Games That should exist

[Pete Perpetua]

With all these Prorotypes showing up I starting thinking,what games should there be a completer or near completed rom somewhere.

The one I keep thinking of is Wings by CBS.

any others ?

[StanJr]

Somebody is sitting on a Hulk proto, I just know it.

 

Suspicious Stan

[moycon]

Definately Lord of the Rings...I saw this listed in an old cat.... Hu??? What!!!! Really!!??? Holy Sh**!!!! Are you serious!???

 

Ummmm Ok well my vote goes out to...

 

Mr Bills Neihborhood

[Atari-Jess]

huh? mr bills neighbourhood? I have that game, I got a copy of it its not too good though. I got it in this bag of atari games but it didn't have any plastic cover or nothin, a couple of em didn't but at only 3 bucks for a bag of 20 games or so its not that bad. But like I said its a pretty crappy game and isn't any fun like the clay cartoons are and all, man those were funny. but i mean like what are you talkin about? is that some type of joke? cause this sure is! lol. did i git ya?

[moycon]

For like a bila-second maybe.

[Atari-Jess]

heh

[jahfish]

i think there should be a 'netscape 2600' so we can all surf with our consoles ...

 

simon, thomas, chris, steve, ..... and all you other programmers .... get that job done ....

 

you'll have to adapt some button:

 

the browser should be also controlable with the joystick:

 

left > one page back

right > next page

up > new page

down > close window

 

fire + up > bookmark

fire + down > send mail

fire + left > link to ebay.com

fire + right > link to atariage.com

 

on the second port, you would connect a paddle and use it to scroll ....

How about shenmue for Atari 2600.

it'd be real easy to program:-

 

Player controls Ryo who moves from one NPC to another saying (when fire button pressed) "have you seen a black car?"

 

NPC responds "I've been too tired lately, ask someone else"

 

repeat ad nauseum.

hey, its got more variety than 'The Empire Strikes Back'

[Pete Perpetua]

I know I am responding to my own post, but I just thought of 2. Turbo and lady bug. I remember seeing a screenshot for turbo.

[Ze_ro]

Some screenshots for Lady Bug have shown up before... but they're generally believed to be fake. As for Turbo, I'm kinda surprised this one never came out... but since it would have been made by Coleco, it probably would have ended up being a bad conversion. At least we have a good version of Pole Position.

 

All joking aside, I'd love to see Pepper II, B.C.'s Quest For Tires, Pharaoh's Curse (An old C64 game), Archon, Jumpman, Bosconian, Bombjack, 1942, Robotron 2084, and Solomon's Key. I think they could all be done... it would just take a good programmer to do games like Robotron.

 

And of course, everyone's going to say Super Mario Bros....

along the lines of a Wings game, I wonder if a conversion of a game like Looping is possible? Others I want to see include Bubbles, Circus Charlie, the arcade version of the Journey game ,Qix, and of course, Mappy (please correct me if any of these do exist...)

[Snider-man]

 

"Kickman. Definately Kickman.

[liquid_sky]

Galaga or Rally-x

[NE146]

Has everyone forgot about Zookeeper?

 

Everyone says that one supposedly exists...

[Alex]

First off, here are the protos that we know exist, but we don't have dumps of yet:

 

AD&D: Tower of Mystery

AD&D: Treasure of Tarmin

Anteater

Crack'ed

Funky Fish

Good Luck, Charlie Brown

In Search of the Golden Skull

Loco-Motion

Pink Panther

Pleiades

Rocky and Bullwinkle

Snow White

 

That's quite a list in itself. Now, CGE has stated that they'll be releasing three protos next August. Anyone know what they'll be? Will they be from this list, or something else from the rumor pages?

[Pete Perpetua]

I think that Looping and Cabbage Patch Kids also exist.

[mvigor]

I think that 2600 QIX should exist. I say it could be done pretty easily, so why wasn't it?

[Scott Stilphen]

Looping and Cabbage Patch *do* exist - the programmer confirmed it

 

Others that are very likely out there:

 

Ballblazer (partial)

Adventures of Max

Impossible Game

Planet of the Apes

SQ Airworld (partial)

Wings

[ATARIPITBULL]

PLEASE SOME ONE MAKE THE INCREDIBLE HULK!!!!!!!!, To be the Hulk and go around smashing cars and buildings would be fun, plus the box is already made, so now we just need the game.

He confirmed that they existed at one time, or does he have them now? If so, where are the screenshots?

[Scott Stilphen]

Ed English's Individeo partner, Ed Temple, programmed (and completed) Looping and CPK. See 2600 Connection ish #36 for more details.

[Alex]

I don't have that isssue - can you provide any more details? Did they mention if they still had the game? Does anyone have a copy of this toady? Have they been dumped?

[Pete Perpetua]

I read that interview, I can't beleive he is worried about Coleco after all these years if he would release the rom.

[Nateo]

I think telegames owns the rights to Coleco's stuff now, I saw it in an article on a website once.

Side note (okay, not really) - my friends still think Atari turned into Sega. What a bunch of dumb jocks.

[Ze_ro]

As far as I know, Coleco is completely out of business as of the late 80's! Who owns the rights to all of Coleco's old stuff now?
