+Random Terrain Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 You guys have on the main page: "Did you know? Atari's Haunted House was originally called Nightmare Manor." Are you going to put that kind of information in the game notes? I noticed that the game notes section was empty for Haunted House. Thanks.

Scott Stilphen Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 It was also called "Grave's Manor"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 Someone should make a page of pre-production names for Atari games, some of them are pretty silly. I know I have a 5200 Roadrunner proto labeled Biddy (on the EPROMs) and Taz with two z's. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you consider adding this info in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 quoteAre you going to put that kind of information in the game notes? I noticed that the game notes section was empty for Haunted House. We have plans to add information for as many games as we can. We should go through the "Did you know?" list and make sure anything we've put there about individual games is also listed in the game itself.. Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 Here's some others I have notes on... Warlords -> Kings in the Corners (early name for arcade version) Desert Falcon -> Nile Flyer, Sphinx Star Ship -> Space Mission Dark Chambers -> Dungeon, (or Dungeon Masters?) Demons to Diamonds -> Hot Rox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 Some games have German names, and the HES games have different names too. Here the game I have from HES and which game it is. Alien Force - Cosmic Ark Hoppy - Quick Step Pigs 'N' Wolf - Oink! Creature Strike - Demon Attack Star Warrior - Star Wars TESB and there are too many german games, so I will not list them here. Maybe you can see a list on www.gamereset.de . Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 I think some of the early names are better than the ones they finally stuck with.. Kings of the Corners, is much more original than Warlords... But then again, when they came up with the name Warlords it was probaby quite original, since it was so far back.

Tempest Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 Well if I find out any early names for prototype games I'd definetly put that info on my page. This prototype date thing is really getting interesting, I think I'm getting close to cracking the code. BTW, Hop To It was also an early name for Quick Step.
