From what I understand, Robert Byrne’s Pool Challenge was first know as Cue Stick when it was being developed by Odyssey Software during 1992. It was later passed onto American Video Entertainment. AVE opted to license the game with the then famous shark Robert Byrnes. Apparently Byrnes requested some last minute changes just before the […] More
First party prototypes tend to show up much less frequently than ones from other developers. Internal security and regulations and well as desirability of many titles are probably the main reasons. One seller however, has two up at the moment. One for a Super Mario / Duck Hunt / Track Meet and the other for […] More
From what I understand the source for this game was found on a Atari Test Department computer that was purchasaed, possibly one of the several we saw go for sale over the past year. Apparently it was produced between 1993 and 1995 and was never picked up just because Atari decided to focus on the […] More
There are a lot of never released but working prototypes out there for the Jaguar. The Voice Modem, the Cortina Web Adaptor, and several Jaguar VR units come to mind. What we have here today is the Cortina WebTV Adaptor which basically was meant to let you surf the web via your console. This auction […] More

If you’re somewhere on the cusp of thirty like me (dear god), and have been playing games since your youth, then you probally have fond memories of Commander Keen like myself. Aside from being fun, the game is notable as one of the first DOS games to successfully replicate the side-scrolling action of the original […] More
Nicola briefly mentioned this before, but as it’s ending today I wanted to take a second look at it. Up for auction is the only known copy of Atari Muppets-Go-Round for the Atari 5200. This game was under development for the rumored Kid’s Controller but was discontinued after massive cutbacks at Atari during the 1983 […] More
The NES collecting scene tends to have very persistent and dedicated detectives. Because of that, many unreleased games are well known about and have been heavily documented even if they’ve never been found or played. That makes this game all the more interesting, as there isn’t much info out there. A seller has recently listed […] More
