A prototype of the unreleased Tarzan for the Atari 2600.

Notes

• Developed by James Wickstead Design Associates; designed by Lawrence Schick
• Final or near-final build
• Originally from a former Coleco employee, who later sold it to AtariSpot
  • Two boards with identical data were sent, but only one worked
• Uses an unique bankswitching scheme, which makes the game not run on emulators/flash cartridges. A conversion to F6 bankswitching was later done by Thomas Jentzsch; both ROMs are provided on the download links above

Origin

• 

  EPROM cartridges
