There is just something precious about this. I have had all positive dealings with Pikachu0_7 but this is just way too funny.

ChromaDepth 3D glasses can give games an interesting look of 3D. They put some colors in the background and bring some forward. They might offer some effect of Star Strike and a few other games where changing colors add a "3D" look. I have never tried ChromaDepth game playing. I have for other "activities". :ponder:

 

I might have to give it a try. I wonder if active glasses and the 2 to 3D simulation build into the TV would do anything. LOL

 

Chromadepth is kinda cool. Be fun to build that into a game.

There was talk about that here a few years ago but nothing ever came of it (yet). If you search you will find the topics. The sequel to Space Patrol was to make use of it but i'm not sure if LTO is still making it or not.

I gotta have Commando CIB someday, its one of my favorites.. it deserves it. So far I have cart and manual.. just need a box. ;)

I just got the cart last month. Had the manual from a random lot of stuff for years though. Really loved playing it the last couple of weeks when taking a break from Piggy Bank, lol.

 

I got tired of seeing it always going for over $50 or with boxes in really bad condition. So I just picked up a cart cheap and made my own repro box for it. Great game!

Ohh..another repro box.. well that would do in my case ;) I'd like to see some more boxes. If you start doing boxes for folks here, send me a pm. Commando is a great game, I got both cart and manual cheap too. It and Piggy are going to need boxes soon. :)

I love that this game is being played. I can't help but think the Baggie had something to do with that. Allowing play without "breaking" a seal. I am also grateful that so many people think highly enough of Piggy Bank to want Piggy in a box. Thank you!!!

 

DISCLAIMER:

 

I have asked that the Piggy Boxes not be made for profit or in a large run because of IP issues. I have no problems with people adding home-brew boxes to their collections but selling them in bulk makes them "kind of" official. So know that Blah Blah Woof Woof or it's IP holders have nothing to do with these boxes and we are not making money off them.

 

Posting a do it yourself, build your own box doesn't bother me but it does some of my partners including my Wife and our IP Attorney. Please be respectful. I too at first got caught up in the wanting CIB. But our first goal is to make fun games. A box is just lipstick on a pig if the game sucks.

 

The less I know of this the better. Please don't use Piggy Bank© as a profit maker for boxes.

 

Our next release will also be a baggie and if we get a similar response to that as Piggy Bank© our third Original game will come CIB. If it requires overlays it will have them. If it doesn't most likely we will not make them.

 

I'm new to the ways of Video games but it seems like the use of the Intellivision Stylized Type would be Intellectual Property still owned by someone, as is Piggy Bank and post-35882-0-40658400-1448392882_thumb.png. I would be hesitant to use it in designs of a game release.

 

It has cost me, over the course of years thousands of dollars to hold and protect our Registered Trademark. The fact that the Intellivision Stylized Type Logo has been allowed to be used so often in the releases of games, that mark has been put into jeopardy. Maybe it has been already been abandoned? Maybe use was granted, I don't know. I've never asked to use that mark from any of the IP holders so I don't know. I only know is that you must defend your mark to keep it.

 

Our boxes will be completely different. It is for a retro console but a new game and we hope our look will be reflective of 2015 not 1980. That said you can't do much with Pixelled Pigs....

 

Thanks everyone. I'm just trying to do everything right and cover my ass!

for me this unofficial box of Piggy Bank is becoming more official every time you show it :)

 

Well to be clear, this is just my renegade box made from things posted in the Piggy threads. BBWW added some suggestions to make it look better and to protect his trademark but it was never intended to be anything official and is not something produced by Blah Blah Woof Woof Music and Media, who are the creators of the game. There was some discussion of having some good quality prints of the box produced but there are too many questions surrounding trademark protection. BBWW as a company has real world concerns outside of our corner of the gaming world and those have to be considered and protected first. It's better for all of us to have them able to continue producing cool games and not risk their other endeavors and livelihood over what is an unnecessary extra perk for our games.

 

The box was all just for fun :)
