Even lab protos owned by original programmers have been finding their way through collectors circles. You certainly don't think all those prototypes were originally owned by an average joe, do you?? Obviously some of these programmers felt these things were worthless over time and gave them away at flea markets or something. Aside from Tempest, and Save Mary which Russ won't let out of his possession, there aren't any other Atari 2600 protos I know of which haven't had their EPROM read. Those that remain elusive probably never made it out of alpha. -- Stella list is Administered by krishna@xxxxxxxxxxxx <Glenn Saunders> Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html +-shameless plugs-------------------------------------------------------+ | Stella documentary at http://www.primenet.com/~krishna | | Nick's VCS links via http://www.primenet.com/~nickb/atariprg.htm | | Write the best game, win framed autographs of famous Atari alumni!! | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
