Hot Rox


Super Bagman

Recommended Posts

No, I haven't found one (darn...). Ok, we know this was the game that Atari later released as Demons to Diamonds. Does anyone remember a department store catalog (I'm going to guess JC Penny's Christmas catalog) that featured Hot Rox on the Atari page? There wasn't a photo, but it was listed on the bottom of the page as coming soon.

I begged and pleaded for this game (hell, I begged and pleaded for every new release) but was denied by mom n' dad.

Anybody else here remember this? Well... off to Ebay to search for old Christmas catalogs...

Can't say I remember that one, but in one of the early Atari catalogs you can bearly see a picture of the box. Its the one that has the rows of boxes on the walls and the 2600 with Pac-Man in it in the center. Of course the Pac-Man cart is just as interesting since it appears to be a text label!

 

Your not missing anything BTW, the last Hot Rox proto I saw was byte per byte identicle to Demons to Diamons. The decision to change the name must have been made quite late.
