Wanted: to play the O2 protos

Pickaxe Brad!

I'm relatively new here, so I'm probably just now going through the I'm-excited-to-play-random-barely-working-prototypes phase some/many of you were in 10 (or more) years ago.  So, while it might seem like that ship has sailed a decade ago, I'm currently very curious what happened to the following protos and if they're available to play somehow:

MelRep: I see that it was repro released and sold out a long, long time ago. I think that this was one of the two protos that were the most playable, with 3 games even!  Is this around anywhere anymore? I haven't seen anyone selling even a used copy anywhere in the last year.
Spaans: I think I heard that this is barely playable, and doesn't seem to have been sold by anyone. Because of that, I'm surprised that I wasn't able to find it anywhere.
Himalaya,  Bastion, and Catburglar: these three were discovered together (with a sound tool and the Terrahawks proto).  It looks like they were never sold, but they were put on a few multicarts.  (I hope this wasn't piracy.)
Terrahawks proto: I think this was sold--and sold out--as Terrahawks the Second Assault, but has been out of circulation for a long, long time. I'm guessing it was modified a bit from the prototype when it was released for sale, but I really don't know if there's both a prototype AND a repro homebrew. But like MelRep, I haven't seen anyone selling a used copy in the last year.

I'd really like to play these if possible, of course without infringing on anyone's rights to their property.

Melrep was released.

Spaans: unknown to me

Himalaya and Bastion was released on the Videopac C7060 Game Selector, currently for sale at Packrat (as C7061): https://www.packratvg.com/o2c7061.html

Catburglar: an unfinished prototype what CCC and I are trying to complete for years but can't find anyone to finish the job. We are currently contemplating to release the unfinished game, either way, we will release it.

Terrahawks 2 was released (unedited) by CCC. http://www.classic-consoles-center.at/videopac

That looks good. It also looks like it has MelRep on it.

That's great! I thought I missed the boat, but there's a proto still out there to be released!

Thank you for the update. I guess I'm still looking to buy a Terrahawks: The Second Assault if anyone has one they want to part with. Oh, I just noticed that it's PAL only. :(
