7 20th Century Fox Proto's and a few Demo Only Carts

[Atari_Don]

Hey guys, even though I don't post I still keep my eyes open for Atari related goodies. I met a past employee of 20th Century Fox. He was a Salesman back in the 80's and he sold me this lot of games he had from back in the day.

 

I tested each one, they all work. Looks like Bonnie and Clyde/ Hold Up...became Bank Heist.

 

He also threw in a few Demo Only Carts, Not sure of these as I haven't seen that stamp before.

 

The games are;

 

Deadly Duck (2) DEMO NOT FOR SALE

Fast Eddie (1) DEMO NOT FOR SALE

WORM WAR I (1) DEMO NOT FOR SALE

 

Fantastic Voyage Proto

MASH Proto

Mega Force Proto

Crypts of Choas Proto

Turmoil Proto

Alien Proto

 

Bonnie and Clyde / Hold Up aka Bank Heist

 

Plus a Cassette of 4 Minutes of advertising commercials, 60 seconds each of Worm War I, Fast Eddie, Deadly Duck and Beany Bopper

 

I would be interested in letting them go as one lot or depending on the offer..may sell individually.

 

Shoot me a message if you're interested. Thanks Don

Tempest? I don't think there's a page on any of these proto titles - anything new here or different from the final versions here?

Sorry been busy.

 

Probably the final versions, but someone will have to dump them to be sure.

Hey Tempest, if there is anyone in the Nashville area who could dump them I would be more than happy to let them.

 

The guy I got them from said the white label games were used to get the retail chains opinion on whether they felt they could sell them. He would take the feedback back to corporate and in some cases he said they made changes and released the games to be sold. He actually told me he thought Hold Up was never released and thought it could be a one of a kind which I know is Bank Heist.

 

The DEMO ONLY games were given to him as demo's to be used to obtain orders on released games.

 

I didn't ask many questions, so I am not sure if these are the finals or not. I don't want to mislead anyone.

Everything in these pics are sold. I am sure the new owner will look at each proto to examine them to see if they are wip or final versions as I don't really have a clue as to how to do that. Thanks guys, I will keep my eyes peeled for more goodies.

Thanks for sharing, Atari Don.

 

Let's hope some of the ROMs are different from the final releases.

 

Also, it would be great to have digital audio files of these four commercials.

Given the story behind them (demos sent out to stores to gauge interest) I doubt they're any different than the final versions. Then again, you never know. Here's to hope!

Whoops, guess I should look at the date stamps.
