Best Electronic Quadrun "Prototype"

[TheAtariMan]

Well, I was on Ebay, and I saw what I thought was a Quadrun Prototype. So I sent the person an offer and it got accepted. Soon after paying, I realized that it was a Quadrun released from Best Electronics. I didn't have any knowledge of there being real prototypes and then Best Electronics prototypes, which aren't really prototypes,

when I bought it.

 

I was wondering though, what is the value of a Best Electronic Quadrun?

 

Here is a link to the picture of the one I bought.

Probably around $50 - Atari2600.com had one for sale for not too long ago.

It's likely an authentic COB board with a pre-production ROM. So it's sort of a prototype but it's not a lab loaner. Dukes of Hazzard is the same though that game never did get released.

Jerry Greiner is not just some guy.

 

He's a well respected veteran VCS cart collector.

 

Owner of the only known VCS Pepper II (empty promo) cart:

Does the game seem complete? Have you tried playing it?

[The Galaxer]

Anyone?!?

[allhallowseve2000]

It's a POLE position shell only - Insides are "prototype" quadrun

[CPUWIZ]

Actually, the inside contains a real Quadrun board, mask ROM and everything.

Yeah, the game seems complete. I know in the prototype, the color for the surrounding stays orange most of the time, or something like that, but in the one I have, it does plenty of colors.

[TheAtariMan]

Here are a couple close up pictures of the front of the cart.

 

Then on the end label of the cart, there is a sticker that says, "Quadron Atari Prototype"

[nathanallan]

Dude, I still think you did okay.

[broncoman]

so what is the story with best electronics and there weird proto games ?

[CPUWIZ]

They bought palettes full of Atari "stuff", very early on and started discovering things that did not exist on the market or were worth distributing.

[broncoman]

ok thank you cpu wiz the reason im asking is i just bought a bugs bunny but its in a moon patrol case

[Mayhem]

Quite common, just shove the boards in any case that will work, and apply own label sometimes.

[high voltage]

Here's mine from Best from way back during the 90s, better cart shells for sure.

 

[broncoman]

thx for sharing

[ave1]

Jerry Greiner seemed pretty grumpy back when I dealt with him back in the 90s.... I was not too excited to do any transactions with the guy after that encounter. Maybe I just caught him on a bad day.
