Shawn Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Guess the title is now known. Wonder if this one for auction is more complete that the dump find NTSC one from years back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Guess the title is now known. Wonder if this one for auction is more complete that the dump find NTSC one from years back? Yeah, especially since the MM could be HH on the NTSC proto. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Yeah, especially since the MM could be HH on the NTSC proto. Interesting. That would make sense. If nothing else comes of this at least the game now has a proper title. Would be neat to ask the activision guys about it now that the game can be mentioned by name. EDIT: After a closer look at the old NTSC one it's clear that it's not MM but HH as you suggest. It's the same style handwriting looping the line in the middle of the H attaching from the top right of the letter to the middle of the left of it, very distinctively as well. I'd go as far as to suggest that both labels where written by the same person. Edited May 18, 2017 by Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spriggy Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The top half of the number '3' also has the same style. Top leg is flat with a slight upward curl on the middle short leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well what do you know. Finally, we have a tittle! I'd say the PAL version in that auction is a later version since it has a giant alien guy at the top of the screen that the NTSC version is missing. Just a guess on my part though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhd Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 aaaand here is the infomercial: https://m.youtube.com/watch?lc=z12vilt5ttftxvnia04cixiy0xb4x3oze5o&v=YoQIEEoKgFM Some gameplay footage or even a screenshot would have enhanced that video dramatically. Does the recently discovered name match anything announced by Activision BITD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well what do you know. Finally, we have a tittle! I'd say the PAL version in that auction is a later version since it has a giant alien guy at the top of the screen that the NTSC version is missing. Just a guess on my part though. Any new code could be implemented into the old NTSC version which would be cool. That or just fix the scanline count if it's not something game breaking.

Tempest Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I've updated my page to reflect the new information 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 This is incredible. Great news. Even if all we gain here is the final discovery of the name of the game, then it's still of great benefit. Would be even better if it's further along and/or if someone we know wins it. Always found it odd that Activision couldn't identify it though.

My hope is that a proper title might be able to jog some memories in those that had previously forgot about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Welcome to Atariage! If possible, it would be cool to see a gameplay video. Also, where did you find this/how did you get it? Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
