i dont know if this should go under protos, foreighn releases, or what-


Strike It! ....by Bit Corp

homebrew:

MEGACART ...by s. kelly $ 0.00
this was a pre-all in one multicart bundle that spanned 7 carts. all contained dipswitches! very cool.

SPACE PAK ..... J. Dondzila $? This is an 8 in 1 cartridge containing all "space" theme games. (space fury, cosmic avenger, gorf, gyruss, moonsweeper, nova blast, threshold & star wars) No longer produced?

Updates to Prototype section (4-17-03):

Joust (atarisoft): this version of joust appears to be complete with sound effects.

Ms. Pac Man (atarisoft): appears to not be complete. in it's current state, only a martini glass bounces around the screen.

RUMOR MILL:

Vanguard: a side scrolling engine for this game was designed, but the game was scrapped before any actual code was written. It was to be designed by Matt Householder, the same programmer of Moon Patrol and Matt Patrol for the ColecoVision.

it was a challenge that a member of the CCJVQ club set to saw if we can really convert an SG-1000 game to the Colecovision, and the resulat was very surprising.

Especially that the game work wihtout any problem !

But the concensus of the CCJVQ decided that with the copyright situation, we decided that no more than a couple cart can be produced to stay out of the "legal" problem.

Steve Begin his a very good programmer and his working on a new Colecovision
game right now. I don't know if in the future, he will try to convert another game, but the chance are good.

Is it safe to say that all 10 carts have already been spoken for, or might someone send me Steve's email address? :-)
