I notice that the prototype section is geared predominantly on gaming systems and particularly games of US (NTSC) origin

So it begs the question....what ever happened to any of the rares, unreleased or proto's computer games put out by the numerous UK/european games publishers/houses in the 80's to ealy 90's...or am i to guess/assume they don't exist

the only one's i am aware of (but have never seen) are the sinclair ql version of finespeed/imagine's 'megagame' ''bandersnatch'' (which became brattacus on the 16 bit computers)

Just looked on the atari proto's site (link given in the above sie link) i guess that the cart version of Up and Down (a8) is rare but the tape version i am sure isn't, as I had one (US Gold/licensed from sega)

Also the trio of games mention in a later section of the above link for the A8 i think were released (tagalon, and last guardian, the later having 2 releases, one in UK the other in europe and lastly Hunchback by ocean. apparently the A8 version was coded in Basic)
