is this your normal roms and test boards or did we miss something rare?

I know there are some good titles mixed in there, but did we miss something rare here??

Doesn't seem trustworthy to me, but then again I'm not an expert on these things.

I bid on this auction. Some of the names really threw me off such as fill square, ??? Bomber, revenge of the jedi and grow things? These might be protos or pirate chips.

 

A few of them looked like near final versions of games, Ice planet-near final version frostbite. Kitty Maze-near final version of mousetrap

 

Seems a bit iffy as he was unable to test them

Kitty Maze-near final version of mousetrap

 

Mouse Trap is an arcade port. There is really no reason that they would have changed the name during the development process. Either that game is something else, or the seller is trying to trick unsuspecting collectors into thinking the same thing you did.

So did someone here win these? I'm interested to see what's on the ones with strange names.

I think "Grow Things" should be the real name of some game.

I came close to winning. I looked on another site with rumored atari 2600 games. Ice Planet might be an early version of Ice Trek? Revenge of the jedi may be either game I or game II. ??? Bomber may be Super Scramble or Foxbat? I am just guessing on some of the titles for now.

Now... that would have been better to win than that strange auction that went for over $200 recently. At least this thing was a bit different looking... and kind of cool

They aren't prototypes (so they are all the final versions). You did not miss anything here, be glad you did not spend $170

 

Looks like they are mostly pirate copies with a few mask ROMs mixed in.

Yeah, that large PCB is 8K, strange for a pirate cart.
