Rom Hunter Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 i actually missed playing turbo So you're assuming the proto is playable? = Yep:http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...ERSION_ID=19093 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It looks like a combination of Night Driver and Enduro, from the looks of the video. Can't wait to see the cart release. It's playable, but is it complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxsolo2000 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 So will it see the light of day this year? A sign of being famous when qoutes a year old are recycled Seriously though! Any news??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I had the chance to test the game and it isn't fun to play at all. I rather would like Anteater to be released. That one played really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I had the chance to test the game and it isn't fun to play at all. I think that's a bit harsh. In it's current state the game is rather hard and not the best game out there, but it's still got some fun in it. However I think when the game is FINALLY released people are going to be in for a bit of a let down unless someone fixes it up a bit first.

Tempest Well here is hoping the programing to fix it up still does happen. None the less this thing is gonna sell like mad just do to hype.

Albert Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I've (uhrr, finally) added Turbo to the database here and Matt has put up a quite thorough review of the game on AtariProtos.com. Here are the links: http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...areLabelID=2788 http://atariprotos.com/2600/software/turbo/turbo.htm We'll be able to reveal additional information about a reproduction run of the game soon.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Bill me when it comes out, guys. This is one I'll buy without ever having played it first. It's really cool that you folks have put together a 2600 version of Turbo, and that goes for all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Any chance that the released repro version will have some of the problems fixed like the non moving roads or is it going to be as is? Wp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Cant wait for this long lost game to finally come out, even if the game play is sub-par. I will be sure to buy a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Sweet! I've been following this for a while and am excited to see it released. I'm assuming that the release will be more completed/finished, right? And also, was the Activision game Enduro based on this Sega arcade game? They seem to share some common elements...

Foxsolo2000 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 At last a review of the legend in question. Great work Tempest, truly enjoyed reading about it. Just wish Tempest had access to other locked away prototypes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Just wish Tempest had access to other locked away prototypes Sorry, this is the only review I've been sitting on. I don't have any other secret prototype reviews. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Sorry, this is the only review I've been sitting on. I don't have any other secret prototype reviews. Words-Attack would be a nice addition. Although playable, it's incomplete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words-Attack would be a nice addition. Although playable, it's incomplete. Yeah I've been avoiding that one because I'm not sure what to make of it. I has a full production label and appears to have been released, but like everyone says, it plays like a prototype game. Until we figure out the origins of this one I'm more than happy to let it lie for now. I do have some 8-bit and 7800 titles to get to still. Nothing special (all final versions with roms out there), but still I need to get to them. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Sorry, this is the only review I've been sitting on. I don't have any other secret prototype reviews.

Until we figure out the origins of this one I'm more than happy to let it lie for now. Well, Thomas found Home Vision data in it and Nukey found out that the game is unfinished, because it still has over 1K of free space left that could have been used for a valid 'word pool'. Without that word pool, the game makes absolutely no sense to play. Besides that, only one cart has ever been found during the past 25 years. IMO a proto with a nice label that should be added to your site. Anyway, back to Turbo: Will the original, unaltered ROM be released as well?
