The ones I am calling prototypes came right out of real, bonefide
dye-in-the-wool lab loaner and prototype scrappings. I got them
directly from an Atari employee waaaaaaaaay back in the mid to late
1980's, and a second batch from another guy I went to church with in the
early 90's. The only one pictured that is not in its case is the Jungle
Hunt, I took it out to talk a pic of it because it is unique and I have
never seen another one like it. SADLY I peeled the labels off the older
ones (the dukes, peek-a-boo, and I think grover) so I could put hozer
labels on them. Whoops! Who would have thought they would ever be
valuable.... same with the Spectravision dev kit I had but kept the
protos from, which included CTCW and Nexar.
say whatever you want, my grover and dukes of hazzard boards are
prototypes! I am not saying ALL boards made that way are, but these
most definitely are (unless you have for instance a Dukes released cart,
which I have never seen or heard of! <smile!>) Some of my other protos
are made this way too. Makes it easy to prove they are legit, since no
one I know of can make games in this way at home.
