I had "that" roll of color film I found in the bottom of my camera bag when I decided I needed to shoot film again.
Since I had picked up a Unicolor kit last week and had good results with the first roll I ran through it I decided to see what, if anything, was on the old roll of film
Fuji 200, been in the bottom of the closet for 12-13 years at least so that's the first big strike.
Followed the same procedure per the instructions as I did with the first roll.
Film came out looking pretty sad with mostly opaque base and looking like maybe it hadn't fixed. I did have a couple of images at the start of the roll which showed me that this was the roll I was shooting when the old AE-1 malfunctioned and caused me to put it all away.
Anyway, I hung it up to dry anyway.
Came back tonight and the this is what I've got.

This part of the roll was unexposed in the camera as when the problem happened I had only shot a few frames. the entire roll looks about like this.



I did have a couple of images but barely enough for my scanner to pick up.
backlit through a sheet of paper.

Thanks, I'm kind of hoping it was due to the age of the film and that my chemicals are still good. I'll have a fresh roll to try tomorrow hopefully.
Nothing important since I'm still trying to learn this stuff.

I developed 5 old rolls of fuji 200, that had been sitting in a box for about 10 years. 2 of them showed clear images, one faint ones, and the other two looked like yours. A sort of brown tint to it, and not much in them. One of the rolls that showed clear images is the one I developed last, so I know the chems were good.
