Has anyone scrutinized the 2600 list that Curt posted yet? I'm talking about the CX list from the 86' to 90' 2600 sales thread. There are a few titles I don't recognize:

CX26141 Motorcycle
CX26165 Jinks
CX26184 White Water Madness

KX7115 Kid's Carousel Prepack (Wickey notices this one), is this a combo pack like the Back to School Pak or Racing Pak?


I'm not intimately familiar with these serial numbers, so their might be a few more games in the list too. When I saw Motorcycle I was sort of thinking of Wonder's racing game. White Water Madness for some reason stuck in my head as Save Mary. I think it's the artwork for Save Mary.


Any idea on these Tempest? Did they get released under a different name?

Save Mary is CX26178, White Water Madness was a different game. I believe Motorcycle was the early name for Motor Psycho.

Motor Psycho and Jinks were both released for the 7800, White Water Madness was also planned for the 7800.

I have no idea about the Kid's Carousel Prepack, most likely a combo pack of some kind as suspected.

So Atari must have been planning on releasing these games on the 2600 too. Since they were on the CX26 list then maybe they actually started some programming on these, who's to say? Everything else seems to have been released off that list, but I didn't bore it down into the ground looking at the international and pal versions, etc...

Sounds like some sort of kids game pack. Like maybe the all the CCW games together?

What the hell are you talking about? Do you even look before you post anymore?

Tempest

I seem to remember a game called Jinks on the A8....I am not too sure if we are talking about the same game though (rainbow arts)

looks similar to the A8 game 'exploding wall' but less bricks to knock down and a larger scrolling area

These are also mentioned in Kevin Horton's Bankswitching document (minus the Kid's Carousel Prepack)

Motor Psycho			   CX26141	 NR  ??   \
Jinks					  CX26165	 NR  ??\
White Water Madness		CX26184	 UR  ??\

Strange, Motorcycle is listed as Motor Psycho.

What's even stranger is that the pre-release name of Motor Psycho was Super Stunt Cycle. I assume Motorcycle was just a 'nickname' they used on the sheet.
