Pixelboy Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKmQW7JTb6s&feature=player_detailpage I'm more enclined to think this is what those private prototype collectors think of their prized possessions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dJolYw8tnk Just replace the sword with a prototype cart.

san-d-2000 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 In the Atari 2600 forum i posted these youtube movies about Imagic, and someone responded the following: I have 3 protos (Atlantis & cosmic ark & wing war for cv) from Imagic. A friend of mine worked next door to them back in the day and got them when he got invited inside while digging through their garbage for consoles (long story) to trade for C=64 s. he gave them to me about 20 years ago. Here's a link http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/206276-the-making-of-wing-war-and-atlantis/?do=findComment&comment=2655597 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymiester Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) He snuck into the US....hired Seal Team Six and took it from some guy in Georgia if I recall correctly.

WispFollower Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I just came across a huge list of protos for cv.. It says Joust was possibly going to be released in 2012.. What happened? Also, I want Pizza Time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The Joust prototype was released in rom format many years ago and was even made available in the early 2000's in cart form by C.G.E. as well as AtariAge. This particular Joust prototype, however, does not contain any sound effects or music. It is widely known that one person does have all the separate sound code for the game, but is not willing to share it with the community. Earlier this year NewColeco actually started work on implementing sound effects (and maybe music, not sure) to this available prototype rom, but for reasons unknown the project stalled and there has been no further mention. As far as Pizza Time, there is no known info of an actual prototype in cart form or rom image form that is known to exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Yeah, that too PixelBoy. I forgot to mention, Indifference, and by that I mean "not a real ColecoVision enthusiast". Too each, his own. WispFollower, what you will start to realize is that for some reason the ColecoVision scene is not the open and sharing community that other systems have going for them. Thankfully there are a lot of really good people in the community that make it very worthwhile to be involved in... so don't sweat the little things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega_SHARK Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/800#more-800 devwebcl just posted this link in the 2600 forums, if you scroll down to around the CV logo, it gets Really interesting. At first I thought it was Lord of the Dungeon. But I think the proto is something different. Anyway, it's a really interesting read just in case you don't get to the 2600 part of the forum much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WispFollower Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Anyone want to join me in an Indiana Jones-like quest to find a copy of Pizza Time? It will probably entail sneaking around in castles with tapestries, punching Nazis, and more than a few chase scenes. Don't forget to bring bullets in case some guy threatens us with a fantastic display of swordsmanship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, it was planned to be a Coleco release, but was originally planned to be developed by Mattel/Nice Ideas in France. Beyond that there has never been any further news or information as to whether development ever got started.

I can't wait to crash through my first castle window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to crash through my first castle window. Why not take the easy route and learn the C programming language, make your own version of Pizza Time for the CV and then magically announce in about one year that you tracked down a completed version of the game and will be releasing it as a CIB for the masses to enjoy. Maybe I should I sent you a PM concerning all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for providing the link, it was a great read and hopefully one day Carol Shaw will see fit to share her proto of that game with the community.

NIAD Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I checked thru all my files and don't have anything besides what I listed above... it was to be developed by Nice Ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
