Game Rogue

Picked my pre-order at GameStop today. GS only received 2 copies.

For those looking to B&M stores, I found it at Gamestop today. They got 1 copy; appears stocking of this title may be very limited.

You know... I don't know. I knew I had these, but I have so many boxes full a legacy gaming - I can't right say if there is more or not. However, I did post quite a few 2600 proto stuff a while back.

Past Finder says CC-104; copyright 1984 Activision on the label. Is Basic Computer Programming and Football on your site? I seem to have overlooked them. No... my Dig Dug is in a standard dark brown case with a silver label <<<Left Cartride on top., RX8026 Copyright 1986 Made in Taiwan.

... and I realy mean dig!!! It is never the first box you look in.... last box very end corner of the garage. Here are the 8 bit (and XE) games I have the number following the game is it perceived rarity. To me some of these look like protos because of the generic nature of the label. However, I will leave that for others to validate. Tempest... Let me know which, if any, games you'd like me to send your way for evaluation. Atari 8-bit Miner 2049er - 5 Droids - 8 Gateway to Apshai - 5 Orc Attack - 7 Baseball - 9 Oil's Well - 8 Major League Hockey - 7 Soccer - 4 Basic - ? Donkey Kong Junior - 5 Robotron 2084 - 5 Dig Dug - 3 (through my copyright date 1986 dies not match Atarimania records) Football - ? Football - ? (small yellow label) Alpha Shield - 8 Boulder and Bombs - 7 Video Easel - 7 Jumpman Junior - 5 Computer War - 7 (states for demo only on cart) Missile Command - 2 K-Razy Kritters - 7 Past Finder - 7 (White Label Proto?) Jungle Hunt - 5 Submarine Commander - 4 XE Video Game Cartridges (A somewhat weak collection I guess) Bug Hunt - 3 Archon - 7 (licensed from EA) Rescue on Fractalus! - 5 GATO - 5 Fight Night - 5 Food Fight - 5 BattleZone - 6 Lode Runner - 4 Hardball! - 4 Star Raiders II - 4 Midnight Magic - 5 One-on-One - 5 Blue Max - 6 Ballbalzer - 4 Barnyard Blaster - 4

Refresh my memory - - was I to send all the 8-bit stuff to you? Or were there specific ones that we spoke about? ...I will dig the stuff out - and re-list (did I do that already?) what I believe to be non-retail and or rare. Do I have to fire up my 400 to see if the carts in question still work? Or will you take as is, once we understand which carts are worth the effort to analyze? Thanks

He never sent them sadly. I'll try contacting him again this weekend. Tempest Hello - is someone wanting something of me?

Great, glad to see them up on Atariproto site with informative descriptions. Not that I want to toot my own horn (lol) but is there credit tag for locating (owning), giving access to the protos given on the Atariproto site? I'd like to thank Tempest, Albert and Thomas Jentzsch for all their time and effort regarding the Apollo stuff. BTW: Are any of the other protos I sent you Tempest, worthy of inclusion to Atariprotos? BTW2: I still have to get out the Atari 400/800/XE protos.

Tempest? It is getting near a month since I've heard anything about the status of those unknown protos or for that matter any details on the other protos I sent you. Update please...

Good to hear... any of this worthy of Atariproto listings?

BTW: There were two games I was unable to get working - Beamrider and Robot Tank I think. Did you have any luck with them. Also what does WIP mean?

Now that you have seen the protos, what are your ‘expanded” thoughts on them? Are any of them rare (other than the Apollo ones), previously unseen/unknown versions or valuable? Is any of this stuff going to be posted to the Atariprotos site? Tempest, thanks again for taking a look at the games, and I’ll be getting to the 400/800/XE stuff this weekend. I’ll let you know what I dig up.

Great, I’m relieved you got them. See guy’s I wasn’t BS'n you about this stuff. I have a couple other 2600 protos (Sorceress Apprentice and a cart that was not labeled) that I miss placed. When I locate (this could take some time) them, I send to Tempest for evaluation. Speaking of other protos, I have a few 400/800 and maybe XE proto carts too. Do you want to take a look any of them? Ken

K... I've been super busy at work. Tempest, I'll be in touch to get the details worked out.

So Guardian was released, but have any had the game in proto form? My (proto)version is not very playable.
