Video Game Based On The 1990 Horror Movie “IT” Discovered

San Diego California – Jeremy Marckowitz found an amazing discovery at a local Goodwill thrift store: An IT Prototype. The facts as we know it thus far:

  • Game was discovered at a San Diego Goodwill thrift store
  • The game was apparently programmed by Acclaim which released a number of media based titles for the original Game Boy
  • The title screen features the IT clown from the 1990 movie and is believed to be a Prototype as no IT game was officially released
  • The cartridge was in a plain Game Boy cartridge and the board appears to have a programmable EPROM on it
  • The game’s ROM has been successfully dumped, however, neither the cartridge or the ROM can be started with any of the buttons
  • The Gaming Free Press has reached out to prominent homebrew Game Boy programmers to provide us with analysis on the ROM.
