    In my latest episode I discuss more Atari 2600 prototypes. I think there will only be one more 2600 prototypes episode and that one will be about unfinished (unplayable) prototypes and ones that haven't seen the light of day yet. After that I will move on to prototypes from other systems like the 5200, Intellivision, Colecovision, NES, etc. I was really surprised by the large number of prototypes for the NES, but not actually as Nintendo were very particular about what they allowed to be played on their system.

    I looked over some old posts to jog my memory and it was just the 8bit version I was messing around with. :(

     

    I don't know about you guys, but I can't get the 8 bit version to work. I can't get the C64 version to work either. The only one that works is the DOS version. I'm not sure why.

    Tempest, I have to agree with you on that. I'm really looking forward to when Muppet Go Round sees the light of day. Astro Grover is too cool and I'm going to be doing an episode on it and other 5200 protos. I guess I'm slightly biased because I was a Sesame Street kid growing up and it brings back a lot of happy memories. My daughter wasn't that big into Sesame Street when she was younger though, so I think a lot of the magic that they had in the 70's and 80's is gone.

    So far the only two 5200 kids games that have surfaced are Astro Grover and Muppet Go Round. I'm actually surprised either exist frankly as I figured Atari never started with the 5200 kids games due to the 5200 not exactly taking the world by storm.

    Btw does anyone know who bought the Muppet Go Round proto? It got ebayed and then disappeared (much like that Hard Head proto).

    Oh, Hi Thomas. Nice to see you again, as always. I was just wondering. I was just wondering as I'd like to do a compare and contrast on my channel. The prototype is frustrating as you can't really tell that you're moving and the enemy cars come so fast it's hard to avoid them. I don't remember the arcade being like that, but it's been like decades since I've played it.

    In this week's episode I discuss my favorite golf games. I tried to get a few from various different consoles and I threw in a great PC game that I spent hours playing in the early 90's. The highlight is the lost classic Amateur League Golf, a PC game from 2000. Did I miss any golf games that should be included in a followup video? Let me know. Thanks for viewing!!

    I am looking for an Intellivision (plug in play or classic). Let me know if you have one you'd like to part with and we can discuss it. Thanks!!

    In my latest episode I have another AVP (Arcade vs. Port) of Sega's mega classic Zaxxon. Of all the arcade games that I used to play as a child, mostly while waiting for my parents at Wilco in Lowell, Indiana, this was the game that gave me the most grief! It took me forever to beat it. Although some of the ports are easier than the arcade, not all of them measure up to the high standards set by Sega's first mega hit. Let me know what you think. What are some other games that you would like to see me do an AVP episode about? Thanks for watching.

    Yeah, I noticed after I posted that the site says "a.k.a. House on a Disk" which makes even more sense.

     

    I thanked you at the end of my latest episode for your help. Thanks again! I wouldn't have figured it out!
