Yakety yak, Minter's back with this romp through the first half of his career.

To do: Let's see: assets.pie/models/test

Unused ROM

Included in assets.pie/roms/jaguar are two different ROMs for Llamatron: 2112. The one used in the collection is Llamatron2112_nf.rom. The other, Llamatron2112.rom, is largely identical but still retains the bright white screen flash when shooting an enemy.

Unused Audio

Included in assets.pie/commentary is mus_star_title.ogg, a copy of the theme used in Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration's enhanced emulation of A500 Star Raiders.

Placeholder Manual

A placeholder instruction manual is present in assets.pie/museum/manuals as both Man_Temp_00/01.jpg and Man_800_turboflex_00/01.jpg. Turboflex is the only game in the collection without an in-game manual, so that tracks.

The placeholder manual uses the "text editor" style of the Atari ST manuals, but with a large black border and the original menu bar from the text editor that was screengrabbed.

Placeholder Boxes

An example of one of the placeholder boxes.

In assets.pie/museum/gameboxes are an assortment of placeholder box arts, consisting of a photoshopped version of the ZX81 Centipede box with the game's title and the text "NEED BOX" typed on.

• Photon Storm (Atari 800)
• Revenge of the Mutant Camels 2 (Atari 800)
• Photon Storm (C64)
• Revenge of the Mutant Camels 2 (C64)
• Jaguar VLM (Jaguar CD)

• Voidrunner (ZX Spectrum)
• Hardcore (Atari ST)
• Revenge of the Mutant Camels (Atari ST)
