+Living Room Arcade Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 (edited) 56 minutes ago, Gemintronic said: I made a side scrolling game called Sensational Santuci Sisters in hopes of making it an official Great Giana Sisters for the 2600. A friend got me in contact with the rights holders but lost touch before anything could happen. So, it was left as a basic, endless side-scrolling title. That is a shame. Looks like it would have been a FANTASTIC game! I think we need to document this even though it was cancelled. Don't you agree? Added Sensational Santuci Sisters [Cancelled] Spoiler FEMALE PROTAGONISTS Bit Quest II – This time, the princess must take up the ancient sword and rescue her friend! Carrot Kingdom – You play as Jinny, an adorable Cat Girl Maid on her quest to defeat the evil Carrot King. Dishaster – You play as the girl who is spinning the dishes. Dungeon II Solstice – Choose to play as the Fairie. Elevators Amiss - You play as the Maid. Escape from the Castle - Choose to play as the heroine named Cat. Ghost Manor – Choose to play as a girl. You try to rescue your friend being held prisoner by Dracula in the castle. Halloween – You play as babysitter Laurie Strode, protecting the children from Michael Myer's knife! Kangaroo – You play as Mother Kangaroo, trying to rescue her precious baby. Lady Bug – (In nature, real lady bugs can be male or female. Let's assume that in Lady Bug, your lady bug is female.) Laura Cron (Pitfall hack) – Exactly like Pitfall, but you play as Laura Cron. Lillly Adventure – You play as Little Lilly, jumping, bouncing and leaping your way through the four seasons as she strolls down the adventurous path. Lily's Woods (Pitfall hack, 2006, by Scott Dayton) – A game for kids! Kids play as Lily. Lily explores a world of cute animals in which nothing can hurt her. Lyra the Tenrec – You play as Lyra the Tenrec, who must retrieve the Ruby Wafers and thwart the Eyebots' plots. Ms. Pac-Man Penult – You can play as a female character of your own creation. Pitkat - Choose the pink girl character Razor's Edge – You play as "Sarah Stone, a reporter and expert fighter who decides to rescue her sister Vanessa who was kidnapped by the evil David Scarblade's gang." Strike Zone Bowling - Choose the female bowler character Tomb Raider: Mystery of the Scarlet Dragon (hack of Montezuma's Revenge by @KevinMos3 Link) You play of course as Laura Croft. Wabbit – You play as Billie Sue, the farmer. ZeroPage Homebrew: The Game – Play as Tanya of the ZPH Crew. FEMALE ANTAGONISTS Miss Piggy's Wedding – Play as Miss Piggy, who tries to trap poor Kermit in the church and force him to marry her! Ms. Galactopus Rampage – Choose to play as Lizzie, who turns back into a woman when her power level drops to zero.

FEMALE SUPPORTING ROLES Donkey Kong – Pauline – Mario's girlfriend who is patiently waiting to be rescued. Jungle Hunt – Lady P is your wife whom you are trying to rescue from the cannibals. Popeye – Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oyl is waiting to be rescued, throws you hearts to encourage you. Save Mary (prototype) – You save Mary by constructing a platform before the water rises!

HONORABLE MENTIONS Sensational Santuci Sisters [Cancelled] - Barb and Deb must search the Dream World for clues to their Grandmothers Secret Spaghetti Sauce! (Was intended to be an official Great Giana Sisters for the 2600, but was unfortunately cancelled due to legal issues.) NOTES Alien – I think not. The manual says, "Each game of Alien lasts until you run out of humans." While your pixelated human could be Ripley, the female lead in the film, I think it also could be any other member of the crew who is still alive aboard the Nostromo. Meeow - I think not. The main character is @ZeroPage Homebrew Mr. James, not the cat. Even still, the gender of the cat is unknown. "You control a cat..." says the game instruction manual PDF. Meeow 2 - No. The cat's name is Max. Sheep It Up – No. The sheep/main character is male. "Sheep It Up! is an arcade game where a sheep has to climb up by hanging himself to flying velcro straps."

I found the bare bones story in the manual of an unreleased version I collaborated on with RetroIsLife: Story One day as Jen returns home from school and finds her TV on and her video game system displaying a new game. Thinking her parents bought her a new game Jen sits down and happily begins playing Balloon Warriors. With a flick of the controller she is blinded by a light as she is sucked in to the television. Opening her eyes she sees the colorful world of Balloon Warrior. A small elfish boy runs over as she pulls herself up from the ground. He begins to tell her of the creatures and the evil queen that has been taking over the land and taking gamers from their worlds. Jen takes the balloon offered to her by the Elfish boy and wraps it tight around her hand and takes off into the air. Aware of the dangers ahead she readies herself not only free the others but also the game world from the clutches of the evil queen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, taking fan stories for games into account, there are some games in my Robot Force series where you play as solely RUBY. They are: Communist Mutants from Space, Galaxian, Killer Satellites, and Plaque Attack. I'm not counting games where both DAN and RUBY are playable.

+Living Room Arcade Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 Hello, @Greg2600! The Atari Protos page about Heart Like a Wheel (prototype) mentions your name as being critical to the game's research. Are you available for comment? What role does Shirley Muldowney play in this prototype video game? Is she the protagonist (You are Shirley)? Is she an antagonist (You are racing against Shirley)? Or does she perhaps play a supporting role (You are Shirley's friend and she has asked you to race for her)? Your thoughts, please. We have very little information about this prototype. Any help you can offer us would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help you can offer us would be greatly appreciated. The prototype was found and we were unsure of its background. Some believed it was based on the Kenny Rogers movie Six Pack, but the drag racing theme seemed to me to be Heart Like A Wheel. The programmer was unknown. Nearly a decade later, the programmer Jim Collas contacted Atari Protos out of the blue, and confirmed it was Heart Like a Wheel. I actually was unaware of this, LOL. All I can assume are that the levels are based on scenes in the movie. You likely play the entire game as "Shirley," who races a variety of drag racing cars during that. Potential "opponents" would have been Connie Kalitta or Big Daddy Don Garlits, her main rivals. Edited May 26 by Greg2600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
