Anyone know who programmed Melrep?

Martian Threat programmed by GST Video  - year?

Hmm, there is no year in the game, and noone from GST remembers. 1983 I would guess. Maybe there is a year in the source code? We'd had to ask Rene ...

I've never found any hidden text in the source code of a Videopac or Odyssey2 game.

Since the first Videopac games made by GST were released in 1983, the other GST games are probably from 1983 as well. (or maybe 1984, Philips seems to have stopped counting the years for Videopac games after 1983. The last Videopac games have been released in 1984, but still have 1983 printed on them.)

Hi,

I have been looking through some old emails and found this! Richard of videopac.org forum who released mission impossible / program trip made a one off gold cartridge of the game, he owns it!! I don't know if you want to add this to the database.

Martian Threat programmed by GST Video  - year?

I just had a look at the PCB and Eproms for Martian Threat, the EPROMS are from 1981, but the PCB has no date, sometimes they do but not in this case.  I have no idea about Melrep.

Does this mean the game was made in 1981 (programmed), or is it a date from the EPROM itself? Only reason I ask, is that most GST Video games are from around 1984.

[ANDYRYALS]

No the eprom was probably from 1981 I have some Eproms data 1979!!

[Ozyr]

added Playtag to the list. Robot City coming soon...  :D

[Janzl]

Just checked the list and saw you didn't have the release dates for:

Puzzle Piece panic: 02/21/2007

Planet Lander: 10/06/2004

Mr Roboto: 03/31/2006

[Ozyr]

Thanks Janzl. I've been meaning to bug Packrat or someone who had those dates. I didn't keep my receipts for the games, so I forgot the dates. (I still need to bug him about Pong and Calculator - I just don't remember the dates)

233 multi-cart added (nice unit + new case). Plus extra switch too!
