  1. Oh Good GRIEF! I certainly hope this works out. Wish you the best of luck. Looks like Wednesday will be the day I at very least find out more.

    I was lucky and had a head start from playing gutair. Me too...29 years. 30 years here. Check out hiredgunnz.com. Go to the audio page for the demo we just did (crappy mp3 compression). Cover stuff for now but writing material for a CD. Boy... what a shameless off topic plug

    I think there's a slight bit of exaggeration there... Ask the guys who released Iron Soldier Beta or FFL Beta if they could make carts in 10 minutes. It's more like 10 hours a piece! NO, it's not that bad. If you are soldering the proms to the board only, then yes ten minutes. Adding label casing and test and boxed another 5-10(depending on how long you 'test' them.) It's not fun for one guy though when you need to do a run of them. my hands bleed after a while I got calises 1/4 inch thick and I still bleed. I don't even notice when I burn myself anymore Me too....I've built a nice hard layer of dead skin on my finger tips over the years.

    Guys....please dont copy and burn games you know will cause trouble in the community. It serves no one any good purpose.

    Because despite what some say building a Jag cart takes a whole 10 mins tops. So you can have a manufacturer make you a PCB, have a mail order deliver you chips and cart shells, have the labels and the prininting and testing and all that in 10 minutes? That is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY fast then. No I mean to recycle old carts. The new PCB, new shell route does take ALOT longer and is much more expensive. But as far as labels go they print out just as fast as the printer allows. I can get you die cut if you like but you will need to buy at least 500 sheets (about 6 labels on each page), other wise you gotta cut by hand. Ok, so you do indeed understand the difference between a hobby and a real production of carts....scared me there for a minute.

  9. dont expect an answer tommorow...it will be a while as he needs to research what exactly Midway still owns on that title.

    Let that be a lesson to everyone.

    The real problem is you would be stealing from Diabetes charity... I know for a fact, doug after cost puts every dime to his charity. We may not like the pricing, but good work is being done as a result of it.

    I would not hold him to such a promise as like I have said, carts are a complete nightmare for a small out let to deal with. Remember, people have to solder chips have boards made, buy eproms and all that. It not like a CD you but in a drive and burn, put in a case and ship off. No maybe If I could talk them into CD-izing BS...that would be delish!!!! I's still pay the $100 dollars for it for the cause.

    The game will piss you off no doubt, but you'll want more...strange creatures us vid games fans...
  16. Why troll? Why float all over the net to troll? There is so much more better things one can do to spend his time. Like write Jag games for instance. Mark Morrison of Midway contacted me via e-mail...we will talk today on the phone and discuss Gorf rights!!! Say some prayers!!! I will report the info as I am able on the usual forums.
  17. Well Ms. Blackwell sounded like it was not at all an unreasonable request but, who knows just exactly who she is in the company. I belive she is just an IP clerk, who actually goes and digs up IP info. She said she was handing it off to her attorney and urged me to get it to her before he left for a business trip. So that at least came across positive. Im sure this will delay things a while as I dont expect to here back from them anytime soon. Im sure the Midway attorneys haev a lot more stuff to research than my request to put out a title they probably dont even realize they own.
  18. No one is either forcing you to read them or to come here. If you are so annoyed why bother?

    LOL! Dont feel bad dude.. I love 3D shooters and I too suck at it...BUt man do I love it. Worth the cost of admission fur shur.
  20. The other problem is these announements would not need to be made if it were not for people like yourself, Orion, with an axe to grind, for whatever reason.
  21. When you have important and major turns of events occur in a situation, it´s pretty much the the thing to do to start a new thread. That way you know the message gets out. I don´t understand why you have a problem with this. It's got NOTHING to do with Gorf or the amount of post...it has everything to do with me personally. Most who know our past know EXACTLY what I am talking about here. However, I do not wish to casue any trouble over this, as I am sure Albert would appreciate that, so let's ignore this pettiness...after all it was just an announcement to imform and I'd hate to see it turn to crap for no good reason.
  22. Well you see Orion, I try to keep those who might be interested informed and as up to date as possible. I know you like to follow me around the forums to be the con, and that's cool. But man it seems you follow me every where. I 'm being cyber stalked for goodness sake! DOH!
  23. Well...no news is good news and until I here one way or the other, let's just hope for the best.
  24. Here is why..... Due to a few trouble makers, bringing up the IP issue on Gorf AGAIN, I have put the release on hold. One trouble maker told me he reported me to Midway's ip department. I laughed as I have been trying to get someone there for quite some itme now...well.... Though I am quite sure thos person expressing his displeasure with this release(obviously he hates a good cause) , is doing so only becasue he does not like me, I will shut him up and again do the right thing. Knowing I have to do what is right (with the fringe benefit to trump this problem causer and whatever his agenda toward/against me might be) I will hold off. Why? Becasue, after this person went off on me...I made a round about effort to get ahold of someone and I have finally contacted Midway. Instead of trying the IP department, I went to another department and worked my way around till I got Angel blackwell on the line. I explained what I wanted to do and she said she would be more than happy to give my request to the Midway IP lawyers. So I did just that. I wrote out an entire e-mail explaining what I want to do. She told me she thought it was noble idea and I told her it could be if she would help me. So I sent the e-mail to her and she told me it will be give to the attorney immediately. Im waiting on their reply, after explaining the situation to them. If this does not pan out, I will do something else some how to raise dough for this cause. Thought I feel the jerk complaining was doing it for alterior reasons and not out of concern for Midway's IP, he is right. I have to be clean and consistant. I will do something like I said if this does not pan out. Everyone start praying....(or crossing your fingers for you non-believers I guess...lol.) Who knows...perhaps i'll sick all of you on midway and have you guys start a letter writing campaign to let me go ahead with this...not just yet though, for all you trigger happy types. Gorf is now, truly, in Midways hands, and I have to say I already feel much better about contacting them. Do or die, I did what was right. I know other doors will open if this one closes. I am truly sorry for all of you that were looking foward to this if it does not pan out but I will do something in it's stead.
  25. Again, as much as I'd love to produce carts, the likelyhood is small. If we bother, we will want to get as much as we can and they will not be cheap. Im looking at around $75 to $100 dollars each. There wont be a very big run of these either if at all. That price is also based on suggestions from some of you who understand the weight of this release. Any normal cart from us would NEVER go that high, unless it had some worthy tech. This however is for charity. If carts happen, you will all certainly be informed.
