sku_u Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 It's finished, very finished... I'll have to ask if they want to share the source. Might take some time to get through to them though. Tempest Is this something that already exists for one of the Atari computer systems, or something completely new to the Atari 8 bit world?

+davidcalgary29 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 This is great news; it means that we can all look forward to future releases of Liberator, Elevator Action, and Black Widow on cart for the 8-bits. Right? Right? My guess: It's gotta be Arabian *crosses fingers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 My guess: It's gotta be Arabian *crosses fingers* Hmm I don't think so..Although I would love to see that too, like Kangaroo, Arabian was some Jap game that Atari licensed later. Of course this didn't stop the ads and articles of the time from saying "NEW FROM THE VIDEOGAME WIZARDS OF ATARI!!" or something like that My guesses would fall on these games: Red Baron, Major Havoc, Black Widow, or I Robot. Am I close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I Robot. Am I close? I think everyone would love to see this, but can the 5200/A8 do polygons? I took the initial hint to mean that the game would be a platformer; what else could have rivalled DK on the CV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamemaster_ca_2003 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 so what happened to Galaga was that considered as a prototype for both systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I'll go out on a limb for my last guesses: 1. Marble Madness. It's strange that this was never ported to the A8... 2. Road Runner Would have fit in with the 5200 catalogue that Time/Warner was developing. 3. Tomcat Just because I've never heard any whispers about this game, period...

sku_u Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I'll throw a couple out there, although I very much doubt any of these are the game: Smash TV Shinobi Tower of Druaga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Player Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I think the amount of cool stuff at PC5 has reached a limit. I don't think there is room for any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Since everyone is so keen to guess the name of the game, we've decided to make a contest of it. Check it out: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=45749 Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I note with interest that no one has yet put in a guess for Gravitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
