Tempest Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 In a recent lot of prototypes I purchased, I discovered a new version of RS Basketball for the 5200! While the differences aren't drastic, the prototype is still interesting since it shows that Atari was still developing the game long after it was thought they abandoned it. This prototype is dated Dec. 16th (the last known prototype was dated Oct. 31st) and mainly features improvement to the shooting and computer AI. The game is still woefully underwhelming and needs more work. It is unknown if Atari continued development on the game after this date, but it's doubtful. Sadly programmer Patrick Bass died in a car accident several years ago so we may never know the answer. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I wonder if there are some more phrases built in as well? Can't wait to see the review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 I wonder if there are some more phrases built in as well? Can't wait to see the review. Yes I believe there are, or at least the phrases are different. I'll have to dig through the code to see if they added any or just changed them.

Tempest Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 I've gone through the code and discovered that there aren't more sayings, but that some have simply changed. I'll have a complete list soon. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
