Guess the CGE "Rumor Mill" Release and WIN IT!

[digitalpress]

As you're probably aware, CGE Services releases several new games at the Expo each year. These aren't homebrews but instead games that were either never completed "in the day" or were completed and simply abandoned. Last year, they released 20th Century Fox' "Rumor Mill" titles Pick-Up and Save the Whales, Atari's Crack'ed, and the Vectrex game Cube Quest.

Earlier in the year, CGE Services announced another Fox vaporware product to be finally made available at this year's show, Entity (you can see details of the game at http://www.digitpress.com/archives/cc_entity.htm). There are two more to be announced.

LATER TODAY, one of those games will be announced. Here's your chance to win it outright.

BE THE FIRST person to name the game in this thread, and it's yours. You can only guess ONCE. A winner will not be announced until later tonight when the game is officially unveiled.

HINTS:
- It's an Atari 2600 Game.
- It's NOT by Fox.
- It IS in the Digital Press Collector's Guide Rumor Mill section.

START GUESSING! Remember, you only get ONE GUESS.

Better odds than the lottery....

wait, not by Fox? So it can't be "Attack of the Baby Seals"?

DAMN


Oh well, I guess I'll go with "Glactic Tactic".

Bubbles

I'm sure hoping it's "Talk Dirty To Me", "Debbie Does Dallas", or "Penetrator", but based strictly on the "lite" Rumor Mill guide without any additional info, my official guess will be:

Guardians of the Treasure

[Atariguy]

I'll say Dukes of Hazzard

[Goblin]

Mission Omega

[Mayhem]

Choplifter

[Atar1G1rl]

As I know almost nothing about the 2600 in regards to releases and such, I'll guess James Bond: Octopussy

[Tempest]

Rush Hour.

Tempest

[rolenta]

Can I play? :D

[digitalpress]

I presume you know this one, Len!

But for anyone else who's thinking of entering now and knows that CGE Services has the ROM for Rush Hour (as documented HERE (http://www.digitpress.com/archives/cc_commavid.htm)), the answer is NOT Rush Hour.

Continue!

Damn it! I thought I had this one., now I'm intregued. Any ETA on that Rush Hour rom? I've been dying to see what it looks like.

Don't worry, he wouldn't tell me either. ;)

I guess Circus Charlie.

Kristine

[Sniderman]

"Steel Battalion" for the 2600. Sean and John are probably now hand-assembling the cockpit console controllers consisting of two joysticks, a set of paddles, and three Video Touch Pads. :D

[Raccoon Lad]

Smurfette's birthday, or was it called smurf treasure hunt?

[ghsqb]

The Flintstones.

[l_lamb]

3D Asteroids

[NoahsMyBro]

Tower Toppler?

[CX2K]

I know!!!!!

It's Do-Bee's First Alphabet from Spectravision!!!

Actually I don't know. Joe, it's not that Frenzy prototype that we got from Katz, Kunkel, Worley is it?


;)

John

[DEBRO]

I guess Care Bears by Parker Brothers :D

[scooterb23]

I pray for a playable Bubbles game...but my guess is Airplane! by Sega

[Marco]

Could it be the electronic health bike controller by Exus?! LOL


Here's hoping it will be Ladybug X_x


Cheers,
Marco

[CX2K]

No more guesses?????

I guess nobody wants this....

Ok. Since there's only about 20 minutes left before we announce this, here's the deal:

EVERYBODY GETS ONE MORE GUESS!!

Don't ask for a hint though. I'd rather just have you going in circles.

John

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

I'm going to say KICKMAN, only because I know Mike Mika's been working on it.

I know it ain't gonna be Power Lords or Pink Panther. :P

[Queen Of The Felines]

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons!

I hope so, anyway...

Kristine

20 MINUTES?!

HEAVE.... HO!

HEAVE.... HO!

FASTER ON THE WEBSITE UPLOADS, SANTULLI AND STILPHEN!

HEAVE... HO!

HEAVE... HO!

(Give me another 1/2 hour. Hopefully someone will guess right by then!)

[DEBRO]

Since I get another guess I'm going for Caverns of Mars. That way I don't have to program it myself :)

[Raccoon Lad]

the impossible game?

[digitalpress]

Well it just goes to show how good the CGE gang has gotten at keeping a secret.

Announcing, for the very first time....

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

OOOH YESSSS! It's not Kickman, but this is gonna be TOO cool!

[Tempest]

Interesting. Did Ed ever say why it was never released? I don't suppose you found Cabbage Patch Kids while you were at it did you?

[ManekiNeko]

Man, how many of these prototypes are people going to uncover before they all dry up?

JR

[scooterb23]

Nice...I wish I would have spent more than 5 seconds looking at the Rumor Mill before making my guess :)

[CX2K]

Hmmmm. Too bad nobody got it. Maybe if they had more time.

I thought somebody might pick up on the hint in my last message where I said "Don't ask me for a hint". :)

John

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

D'oh! *_* NOW I see it plain as day. :P

[Marco]

Aargh, I did get the company right :/

Way cool find guys! That release looks awesome!
Set one aside for me and bring it along when you
come over to visit me in Holland some day :)

Cheers,
Marco
