povlok1 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I have a atari labeled eprom, never been mounted and clearly states 'promotional' on the bottom of the chip! these did come from a lady whose dad worked in an atari lab (confirmed) but she had no other info, just her dad brought them home. Its Donald Duck NTSC! I also have one just like it marked prototype that is Dukes of Hazzard (1st version) Also have Mrs pacman, yars reven, gremlins,, all proto chips,, all seem to be authentic atari chips with proper #'s for the time. Any help on this would be great,, exspecially on the Donald chip,, tnks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Man if you have the Donald Duck complete and working on that chip, you might be sitting on some big time bucks and there are people like the ones at wwwAtari2600.com that could make complete games with boxes for it to sell, that would be great.

Why ? Donald was released in Brazil and quite a few people have NTSC protos of that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 i played the game as a kid at a show in new york hosted by a video game magazine. It was fun, and looked really good. I hope one day I can buy it from somewhere done up proper atari disney style like snow white was. real shame about snow white, it obviosuly had a lot of potentiall.

Tempest Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 real shame about snow white, it obviosuly had a lot of potentiall. Snow White was complete, it just needed to be polished. It's actually quite good for a 2600 Disney game. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povlok1 Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 only have a screen shot of the start up screen, than batteries went dead in my 'diggi' .. (exspensive ba%$#eds) I will get some pics of all the eproms later.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Got a pic of the cart itself? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povlok1 Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Ok, sorry for the delay in getting these pics. What I have here is several chips with 'prototype' clearly on the bottom. I either have a batch of very rare chips or an assortment of bootlegs. I figure one of two things.. these are actually real and were 'grabbed' by someone who probably worked in the chip manufacturing lab? Or this was someone in a lab who made copies using 'prototype' blanks (or a combination of both). The one reason I think these could possibly be real is the fact the games seem to mostly be on their corresponding companies chip! (Atari games on Atari chips, activision on activision chips,, etc) I know Atari made guides to decipher the numbers on the chips..anyone have one of these?? if so please let me know what you think. Also, the Dukes of Hazard chip, is not marked proto on the bottom, but once again can someone verify the numbers?? tnks;) Here is Donald Ducks Speedboat These two chips are identical, both say 'three little pigs' on top, these are copies of 'Oink', I think three pigs was the temp name given during development?? This is a copy of Kangaroo This one is Ghost Manner and could be on a Atari chip? Which could prove these to definitely be bootlegs.. anyone able to track the numbers on top? Here is Yars Revenge,, notice it says 'control' on the top Here is a couple copies of Trick Shot! I really hope these are real for I've heard that Imagic prototypes are very hard to come by.. This is Star Trek, appears to be an Atari chip?? not sure Here is Mrs. Pac man This is Buck Rogers,, but once again in this case it looks like an Atari chip! Any verification on this? Here is Jungle Hunt Here is Centipede Ok,, that's it,, I will say what I've noticed is the chips that I have multiple copies of all have the same #'s on the back for that particular game, also, I noticed that the #'s always seem to be proper for their release time, in other words, I haven't found a newer game on a old numbered chip of vis-a-versa. Any input on this would be great;) tnks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Hey, jeff, nice ROM collection, But what ever happened to the rest of the regular ones????

CincYnoTi Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 yup, was missing a </table> pretty strange the succeeding posts inherited the table format. even the post where i put the </table> still had the table formatting with my signature.

povlok1 Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 I actually played the donald duck game today.. its only one 'heat' than ther is a split screne scenareo,, but it suddenly stops. It shows donalds three cousins walking in fron the left of the scren, they are all stacked on each other and pulling somthin,, not a wagon, two wheels? who knows. they get about 2 thirds across the screen then just stop. No screen run, changes colors after while but thats it. have to hit reset to go again,, deffinetly not a complete game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 But werent most of the prototypes that are soldered to boards have two chips on them? It seemed like that was so when I was going thru Atariprotos.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 deffinetly not a complete game. So is it different to the public available binary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povlok1 Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 actually, I never have emulated;) Im a big hardward geek,, in compters too. Its funny, but I definetly spend more time just collecting than actually playing;) You have my curiosity now, Im tempted to emi just to see, how does the emi game go? does it automatically go to the next race? Does the split screen scenario do anything more than what I commented on earlyier with the ducks walking out a littl over half screen than just stopping?
