Chris Leach Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 so the zoo keeper is basically millipede? Where are the brick laying tactics and the sweet sounds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wccw mark Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 If Zookeeper would have come out on the Atari 2600, what company would have done the release??? I will let you know why I am asking later. Could there be a homebrew in the works????? I loved Zookeeper back in the arcade days! me too.would love a homebrew of zookeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergun Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Could there be a homebrew in the works????? I loved Zookeeper back in the arcade days! me too.would love a homebrew of zookeeper. Not me. Personally, I don't care much for a homebrew of Zookepper. What I would like is a production run of a REAL Zookeeper proto. (assuming it exists, assuming it has been found, and assuming that it is what this thread is about) That's a lot of assumptions, I know, hence why I am not as excited about this as others I suppose. I wouldn't mind if it was like the 2600 Turbo project. (a not quite complete & buggy proto gets polished) But a "built from scratch" homebrew...heh...does not excite me too much. As an example, I am still on the fence with that 2600 Lady Bug homebrew from a few years back. Excellent game, no doubt, but something about it just feels...odd...not the game itself mind you, but mostly the "packaging". A Coleco shell with the proper time period label, artwork, & format would have done wonders for it. No offense to whomever won the label contest on that one, but it SUCKS. In fact, while on that subject, I generally despise any and all "out of proper format" artwork for cartridge labels. Just my opinion of course, and I am sure others will disagree, but that's how I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I release unreleased games, I like to keep it consistent with the way the game would have probably been released (Racer- Atari release, Bouncing Baby Bunnies- Telesys release, etc....). The game I am trying to acquire is the actual unreleased game, it is not a homebrew....trust me.....

Inky Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 If this is indeed the Zookeeper proto that you've found, I'd be interested in how you managed to track it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 it amazes me that 30 years later these things are still showing up...pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubular Gearhead Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 If a proto has been found, and it ever makes it to cartridge form, sign me up for one for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 it amazes me that 30 years later these things are still showing up...pretty cool. It is rather astonishing, I agree. But certain 2600 protos have just seemed to "hide" better then others over the years. The Parker Brothers Incredible Hulk & James Bond Octopussy cartridges take the cake! I used to stay up late nights just staring at that 1983 Parker Brothers catalog just wondering what the hell ever happened to them?! But when it comes to Atari themselves, Qix has always intrigued me the most. As well as: Airworld, Food Fight, Galaga, Choplifter, & of course Zookeeper.

Dino Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Airworld is by far the "holy grail" of Atari 2600 roms IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
