Nukey Shay Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 There are a number of possibilities. For all we know, their license to produce the software might have expired. Granted, that's a longshot...but the fact is that we don't have the facts. Or (and this seems quite a bit more likely) that the existing Pac-titles were not selling like hotcakes at the time...to be able to justify a production on the sequel game. Heck, maybe their contract with GCC was limited to a given number of titles that Atari had to decide on through a per-year basis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I don't care if this ends up being a new homebrew project or a found prototype, I'm excited about it either way! Can't wait to see it for real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 FROM THE DIGITAL PRESS GUIDE: · According to 7800 GCC designer Steve Golson, the programmers had an early in-house version that instead of showing Junior disappear (when you lost a life), the propeller on his hat chopped him into little bloody pieces! {Steve Golson} So that shows it was a GCC title and that it really does exist.

gdement Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's a shame they didn't finish/release it (7800 version). Jr. Pac Man is my favorite in the series, not that I'm any good at it. Even at a time when older Pac Mans seemed old and dull, Jr Pac Man would have still been a pretty impressive game. I know I would have wanted it.

SRGilbert Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I think we need to see some video on this. I want to see him connect the 7800 to the TV, plug in the cart, power it up and play a few minutes before I'm convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think this is some kind of April fools joke where they just Photoshopped an arcade picture. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underball Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Anything......? The Rom was posted over in the 7800 forum 2 hours ago. It's playable, but apparently it's a bad dump, and crashes after you clear the first board. Al is going to see if he can re-dump it later.
