The_Laird Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 Nice list... anyway of making it easier to read for the colorblind? (maybe list each under it's heading?) I tried to use colours that couldn't easily be confused and thought this was the best way to do it as I already had the list in alphabetical order from JS2. I could do another post that lists the catagories as I can longer edit the original post (I had to several times to correct mistakes so I sure hope there isn't any more!!!)

Gunstar Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Well I'm not really color blind, but I'm finding that as I get halfway thruogh the list I forget what color means what. You have to concentrate on picking out one color at a time, with it's meaning in mind and ignore all other colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRV Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) Is Akira the anime Akira? Yes. I'm going to assume the Jaguar game was related to whatever THQ was planning to release on other systems. With "Toki Goes Apespit," did someone get the title mixed up with the Genesis version?

Its was orginally called Toki Goes Apeshit but they altered the title. I posted some scans of a preview of it in Edge magazine recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) who has max force? is it playable? Also, IIRC wasn't tinhead the game that was supposedly in a storage locker somewhere but was never confirmed to still exist (ie: may have been disposed of or erased?). If that is still the case, i think that "proto known to exist, not released" is an inappropriate status, but it'd be interesting to know if something changed.

+remowilliams Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Aside from the known stuff, most of this reads like some ridiculous wishlist. There's a huge difference between 'unreleased' and 'nobody ever did a single line of code or inked a contractual deal, or even thought hard about the idea for more then ten seconds and possibly a screenshot appearing in a magazine from another platform' I could list out thousands of games that were 'unreleased' on the Jag, starting from the 2600 and moving my way to the Xbox 360... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is still the case, i think that "proto known to exist, not released" is an inappropriate status, but it'd be interesting to know if something changed. Some years ago somebody I know was privvy to Max Force but the problem was that it you couldn't play it with a Jag controller IIRC. Tinhead is supposedly still sitting in storage in a warehouse in Bristol (England). Somebody from Microprose confirmed it existed but the nearly complete Gunship 2000 also by them was lost.

The difference is that ALL these games were announced for the Jaguar and appeared on OFFICIAL Atari release lists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody from Microprose confirmed it existed but the nearly complete Gunship 2000 also by them was lost. Given that MicroProse hasn't existed for nearly a decade any warehouse or storage facility would not still be holding on to anything of theirs waiting for the Jaguar revival to cash it in . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I never said anyone was waiting to cash in I merely said that somebody (not me) spoke to one of the programmers who used to work for Microprose and he said it still existed but was in a storage warehouse with some other stuff. Dosn't mean its true of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozencl Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I don't really have a problem with the games listed - despite the fact that some of them seem to be complete fantasy - if Atari announced them officially. My problem is the categories and the criteria that determines which category a game should be in. GREEN - Some code existed but has been lost - Should really be According to <source> code existed but has since been lost. PINK - Proto is known to exist but has not been released - Is fine, as long as the prototype is actually known to exist. e.g. Thea Realm Fighters is owned by a member of the community and has been seen. The same was true for Robinson's Requiem. BROWN - Game close to complete but lost or missing - Don't really think putting games in this category is a good idea unless there's a decent source saying that a game was approximately <value> complete before work stopped. Otherwise, it compels people to make assumptions like "It was worked on from Nov 94 so it must have been almost done". BLUE - Game finished but lost or still missing - Same as PINK. Telegames/Songbird may have it or if the developer/publisher has confirmed it was finished - fine, if not, it doesn't belong here. All games that have been put in these categories should have a reliable source confirming the determination or be left as simply Annouced by Atari/Unknown. Doesn't Cyberroach already have this sort of information for some games? Note: Claims such as the following DO NOT count: "A friend of a friend's brother who used to know somebody who once spoke to an individual who was married to a person who once, at some vague period in time, worked for a game development company said that prototypes existed and are stored in an underground bunker/secret warbdrobe akin to the one featured in Narnia/the warehouse from Raiders of the Last Ark.". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is the categories and the criteria that determines which category a game should be in. Yes, I think you hit the nail right on the head. The categories really need to be redefined, and unless there is actual known evidence or directly quoted sources (which would need to be part of the list), 'Annouced by Atari/Unknown' should really be the category of most of the list. Maintaining some vague rumor/wish list, most of which is probably the communities own talk bouncing back in on itself over the years doesn't really provide any value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
