Some Moron Pretending to Have a Creepshow 2600 Prototype

[Stan]

Wow guys, thanks for the info. Keep in mind the Creepshow video there is actually NOT his, to my knowledge, unless you meant one of his "expo" videos on his page.

[Stan]

I probably wouldn't suggest engagement with this guy. Looks like he's fixated on two old movies, and they're not exactly Disney flicks.

 

Kind of creepy...

He's actually interested in a few other films and is planning on having "expos" for each of them, including the 80s The Thing, Friday the 13th, etc.

Only displayed in multi color instead of single color (which was an option in Pinball Construction Set).

 

NTSC PCS Creepshow has artifacting and looks exactly like the screenshot posted with 'color'

give us the name of this charlatan, that we may point and laugh derisively.

Joe Hart, he actually, no joke, has family connections to the Hart family of wrestling fame.

artifacting and colors looks apple 2, could be a board hack of an ol a2 pin, or a2 pin construction or just a bad mock up pic. either way, insulting!

[Necron99]

I like how the "gameplay video" displays his user name at the death scene.....LOL

[Master Phruby]

I remember playing Creepshow pinball on my 400. It was a fun game. I can't remember if it was originally a game created with Pinball Construction Set or sold separately.

Just used that info and found this, bet this is it, it's for a8bit pcs.

I told you guys he's freaking serious. Here's his exchange with Olaf. WTF....

"Custard's Revenge".

 

Well, there's always room for Jell-O.

I thought I was the only one with Creepshow for the Atari 2600. I have had this prototype for several years and it was found in Germany. I will post a picture of the cartridge as soon as I make one.

 

Upson Pratt is a cruel, ruthless businessman whose mysophobia has him living in a hermetically sealed apartment controlled completely with electric locks and surveillance cameras. During a particularly severe lightning storm he finds himself looking out over the steel canyons of New York City as a rolling blackout travels his way. When it hits his apartment tower, the terror begins for Mr. Pratt, and the fun begins for the gamer. The ruthless tycoon now finds himself helpless when his flat becomes overrun by countless hordes of aggressive multi-sized cockroaches. ***WIP game for the Atari 2600***

 

Get ready for it....

 

and STOMP!!! Ohhh, Squishy.

 

Different color roaches have different speeds and attack patterns.

 

 

 

 

 

[Stan]

Uh oh, hopefully that clown doesn't find this, he'll steal your images.

Since this is so utterly ridiculous, I seriously doubt that this is not an (attempted) joke.

[Rom Hunter]

Must be.

 

[+Psionic]

Does anyone remember the name of that website that will anonymously mail someone a box of horseshit?

[Godzilla]

why can't it be bull shit?

Actually, that might be awesome. Please make this into an actual game.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Reminds me of Waynes World... "Fished In!!!!!!"

It's not, seriously. Please see above where I show a Facebook screencap of his "conversation" with Olaf.

 

[moycon]

I did see it. Maybe you're right. He's posting a bogus cart and video game gameplay clips of a game that doesn't exists and then at the next horror expo he's going to try and sell Atari 2600 carts at his table. Although he's mentioned nothing about selling these anywhere I can see, and anything he's shown would be impossible on the 2600. And as far as I can tell hasn't brought it back up since it's initial posting. (He did post a PS3 version of Creepshow though)

 

It's also possible he thinks you guys hitting him up about it is funny and he's egging you guys on. Probably has a horror forum where he's posting your PM conversation threads, but instead of being upset, they are laughing. I could see that scenario being possible just as well as the first one. It too obvious that what he's posting isn't real to anyone who would be interested in buying an Atari 2600 cart.

First part, perhaps, second part, no. Some of the people that asked me about his fake cart initially know the guy, he's basically clueless and completely out of touch.

Am totally creeped out reading this thread. :sick:
