RE: Story Of Searching For A Prototype: My Quest For Missile Com mand

I was going to enter MC2 and Super Centipede into KLOV a while back and I
emailed and asked if I could make 2 entries (one for each game) and I was
told that since both games are on one board that only one entry (under
arcade classics) should be made. So I decided that wasn't as cool and I
never did it.

G'day folks,

I could be wrong, but the new KLOV may only document "manufactured" games.
At least that's how it was originally conceived...things may have changed
since then. (Demon probably never was manufactured, and if the above is
still true then Demon should be pulled from the new KLOV.)

Documenting prototypes in the new KLOV opens up a can of worms. How far
along does an internal project have to go before it becomes a "game" worthy
of documenting? Also documenting a game that has only been seen by a couple
employees (or one or two boards have found their way into collector's hands)
becomes quite difficult!

ps - My experience at Williams showed that at most 1 in 5 game concepts ever
made it out of the building to be played by the public. Perhaps Atari (or
other arcade manufacturers)had a better hit ratio?

Minor suggestion:

Why not create a web page about MC 2, then create a KLOV entry about MC 2,
and then add a link onto the KLOV page to your page?
