Supergun Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Atari, Chris Omarzu programmed it IIRC. Thanks Wickey...that is what I thought.... Does anybody feel it could have been another company???? The more information I get, the better..... - Wonder007 I can 100% guarantee you beyond any doubt that it was going to be Atari, and that it would have had the awesome shiny silver smaller Atari logo label for the cartridge. (like millipede, stargate, crystal castles, pengo, gremlins) Reason I know is because it was one of the titles I searched for in vain for many years before realizing that it never made it to store shelves. REFERENCE: Atari Age March/April 1984 Volume 2 / Number 5 page 13 bottom right hand corner Atari Age did not cover cartridges made by anyone other then those made by Atari and for Atari. The article also specifically states that it will be for the 2600 system. It even mentions Zelda as the name of the Zookeepers damsel in distress... (I would scan the article and post, but uploading pics is a hassle here since you have to host them yourself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
