    We will Be Selling Space harrier on Cart for $44.95 usd.

     

    That means we will be covering the packing materials, Label, Toner, and the cost of the cart with about $6 to spare (which we would still like to send to sheddy) =).

     

    Great! I want one :)

     

    -Sega's Concern-

    They Don't care! Period.

    We have asked them on a couple of occasions about producing games on the 8-bit platform (OutRun for Example). their response is that they consider the 8-bit a DEAD PLATFORM. So Projects of this kind are not a concern to them. Namco and Nintendo have given us Similar Responses to our queries. especially Since the amount of sales do not amount to enough to bother wasting the money to come after this kind of project.

     

    Really good news. I usualy didn't receive any responses from the big companies :/

    And I'm afraid the SH's copyrights belongs to Sega :/

     

    Yes. Some people do have problems to see the difference here. Producing a game with a copyrighted background and give it away free, will cause no problems.

    Make a bundle to sell it, could result in big problems. Renaming Bomb Jake (for example) does not save it from some copyright issues.

     

    Yes, I know. I tried to contact with Tehkan (BJ's copyrights owner) twice. Unsuccessfully.

    So I decided to make a small homebrew cartridges bundle. I know that this is a risk but BJ is a great game and I really tried to be fair.

    Next two copies for sell:

    eBay Seller: nosty31?ff3=10&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

     

    I have only 3 NTSC copies more.

     

    Nosty,

     

    you have any Hobgoblin or Robbo left to post on ebay? you should make more!

     

    I can't make more Hobgoblin copies cause I have permision from Dave Parsons for 70 copies only.

    I can make 50 copies Robbo Forever more (up to 150 copies total) but I have no free time now.

     

    nothing in life can be more important then atari!

     

    I don't agree :P

    My 10-months old son is more important for me now :)

    This game deserve a good package, like GR8 Software ones!

     

    Thank you Philsan :)

    Congratulations Sheddy! Your game looks really amazing.

     

    SH is the most wanted Atari game now, so every publisher wants to publish this title.

    Unfortunately I have no spare time for my hobby at all. So I was forced to suspend my GR8 Software activity for some time.

    And I'm afraid the SH's copyrights belongs to Sega :/

    Nosty, can you offer faster shipping on ebay? it says delivery jan. 5-10th? If I win we'd like to get it before xmas? How much to ship to USA by airplane instead of rowboat?

     

    Hehe I had problems with setting shipping options and cost on US eBay :)

    7USD is for AIRMAIL from Poland to USA not for rowboat :D It takes about one week, max to 10 days. So I believe you can enjoy the game before Xmas.

    Are there sound effects available with the NTSC version, or must they be turned off, as with the music?

     

    Sound effect are available for NTSC and PAL.

    The music plays on title screen for both systems too.

    But the game automatically detect video system and turn off music during game for NTSC.

  11. Posted

    Hello,

    Finally, we made a working, stable and tested Bomb Jake cartridge for NTSC.

    Bad news is that the music must be off when you playing game on NTSC

    machine. I can compensate this inconvenience for players from USA and other

    NTSC countries by extra CD-Audio with music from game.

     

    The BJ NTSC version exists since a few months. But I have only 10 complete assembled BJ NTSC cartridges :(

    I planed to made next 100 copies but unfortunately I have no free time for my hobby at all. :( So I was forced to suspend my GR8 Software activity for some time. I'm really sorry.

     

    I really want to make more NTSC copies but I don't know if it will be possible. Maybe in 2011... I don't know :/

     

    So I don't want to wait longer. 9 BJ NTSC copies (Extended Edition numbered from 22 to 30) will be for sale on eBay this week. The NTSC cartridge is black now for distinguish from PAL only version.

    I'll start one auction every day.

     

    Extended edition (EE) includes now:

     

    * cartridge compatible with NTSC and PAL video systems,

    * multilingual manual (Polish, Czech, English, German),

    * plastic card with unique copy number and Vega (Bomb Jake coder) autograph,

    * poster (A3 format),

    * postcard,

    * CD-Audio,

    * Corina cartridge leaflet,

    * box with colour dust-cover,

    * Bomb Jake tippet with embroidered logo.

    Hi,

    I came across this price list:

     

    Atari Cartridge Price Listing

     

    Hope you find it useful.

     

    Thanks, but prices for Atari 400/800/XL/XE rare carts should be much higher IMHO.

     

    For example:

    Assalut Force 3-D - $50 (should be $100),

    Boulder Dash - $60 (should be $100),

    Karateka - $10 (should be $40 or higher),

    Fort Apocalypse - $55 (should be $80),

    Espial - $40 (should be $100),

    Summer games - $14 (should be $40),

    Decathlon - $8 (should be $30),

    Super Zaxon - $50 (should be $100),

    Topper - $35 (should be $100),

    Good work! But I have a few comments:

     

    1.

    "Atari Games 1" and "Atari Games 2"

    http://www.pitfalljones.com/0800-cartpic-big/atarigames1.jpg

    http://www.pitfalljones.com/0800-cartpic-big/atarigames2.jpg

    are arabic homebrew cartridges.

    See: http://nosty.neostrada.pl/kolekcja/arabskie/Atari_arabic_multigames2.jpg

    I don't have these cartridges but I took this picture from seller from Egypt.

    So these titles should be erased from the list. I can make today 10 new "collectons" like this... ;)

     

    2.

    "Dawliah" is not a game title. This company (exactly: "aDawliah") made arabic Atari cartridges.

    I have 3 arabic cartridges and I have the pictures a few more.

    See my article (and pictures) about this:

     

    http://atarionline.pl/v01/index.phtml?subaction=showfull&id=1184283958&archive=&start_from=20&ucat=6&ct=wynalazki

     

    3.

    I never seen these cartridges:

    "Europen Countries & Capitals" (Atari),

    "Music Box" (Atari),

    "Rock and Rhythm" (Spinaker),

    "Sammy Lightfoot" (Sierra),

    "Success With Math" (Atari),

     

    Do you have any pictures or sources of informations?

     

    4.

    "Expando-Vision" - Stimultech

    Atarimania says that exists a few different cartridges from Stimultech:

    http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=8&type=G&publisher=2042&step=25

    I have seen 2 of these carts on eBay not long ago.

     

    5.

    "Mr. Do!'s Castle" don't look as a prototype. I have this one. As Atarimania says it is a rare canadian release:

    http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-mr-do-s-castle_3569.html

     

    6.

    I found "Hobgoblin' (GR8 Software) on the list. But GR8 released "Robbo Forever" and "Bomb Jake" too.

    http://gr8.atari.pl/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=5&Itemid=28&lang=en

    I'm pretty sure! :)

     

    7.

    I have information (and pictures) about several others rare cartridges. I'll make a list.

  22. Posted

    Some are copyrighted yet - all games from my company (Sikor Soft), all games from First Star Software (Boulder Dash), some from Activision... Some are abandonware, if I know (for example all games from Mirage Software, LK Avalon...).

     

    As I know there is no "abandonware" term in polish law.

    But sometimes the copyright owner can release his software to public domain.

    Trust me, HG2 is too easy now. Too many strong weapons, too easy way... We want to balance it only.

    Some people finished HG1 without immortality.

    How about adding an Easy mode? I know some people who "hate" HG1 for being too difficult and I couldn't make it too far either. :-)

     

    I love very difficult games but maybe this is a good idea. I'll talk with XXL about it.

    Will it be NTSC compatable as well or does it have problems like Bomb Jake?

    When can we order?

     

    We will test HG2 very carefully, I promise. So I believe HG2 will work on NTSC like HG1.

    Deadline is May 1.
