Tempest Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 What unreleased TI-99 games have known prototypes or rom images? I've looked at a few rarity lists and here's what I've come up with (I'm excluding the educational games because I don't care about them). For the games with roms that don't exist I tried to only include games that were actually known to have been in development, not just announced: Roms Exist ========== Angler Dangler Ant Colony Astroblitz? (is the rom on TI Game Shelf the same game as the one Funware announced?) Astro Fighter Cannonball Blitz Cave Creatures Crossfire ET (Frogger type game) ET and His Adventures on Land (is this out there? it's not the Frogger type game) ET and His Adventures at Sea Fantasy Jumpman Junior (as Junkman Jr.) Lasso Lobster Bay Mission X Mouskattack Paddle Ball (Breakout) River Rescue Robotron: 2084 Shanghai Starship Pegasus Star Wars: ESB Submarine Commander Super Storm (Slime) Tutankham Wing War Roms Don't Exist ============= Astrochase Battlestar Galactica Battlezone Card Sharp Choplifter ET and His Adventures in Air Joust Submarine Battle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl99 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Cave Creatures was released as part of the ROMOx ECPC Library Junkman Junior was released by Databiotics in 1987 Additions: Championship Football [MBX] Championship Tennis [MBX] Green Muck [MBX] Mail Drop [MBX] E.T. The Extra Terrestrial [TI] Galactic Barrier [Funware] Galaxian [Atarisoft] Slime [Atarisoft] Springer [Atarisoft] Stratego [MB] Vanguard [Atarisoft] Star Wars ESB was never intended to be released on cartridge as far as I know. The rom for E.T. and his adventure at Sea exists, but I am not sure about ET. and his adventure at Land. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Star Wars ESB was never intended to be released on cartridge as far as I know. Well the rom exists, I've seen pictures of it. Why would they develop it if they never intended to release it? The rom for E.T. and his adventure at Sea exists, but I am not sure about ET. and his adventure at Land. Oh? Any pictures out there? Is it available for download? Additions: Championship Football [MBX] Championship Tennis [MBX] Green Muck [MBX] Mail Drop [MBX] E.T. The Extra Terrestrial [TI] Galactic Barrier [Funware] Galaxian [Atarisoft] Slime [Atarisoft] Springer [Atarisoft] Stratego [MB] Vanguard [Atarisoft] These are all 'known to exist, but no rom available'? Slime is already on my list as Super Storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl99 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Star Wars ESB was never intended to be released on cartridge as far as I know. Well the rom exists, I've seen pictures of it. Why would they develop it if they never intended to release it? You seem to forget that the TI-99 was not a video game console but a home computer. Thousands of games were released on disks and tapes. Cartridge releases were only affordable to big companies. The rom for E.T. and his adventure at Sea exists, but I am not sure about ET. and his adventure at Land. Oh? Any pictures out there? Is it available for download? There has been a video documentary about several non-released cartridges including those e.t. ones.

Slime is already on my list as Super Storm. I don't know too much yet. E.T. is avaiable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schuwalker Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Interesting.... I swear I saw a pic of Lasso (boxed) in one of those yearly Ti 99 trader magazines.... I love how th TI took the Colecovision approach and ported some of the rarer arcade games - Centuri's Munch Moblie and Snk's Lasso (if it were found).

Tempest Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I swear I saw a pic of Lasso (boxed) in one of those yearly Ti 99 trader magazines.... Well there might be a pre-release manual out there somewhere (no boxes since this is TI we're talking about), but I've never seen it. The game was definitely never released though.

schuwalker Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks Tempest - one to cross of the list! The *boxed* part I was referring to was one of the generic plastic cases w/ the lables on the side.... I have to try to find that pic now!!!

+acadiel Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) We need to better identify the following on this list, and I can help a bit. These aren't all games, but these are the ones I've been converting to UberGROM. It's important to realize that a lot of these started out as #6 and got converted to #4 and #5, so they were never natively released as #1/#2/#3. 1) Items that actually have a native GROM image 2) Items that actually had native GROM+ROM images 3) Items that were a native ROM cart image 4) PROGRAM image items that were converted to GROM images (run from 32K) 5) PROGRAM image items that were converted to ROM images (run from 32K) 6) PROGRAM image (32K) * = Exists as UberGROM image as of 4/1/20 *Angler Dangler - 4/5/6 Ant colony - 3 Astro Fighter - 4/6 BASIC Support Module - 1 (* some had 2K RAM) Cannonball Blitz - 4/6 Cave Creatures - 4/6 *Card Sharp - 1 *Crossfire - 2 *ET (Frogger type game) - 2 *ET and His Adventures on Land - 1 *ET and His Adventures at Sea - 2 *Fantasy - 2 *Germ Patrol - 2 *Lasso - 4/5/6 *Lobster Bay - 4/5/6 *MB Gamevision Demo Cart - 1 Mission X - 4/6 *Mouskattack - 2 Paddle Ball (Breakout) - 4/5/6 *Peter Pan's Space Odyssey - 2 *Pinnochio's Great Escape - 2 *Plant Genetics - 2 River Rescue - 4/6 Submarine Commander 4/6 Robotron - 3 Shanghai - 3 *Simon Says - 1 *SMU Engineering - 1 *Starship Pegasus - 2 Super Storm - 3 *Test Trainer - 2 *TI Calc - 2 *Tutankham - 2 *Verb Viper - 1 *Von Drake's Molecular Mission - 2 *Wing War - 2 It's important for those labeled 4/5/6 that I get the original PROGRAM images for these so that I can convert them to "run from ROM". Many of these were converted to GROM, which need an UberGROM to emulate, and the ROM carts are less expensive to build, so I want to give people that option too. It'd be nice to actually make PROGRAM, ROM, and UberGROM images available for all of the ones that people released as "copy to GROM" (examples: Astro Fighter, Mission X, Cannonball Blitz, Cave Creatures, River Rescue, Submarine Commander, Angler Dangler, Lobster bay, and Lasso.) Please attach these to any replies so I can test them. Need clarification on ones I don't have, which are: Astroblitz Jumpman Junior (probably 3 - Junkman Jr exists anyway, so this probably doesn't matter) Star Wars: ESB Edited April 1, 2020 by acadiel verb 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Maybe I have to review my "Never Released" and "Rumours" tags and add the 1/2/.../6 infos here ? This is my actual list, Cartridges only, 7 = Never released, 8 = Rumours. But I never seriously maintained that data.... TI-99-4A-CARTs-Never-Released-v1.22.pdf This is the actual legend: Edited April 3, 2020 by Schmitzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Does a prototype for Joust exist? I've never seen that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
