I am assuming this is a Joust Prototype. I tried doing a search for one, but didnt see it listed. Can someone confirm for me? I have no idea what to do for upkeep or play of one either and dont want to mess it up. If it is confirmed I guess this will be my first prototype.
The screws were the old style that you could unscrew with a small flat head screwdriver and they were not the security screws. That also leads me to believe it is more legit. I posted some pictures in my picture gallery area as well.
Also, what is up with the switch on the inside on the Board? I havent moved it, again, in fear I might be breaking something.
Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks!

Let me know if you have confirmed any that I need to add! Thanks!
Before it was opened up, it looked like this, which I think I had seen some prototype games look like this too. .
edit- oh and the date on the Board is 1986 and I think I saw a list somewhere where this game was released OCT of 1988, so that would also make sense.

If anyone is LOOKING for certain repro/homebrews, I have a running repro company thread going as well as a lot of extras myself which include Limited Editions as well. I'm also free to help answer questions and point people in the right direction so never hesitate to ask! Here is the current list of repro companies. Please let me know if I need to update it:

Mr. Mark, I did post a breif how obtained in that list of members with protos just in case it is determined one. It was obtained in the Dallas area. When I opened it up it had a very old piece of tape (with a black hair i might add) that wasnt really holding that switch in place anymore probably because of the lack of adhesion from age I assume. I might have to pay the local gameshop a visit again and write down any info he might have on it. If the girls got store credit that traded it in, the store credit would have been put on their driver's license, so I wonder if he would be able to release their info to me or not to see if we can get anymore info on it. The store manager did tell me the girls grew up seeing that kind of stuff around and he was a programmer back in the day, so I'd imagine it probably is legit. I'd really like to try and get in contact with them to see if they maybe had anymore info or that stuff laying around. It is a shame the original creator/ownerof this passed away and cant fill us in on more.

Haven't played it. Didnt want to potentially mess it up. Do I need a top loader because the chips stick out a little? I dont have one of those yet. I do have a regular copy of the game though, so I probably could compare limitedly.

Being that I know very little of the process and what all is involved, I'm going to PM you guys to fill me in. It sounds like something I would be interested in doing. I just want to know what all is involved. Thanks!
