I am very sad to report that the demo cart of the 7800 Halloween themed game made for CGE was stolen from the AA booth on Saturday afternoon so people attending on Sunday could not play the game. Some people are just scum, pure and simple and make our otherwise wonderful community look bad. The cart belonged to AA member Groovybee and was still a work in progress prototype.
There is every chance this might pop up on eBay or be offered to members on forums, it’s the only one of its kind and it’s got the AtariAge prototype/demo label on it so it’s a dead giveaway. It’s not even the full game. It has a tiny partial level, only one boss, no working inventory system, no sound etc. It was just a demo to show what will be available on the 7800 in the near future.
If the person who has stolen this and wants to do the right thing and return it and is reading this Chickybaby will still be at the hotel until tomorrow August 3rd, so leave the cart at reception marked for her. If any members reading this know who has it then I urge you to tell them to return it by simply sending it to Albert @ AtariAge.
