Oh, cool!

Nice find! How complete is the game?

Awesome!  It seems like the 5200 has a lot of prototypes out there.

How many 5200-treasures are still hidden in the tides of time?
It's really a shame, that a finished game is withheld to the audience. Hopefully it will be published like Tempest.

Thank you for showing that little gem.

Per the above link, the 1/26/84 revision is essentially complete, with some missing scrolling instructions and a potential (rare) game-breaking bug.  The final version was also changed so that the bonus item appears after half the board is cleared, rather than after a designated time period.
 
ROM images of the final version and one of the early revisions (not sure which date) are floating around out there.  The final release is available for free download from AA.  I don't remember where I got the other one at the moment.
 
I *love* this game and wish it had been released back when it was finished!  Very cool to have one of the prototype boards, Lance -- I'm jealous for sure.

Surround 'Em is one of our latest games in progress. We are starting this discussion for all to view to see what we have done. We are not done with the Atari 8-Bit computer game yet, it has to be beta tested first. I think Surround 'Em would make a great 5200 game, and we are also in internal discussions if we are going to attempt to port the game over to the Atari 5200 and potentially to the Atari 7800 if there is a demand. 
 
Here is a video with an audio commentary describing one of Video 61's future game releases: "Surround 'Em!" Please feel free to watch it and comment on what you think. Thanks!
 
 

hi, yes it will. it will work on any stock 64k XL/XE atari 8-bit computer.
 
thanks for your interest.
