Eagle eyed GameSetWatch overlord Simon points us to this bordering-on-insane eBay auction for the unreleased Echo Delta. With a Buy It Now price of $1520, the Nintendo 64 game that never saw the light of day outside of its prototype state was an RTS/RPG action hybrid.

The gameplay, according to an IGN64 preview from 2000, is described as:

You have 18 minutes to raise a sunken ship from the ocean floor. To do this you scour the sea bottom in search of resources that can be used to help upgrade your special submarine named Scout.

The preview also mentions that the demo IGN was given was at 90% completion, meaning someone's about to get their hot little completist hands on what is presumably a nearly finished game. In fact, the lister added that "The game plays flawless, free of bugs. It is amazing that it is finished but never came out.". The auction was listed as a "Buy It Now", with Best Offers accepted, so we may not know for how much it exactly sold. Michael McWhertor
