    Default Found a Colecovision Proto of Roc 'N Rope :)

    Hey all, it's been a while

    Merry Christmas to start, it's been a hell of a year, but I'm glad to be here on DP again

    Found an interesting cart with a homemade label, picked it up as it gave off a vibe, though I figured it was worth the gamble.

    Cracked it open this morning and it appears to be a prototype of Roc n' Rope for the Colecovision!

    The chips are heavy, programmable no doubt, and is covered in notes.

    The labels say:

    Rock + Rope Rev 19 21a5#1

    Rock + Rope Rev 19 D6a9 #2

    Rock + Rope Rev 19 3e28 #3


    Funny thing is that the label and the chips all spell 'Roc' as 'Rock'.

    Don't have a colecovision where I'm at this morning so I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I thought I would pass on this cool info If anybody has any kinds of info on prototypes, or this particular game, say it loud and proud

    So I got to try it out today, it seems to work fine, but I've never played the commercial release before so I can't really compare any possible differences.

    Though there is one more space where a 'K' could have been removed from 'Roc n' Rope' at the startup screen, I noticed.

    EDIT: Hah! I didn't notice that this thread had been moved to the prototype section, even better, I didn't know DP HAD a prototype section

    Did you happen to post this up for sale on eBay? I happened to see the listing and put 2 and 2 together. Just trying to make sure it's legit before I decide to bid...

    Yeah, that's me alright

    ...and I'll let the new owner of the cart decide whether to dump it or not, I am interested, but I need the money and the new owner should make that decision.

    I picked it up at a junk store where there was a pile of decent colecovision games, systems, and expansions, but the guy wanted too much for everything. So I picked up the one thing that looked like it may be worth it.

    People at atariage are questioning the validity of the item, I registered on the site to reply, but the board won't let me post for some reason:
