I found a guy on eBay selling 7 in all and I managed to talk the price down to cover all 7. Breaking it up into 2 payments. Group one is posted below and a video to soon follow. When I get the rest ill post an update with the 2nd group. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy these hidden treasures.
In this lot includes : river raid, mega mania, qbert and James Bond 007

That they are. The River Raid and Mega Mania have HCS ( Home Computer Series ) on the label and were most likely the final versions as magazine reviewer copies, or in house reviewer copies. Same goes for the QBert ( 8K RLS.1 ) or Release version 1. Most likely a finished in house copy for other programmers to test out. The only actual Proto is the James Bond 007. which is a Work In Progress. The basic differences are the level selector so the programmer could jump levels to correct and test parts of the game out , and the fire button NOT working on the Good Luck screen (something corrected in the final version ).
Pretty cool items . And there are 3 more in the next 2 weeks coming my way 1 Activision and I think 2 more Parker Bros. titles. Which I will share when they arrive.

I might work on doing a video on the Protos/ Demos and 1 of a kind items of my collection. I might do that towards the end of the year if I remember to do so.

I'm surprised you think so, being as they aren't CIB
Those are pretty cool A8scooter. I watched your video in your blog as well. Nice finds.

Thanks, they are things you dont see everyday. Much harder to track down than Atari 2600 protos. Nintendo or SNES I dont know how hard it is to find those. I imagine not too hard since they are popular and probably have started to be leaked to the public.
