There wouldn't be anything interesting in this demo, would there? Working Designs didn't have to do much to localize Parasol Stars...the gameplay would be intact, correct?

Think of it as a primitive flash card (with eeproms that get flashed then installed on the pcb), used for testing of works in progress on real hardware back in the day.

What's so rad about that Superstar Soccer? It seems so out of place amongst everything else.

That demo card is pretty sweet though.  If I had money to throw around I'd try to pick it up.  I love Parasol Stars and old-school looking shit like that.  My AbCard is one of the first things people see when I get to show off my library, and it always gets a "WTF" look. :)
