Just the two -

2600 Boing!
2600 Krull + documentation

[DracIsBack]

Well - the CGE guys certainly haven't spilled the beans on their 7800 prototypes in terms of screenshots, descriptions, gameplay, ROMs, and other information ...

The existance of these games has been known about by us for over a year and CGE hasn't said anything about the games themselves.

We 7800 fans are dying to know more ... but the parties that have the prototypes aren't sharing.

It was the same way with KLAX. It took something like 9 years before the people that owned the KLAX prototypes let the cat out of the bag.

Just 4 protos here:

2600 Gravitar
2600 Grand Prix
2600 Sky Jinks
SNES Battlecars

I also have some PC games from Microsoft around here somewhere, but I can't remember what I have left or where I put them. PC stuff doesn't count as protos anyways.

Do your US games prototypes contain eproms? Also, is there a label on your apollo proto?

[eric_ruck]

I have a few, the most interesting being a working 1400XL with SALT and Telelink carts from the lab.

The proto I actually enjoy most is Lynx Loopz...I think you can get a repro through Best, this is actually a really good game. I also have a Marlboro Man proto. I have a few 5200 Parker Brothers protos from who knows where and one Atari 800 proto of (I think) Bezerk.

I also have a proto story that could easily start a flame thing so I'll just keep it to myself for now, don't have the energy for it.

Saboteur 9-2 (with companion signed screenshot from HSW)

If you ever want to sell or trade that Saboteur proto let me know. I'm trying to assemble all the known versions for my collection.

[icbrkr]

I own just two, but they're fairly unique:

Cosmic Raiders
Soccer/Dribbling

both for the Astrocade.

[Willard]

I've got a few proto's for completely random systems:

1) Dreamcast
2) CD-I
3) Jaguar, well "a small tour of Towers II" is kind of like a pre-release.
4) Playstation

The jaguar one though, is the the only actual official proto I own, the others are just backups of original protos, but for unreleased games.

[Curt Vendel]

ugggh.... I don't even want to think about how many I've got, its ridiculous... I think though Matt and Marco may have more :-)

[vanadium]

I've got 2 for the Sega MegaCD (Japanese) -- 6 if you count ones I copied before I sold them off.

Original:
Mega Schwarzchild (Strategy/RPG)
Detonator Orgun

Copied:
SonicCD (American w/Japanese Tracks)
Cyborg 009 (Most def. not complete)
Arcus I-II-III
Death Bringer

I used to own several Jaguar protos (the AvP Dan Loosen now owns), and I still have one beta of Atari Karts in ROM format only. And there are differences between it and the released version, after conferring with the man himself JaySmith2000.

[geosteve]

just these 2 are all I have...

"Remnant: planar wars 3D" for the Lynx

"Iron Soldier 3" game for the Nuon-DVD

[Duke 4ever]

I feel left out. I only have the Pink Panther cartridge...







just kidding. But seriously, I only have a lab loaner copy of A-Team

But my proto collection will grow after I get Sabotuer at PC5! w00t! Rareage Gaming!!

[Heavy Sixer]

I too only have one proto, Surf's Up, which I picked up (without realizing what it was) at a used game store in Baton Rouge with a bunch of other titles. The carts were 3 for $10, so I payed about three bucks for it. The photo is the database is my cart. Some of the other posters have already put me to shame with real proto collections, so I'll stick to collecting Combats.

Here's what I have in the "Institute Museum" ::

7800 ProSystem
Asteroids 3-D (eprom prototype early 1984)

Has this been dumped? Did anyone notice that title? I've never seen that it exists. Neat!
