gooner73 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 A scan of this was posted here a while ago. Here is transcibed text from the interview http://www.smspower....ue07-StayAWhile i wonder if there is a prototype somewhere? i doubt that us gold exist anymore, but maybe the programmers involved have it knocking around somewhere? Games like this would have made the 7800 far more popular, rather than the standard atari arcade titles ( already done on two of our older consoles!), Gauntlet, r-type,ghosts n goblins,bombjack etc would have made it plausible to a much wider audience.

Shawn Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks like Tony Porter and\or Bob Amour would be the guys to try and track down maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner73 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks like Tony Porter and\or Bob Amour would be the guys to try and track down maybe? wouldn't it be great to get hold of them and they say "oh yeah, it's been hanging around in my attic for years"! i wonder how they could be tracked down?

Ya that would be great. If someone would be intrested in finding them I would assume a google search or facebook would be a good start. AtariAge user Tempest knows alot of sources to track down the old programmers from days gone by so he might have at least a starting point to go off of if you ask him real nice.

Also for a venture to be a success, it needs to be plausible,not palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh3-rg Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think Atari 7B00 is a much better name for the machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800Lover Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Of course, I wonder if it's possible to rig a reasonable fascimile of Gauntlet by hacking Dark Chambers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H311bender Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just played the arcade version of Gauntlet on the PS2. I forgot how fun this game was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner73 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 still waiting for a reply, managed to track bob down through a programming forum , had to join it and hope that he is still there and gets my message or does not just dismiss it as spam or a nutter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
