Look's kind of interesting, too bad it's unfinished.

 

Alex, that for digging this one up.

 

Best,

I saw it this weekend at Sean's house. It looks odd. My guess is that you had to jump on balloons (or whatever those things on the sides of the screen are) or squoosh them with the masher thing in the middle of the screen.

 

Anyone know who the programmer was?

They're not balloons. They're grapes! I think the premise was that you're stomping grapes to make wine.

[Tempest]

Ok, I can see that. Know anything else about the game?

Ah, thanks Leonard. And thanks go to Marco K for making this one available for everyone.

[Marco(2)]

You're welcome

 

It took me a while to make these ROM dumps, but I finally managed to do so. Hope everyone will enjoy these ROMs (though there's not much playing fun to Squoosh).

 

There will be some more, so keep your eye on AtariAge!

 

Cheers,

 

Marco

If that's John Earney Squoosh you beat me too it by a few weeks. Oh well, it doesn't look that interestng anyway (I like protos you can at least play).

Marco, between you and Marc you guys kill me in the 2600 prototype department. I just talk about mine more I guess. I'm more a 5200 prototype person.

Matt,

 

I was just kidding. You know far more about (your) prototypes that I do, so I think you deserve the crown you're wearing

 

Cheers,

 

Marco

2600 prototypes are nice, but they generally don't have the depth that Atari 5200 prototypes do. 75% of the 5200 prototypes are complete games waiting for release. I think more than half the 2600 prototypes are major WIP and are pretty lously playwise.

 

Speaking of 2600 prototypes, I finally got around to playing Sinistar and Xevious. They're really good games on the 2600, I was pretty impressed. Xevious was definetly a big surprise, I guess I owe Tod Frye an apology.

Xevious is the one big unreleased title that I wish would have made it into production. I really love that game, and could play the arcade version for hours. Now if I had the 2600 version I could play at home...

 

(And no, I don't have any other consoles besides my VCS).

[Tempest]

I just got my hands on a 5200 prototype version of Xevious and it's not too shabby. It just feels a bit off compared to the 7800 version which rocks! Actually between Xevious and Food Fight I don't think I play much else on the 7800.
