Road Runner

At least 4 versions of this prototype exist.  The earliest version was shown in Atari's promotional 2nd Quarter 1983 video (picture #1 and video).  The borders only have a total of 8 exists, instead of 14 on the later versions (picture #2).  The score counters also don't seem to be functional, with Road Runner's fixed at 100,000 and Wile E. Coyote's at 00.  Also missing is the high score counter and arrow, and the bird seed and counter.  The video mentions the goal is to get Road Runner to run into your traps.  The next-latest version, dated 5-27-83 (picture #3), has no sound and different colors on the title screen, than a later version, dated 6-3-83 (picture #4).
