I gotta ask, how is this different from other unreleased proto that eventually saw the light of day...and why are people worried about it today? IMO it's not any different than any other unauthorized 2600 binary (i.e. most of them) sitting on the hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) Well, the only difference is that the Blue Sky Ranger nerds are still sitting on their M Network proto's like some buddhistic monks, which makes it a little bit more 'whooooh' when one of these proto's is popping up for the crowd.

Omegamatrix Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Well, I am for one glad when any new proto is released. It sort of gives a game life after death once it's rom is spread on the net. If I was a programmer of one of these forgotten games I'd be happy that other people could be enjoying it at all especially if the alternative was sitting on a shelf and living a silent death. Not everyone will agree with me on this, but that's my point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely! I for one would pay to have a cd with all the 2600 proto's and unreleased games that they have locked up like fort knox. http://www.intellivisionlives.com/bluesky/...ts/atari3.shtml As I remember Sword Fight and Sea Battle (High Seas) sold pretty well a few years back. You would think that it showed there was demand enough to do others or a rom release on cd. My guess is even after were all dead ,their ancestors will still be securely guarding these roms as if they held the secrets to the origins of the universe. JL P.S. As for the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS protos on their 2600 page, all they have to do is rename them minitor or something, like they did on their great Intellivision Lives collections. Hey, you Blue Sky hoarders out there, Why not an M-Network Lives collection? Seriously, Why Not???? Edited April 8, 2007 by JL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 So those Blue Sky Dudes have ALL those proto's? Wow, they could make a fortune off them and make alot of happy gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) Part of their hesitance may be due to Anteater and Rocky & Bullwinkle being properties originally licensed from other companies (although I don't know if Tago exists anymore, but Rocky & Bullwinkle is still an active property). That said, I'd love to see officially sanctioned releases of these games. Given that the total number of copies sold probably wouldn't exceed 200 each, I can't imaging anyone getting their undies in a bunch over it.
