Behind Jaggi Lines 1-18-84

This is a late prototype of Rescue on Fractalus when it was still known as Behind Jaggi Lines.  While fully playable, this version is missing some of the polish of the final version.  This prototype is very similar to the Atari 8-bit version of Rescue on Fractalus that was circulated around pirate BBS sites back in the early 80's.

Thanks to Kr0tki for finding many of these differences.

 

Prototype Differences

The title screen says Behind Jaggi Lines!

The game starts up on the main title screen instead of the cockpit screen.

The cockpit screen does not show the game name on the top

The copyright message is different.   This version actually says 'Copyright' and makes the symbol out of two brackets and a C.  In the final version the word 'Copyright' is excluded and it has a real copyright symbol.

The long range scanner doesn't flash or beep when a pilot is near.

The game starts at level 1 instead of 4

The credits easter egg is missing

The words 'Demo Droid' are not displayed on the top of the screen when in demo mode

The text 'Stand By...' is a different shade of green

The text says 'SHIELDS ON/OFF' instead of 'SYSTEMS ON/OFF'

There is a bug where if you land and then pause and unpause the game the sound of the systems being on remain silenced.

 

Different title screen	Different copyright too
For some reason the 'STAND BY' text is a lighter shade of green	SHIELDS ON instead of SYSTEMS ON
