+FujiSkunk Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Edit: I think I misunderstood. Am I now correct in saying you have a Jr. Pac-Man prototype and you want to know how much it's worth? If so, we do have some prototype collectors here that hopefully can comment. Tempest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provust Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Yes, I have one. Will post board pics later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Looks like you have the final version. http://www.atariprotos.com/5200/software/jrpacman/jrpacman.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Was it ever confirmed that the final version of Jr. Pac-Man doesn't have the bug that was found in the earlier version (if an object passes over a power pellet and you die before you can eat the object, the power pellet is impossible to clear on remaining lives)?

I've never run into it in the 'final' version, but that doesn't mean it's not still there I suppose. Maybe someone can peek in the code? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provust Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Any suggestions on a price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Maybe $100 or so. Atari 5200 proto carts are very common, as far as protos go. Granted, it is of one of the unreleased games, so that helps the value and desirability a little bit, but there are so many of them out there, so the value isn't the greatest.

Except this is an unreleased game and not a very common 5200 proto. I'd say $200-$250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 No doubt, it could fetch that in a well written & properly listed eBay auction setting. The problem is that when it comes to a proto of an unreleased game, if the rom data is public & readily available, especially as in this case where its' been that way for decades, the desirability is far less.

I think this could get in the $200 range. $100 is far too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Bit of advice. If you don't get any takers soon, and you can afford to hold it for a while, do so. This is a bad time of year to tempt collectors, and you may get more interest in a couple of months when everyone's wallets have (mostly) recovered from the holidays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after folks get their tax returns back. That seems to be the best time for me to get games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
