+Propane13 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Yo Vinnie-- What's the scoop on Road Riot AWD? I see that the video was taken down from the post, but if there is new info, it's certainly intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that the video was taken down from the post, but if there is new info, it's certainly intriguing. I am not Vinnie, but it is speculation right now. He found this information on Lance Blog. Lance of Video 61 has been cleaning out his warehouse has discovered that he has Atari 7800 EMPROMS that he didn't know that he had according to his blog. One of EPROMS has a handwritten label that looks to say “Riot”. This is an EPROM and not a RIOT chip for the Atari 2600 according Lance. That EMPROM label has a date of 7-20-93 and has the number 2 circled like in the game needs 2 chips in order to test the game. https://forums.atari.io/blogs/entry/536-i-may-have-found-road-riot-4wd-for-atari-7800-along-with-more-interesting-atari-7800-eproms/ I do know there is supposed a update 7800 EMPROM findings tomorrow from Lance.
