Hello,
I found another one of those circuit board looking things in the bottom of an old dried up septic tank. I don't know much about these things, I cleaned it up a bit (It still reeks tho) and took a pic of it in the hopes someone on the board can give me some info about it:

I was able to plug it into my Atari 2600 and was delighted when it fired right up. I hit reset and started to play. The game play is actually very familiar to me but I don't recall ever seeing this game when I was growing up. I suspect it was modified at some point and may have been released under another title? Any of the Guru's on the boards input would be appreciated. Also about how much is something like this worth? I am in need of an eye-lid transplant but don't have the cash needed to get it done. I am hoping to maybe sell this prototype (If thats what it is) and hopefully I can get the operation with the cash. Oh yeah heres the screen shot:

Does anyone recognize or have any info!!???

Yes, I saw this in an article in the May '83 issue of TV Gamer. This is the unreleased but complete title 3D Deli-oids. You can tell it's authentic as the later protos used rye instead.

As you can see from the higher res graphics, not only does it implement an add-on Pokey sound chip but also the experimental Mayo graphics chip.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to sound so harsh, but when I recognized that prototype (I know all my protos like the back of my hand) I got a little ticked. I've had problems with people leeching prototype images before and they used the images and information for thier own pages (that really ticks me off), so I've gotten a bit touchy about it lately.

No harm done, but please ask next time. You might find that I'm willing to make exceptions for good causes.
