Atari8bitCarts Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I have in my possession what appears to be a Sesame Street Letter-Go-Round Proto. I sent it over to Tempest and he thinks that it might be legit. It could be that someone went to the trouble of copying the chips and slapped them in a different case (for this game I don't think so ), but the PCB throws that off. I see those on Proto's or works in process. Check the pic's out and let me know if you've seen this type before. Thanx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hello Chris, guys There's an address on the inside, maybe somebody could call (or even visite) them to ask whether they still have the molds for the cartridge case halves. Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 There's an address on the inside, maybe somebody could call (or even visite) them to ask whether they still have the molds for the cartridge case halves. I already tried that. The company is gone. That is the same company that made OSS carts, and the cart shells and boards will interchange. The only person I know that makes carts like that is Steve Tucker, but only limited runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hello Kyle22 Google tells me they are still in Fresno, but have a new street address now. Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Ah, yes, probably the same game as the "Muppet Go Round" 5200 prototype. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/162364-i-have-muppets-go-round/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hello Kyle22 Google tells me they are still in Fresno, but have a new street address now. Sincerely Mathy I think tracking down a company that produced these back in the 80's is futile. They're no longer in business, and if they got lucky got bought or diversified. None-the-less, not here anymore. Finding one still around would be a million to one shot. The question, is who has experience in our group with these parts? The case is that of Rally Speedway. The board is a bit of an unknown. I don't think Steve had these boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 If it's anything like other 3rd party protos I've found they probably just grabbed whatever cartridge case they had laying around. It's not uncommon, especially if it's an internal use proto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 The only reason I thought it might be someone's personal knock-off was the way the label and EPROM tape was written. Again, to knock this off wouldn't make a whole lot of sense unless experimenting. Does anyone have a Rally Speedway cart open to see the board?

Kyle22 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 As far as I know, Steve doesn't make that style boards, only MaxFlash and MyIDE stuff. He does make the plastics, but only in limited runs for his own carts. If there was enough demand, we may persuade him to make a run of cart plastics. I am currently looking for OSS type boards to fit in those plastics. If I can find the components, I am considering producing some Action! Mac/65 and BXL, BXE carts. If there is any interest, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am interested in PCB discussions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
