Crimefighter Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Though Tempest previously said he didn't have the Toki rom...hope someone provided it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hmm...I should have bought that 7800 Sky Fox when I had the chance...regrets we live with. (I'm only kidding of course!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a one screen demo. Not really all that interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Your site is very fascinating, and have you considered including Lynx and ST prototypes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 I thought about it at one point, but I don't have the time. Someone else should really do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Interesting theory. But much like the Razzmatazz theory the game play isn't really the same since these are all 'shoot the target to keep it from going off screen' type of games. I'm thinking this is an original concept rather than an arcade game. If it IS an arcade game then it's most likely something from Sega or even Sega/Gremlin. For the record, the "bear game" is a confirmed Sega prototype and the programmer confirmed that it was (loosely) based on the unreleased Razzmatazz coin-op. I know I've posted about this at least once before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psionic Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Do you know the programmer's name at all? Fred Mack was the designer and programmer of that prototype, which was never finished. While at Sega, he also coded the A8 version of Ixion, which was (mostly) completed. He also developed a tool called the "Sega Key" and various other tricks which were used by other programmers in the games they were working on.

Tempest Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks, I'll update my page. I need to review that Ixion proto for the 8-bit (did the 2600 one a while back). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks, I'll update my page. I need to review that Ixion proto for the 8-bit (did the 2600 one a while back). I know there's a U.S. Gold version from Europe floating around, but has an actual Sega prototype been found? The programmer does have copies of his work, and I've been trying to convince him to release them. By the way, the bear game was worked on some time in 1983 (you currently have the year as "unknown"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Ah, thanks for the year. I have no idea if the original Ixion proto has been found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Just updated my page with reviews for three Final Legacy protos, Rockball, and Crazy Maze Chase. I'm still looking for a guest reviewer to help with Star Raiders II since I know I'll never get around to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter83 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 If it's a8 I'll be interested in helping if I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Feel free to start writing something up. The rom is available. I'm not sure how complete the game is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter83 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I have also legecy 5.3 which was re unwed off youtube. Could pull that up and start a review on it. Plus I have pictures of the cart to send over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedEye Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Feel free to start writing something up. The rom is available. I'm not sure how complete the game is though. It's not 100% but most of the features are there, the way Aric described it it seems like mostly what's missing is balancing. He's around and happy to talk about it: http://www.wilmunder.com/Arics_World/Games.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
