available 'vaporware'?

[GratedTopping]

I don't recall ever seeing this site before:

 

http://fabrice.montupet.pagesperso-orange.fr/ti99carts/vaporware.htm

 

It was apparently last updated a more than a decade ago.

 

I'm mostly interested in the last entry: Romox - Nature's Way. Has anybody seen the gameplay and what it's like? Any knowledge about any other games missing? What would you have liked to have seen released (for example, "Galaxian")?

With one of the cartridge bards, anything is possible. I can burn EPROMs for what you mentioned.

Quite a few of those cartridges have been found (at least as prototypes) in the years since Bryan wrote that Vaporware page. He has several of the cartridges, I have several others, and a few more are in other hands. Galaxian isn't one I've seen though. Nature's Way is out there, as are Fantasy, Lasso, Crossfire, Angler Dangler, Milliken P/L, Three of the four Linguaphone Cartridges (Key to Spanish), Tutankham, Disk Manager 3, and Terminal Emulator 1200. I probably missed a few too--but as time goes on, much that was thought to be lost has been found.

I think I have the EPROM file for Galaxian - I'll have to check.

Galaxian is one I would love to have..

Galaxian would definitely be cool to have. I would also love to find Choplifter! and David's Midnight Magic, although I think MicroPinball is very similar to the latter. I am curious about Battlestar Galactica.

 

Makes me cringe to think that some of these prototypes and missing carts might have ended up in a landfill.

If Galaxia and Galaxian are the same, I have it in EPROM form.

If Galaxia and Galaxian are the same, I have it in EPROM form.

 

It looks like Galaxia is actually its own game, but very similar. I am interested to see how it was converted to the TI.
