joshua #1 Posted February 15, 2004 wow, i just saw the screenshot on AA of mia for the 7800. is this a working prototype? if so how playable is it? is it ntsc? and will this ever be released as a .a78 file on the site? will it ever be released as a cartridge?

+Mitch #2 Posted February 15, 2004 It was supposed to be relaeased at CGE on cart a few years ago but it never happened. If/When it will be released is unknown. I believe John Hardie owns the prototype (which is apparently complete or close to it), I guess you could ask him. Mitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest #3 Posted February 15, 2004 It wasn't bad. I got to play it at PC4. It's your standard side scrolling fighter with some driving boards thrown it (a boat chase). It reminded me alot of P.O.W. It was pretty dull actually, but for a 7800 game it wasn't bad. It was supposed to be released at CGE2K3, but it never happened. Last I heard they were having trouble making the boards.

joshua #5 Posted February 15, 2004 also who is TNT games? were they programming this game for atari, or were they planning releasing this title themselves? any info on why this was never released? the title screen looks fantastic, and the other screenshots look impressive as well.

Mayhem #7 Posted February 15, 2004 John is incredibly busy a lot of the time, so don't expect a prompt reply on email you send him btw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DracIsBack #8 Posted February 15, 2004 Another one of those "hogged" prototypes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mayhem #9 Posted February 15, 2004 Not really. Sean and John were looking into producing the usual reproduction carts for CGE, but they haven't yet found a way to get the code off and running properly on separate boards. It only seems to work on the proto cart they have. No doubt it will be cracked at some point I hope, as I know there would be a market for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshua #10 Posted February 15, 2004 anyone know if this game uses the pokey chip for sound? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that several people in the 7800 community have offered to help get it working but as far as I'm aware none of the offers were taken up on. Too bad, because the 7800 could use more games.

Mitch it would be great to see this game followed through and finally on cartridge, based on the screenshots on AA this is hands down the best looking 7800 game. are there any other screenshots known available?
