joeybastard Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 That looks really cool, I hope it's for real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 You know we DO have a prototype forum... Still, it really does look neat doesn't it? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Scrolling buildings on the side is not in any other 3d racing game for the 2600 is it? Man that game looks really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Look here Looks like the prototype Bushie dumped last April 1. Especially the 1st screen. It'd be cool if this turns out to be a real Turbo prototype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 There was this Turbo 'prototype/hoax' that had the same scrolling buildings Cheers, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 4 digits on each side? An unjagged road with stripes and a vertical line? Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I hope who ever wins this game will dump the ROM. I'd like to see the code behind this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Yeah I've been looking at those pics again. The low res background really does look like the Turbo 'Prototype'. The graphics seem a little too good for a 2600 game (although I'm not sure if they're impossible). Another thing that bothers me is the seller says this came from a Universal programmer. Universal didn't program games for home systems, theylicensed their games out to Coleco. It just doesn't make any sense. Normally I'd scream Hoax, but the seller has a 400+ feedback rating. I don't know what to make of this one, but I'd be careful. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Isn't the seller Best Electronics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Isn't the seller Best Electronics? Huh. I didn't notice that name. Could be, but I would think Best would have a higher ebay feedback than me. Could be a similar sounding name. Anyone know? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Another thing that bothers me is the seller says this came from a Universal programmer. Universal didn't program games for home systems, theylicensed their games out to Coleco. He only says he got it from an Universal programmer. That doesn't mean that it's an Universal release though. Maybe the guy worked on that before (or after) working at Universal (i know, a little far fetched, but still a possible scenario) We have done extensive research on the Internet and with some experts on rare 2600 Games and None of them or the Atari 2600 Collector sites like Atariage have ever heard of this Prototype Game, have it listed or Screen shots of it Maybe you should try to find out which 'experts' this guy talked to. Maybe they can tell us more about this. Cheers, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eluccas Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Yeah I've been looking at those pics again. The low res background really does look like the Turbo 'Prototype'. The graphics seem Yes, this appears to be a 2600 version of Turbo. Maybe is true. In 80's here in Brazil, the Dynacom company (the same company that release the portable 2600 called Megaboy) announced this game in your catalog. But I never see one im my hands.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 4 digits on each side? That bothers me too. But maybe we can find known other games which use a simlar score layout. I wish we had a screenshot with different digits. An unjagged road with stripes and a vertical line? I don't see a problem here. BTW: Actually there are little jags which correspond perfectly with the missing HMOVE blanks. So if it is a fake, the author knows quite a bit about programming. Hmm... Yup!

Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Looks like the prototype Bushie dumped last April 1. There is quite a difference. I my Turbo fake, the moving part of the buildings vertically overlapped with the cars. Here there is a vertical separation noticable (scrolls probably only above the cars area) and the street borders are smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Why doesn't somebody ask Brad at Best Electronics more about it? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhfreak Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Well, the way the description is written you would think it IS best electronics. Their site looks the same (big colored letters all over the place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 An unjagged road with stripes and a vertical line? Hmm... Why not? Pole Position looks like it has smooth edges too on the straightaways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 You should use a better emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
