(proto's my ass ) Ok, explain the Airlock WIP and how this was found exactly like the other Survival Run proto (in a lot of 'pirates' with the same exact PCB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Aside from the possible bit-rot, it could have been copied when the S.R. binary was copied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unlikely that it is bit rot, I have 3 copies that all have the same ROM You think the original Survival Run isn't a prototype either then?

No, I don't, I doubt it ever made into a Data Age style "review" cart. Sure, it's un-released, but so are a ton of games on multi-carts and multi-game units out there.

the.golden.ax Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Just a thought, and I'm surprised no one has offered this one up yet... how common was the equipment in the early 80's to make pirates? Would people who WORKED for a game publisher be prime suspects for making these kinds of things? AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Would people who WORKED for a game publisher be prime suspects for making these kinds of things? Yes, and that's exactly where these came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would people who WORKED for a game publisher be prime suspects for making these kinds of things? AX Yes but to accept these as anything aside from pirated chips that would be saying if Wiz was to copy a game that his pirated copy is more valid cause he works for a gaming company but not necessarily (and in most cases not) the company that programmed whatever game that is in question VS someone outside of the gaming industry pirating the same game at the same time. To be a legit prototype you gotta have alot more than a scribble on a sticker from the 80's covering an eprom window potentially but by no means verified to be burned by an employee of a gaming company. I don't give a shit if the guy worked for God that made the bootleg, without it being a clearly undumped game under these circumstances they are just another batch of vintage pirates. I'm very sure all the senior prototype enthusiasts will agree (which they already have). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
