Atari has revealed that they’re bringing Save Mary to their Atari XP cartridge line. This one is a little more particular as a result of it was an unreleased title by Tod Frye, who would go on to program the N64 cult traditional Battletanx. He uh… additionally programmed the Atari 2600 model of Pac-Man, which is attributed as a serious contributor to the 1983 crash of the online game market.
It’s truthfully a fairly incredible Atari 2600 title. Or, at the least, I prefer it. Your objective is to make use of a crane to drop bricks on a platform that’s slowly being submerged in water. Mary is caught on this platform and is counting on you to stack these bricks so she will escape. Additionally, don’t drop them on her as a result of she’ll die lots faster from that than she would from drowning.
Save Mary was apparently in improvement for a really very long time and finally canceled when Atari discontinued the 2600 in 1990. Atari founder Nolan Bushnell was quoted in Atarian saying that he was eagerly anticipating the title. Years later, eight of the prototype cartridges have been unearthed and dumped onto the web. Homebrew cartridges would later be offered utilizing the prototype ROM. Nonetheless, this would be the first time it has been formally launched
The Restricted Version model is offered for pre-order proper now and is simply having a 500-cartridge manufacturing run. It is available in a field primarily based on the silver field format of 2600 packaging. It additionally comes with a handbook. Neither the location nor the press launch states if there will likely be a typical version of Save Mary.
Save Mary Restricted Version is up for pre-order proper now. It’s estimated to ship 3 to 4 months from now.
