dgo Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 It seems to me the rarity guide is a bit out dated. A new game like Alpine Games for the Lynx should be added in my opinion. Also, I send in some missing pics as a contribution, but no response whatsoever... Do they still maintain this part of the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yes, Alpine Games definitely needs to be added, I will do that this week. I intended to add it before PC5, but got caught up with preparations for the show and dropped the ball on it. I also just located the email you sent with the Alien vs. Predator proto and Electrocop box photos. Is that a legitimate prototype or a copy made on an Atari EPROM board? As for the Electrocop box pictures, I would prefer to get scans of the front and back so they are consistent with the rest of the images in our database. Do you have a scanner? Seems that we're only missing a few Lynx box scans: - Raiden - NFL Football - Ms. Pac-Man - Electrocop - California Games - Baseball Heroes It's odd that Electrocop and California Games are missing, since those are both two very common Lynx games. It's possible I couldn't find my boxes for those games when I was originally working on the Lynx section. I'll need a scan of the "box" from Alpine Games also, if someone has it (I don't yet have a copy, need to work on that.. ) Thanks! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgo Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 I'm afraid I do not have a scanner nearby.. so the only thing I can supply you with are hq pictures of the boxes of Electrocop (and Baseball heroes, Alpine Games for that matter (and cal games off course lol)) As for the AvP proto: Good question. I was just discussing this with another collector the other day.. We couldn't find a way to really confirm the authenticity of the proto (or any of the other proto's for that matter) even when it's printed on a (so it seems) original Atari Lynx Eprom card. Any suggestions and help is appreciated! Here's hires pics (@500k each) AvP Front http://www.xs4all.nl/~bakkerp/Images/proto...o/AVP_front.JPG AvP Back http://www.xs4all.nl/~bakkerp/Images/proto...to/AVP_back.JPG For instance, I bought some proto's from b&c, are they genuine? Finally, I stress the fact that no flame was intended with my post, merely a concern about the 'completeness' of this excellent site (us collectors have a weakness for things being 'complete' as you might know ) Thanks for the prompt reply!

YOK-dfa Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 For instance' date=' I bought some proto's from b&c, are they genuine?[/quote'] As far as i know they are reproductions of proto's. Not original proto's themself. Cheers, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgo Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hmm thanks, That's what I suspected based on their price which is around $25 / proto which would be quit cheap I thing for an original... I'm still very interested to know how to tell the difference.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to increase your probability of acquiring a "genuine" prototype is to buy from a reputable collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadLynxer Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Most of the new B&C proto releases say B&C Computervisions right on the board. No clue about the older ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 A new game like Alpine Games for the Lynx should be added in my opinion. Okay, I have added Alpine Games to the database. I would like to get higher-resolution scans of the box and the cartridge, though, if someone wants to help there. Also, I need to write Duranik and ask them if it's okay to post the manual as well. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geosteve Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have front on back scans of early release Electrocop box that I'm sure I've sent in before, whatever happened to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
