたしますので、値下げ交渉より希望額をお伝えください。 納得の額を提示していただいた方にのみ連絡を差し上げます。 金額は30万円スタートとさせていただきます。 尚、必ず取引意思のある方のみ参加ください 1回の出品期間で交渉できるのは3回までですが、できるだけたくさんの方に ご参加いただきたいので何回か再出品をしてじっくりと開催しようと考えています。 楽しみながら参加していただければ幸いです Seller doesn't say from where he obtained the cartridge, but he held it in his collection for many years. He makes a reference to this very thread being the only place talking about it on the internet (quoting me for using the word "legend"). Says its good looking and well playable (with a "surreal pop" feeling to it). To be relativized on the fact that it is a driving security software, mind you. I would be interested in purchasing it but it's not even a semi decent price now. Just hoping that the buyer is someone I know, maybe the cartridge can be borrowed. :)

Well it's at least fascinately and stupidly expensive.
My offer is much lower than the asked price but since it seems like he's not selling it yet I thought I would give it a go. |

| Perhaps it be worth trying a forum fundraiser for any future prototype buying if its being sold to the highest bidder. I guess at least some people would be willing to donate towards getting a game so it could be dumped, rather than Bock trying to pay entirely himself. Its something that has been done on other forums for unreleased games. | |

Are we strong enough as a community to gather that kind of amount AND want to? I was ready to pay quite a bit (and Adol too I guess) but not even as high as the reserve price.
I don't mind trying but generally those occasions are pretty rare and I'm not fond of encouraging the price raise for those stuff anyway. Plus it's not like we have great organization on anything ^^ FluBBa donated some money last year which helped me buy a GG prototype but I couldn't dump it yet. Things are as much delayed by the fact that few people are working on improving our dumping technology and when they do it's quite seldom (there's no off the shelf GG Reader design anywhere to be seen). |

お久しぶりです。 このゲームの話題が出てくるとは…。 私もこのゲーム存在だけは知っていましたが現物は見たことがありません。 ネットオークションの内容を見る限り、ここのサイトの観覧したことがある人物のようですね。 ゲームは欲しいけど値段が高い。 20万円で落札されたようですね。 |

Been a while. The subject and come out of this game is .... There was only actual game I knew was never seen. As far as the contents of the auction, it's like viewing a site that people have here. Game I want is expensive. It sounds like a bid of 200,000 yen. |

Video from 1988

Lots of news today (I'll make two post).
First, someone uploaded a short TV segment where the game is shown: https://twitter.com/onda_to/status/1181406893090033669 The video was actually uploaded in 2011, somehow the only link to it I can find on the web are the tweet above and a YT comment three months ago. (I am attaching a copy of the video file here.) |

New auction with manuals, hard case

(Also see the video I posted above a few minutes ago^)
In the tradition of overly expensive car-related software, we have a new contender: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d392865103 *EDIT* moved to https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m365543231 Someone posted the game for auction, this time with 2 booklets and a hard case holding a SMS system as well. Current auction starts at 3,500,000円 (about $30K) which means it is not going to sell and the buyer is going to be waiting for offers, except with YAJ any message sent to owner is made public so it is traditionally not a place were people perform much offering. More likely it is going to sell to private hands for under a tenth of that. The manual also shows a date of 1987/12/16. We have a page http://www.smspower.org/Games/GameDeCheckKoutsuuAnzen-SMS with a screenshot of the title screen as published by the owner (who dumped it, but won't allow to release it).

幻のセガソフト 『ゲームでチェック！交通安全』 貸出し用純正ケース＋取説＋マスターシステム付 東京海上非売品カセット SEGA 動作確認済 Game de check! Koutsuu Anzen 関係者より譲っていただいた正規品になります。 1988年に交通安全の啓蒙、教育のために東京海上火災保険とセガが共同開発し、希望した団体に貸出されたソフトです。 ヤフオクでは2010年にソフト単品で一度だけ高額で落札された履歴があるようですが、今回はソフトの他に金属製の貸出用ハードケース、説明書2冊、マスターシステム（ACアダプタ欠品）のフルセットでの出品となります。 あまり貸出されなかったためなのかかなりキレイで状態いいです。動作も確認済みです。 ネット等調べてみてもあまり情報がなく、まさしく幻のソフトのようです。 この状態でのフルセットは今後そうそう出てこないと思われますので、 コレクションに加えられてはいかがでしょうか？ 【ゲーム内容】 1本のカセット内に、ドライビングセンステスト、君はベストドライバー、ピョンきちアドベンチャーの3つのゲームが入っており、特に違反すると点数を引かれるゲームは難しくて楽しめます。 【動作】 3ゲームすべての最初の方を少しだけプレイしましたが問題はなさそうです。 最後までは確認していませんのでその点ご了承ください。 マスターシステムは手持ちのACケーブルで動作させましたが基本的に問題なさそうです。ACケーブルは付属しません。 【外観】 ソフト：多少のキズ、多少の浮き、スレ、ジャケットシールのズレ・ヨレ、わずかな黄ばみがありますが、経年を考えると状態はかなり良いと言ってもいいと思います。端子も白くきれいです。 テキスト：ザーッと見た感じ書き込みはありません（見落としはご容赦ください）。多少の黄ばみ、小破れ・折れなどございます。 マスターシステム：ところどころスレや小キズはありますが、実際にあまり貸し出しされていないようでかなりキレイだと思います。 貸出用ケース：内部のスポンジが劣化でボロボロ取れます。外観は経年に対してそれなりです。 セット内容：ソフト、ソフトの説明書2冊、マスターシステム本体、コントローラー1個、RFスイッチケーブル（ACアダプタ欠品）、マスターシステムの説明書保証書（期限切れ）類、純正貸出用ケース（鍵付き） 写真にあるものがすべてです。 【※注意事項】 ・高額商品に付き、いたずら入札はご遠慮ください。いたずら入札をした方には厳正に対処いたします。 ・すり替え防止のため、返品、返金はお受けできません。 ・入札は取り消しいたしません。よくお考えになり購入の意思がある場合のみご入札し、落札された場合は責任をもってお支払いください。 ・発送は日本国内のみとなります。International shipping is not available. ・落札後3日以内に入金できる方のみご入札ください。入金がない場合は再出品または次点繰上げにいたします。 ・商品は画像のものがすべてです。画像にてご確認下さい。 ・細かいキズ等見落としなどあるかもしれません。予めご了承ください。 ・古いものですので、動作環境によってはプレイできない可能性もございます。上記【動作】で確認した内容は到着時の動作保証ではございません。予めご了承ください。 ・一切のクレーム及び返品はお受けできませんので予めご了承の上、ご入札下さい。

| Not $30K though... it's not even a good game, this is really a curiosity rather than something worth spending thousands on. | |

I don't think it worth it ^-^;; It just a special software made for a well known Japanese insurance company that must have just explained about basic road traffic laws. I wouldn't be surprised if such game was available at those parks in Japan that explain about road laws in general (we have one in the North of Kyushu).
Usually the park is free and allow you to borrow a bike and you ride in a closed road environment to learn about traffic light, signs etc. We mostly just went to do some cycling, like most people did (laugh). |

I'd say any unreleased SMS game is worth of preservation... but indeed not for that kind of money.
The long lost Bio Force Ape for NES for example sold in Yahoo! Auctions for 250,000¥ (a little more than 2,000€). More than 10 times that? Don't think so. The seller might really believe he can get 3.5 million ¥ because he is emphasizing he has the "full set". So I'm guessing it will take at the very least 1-2 weeks until he becomes open to offers. |

Bio Force Ape had much more hype, though.
There was a hoax/prank find of the game five years prior, on the once-popular game collector forum Digital Press, that created a few memes. |

128 people watching the auction right now.
It's not a very high number, since expensive and rare auctions attract a lot of curiosity. (The 10 million ¥ Super Famicom complete collection had already 987 watchers in the first 1-2 days.) Unfortunately the seller will probably misunderstand it as genuine buying interest. |

Collecting pledges:
I have in mind a maximum price I would like to bid. If you wish to pledge some extra money to help buying it, you can send me a private message with your pledge. Any help very appreciated but please only do it if you have the mean to, don't overstretch yourself. Thank you. (Obviously with intent of releasing the dump + scans). |

Didn't want to announce it until we got hold of the game. More news when possible. (Thanks to a lot of people for their help! I got about 165000 yens of pledges out of the total and that really helped as my own spending limit was around 400000 yens).

Game has been dumped now.
Will work on the scans. Goal is to get everything scanned before sending to France (in case of shipping issue). Considering getting a squad team to work on a translation patch, would anyone be interested? (Need hacking person to extract script first) |

| Yes my post was misleading, I'm most probably going to wait for someone returning from Japan to bring it here. If we ship it with insurance I would likely need to pay VAT on whole value which would be ridiculous (even more than cost of a flight ticket..). *EDIT* Should be able to get it around the end of January. | |

I confirm this safely arrived in Paris now.
The game has both PSG and FM music. Game was clearly developed by game-conscious people probably by some team at Sega, it "feels" very Japan-era SMS. Attached some quick photos of it runtime on my old monitor, five minutes before the monitor decided to start smoking strongly and strongly died (there are paper capacitor in those, apparently it's fixable). Quite a bunch of text, it would be nice to work out a translation. Would anyone with programming/hacking translation experience be interested in working on extracting the script and reinjecting something with an english font?
