bennybingo Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I never saw that one...Is it a lost prototype, or is it something you have found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I never saw that one...Is it a lost prototype, or is it something you have found? It was in a video on Atarimania.com. I think nobody just never noticed it before. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Weird! Any more info on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Weird! Any more info on this? No. I was just looking at all the videos on Atarimania.com and noticed this game which I've never seen or heard of before. It's the bottom, right hand one called Atari CED In-House Promo - Second Quarter 1983. http://www.atarimania.com/list_videos_atari-400-800-xl-xe-___8.html Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wouldn't that be a computer game, not 5200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wouldn't that be a computer game, not 5200? Watch the video I posted above. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimefighter Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It may be no more than a tech demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Looks like some sort of light gun game, strangely enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Looks like some sort of light gun game, strangely enough. Looks like a memory match type of playfield to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Ah, at 10:24 of the video. No name given. Personally I've never seen that game before on another system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that seems to make more sense. The sprites also look "monster-esque", and there are obvious matches between panels. Anyone have any ideas what this title could potentially have been?

BubsyFan101 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Looks like some sort of light gun game, strangely enough. I think this might have been an early version of bug hunt Edited October 5, 2012 by BubsyFan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubsyFan101 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Is the something in particular that makes you think that? Allan Or some game that uses the XG-1 Edited October 6, 2012 by BubsyFan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Or some game that uses the XG-1 How is that possible when the XG-1 was an Atari Corp product years later and this proto is from Atari Inc before the 5200 was discontinued? BUMP due to discussion over at an Atari themed Facebook group... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimefighter Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) I doubt that's what it is, but it resembles the obscure arcade game Zzyzzyxx by Cinematronics after seeing footage of it today. Edited June 9, 2019 by Crimefighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
