Avram Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I see that on Atarimania there were several titles in the Pole Position series : the original, a track designer and 'Pole Position X'. Was the sequel, Pole Position 2, ever written or does it exist as a lost prototype? http://www.atarimania.com/lst_soft.php?men...0&SFAMILLE_ID=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Check this catalog: http://www.atarimania.com/det_catalogue.ph...CATALOGUE_ID=76 Datasoft was also to re-release the game along with Elevator Action which is listed as RX8070. Who knows, maybe both of the games are out there? -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the 1984 16k version really that rough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 that IS the 2600 version in the screenshot :-) One sure does wonder why. Must've been a error... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avram Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 Very interesting. And I hadn't heard of the Captain Hook title before - is this another prototype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Captain Hook's Revenge (also known as Peter Pan's Daring Escape IIRC) was to be an educational title. There are many lost games in this genre as well but it seems investigation doesn't go any further because most of these programs are not cartridge-based -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avram Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 I find it pretty interesting to see what titles didn't get released on the Atari. One non-atari site I'll visit often (and I'm sure I've mentiond it here before) is www.cs.c64.org - unreleased games for the C64. Have a look at Deadlock, an example of an unreleased but beautiful commodore game. Thankfully in the Atari communinty is Tempest's www.atariprotos.com Looking forward to seeing the updated 8-bit section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 wow, thats an awesome c64 site. thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 that IS the 2600 version in the screenshot :-) One sure does wonder why. Must've been a error... I have a 5200 catalog where the picture for defender is from the 2600 version...go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 This month I played pole position at the JHV with an usb wheel on a XL. Very unusal but fun. Maybe the usb cartridge will be available at the end of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
