There is some evidence that the games Flapper and Jabberwock might have been released commercially by Romox, although they are currently regarded as vaporware.

Has anyone seen either?

I don't mean as an ECPC cart - I'm thinking of a commercially released title.

Any info would be great!

I'm almost sure Flapper exists as a normal cartridge... There are a handful of Romox games that were probably finished but never marketed. Do you have some leads?

Exactly. These are the two that I think are most likely to be in circulation.

Anyone?

Finally removed Flapper from my main list to ECPC only. Twenty years is long enough wait and none has shown up. No box I could understand but surely a loose cart would have surfaced by now. Agree that they probably had all the art work ready to go on some of these. Maybe a few prototype boxes and carts were made.

I really thought Flapper existed as a classic release but you're probably right...

What about the lost 20th Century Fox games? We know Porky's and M*A*S*H surfaced but where are Crash Dive, Ripper and Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes?

Actually, I have a dealer price list for Romox. Flapper is not on the list which is probably the real reason why I removed it.


I don't suppose anyone here would be interested in the scan of the list.

I think that some people here might be very interested.

Actually, the reason that I mentioned Jabberwock is that it does appear on a price list, as being ready to ship.

However, it's certainly a long shot, hoping to find previously undiscovered Romox games. But we want to catalog as near as possible to everything, so "long shots 'R' us".

Re-reading my post, I didn't mean to imply that I have the original doc, only a scan which is a little fuzzy, but readable. Sent scan to Deathtrap.

Jabberwocky is indeed listed as "in-stock". Flapper is not mentioned at all.

Thanks for the scan!

It looks very much like the one I remember seeing. Should have it posted this weekend, although there's a lot going on right now.
