Look at this auction. Seems like there was a VIC version of the 2600 Porky's game, at least a prototype. Seller says he doesn't have a VIC to test it with. Price is stellar high. Believe him or not? :?

Probably same seller as mentioned in the thread 'Thorm EMI prototype carts?' (identical photos).

:oops: sorry guys - didn't notice that. So probably an hoax, isn't it?

As pointed out in the other thread, at that price the seller ought to provide proof the game works.

Two EPROMs on a PCB, even if it's a VIC-20 cartridge PCB by all appearances, don't tell anything.
