Dutchman2000 Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 This game is mentioned in Atari Age Vol 2 nUmber 5 in the Sneak Peaks section. They say it was scheduled for the 2600. I believe this proto may exist somewhere...would be interesting to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Well, there is a rumor that someone has found it. But it's still just a rumor at this point, we'll have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Joe Santulli kept hinting that it had been found, but I think he finally admitted that he was screwing with us. Who knows though? I'd find it hard to believe that the 2600 could handle such a game (too many sprites moving at once), but then again I would have thought Xenophobe was impossible on the 2600 until I saw it.

NE146 Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 well.. too many moving sprites never stopped other attempts at 2600 arcade conversions in the past has it? Obviously it would have to be a scaled back version but really, what 2600 game isn't... Well.. whether it's good or bad, if the game exists, bring it on!!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I am still excited as to what Proto or completed unrelease project Ken@Activision is gonna pull from Dan?! I know Tempest must be drooling with anticipation...heheh... As for Zookeeper...I am sure it would be scaled down. And part of how they did Xenophobe on the 2600 was by not allowing the other second player to play at the same time. Plus..Tempest you yourself saw elevator action..and who would have thought that would look cool?! (Still wish there was a screenshot somewhere on the web of it...)

Mountain King Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Zookeeper, hmm. I could never get past the elephant board. Than that jerk stole my last quarter when I was kid in an arcade in Ocean City NJ while I was playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
