已發現新的未發布 Atari 2600 原型 Fish

上週，有消息指出最近在 Atari Coin-Op 部門的 VAX/VMS 備份磁帶上發現了一款新的、未發布的 Atari 2600 原型機

A previously unreleased Atari 2600 prototype has been discovered on a VAX/VMS backup tape from Atari's Coin-Op Division and is now available to play.

在 Atari 的 Coin-Op 部門的 VAX/VMS 備份磁帶上發現了之前未發布的 Atari 2600 原型，現在可以玩了。

The news was shared on the Atari forum Atari Age by the user Dutchman2000, who discovered the game.

該消息是由發現該遊戲的用戶 Dutchman2000 在 Atari 論壇 Atari Age 上分享的。

"Little is known as to who programmed it or how it ended up on a VAX," they wrote, adding that the only available information is the filename "Fish" and a potential build date of 22nd December 1983.

他們寫道：「很少有人知道它是誰寫的，或者它是如何最終出現在VAX 上的。」他們補充說，唯一可用的信息是文件名“Fish”和可能的構建日期為1983 年12月22 日。

However, as some have noted, this date could just as easily be when the game was copied over to the backup system.

然而，正如一些人指出的那樣，這個日期也可能是遊戲複製到備份系統的日期。

The game sees players take control of a small fish, with the goal being to eat various creatures and objects onscreen to move on to the next wave and try to rack up the highest score possible. As you attempt to do this, though, you will often find yourself having to dodge bigger fish, who will frequently appear onscreen to try to swallow you instead.

在遊戲中，玩家控制一條小魚，目標是吃掉螢幕上的各種生物和物體，進入下一波並嘗試獲得最高分。然而，當你嘗試這樣做時，你經常會發現自己必須躲避更大的魚，它們會經常出現在螢幕上試圖吞掉你。

Obviously, by today's standards, Fish is remarkably simple in both its design and execution, but it's remarkable to see old games like this get discovered decades later, especially considering this one seems to have come completely out of nowhere.

顯然，按照今天的標準，《Fish》的設計和執行都非常簡單，但看到這樣的老遊戲在幾十年後被發現是很了不起的，特別是考慮到這款遊戲似乎完全憑空出現。

You can download the game now from the Atari Age forums, or watch some footage of it above from the Retro YouTuber Into the Vertical Blank.
