Somehow I don't remember reading this before: apparently Las Vegas Craps was completed, but never released. Has anything of the game ever surfaced -- screenshots, advertisements, reminiscences? I can't imagine it's a tragic loss, but...

Huh. Somehow I've never seen this before either. Like you said, maybe not the best seller....

I don't think it would of been a good seller. It would of been better to just include it inter the other las vegas games.

Damnit, beat me to something like that in advance. I applaud you.

Vegas, the only place on Earth you can get both Craps AND Crabs!

Of course, one might argue that LVC would've been redundant, since Las Vegas Roulette already is crap(s) on a cart. There aren't too many Mattel releases that I'm less interested in playing. LVR would've actually made a little more sense as a 2-in-1 roulette/craps game, but then I suppose you get into overlay issues.

I guess I'm a bit odd, but I actually think I would enjoy craps on the Inty.

It's my favorite casino game, so I'd like to see what they could do with it on Inty.

I believe the game was planned and it said in catalogs that it was coming up, but it was never released. I don't think any work was ever started on it.

Huh, that's almost exactly the opposite of what the Blue Sky Rangers page (linked above) says, i.e. that it was never announced, but was finished and paid for. Do you have any catalog scans that mention it?

[IntellivisionGuy97]

Oh, maybe I was wrong. It says in the Intellivision Library that APh completed it, but it says it was never announced or scheduled for release by marketing... I'll have to see if I can find a rom...
