78001987 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Oh by god yes, release that bad boy. Is it pal? Is it playable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Looks awesome! Hopefully it's finished or near it and that it gets dumped/converted if PAL so that we may see a high quality AA style release of it someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I sure hope this isn't a fake. It could be, but I hope not. The picture of the actual proto is suspiciously blurry though... If it's real, I wonder if it supports the high score cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78001987 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 So is it really a proto, or just a hack/homebrew of the Centipede source code? I seem to remember a similar story happening here before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8th lutz Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) So is it really a proto, or just a hack/homebrew of the Centipede source code? I seem to remember a similar story happening here before. There was fake prototype before for April Fool's Day. I think it was in 2009 that a new poster claimed prototype of Jr. Pac-man was found, but that new poster actually was what we call a 2nd account for setting up an April Fool's Day prank ahead of time The fake Jr. Pac-man prototype actually was an early stage homebrew that different members of this community that involved in that April's Day prank including Albert.

+TrekMD Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'd love to see this released. Millipede is one of my favorite games! I'd love to see have a 7800 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 1982? Didn't the 7800 come out in 1984? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled_Pink Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 1982? Didn't the 7800 come out in 1984? Yeah. That's the first thing I noticed. It could be the copyright notice for Atari Inc, who created Millipede in '82 and who would have started developing the 7800. Just looks to me that the game development was started pre-Tramiel but then dropped or forgotten about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
