CGE 2007™ MISCELLANEOUS GOODIES
Atari 2600 Meltdown Prototype Available
Classic Gaming Expo is proud to present another treat for the gaming community. Over the CGE2k4 weekend, we had the pleasure of meeting up again with old friends, Ed Rotberg and Roger Hector. As an added bonus, we also met Howard Delman, ex-Atari employee and one of the three founders of Videa (along with Ed and Roger). We discussed "the old days" and they told us about an unreleased game programmed by David Ross of Videa that they still had. Turns out, that game is Meltdown for the Atari 2600, and it had been licensed to Fox who never published it. After a period of time, the rights lapsed and reverted to Videa. After some discussion, we were able to arrange for the ROM to be released for everyone in the community to enjoy, free of charge! Just our way of saying thank you to all who support us and our work. Thanks for another great show!

Encryption Files
We played an integral part in getting Hasbro Interactive to declare the Atari Jaguar an open
platform. This allowed homebrew authors to design games for the orphaned system. We went a step further and
offered the encryption for several Atari platforms including the Lynx and 7800 game consoles so as to help
facilitate the creation of new games for these consoles.
