SS Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...p=671262#671262 Saw that. Weird that Matt should post it at just about the same time that I was asking the question. What's the game like/about? Has anyone see it in action? There doesn't seem to be a listing on Atari Protos for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 From what I was told, Look Ahead was a puzzle game by Pick Up programmer Mark Klein. The only known prototype was given to John Hardie at CGE along with The Entity at CGE 2K2 (I know because I was there when it happened). All Mark told me was it was some kind of logic/puzzle game. I also seem to remember him saying it was based off some old concept (something famous I believe). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should get my ass over to Joe's house for another "New Jersey Classic" one of these months and ask John about it. I wasn't even aware that he was in possession of it.

I wasn't even aware that he was in possession of it. He may not be anymore, this was 2 years ago. I assume he still has it (or one of the other CGE people). I did see it with my own two eyes though, so it does exist. BTW where did you hear about it? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 BTW where did you hear about it? http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...areLabelID=2390 The Entity was programmed by Mark Kline, who was responsible for two other unreleased Fox games, Pick Up and Look Ahead.

Tempest Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Ok that makes sense since I helped write that. The reason I asked is that AFAIK no one else knew about it (well until now that is). IIRC we were the only people in the museum when the 'hand off' happened. I was curious if there had been some kind of official announcement about it that I missed.

www.atarimania.com Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 There's a game called Lookahead on the A8, maybe it's the same concept: http://www.atarimania.com/detail_8bits.php...VERSION_ID=3035 -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 though it looks nothing like the a8bit game in those pictures, based on the title and tempest's description, the game 'master mind' comes to mind.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 What's up with all these prototype threads in the 2600 forums lately? There's a prototype forum for these types of discussions. Sheesh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 oh, and while we are on the subject of unreleased protos... What is up with Treasure of Tarmin??? God I want to see that game, the Inty version is my #2 fave game of all time. I don't see what the big deal is, INTV released Thunder Castle and Tower of Doom without the AD&D names or copyrights, but didn't change the games. I would also like to see Rocky and Bullwinkle, it looks potentially really good. Why not just call it Squirrell & Moose :-) (and the oils well type game too,) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
