Thwocker

Thwocker was one of the long lost Activision prototypes that finally surfaced when it was found a thrift shop along with some other prototypes. Like most other unreleased Activision games, Thwocker was never mentioned in any catalogs or announced at any gaming expos. Written by Charlie Heath, Thwocker was described as 'Joust with musical instruments'. According to Heath the game was only around 80% complete when development was cancelled. Thwocker (along with Kabobber) were victims of the collapsing videogame market in 1984. It was around this time that Activision decided to get out of the 2600 market and concentrate on home computers games instead.

This prototype contains graphics from the Atari 8-bit computer prototype version of Pastfinder: Explorer.
