Watch Out For Bootlegs (April 29, 2005)

I was cleaning up some Wing Commander stuff the other day and found a Prophecy Advance instruction booklet that felt a little too light. I took a closer look and found some interesting things. The button controls don't seem to make sense, and under the "Bosses" section, there's a picture of a Vampire named "Wild Scissors."

Quote:

A big-limbed mechanical alien that specializes in close combat. Destroy the arms, then the radar eye and finally the main body.

The descriptions of Felicia and Sheila G are just as weird. It seems that bits of the book are actually from Phalanx. Maybe the boss descriptions are as well.

WILD SCISSORS?! What idiot came up with that. Actually if a non WC fan played it they would have a strange suprise when they started to play the game

Wild Scissors can't reach you if you stay in the lower left corner of the screen.

How did you get your hands on that bootleg booklet?

It came with an ebay Prophecy Advance. So far, I haven't located any copies of the game that are copies however.

Do such things exist at all? All writeable cartridges I know are considerably more expansive then an original one would be so it seems to be pointless to sell copies to me. Unless you pull it off big scale maybe.
