I am from NA and don't know too much about Atari but I just found this at my local Goodwill and couldn't find much on Google except 1 cart that has a similar label. Is it a prototype or something of that nature?

Thanks

Yes, it is a prototype.

Proto or Promo....

[CPUWIZ]

Probably a promo, if it isn't, I'd love to see the circuit board. As it should have bankswitching logic, an EPROM and a standalone DPC, which I have never seen.

How much does it weigh?

61 grams and it appears to be missing a piece beside the connector so that should be a gram or two.

5 or 6 grams more than the handful of other carts I have here.

Bummer, just pulled a production cart and it weighs 63 grams. Shoot Wonder007 a PM, to see if he owns this yet or not.

Yeah, and tell him you are putting it up for a 5 day auction in the marketplace forum

Oh well still an interesting item for my collection. Thanks for the information.

Outch. LOL

[Srimok]

Just for fun did you have any idea it's approximate value? like $25-$50?

My guess would be more like ~$100. If you are willing to sell it for that little (like $25-$50?), I'd buy it and crack it open.

Thanks for the honest answer. I never really had any intention to sell it unless it was worth an insane amount of money.

Is there anyway to open a cart without destroying it or needing special tools?

[screamin1]

I think CPUWIZ is pretty dead on for the value. I would give you $100 for it. I have a few other Activision protos that it would look good next to.

Funny...... And then extend it one more day after the supposed ending.

[Srimok]

I played it a little more today and seems to be pretty true to the final as far as I can tell from Youtube videos but I did notice one thing. Probably just a glitch or something stupid but what the heck is this?

Seems like a garbled up Ronda.

Seems like a garbled up Rhonda or Quickclaw, though there's no rock on the left.

Strange.

What happens if you walk into it?

[Srimok]

It is intermittently there so nothing happens if you walk through it. Just thought it was strange I couldn't find it in anyone else's game footage. I guess I am over analyzing things lol.

[Megaman Legends]

Try the wikipedia page for Activision unreleased. By the way all the activision protos I've seen were pink carts like this one

[nofrills100]

Haha!
