Monitor Ebay
There is a good chance that another Trespasser Beta might become available in the future. The best way to find one is to monitor online buying and auctioning websites like ebay periodically. Occasionally, prototypes will surface on Ebay for video games. Trust me, I won five Sega CD prototypes and one Sega Saturn Prototype in an online auction recently so I should know.

Re: Monitor Ebay
It's what a lot of people searching for prototypes do. Online Auction sites are the most likely place to find Video game prototypes. (actually more like the most convenient.) It's a known fact. The chances of one appearing on there are slim but it still never hurts to check. Sometimes you get lucky.

Re: Monitor Ebay
For all the german folks around here, I could also recommend my own plattform http://www.bazaaria.com. Not to sound like a douche, but bazaaria is actually a great alternative to eBay with its focus being on all the non-powersellers out there. The system works like the following:
Anyone can upload there own items to the system for free. For any product he/she uploads, he can receive offers that can contain products and money alike. That way it is possible to either swap or sell your product - its up to you what kind of offer you accept. If you do accept an offer, it will be free as long as only products are exchanged, there is only a fee involved once you purchase a product. We even implemented a true escrow service that will take the risk of losing money from either side of the deal!
Only downside is, that we are currently limited to german speaking members only. But we will definately try to launch an english version soon.
Oh, and to get back to topic - i myself am offering a copy of Trespasser there

Re: Monitor Ebay
Thanks for the tip. Right now, any extra auction sites besides ebay will work. I don't just mean monitor ebay. It is also a good idea to monitor other online auction sites as well.

Re: Monitor Ebay
If it's possible to get an RSS feed to monitor such a thing, it would help..

Re: Monitor Ebay
That works too I suppose. I'm just really into finding an even earlier beta than beta 96. I'll contact my acquaintance, drx to keep an eye out as well. Yes, this is the same guy who released over 1000 Sega Genesis/Mega Drive prototypes in one day onto the internet. (11 of which were Jurassic Park Rampage Edition prototypes which only 9 of them run on emulators.)
