invisible kid Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 So in the eighties I had a friend whose father worked for a software distributor, and at one point he gave me what he called a prototype of the game Oil's Well. I had it all these years and looked forward to dumping the roms and seeing if it was a unique version. It turned out it is byte-for-byte identical to the cart on Atarimania. So it was a bit of a letdown, but I wanted to post a pic of it in case it would be of interest to anyone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I can't remember if it was this game but does it get to a certain point where you can't complete the level ? Slightly related, I do remember Red Max having this rock that made it impossible to get through so I made a screen dump program and edited it out.

Still cool regardless, thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraddude Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Wasn't Oil's Well on one of those anti piracy videos that they showed us in computer classes in middle school like back in the 80s. I vaguely remember seeing this as a child. I'm sure a youtube search could find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
