THE AtariGuy Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Most of the Parker Brothers games have been found except Circus Charlie and The Incredible Hulk. Do you think they still exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bfstats Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 From the “Atari Compendium”: http://www.ataricompendium.com/game_library/unreleased/unreleased.html#circuscharlie …a quote from Philip Orbanes, who was the Senior VP for Research & Development at Parker Brothers at the time: “…we laid off 95% of our formerly booming electronics R&D staff. During this process, Circus Charlie was canceled and no one had the prescience, or will, to archive unfinished work." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. kwack Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Don't forget about James Bond as seen in Octopussy! Those three games are the only ones left from the 1983 catalog that haven't been found in one for or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergun Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 If memory serves, it’s even easier then that. Wasn’t an overseas pirate cart found with the Incredible Hulk rom? (circumstances similar to the pizza chef scenario) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergun Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Maybe I’m confused on this one then. I’ll go back and double check my archives and see what my research turned up. It might have been a less obvious scenario like the 2600 Cosmic Avenger theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen proof that Hulk exists. I don't remember anyone ever telling me it exists either. My memory isn't the best so it's possible someone told me someone has it but I know I've never seen a picture of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamer74 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Pretty convincing, isn't it? Marc does great work and so does Shawn. It figures I couldn't fool the experts. Hopefully someday it will get found for real. Although if it does it will probably be on those prototype carts with masking tape on the front.

That was the Roklan archive which was found and sadly didn't have Hulk.

classicgamer74 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 This is one that I'd like to see remade. Although I'm not all that sure how it actually worked. The split screen is kind of confusing (if you look at the mockup screenshot). If you look elsewhere in the some PB catalog you will see other 2600 games' screenshots. And the released product didn't look anything like what was advertised. I think Matt once pointed out that these "screenshots" are artist's renditions of what they might look like. With that in mind, the Incredible Hulk game might not have not got much further than the concept stage. Even with the crumbling game market, you'd think they would have made the game since they paid for the licensing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
