user42 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) I am currently wondering about prototypes for Atari 2600 games that were released but have interesting prototypes. Alot of protos are just stripped down, work in progress, versions for the final product....not alot of fun to play. But there are some that are almost completely different games and quite fun on thier own or some that are interesting for other reasons. Understand that I am not interested in protos of unreleased games, just the often overlooked protos of released games. Here is what I have so far. Freeway = "Bloody Human Freeway" - Just plain awesome Video Chess = "Computer Chess" - Different version that show chess notation on screen RealSports Football = "Red Vs. Blue" - Cool tech demo (22 objects moving at once) I know I could go thru every listing on http://www.atariprotos.com/ and find out for myself but I am feeling lazy so help me out....Are there any other protos from the released games that are worth playing?

Excalibur, Labyrinth and Meteoroids perhaps? Never really played them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
