DracIsBack Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Has anyone found the Atari XE version of Xenophobe? I was secretly hoping it would get released like COMMANDO and MIDI MAZE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I know of people who "Have it somewhere", but I have not seen it personally. I'm sure it will turn up soon. I'm really curious as to how well it turned out. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 I'm hoping it turned out well. I was quite impressed with the COMMANDO conversion for the 8-bits ... it was much sharper than I thought it would be. While I don't feel it eclipsed the 7800 or NES versions, it was not the type of game you commonly saw on the 8-bits Atari computers. The sprites were good, the use of color was good, the scrolling was good ... and the game was detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I'm pretty sure that Xenophobe and Mat Mania Challenge will be the next 8-bit Atari proto releases. I've also heard rumours that Ikari Warriors has been located, but have not been able to confirm this. [/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably sitting beside CHUCK NORRIS, MISSING IN ACTION for the 7800 on some prototype collector's shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish it was my shelf... Tempest I wish it was my shelf too! If it was, I'd have a site up showing pictures, screenshots, game info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I know Video61was gong to sell Xenophobe at one time - maybe they have pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I know several of the retailers have Xenophobe (Bruce Caruso said this in a post some time ago), but they were all having some troubling creating carts. Lance Ringquist just released Jinks on cart, of course (64k) version, and several other Tramiel-era protos have been discovered. Mat Mania Challenge seems like a sure thing for a future release, and we'll just have to cross our fingers with respect to Ikari Warriors, Ninja Golf, and Skyfox.

Tempest Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Lance Ringquist just released Jinks on cart, of course (64k) version So this is the one Atari was going to release or was that one 32K? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatPW Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I remember seeing Xenophobe and Mat Mania Challenge as prototypes for sale for the Atari XE Game System. I remember this was back in the late 90s in the final B&C Computervision catalogs. I think they stopped updating them after the late 90s.
