The cancelled Battlebots game

[MikeNCR]

yeah, you guys think that it would be possible to find the beta? maybe in some old THQ site...

If people found 7 Sonic 2 betas, they can find a proto for this game.

Good point- hopefully that might just be the case here, too. I mean, apart from the somewhat wonky physics, it appeared to be more-or-less complete.

Yeah... Except the fact that there are major differences between EPROMS containing a proto designed for the Genesis and something that was probably burned to a DVD-R and eventually destroyed when it got the ax. I do have to say that you are thinking in the right direction, at least.

I played the demo on the gamecube at Battlebots season 5, iirc. I think the demo had Toro, Ice Cube, Backlash and maybe one other bot able to be played on a bridge combat area.

Thanks.  Although, sis is more appropriate.

Ah, you're a girl? OK, the nickname should have tipped me off   

But even with my initial little mistake there, welcome to GTM, and I hope you enjoy your time here- I should introduce myself, too. I'm GF- one of the resident cool guys here

Hey, now...



Black Widow is Ellen, my girlfriend. Apparently she felt that it wasn't important enough to inform me that she made an account.

Prepare for World War 3.

Right- hopefully, my welcome was good enough to meet your standards

no, i was making a reference to Black Widow from the Avengers, which is an inside joke between me and Preytor.

I don't know what you interpreted it as, but whatever it was, probably no.

Ah, I see... I thought it was more of a "just jizzed myself" statement.

It was decent for the time. Seemed like they tried to balance the robots such that any one could beat any other one, which led to odd things like flippers and plows doing a good deal of damage.

Do you recall if you could flip other robots over the wall?  It looked like every arena except the Battlebox had no side barriers.

I didn't see it happen when I was playing it.
