I know that I originally planned to use your tunes on the Betty Boop series. But as I lacked some music I just "borrowed" it for Hot Dog. So you are kind of involved in the prank too. As the Lynx game developement has been so hectic lately I totally forgot about me Betty Boop development. Perhaps some year when we have no celebrations... Welcomes! I can't keep up with Lynx or Jag these days. I'm struggling to get the 30th Birthday pack to even load. Since turning 40 I think my brain stopped working. I've probably missed a load of stuff and my lynx and Jag collections probably aren't so complete any more Let me know if you want to use any more music or need any more!

+davidcalgary29 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Maybe he’s missing the loader. Karri makes an excellent point — maybe he can ask rj1307 for an Aga with only Atari ROMs and PD demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichelS Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Yes - Same here. Would love to get this. But Hotdog is impossible to find. And the people who sold it years ago seem to have disappeared, so no new production runs, i guess. If (at least) it was available on flashcart with 3d-printed shell or as (paid) rom download... .

+jgkspsx Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 It is very mysterious. Maybe the game doesn’t really exist. It and Relief Pitcher are both old Atari prototypes, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjabba Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 From the original topic: Quote The first batch of 75 copies is being produced on custom blue PLCC boards. Some juicy gossip, I've been asked many years ago to port this game to the Jaguar I don't think I was ready at that point, but did some preliminary investigations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradockido Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I was very lucky in the past and was able to buy the Lynx games they had on their website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 There is something I don’t get. Did they do work on the prototypes? Otherwise, if they didn’t own the prototypes to start with, which they didn’t, the protectiveness with which they’re treated is a little hard to understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you visit their old web on web.archive.org you can read: "Hotdog is a fast paced, highly ambitious mascot game which was in development from 1993 up until Atari pulled the plug on the Lynx. Before Lore Design moved on to produce Highlander for the Jaguar they were able to create a fully playable demo featuring 5 distinct worlds and 8 complete levels."

They did not have any source code nor did they compile any version themself. Otherwise they would not have asked other people to replace the boot screen with a modified (copyright) one for them. Actually you can still see the old one in the ROM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Actually Hot Dog is just a concept demo created to present the game idea to the management. In case it had been successful the designer would have started to work on the real game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
