CincYnoTi Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Well, not exactly, but the guy mentions he found this title in a box of prototypes. Someone in another thread here mentioned he was connected with Telesys. Here is the listing where the 2600 proto is mentioned: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260145333593 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I asked him if he was own of the owners or programmers for Telesys. Here is his response. Sean, I didn't do any of the programming, just part of the management team. When the market went away we did a little C64 stuff before jumping to the Amiga. After the 2600 we moved to harware rather than software. I don't know what else I may turn up since it didn't occur to me these would become collectors items. lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Awesome! I hope the roms for these games get released. Does anyone know the guy who won the 8-bit Fast Food cart is? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedEye Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 This is pretty exciting news! I hope at least one of you guys is keeping in contact with him, at least to make sure that Bouncing Baby Bunnies isn't sold privately to a mystery person and never heard from again.

+davidcalgary29 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Again, how do we know that the 800 cart isn't a mock-up? That casing sure looks like a 2600 cart. No screenshots, no internal cart pics...hmm. It will be awesome if this turns out to be legit, and here's hoping that the buyer got a great deal.

+Wonder007 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I CANNOT believe I missed this one ........oh well.....maybe next time!!! Since when do you collect Atari 8bit carts? You know, I misread the auction....I thought it was an Atari 2600 proto....false alarm. Now when that bouncing baby game comes out, I will be all over that one.

plaidbrad3141 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I missed this thread until today. I emailed him to ask if he had any extra Fast Food shirts not in the current auction he'd be willing to sell. He responded that he had two extra but didn't say he would sell them or not. I asked what he would take for one and here was his response on Aug 4th: "Yes, Fast Food was the biggest seller. We were about to release a puzzle type game that you would have td decode the patterns to actually complete. 1st person to complete was to win a cash prize. Popularity of the 2600 was declining like a rock so it was shelved. Wish I had kept a protype. I have one other shirt not currently on auction and is what I would call a small large." No response after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender II Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Again, how do we know that the 800 cart isn't a mock-up? That casing sure looks like a 2600 cart.

Note: the cart is upside down for insertioin purposes, right-side up to read the lable. The cart end as pictured, actually has the distinctive two notches of many other Atari 8-bit carts. It may be an empty shell for a mock-up, but the case seems, right just a distorted picture. Anyone know "jamestheorangecat" who won the cart?

No response after that. Sounds like he was describing The Impossible Game. Too bad he doesnt have a prototype of it. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
