Need the experts help with these games.

[fabman99]

Hi All, need you advice on these 2 items as too what you think : 1st one is clearly marked on cart but by whom ?, fox or store seller ?

 

2nd one is as seen in pics, but I can not get any game play to start up, only the squiggy color lines, is it a goner ? Who made it ?

 

Thanks

First one is a 20th Century Fox review copy.

Second one is most probably Alligator People, a 20th Century Fox prototype:

Don't like the looks of the Eprom window being exposed...the entire program is probably corrupted.

I have the same Deadly duck, it is definitely a review copy.

One of the board's traces looks like it's been cut or just may be dirt on the right side of the EPROM.

Hi All, thanks for the info. I actually have Deadly Duck, Worm War I, Fast Eddie and Beany Bopper all the same.

On the Weird game, I got it in a small game lot along time ago and put it aside because it would not play and just tried it again. The previous owner that had it, may have exposed it on a longer basis.

Is that Duck from this lot?
Nice lot, you probably didn't expect to get a review copy.

I'll buy that alligator game from you as-is (working or not) if you decide to sell it.

Re-program, instant proto.

...undeniably true...

but for the record, I use them as donors, cause my personal carts use real boards in proper shells.

ROM here are the pics of the other 3 so you can add to the database.

Prob gonna keep it for now and see if I can get it to work or send to Wiz to try it.

Well I finally got around to having it tested by Al and he got it to work only with Stella and is AP. He used a regular board and it still did not work. So my question is the problem the board or the the extra chip onboard.

Could be a dead 7404 but as Frank mentioned before there is that one trace on the board which does look suspect. I would do a continuity test on it to be sure before removing or replacing the hex inverter.
