Bugs Bunny

Nothing
is as sweet as an original programmer picking up the mantle and completing
a game that was left unfinished long ago. This is what gamers got last
spring when Bob Polaro (of Defender fame, among others) released the finished
version of his original Bugs Bunny prototype. The game is excellent, great
graphics, fun to play, an exceptional two-player mode, and was released
in cartridge format for all to enjoy. The original unfinished prototype
was near completion and promised great things. It only required some finishing
touches to make it complete. The release of the finished game was conducted
through Atari2600.com at last year's Philly Classic3, with a personal
appearance and signing from Bob Polaro himself. They even had free carrots
for snacking in between games! The buzz around the release of this game
was large, anticipation was high, and the line for the sale of the game
stretched across the convention hall of the Philly Classic. If only all
prototypes got this kind of attention!
