Now that's firework I can relate to! Thank you so much for unearthing these gold nuggets.

Does that proto of Raiders has Jerome Domurat's initials in it?

[Rom Hunter]

Don't hold your breath.

If Scott knew it was there, he would have mentioned it already.

Unfortunately, no (and neither are Howard's). It does have a few new items that can be found in the Marketplace.. and the Temple Treasure room, but they don't appear to be implemented. HSW doesn't remember what the extra items were or what their intended use was to be, but it's still cool to see them :) The collision-detection doesn't work in some areas, and there's no sound. But the Yar is in there and the game can be solved.

@Rom Hunter
Still don't know who programmed Going-Up, and may never find out :(
There's something different about Yars' ;)

I think it's great you set these free, Scott.

It's quite special to be able to play an early version of such famous VCS games.

Thanks again!
