An interesting prototype has turned up

The game is called Meteors, and is either a clone of Venture Line's Space Force/Meteoroids, or the original. Which one it is, is currently unknown and is being investigated. The only differences I see, besides the on-screen info, is that the monitor in Meteors is horizontal, whereas the orientation in VL's games is vertical.

The game has an interesting history, and set a legal precident about the copyrighting of genres. More information and a video of the game is at the page linked above.

I asked on the YouTube page of the video for more information, as I'm intrigued by this new mystery...

While you're there, check out the Q*Bert prototype that some lucky collector snagged... for $425.

Yes... $425...
