I remember reading about that guy who got a hold of the California Games proto and said he wasn't going to have it dumped. I find the idea sickening to be honest.

Best post ever.

God, no. Nobody thinks that. We're not in the business of ruining videogames around here.

Please elaborate since I am obviously clueless.

I think the real tragedy would be if these unreleased games were lost to time or disaster. It's bad enough that some games never got released even in prototype form. What would happen if you had the only copy of a game and you had a fire or it got stolen or something...

This thread was fake. He never found a proto, he just faked the whole thing. Many thought it was funny, but I didnt quite see the humor in it. Making many belive that a proto was found, make a fake pic of it being crushed then say its fake.

Anyway, what you said about not dumping a game and if the proto gets damaged and its the only one. I dont think the game would be lost forever. The developers who worked on the game probly have their own prototype.
But there are tons of games out there so if a few dont get released I wouldnt consider it as a big loss. Altho, there are one unreleased game I'd really wanted to be released and its Leisure Suite Larry 8 - Lust in Space.

It doesn't sound like you've done much research. Lust in Space was never even started, the farthest they got was an incredibly short demo video of what a 3D-modeled Larry Laffer might look like. I don't think Lowe even got around to designing the game. It's available on allowe.com.

This is a really interesting point, I never thought of it that way. Maybe I should reassess my values.

I know, Ive seen that 3d movie long time ago. Its still unreleased even if it wasnt made :P
It was announced to be released for x-mas in 97 or 98. I remember I used to call a gamestore and ask about it.
Also says "Comming Soon" after you beat Larry 7. So.. yes, its a unreleased game. Its a shame tho

Al Lowe is a legend!

**Snapple** · 11-08-2005, 05:06 AM

You know... after reading all 11 pages, I'm starting to think there's something dubious about this whole story, but I can't... quite... put my finger on it.

**Six Switch** · 11-08-2005, 08:23 AM

**shaggy** · 11-08-2005, 09:00 AM

Can we lock this now please? I think there should be a totally seperate forum for people to post stupid pictures of animals with dumb phrases. Now that the prank is over, do we really need 100 pages of people bragging that they read the whole thing and pictures of alligators saying something stupid.

Now I'll Sit back and wait for the next post to be a picture of an alligator saying "something stupid".
