I discovered this afternoon that two SNES carts I've had tucked away in my Archives are these the two prototype games listed in the post title... Not sure if linking offsite is kosher or not (mods delete if you want  but more can be seen at http://www.facebook.com/GamemasterHoward/
thx

| I'm in no position to say anything about anything, but good god, sir, it is an honor to even reply to your presence. You had more of an impact on my childhood than could possibly be healthy. |

Great to see you here, Howard!
I sent you a private message about Mer Wars. Like I said on my post on Facebook, Bob Clardy doesn't have any recollection about this game being developed enough to be made into demos.
It would be interesting to learn more about Reactor, as I have never run across it. Time to break out the Super Play magazines later. :) |

| Man, I was just transcribing one of our interviews and came to my forums to unwind a little, and here you are. I can't escape you, Howard. |

Keeping in mind the auction says those are just empty shells 
Great to see you here Howard, I was wondering when we'd start seeing you on some forums somewhere. |

| ...matches the socketed EPROM position on the prototype cartridge PCB... I wonder how they ever got separated? I don't recall the cart housing and so I likely never had it in my possession... |

Agreed- it is delightful to see you here, Howard! Nintendo, as well as Howard & Nester, will always have a special nostalgic place in my heart. Thank you for all you did and continue to do for videogaming! |

| I would also like to thank you for posting these here, and for all the stuff you've been putting on Facebook/Twitter recently. So stoked..I used to wonder what the random stuff on your workspace was in pictures in Nintendo Power, and now we get to see what some of it is! Oh yeah, and thank you for the HUGE impact you had on my childhood. |

| hey howard, good to see you around here! big thanks for this and no doubt everything you've done for us over the years. you inspired a ton of fandom and personally for me, i have stuck by that love of games by doing video game remixes, more than 12 albums worth now. i dont think i woulda stuck with it had people like you who worked at nintendo kept the faith alive the way you have. hope to see you post more here, lost levels is a great forum! |

| I like these games because I get to hunt down any music that might have never seen the light of day otherwise... including really well hidden music! Actually... do either one of these two have any music, or even sound effects? Just out of my own curiosity. |
