+bfstats Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 AJ, some things to consider for your list: Caverns of Mars - Included in Flashback 2. I don't know if there is any connection between this and the Graduate version. Entity - FOUND! Released August of 2003 at CGE. Flap! - Wing War was a "working title" until Imagic finally decided to release it as PAL only. Flap! MAY have been what they had in mind before settling on Wing War. I "heard" this somewhere, but don't have documentation to confirm it, so consider it speculative. Hercules - from the 1983 Xonox CES Press Kit: This is certainly not proof that code was never written for this game. The 8.5x11 "notice" informed dealers that it had been removed from their lineup BEFORE orders were taken. High Seas - Working title for Sea Battle, released August of 2001 at CGE. Kamikaze Saucers - FOUND! Solar Defense - Released fall of 1983 by Imagic as Laser Gates. Quest for the Idol, Space Robot, Spider Kong - from the 1983 Ultravision CES Press Kit: The Spider Kong released by Funvision is actually Fox's Spacemaster X7. The Spider Kong released by Goliath is also known as Pac Kong, possibly the actual game referred to in this Price List. Space Robot is an 83% hack of Atari's Missile Command, and was first released by Dimax, later by Goliath. Quest for the Idol has been the subject of much speculation by Romhunter and I. Some hand-drawn artwork from the Press Kit, and the box art from the HES release of Challenge suggests that the code written for Challenge may be Quest for the Idol's "work in progress". Pure guesswork! Stone Age - Here I must ask a question, AJ. What evidence is there that this was a Technovision title? Romhunter thinks this MAY be Dinograms by Zimag, and this seems logical. CCE released EVERY Zimag title except Spinning Fireball, but released ZERO Technovision titles. If Stone Age WAS by Technovision, and CCE pirated it, you'd think they would have pirated Nuts and/or Pharaoh's Curse and/or Save Our Ship as well. NEED INPUT!

Wickeycolumbus Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Caverns of Mars - I don't know if there is any connection between the Graduate version and the one for the 2600 that is part of the Flashback 2, but here is the 2600 BIN: FB2 ROMs are not supposed to be posted here.

A.J. Franzman Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Caverns of Mars - I don't know if there is any connection between the Graduate version and the one for the 2600 that is part of the Flashback 2According to my files, the FB2 version is a recent homebrew. Entity - FOUND! Released August of 2003 at CGE. Flap! - Wing War was a "working title" until Imagic finally decided to release it as PAL only. Flap! MAY have been what they had in mind before settling on Wing War. I "heard" this somewhere, but don't have documentation to confirm it, so consider it speculative. High Seas - Working title for Sea Battle, released August of 2001 at CGE. Kamikaze Saucers - FOUND! I had these already for my next update (still work in progress). Flap! is indeed the working title of Wing War, according to my Aliases file. Don't know where I picked that info up from, though. Hercules - from the 1983 Xonox CES Press Kit: This is certainly not proof that code was never written for this game. The 8.5x11 "notice" informed dealers that it had been removed from their lineup BEFORE orders were taken. Well, the only change this makes is the game's full title. Solar Defense - Released fall of 1983 by Imagic as Laser Gates.This is a new one to me, thank you. Quest for the Idol, Space Robot, Spider Kong - from the 1983 Ultravision CES Press Kit: The Spider Kong released by Funvision is actually Fox's Spacemaster X7. The Spider Kong released by Goliath is also known as Pac Kong, possibly the actual game referred to in this Price List. Space Robot is an 83% hack of Atari's Missile Command, and was first released by Dimax, later by Goliath. I remember reading about the two different Spider Kongs before but didn't have that info in my Aliases file until now, thank you. Quest for the Idol has been the subject of much speculation by Romhunter and I. Some hand-drawn artwork from the Press Kit, and the box art from the HES release of Challenge suggests that the code written for Challenge may be Quest for the Idol's "work in progress". Pure guesswork!I'll mark that one as a possible alias. Stone Age - Here I must ask a question, AJ. What evidence is there that this was a Technovision title? Romhunter thinks this MAY be Dinograms by Zimag, and this seems logical. CCE released EVERY Zimag title except Spinning Fireball, but released ZERO Technovision titles. If Stone Age WAS by Technovision, and CCE pirated it, you'd think they would have pirated Nuts and/or Pharaoh's Curse and/or Save Our Ship as well. NEED INPUT!That is what was in the original list that I'm updating -- see post #1 of this topic; I have no other info on file, nor personal knowledge about Stone Age.

A.J. Franzman Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Here's a new update. Aside from adding titles from Atariprotos.com, I have also added two new categories to the NOTES column: "FOUND-" for instances in which the most complete binary of a title is not publicly available, but one or more earlier versions is (example: Good Luck, Charlie Brown). And "VAPOR" for titles which are believed never to have had any coding started (example: Attack of the Baby Seals). There are not yet many titles using these annotations, so please let me know which should receive them. Also, I'm fairly sure there are several titles for which a publisher's item number was announced, but it is not yet included here -- please let me know of any I missed from Atariprotos, or any other sources.

mwalden Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Microsurgeon Imagic I believe that the entry above should be changed to the following: Microsurgeon Imagic INTELLIVISION I know this was intended to be made for the Intellivision, and possibly other systems more capable than the 2600. I believe, though have not verified, that it was indeed released for the Intellivision. I do not feel that there ever would be a consideration to implement such a game on the 2600 (especially at the time... Look out for the guy that ported StarCastle ) due to the complexity of the graphics, etc. So, I strongly question the likelihood of there ever having been an announcement for this game to be released on the 2600.

A.J. Franzman Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) I'm almost ready to post another update, but first maybe I can get some more info. Does anyone know what the relationship was between Cumma and 20th Century Fox? Were they just a programming house under contract, like GCC was to Atari? There seems to be some indication that the Entex titles were intended for a computer/keyboard add-on to the VCS, similar to the Spectravideo Compumate or Atari's The Graduate. Is this correct, and if so what was it to be called? Edited August 6, 2010 by A.J. Franzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bfstats Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 AJ, I have not been able to find the press release I thought I read years ago that stated Imagic had acquired a VentureVision title and released it as Laser Gates. The Digital Press Collector's Guide states that game was indeed Inner Space, NOT Solar Defense, so apparently I remembered it wrong, as suspected. Rom, thanks for your input. I stand corrected.

Group, Inc. (= Joseph Sugarman and Associates) (These titles may not be originals, but merely existing titles whose rights J.S. & A. purchased to help sell their unreleased PROM Blaster copier. It's also possible that they never existed at all.) Here for your convenience are the unanswered questions from my previous posts in this topic: Squish 'em would have been released as The Fall Guy by TCFI knew that, but what I don't know, is whether the game was changed at all in order to fit the name change. Is it just an alias, or are we looking for two slightly different games, like Saboteur and The A-Team? Or perhaps games with bigger differences, such as The Last Starfighter and Solaris, Solaris and Radar Lock, or even The Last Starfighter and Radar Lock? Thundarr the Barbarian was a WIP name for Tomarc the BarbarianI knew that, but what's with the "I/II"? Were there really two games in the pipeline, and if so, what happened regarding "II"? Does anyone know what the relationship was between Cumma and 20th Century Fox? Were they just a programming house under contract, like GCC was to Atari? There seems to be some indication that the Entex titles were intended for a computer/keyboard add-on to the VCS, similar to the Spectravideo Compumate or Atari's The Graduate. Is this correct, and if so what was it to be called? Edited August 29, 2010 by A.J. Franzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRV Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know what the relationship was between Cumma and 20th Century Fox? Were they just a programming house under contract, like GCC was to Atari? I doubt it. Cumma Technology Corporation was behind the MetaWriter, another one of those electronic software distribution systems. There seems to be some indication that the Entex titles were intended for a computer/keyboard add-on to the VCS, similar to the Spectravideo Compumate or Atari's The Graduate. Is this correct, and if so what was it to be called? Entex had the Piggyback. Edited August 29, 2010 by CRV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks for the info, CRV. The Piggyback stuff will be in my next update. That AGH page is very informative, but someone needs to look up the word "laud" . The reason I asked about the relationship (if any) between Cumma and 20th Century Fox, is that this list has "Atom Smasher" as by Cumma, while it's reported elsewhere that Atom Smasher was a working title for 20th's Meltdown. So the question now is, is that info correct, and if so, are they the same game? Or were the two uses of the "Atom Smasher" name by two different companies merely coincidental?

So the question now is, is that info correct, and if so, are they the same game? Or were the two uses of the "Atom Smasher" name by two different companies merely coincidental? Per Digital Press: According to programmer Howard Delman, the game was completed at Videa (under the name Atom Smasher), but after deciding not to produce it, sold it to 20th Century Fox. They renamed it Meltdown, but also chose not to release it, and instead sold it to Atari (who- surprise, never released it). Since Videa received $ each time it was sold, this was probably the only unreleased title that actually made $! Uber historian Leonard Herman notes Cumma Technology used Meltdown (under the name Atom Smasher) with their MetaWriter display at the same show!

A.J. Franzman Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Wait a minute... Atom Smasher/Meltdown was last an ATARI title, not 20th Century Fox? And it was really made by Videa... so did Cumma actually have rights to it at some point? Or did they have nothing to do with it, other than "borrowing" it for the 1983 Winter CES?

Nolan Bushnell, Al Alcorn, and Joseph Keenan started Cumma. Pizza Time Theatre, which involved Bushnell and Keenan, bought Videa. I'm leaving out details, but I think you can make the connection.

There was an original game by Atari called Meltdown, don't confuse the two. It was released for the 7800 but it was also planned for the 2600.

SpaceDice2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I would say that to the list one could safely assume that Inner Space is Laser Gates and based on the screen shot that Solar Defense may exist in some form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
