已发现新的未发布 Atari 2600 原型 Fish

上周，有消息称最近在 Atari Coin-Op 部门的 VAX/VMS 备份磁带上发现了一款​​新的、未发布的 Atari 2600 原型机

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 部门的 VAX/VMS 备份磁带上发现了之前未发布的 Atari 2600 原型，现在可以玩了。

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

该消息是由发现该游戏的用户 Dutchman2000 在 Atari 论坛 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.

他们写道：“很少有人知道它是谁编写的，或者它是如何最终出现在 VAX 上的。”他们补充说，唯一可用的信息是文件名“Fish”和可能的构建日期为 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样，这个日期也可能是游戏被复制到备份系统的日期。

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.

在游戏中，玩家控制一条小鱼，目标是吃掉屏幕上的各种生物和物体，进入下一波并尝试获得最高分。然而，当你尝试这样做时，你经常会发现自己不得不躲避更大的鱼，它们会经常出现在屏幕上试图吞掉你。

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.

显然，按照今天的标准，《Fish》的设计和执行都非常简单，但看到这样的老游戏在几十年后被发现是很了不起的，特别是考虑到这款游戏似乎完全凭空出现。

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.

您现在可以从 Atari Age 论坛下载该游戏，或者观看上面来自 Retro YouTuber Into the Vertical Blank 的一些视频。
