JustJeff2 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I guess my estimate of $3,500 was off a tad bit. Wow, 5 G's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) wait a minute -- where did you get roaring 20's -- I don't remember that. I designed it to be bonnie and clyde after the movie by the same name. we were told to build games based on movies given that 20th century fox owned the company Yet when it came to ship the game the loosers at the top could not get the rights. Bill, Here's the Roaring 20's announcement: AFAIK the WIP names of Bank Heist were: Bonnie and Clyde Holdup Roaring 20's BTW: were you indeed the programmer of Monstercise and Peek A Boo?

Tempest Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Here's the Roaring 20's announcement: AFAIK the WIP names of Bank Heist were: Bonnie and Clyde Holdup Roaring 20's Thanks for finding that, I knew I saw it somewhere. BTW: were you indeed the programmer of Monstercise and Peek A Boo? I talked to Bill about Peek a Boo and he said he didn't do it. I think his name got associated with it because there is an internal memo that had his name written in next to it. Of course that doesn't mean that he did it, it could just be that they were thinking about assigning him to it or something of that nature. I forgot to ask about Monstercise, but something tells me that he didn't do that one either... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsinspace Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well, congratulations! Now about that Sweet Pea... Hi all -- bill here again yes - the auction completed and a lot of last minute bidders. Still waiting for payment but hope to have it shipped to its new owner soon.

You guys will be the first to know!! thanks for everyone help. bill a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will correct this asap.

Paranoid Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I was just checking out the images on the eBay bid... The thing is just a converted 5200 box, isn't it? I mean, I'm not doubting the authenticity of the item - it just looks like the engineers used a 5200 shell for the basic case of the 2700.

Alison DeMeyer Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I always loved Pigs in Space. It had excellent gameplay and very good graphics. We used to play it for hours, all three games were tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was the other way around. 5200's case design came from the 2700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammR25 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 It would be interesting to see what is found out about the Sweet Pea value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Makes sense (the 2700 predating the 5200), but things were so weird at the end, you never know, especially with how long the 2600 lasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, no, we actually know. The 2700 was first and its design was used for the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
