Xari Arena ?-??-83
This is an early prototype for Xari arena. While an actual
prototype for this version has not yet been found (if it was ever
burned onto EPROMs), it was featured in the Atari In-House Promo
2nd Quarter 1983 video which was made to show other Atari
employees what everyone was working out at the time. This
version seems close to the 5/10/83 version, but has some minor
differences in the status area.
The status bar shortens Player 1/2 to simply P1/P2.
The reason for this is to make room for the Wave counter and the
fact that the word Xaris in the Xari score counter isn't written
above the score, but rather next to it. It's also
interesting to note that Xaris is written in all caps in this
version.
Note how XARIS is in all caps?

And the wave counter in the status
bar?

Beyond that, the game seems very
close to the 5/10/83 demo

This is the later version for
comparison
