Until someone releases a ROM or replicates or shares with the community, I suspect this is all we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Cool - thanks!! Anyone get a chance to play this? Any feedback regarding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I remember that last screen. The little guy there says "Wanna buy some drugs?". It's hillarious. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Awesome... so it's got voice... Pokey or something like Jinks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Awesome... so it's got voice... Pokey or something like Jinks? 842219[/snapback] No it wasn't voice, it was a little cartoon bubble above his head. Maybe it was "Want some drugs?". Either way it was funny.

MegaManFan Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) By the time it is, most of us won't care any more and our 7800's will all be dead beyond repair. Edited April 23, 2005 by MegaManFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip_Cannon Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Well if they do release the ROM of this game Im ready with this label art I did^_^ 842359[/snapback] Cool label!!! Does anybody know if this title would have been an Atari release? Would it have that kind of silver label design or would it have been more like a third party Activision, Froggo, etc. cartridge design?

Since they didn't have a 7800 release who knows what it would have looked like? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Dogs Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Does anyone know if Chuck was an Atari fan or did he just get into licensing video games early on? Was Chuck Norris' Superkicks or Missing in Action released on other systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip_Cannon Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 You've got to figure that a decent amount was spent on licensing MIA and Chuck's image. Too bad it never made it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I got a message from John Hardie regarding this and Plutos & Sirius a while back...basically there's been no progress, and he's been so busy as of late he's pretty much dropped off the face of the video game collector world. He IS planning on putting out the ROMs and to release them as carts when they finally are running correctly, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it looks like they are not willing to do that (they don't seem to trust anyone with them). After three years I've pretty much given up hope of these ever seeing the light of day...

birdie3 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 What kind of technical problems are preventing this dude from making the games playable and available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip_Cannon Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 What kind of games were Plutos and Sirius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 What kind of technical problems are preventing this dude from making the games playable and available? 843794[/snapback] You'd have to ask him. Plutos and Sirius if I remember crashed or just plain didn't work last time they were out on display, and MIA uses some goofy hardware design that's made it difficult to, well, do anything with other than play the actual cart. What kind of games were Plutos and Sirius? 843847[/snapback] Shooters. I think vertical ones. They were on some atari computer. @Tempest-talk to John about it. He takes for-frickin-ever to get back to you (took almost 2 months to get a response from him on those, as like I said, he doesn't do much in the community anymore) but who knows, maybe you can work something out with him. He didn't seem to be in any sort of hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cousin Vinnie Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I have some Plutos screenshots for the Atari XE on my site. www.http://flipsiderunner.com/7800/news3.html Cousin Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Ok so they don't work in rom form but what's to stop them being released as carts? I know personally i far prefer playing 7800 games on the real hardware. I'm sure that, speaking as a 7800 owner, most of us would be willing to pay a few quid if it ment getting a *NEW* 7800 game.
