    I predict around $650 which is still incredibly tempting.

    I'll take the over. It has the box and upcoming stimulus checks will boost the final sales amount even if they haven't arrived. I think it will be closer to $1,000 than $650.

     -- almost carries an "artisan/hand-crafted" kind of connotation to me now -- and although any game that's released for a system without paying royalties is probably technically "homebrew"...  I definitely understand their aversion to the word.

    When I describe games currently being made to people who aren't into older games, I generally describe them as "boutique" releases. Very similar to your artisan description.

    fixed spelling error

    I watched a good portion of the video and they didn't seem bitter. I think sometimes we create controversy that isn't really there (this isn't intended at any one person). The game seems incredible, Dan Kitchen has been around here for awhile and is an amazingly nice guy, and they didn't dismiss the work of anyone else. I with them the best of luck and hope they are successful enough to keep at it for many games to come.

      And also that it was pretty much the only MLB team in the southeast in 1983.

     

     

    Yeah, even growing up in the midwest, I was surprised that there weren't any MLB teams in Florida given its population, spring training home for most teams back then and the popularity of baseball in Caribbean in general. Hard to believe the Braves were the only team around and that they were in the National League West with the Reds while the Cubs and Cardinals were in the East lol.

    That's really interesting. I wonder why they paired Seattle and Atlanta also. I guess there weren't enough National League teams in the Northwest. I also noticed that there was another version with Baltimore and Atlanta paired together. Maybe Atlanta was a popular choice due to all their games being broadcast on TBS.

    It's not possible to contact the seller from the item page, otherwise I'd have told him that if someone is foolish enough to pay this amount, he should at least have the decency to donate a substantial part of the proceedings towards Curt's daughter's education fund.

    There's a contact member link on the seller information page. I'm guessing it's just a lack of awareness of how it comes off though. I bought a high score cart for about $200 (iirc) prior to Curt's passing (maybe a year or two ago) and I thought that was a fair price for the seller and me. I'm not sure what the market value would actually be today since we don't see it very often.
