Not the best video on YouTube, I know, but still a rather interesting look at the unreleased Marlboro Go game for the Atari Lynx. Oh, and should you care to actually give it a try, you could download the prototype ROM from Atari Age and grab a free copy of the Handy Lynx emulator to run it.

OMG, when you think you've seen it all...
ReplyDeleteI actually had to read the title twice to make sure it was indeed Marlboro and not some similar word.
The game itself doesn't look too bad, I wonder why it wasn't released? Maybe the Marlboro name wasn't that appropriate for a game that would probably end up being marketed at kids...
The end of the video made me laugh, for I've stop smoking Marlboro a long time ago (too pricey) and switched to, guess what, Camel xD
You'd be interested to know the Marlboro branded, properly red no less, Lynx console did get a minimal release. Oh, and I do wish I could smoke Prince cigarettes but they are way too unhealthy. Guess Marlboro Lights should do...
ReplyDeleteJust saw a picture of the Marlboro Lynx on your Lair and it's actually quite pretty!
ReplyDeletePrince cigarettes? The first time I've heard of those, no wonder since they're not sold here. A quick wikipedia search revealed that apparently it's the favourite brand of King Diamond (he's a musician, don't know if you've heard of him). Well, guess I'll have to stick with Camel...
King Diamond? Nope, never heard of the man, really. But now all I want is to smoke 3 packs of Prince a day...
ReplyDeleteHey, that's my video.
ReplyDeleteWell, if people are spreading it, then that's fine with me.
Nice video Frank! Great find Gnome.... smoking sponsored games on handhelds? My word! Good gosh! What's the world coming to?
ReplyDeleteI'm an Embassy No.1 person myself... should be quitting though...
Quitting heh? No ideas of justing cutting down on the thing then?
ReplyDeleteYou know me Gnome... All or nothing! LOL!
ReplyDeleteA wise stance. well, probably... :)
ReplyDeleteActually, Frank's not my real name. It's just the fake name I used to sign up for gmail with because I used to be paranoid about this new internet fad.
