Rise Of The Robots & Rise 2 Protos?

[Archminion]

yes I know they were both terrible (2nd game was ok really).

Lets just say I'm interested in getting prototypes of these games for 'research' reasons.

I'd like to get hold of any and all versions of both games in prototype form:

I know there's a SNES proto of Rise 1 kicking around that I'd like to buy.
Also the games were meant to come out on various other consoles like Mega CD, Jaguar, Gameboy, Mastersystem and even in the arcade!

If anyone has any protos of any versions I'd love the chance to buy them please.

As for Rise 2. A Macintosh version was rumoured and I'd be interested in finding out more or obtaining protos of pretty much any of the versions of Rise 2 as well.

thanks for reading, please help if you can.

I heard that RotR protos were worth more after flashing them with an UV light so...

[Archminion]

ha, absolute classics these 2!

lol

I am after these tho...

Apparently a CDI version of Rise 1 may exist in proto form?
(a different version from the final released one)

Maybe someone out there has this?

Might have some info as I had the unfortunate job of coding the CD-i version...

Proto versions, depends really, what I've still got on a hard drive here could be classed as one, the probably 30 versions Philips had for testing etc could be too, if any of those survive or not, I have no idea.

I've always found it a bit weird that I did do two "final" versions, one for DV and one not because there was a massive rush on at the end of the project and I didn't have time to fit code for both into the same thing so it looks like only the non-DV version got released and got packaged as requiring (or using) DV??

Mac version... hmm, did Rise 1 get released on Mac? There was definitely Mac dev going on but I can't remember if it was Rise 1 or 2 (or maybe both). I'm still in touch with the Amiga coder and one of the MDs, I'll see if they can remember.

Hi Pete!

thanks very much for the info.
I'd be very interested in any more info or actual proto work that you did.

I'd love the chance to get hold of some of this if possible.

I really appreciate your help.

Cheers

Hey,

Sorry for the massive delay in responding to this thread (and PMs). I've finally managed to dig out what may be a RotR CD-i proto. It's dated (from the path_tbl) 17/05/1995. I can't remember exactly when Rise was released so don't know how close that is to final.

I've also contacted the Amiga coder (responsible for Rise and Rise 2) and I'll ask him if it's ok to pass along his email address..
