pintopower Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I have a cartridge labelled (badly) "Bonnie and Clyde". After a search, all I can find is this thread: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/97679-any-love-for-bank-heist/ So the cart came with the console when I t was picked up reconditioned at Atari in the mid to early 1980's at their Sunnyvale office according to my father in law who bought it. I have been relabeling all of the carts that I have since the labels look awful and considering I had to clean them all when I got them so the hole in the middle annoys me. Anyway, I was hoping someone knew more of this or knew what the art looked like. Oh and it is also missing its little door. I know it is a game called "Bank Heist" but that isn't what Atari labeled it. Anyway, I would love to hear more. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Looks like "Bonnie and Clyde" was one of the original titles for Bank Heist... http://atariage.com/forums/topic/252860-cops-n-robbers-bank-heist-prototype-found/?p=3516547 This was a 20th Century Fox game, by the way, so not one actually made by Atari. Here's where you can see the Bank Heist art, if you're interested: http://atariage.com/software_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=1008 It's certainly possible you may have a prototype of the game. If you're ever able to compare the game play to a real Bank Heist cart, I know there's people on here that would be interested if you see any differences between your game and the one that was released.

pintopower Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thank you for the info sdamon. I will have to play it and see. My friend has Bank Heist so I will borrow that from him. I'm excited to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 What sdamon said. It looks like you might have a pre-release version. Then again, it could just be a copy someone at Atari made for their own use. Can you try and crack it open and see if the EPROMs have anything written on them?

Atari employees would have used a standard shell, not a U.S. Games shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 That's true. I wonder if it plays differently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried about messing up the label on this one but I can see if I can get a glimpse. Nah, it is a legit proto. Atari employees would have used a standard shell, not a U.S. Games shell. Oh...really? I need to ask where exactly at Atari and when my father-in-law bought it. That's true. I wonder if it plays differently? I will try it and compare.

+Psionic Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Nah, it is a legit proto. Atari employees would have used a standard shell, not a U.S. Games shell. Looks like a standard Fox/Sirius shell to me, or is that what you meant? Should be legit either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow still had the fake Eli's thread on my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintopower Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have been playing it but I can't seem to see a difference with the actual cart but maybe there is something I don't notice. I will screen grab it and post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were using the B&C name right up until they were going to release it so it probably is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
