    Beta Release Eye of the Beholder - Atari Lynx

    in Atari Lynx

    Posted

    Just wondering on how the original rom file was acertained. Was a shame this was never released back in the day. I can't imagine putting that much effort into producing something like this for it not to see the light of day.

    Not sure of the entire story. But you can trace the roots of me tracking down one of the original carts that were produced from harry way back in the day from a prototype cart that was found. Just check the history and you'll see lots of talk about EOTB.

    Now that they're out there I hope emulators begin to support save files.

    You know, I originally did half of a play through on a PSP through an emulator. I saved it through the emulator, not the actual game menu. It worked for my purposes. But then I wanted to play all the way through on real hardware to make sure it was solid and there were no issues. Worked fine.

    Actually I have had lots of conversations with many people on here, and information that is clearly confidential has always been kept that way, so suggesting otherwise is just an insult. Please explain what the top secret was with regards to you doing another cart release?!?!? The reason I released the ROM was because it was my initial intention to release it, and I held off - waiting for you, for like 2 f******* years!!! Sorry, I got bored waiting, it really is as simple as that! I thought you had just moved on and away from the scene. Anyway, no hard feelings - you really haven't lost anything because of the ROM release, if anything it pulled a lot of people in chasing me asking when you were releasing a new cart, so it had the opposite effect - just as I said it would.

    No worries man... please don't be offended as that is not my intentions. We've had numerous great conversations... this is just small potatoes. Honestly.

     

    Maybe I'll have you release my different version of Dgate out to the masses... lol

    Again... all is good. Don't get too wrapped up in this. :)

    Glad to hear you've completed your training! And it is nice to see you back here =D

     

    That said, I cannot help but feel a couple of those comments are directed at me, so I feel like an explanation is required. You mention you have mixed feelings about the ROM being released, which is odd because you said you were going to release it a few years back, after your final release. I was quite patient waiting for you to come back to do another run but eventually I just assumed you weren't going to return. I apologize if I have caused problems there with your plans to release the ROM, and to do this final run.

     

    With regards to communicating to people via email, again I cannot help but feel this is directed at me. When someone emails me and talks about their plans, unless the plans are super secretive or they have expressed that what I am told should not be shared, and provided that the information is not sensitive or could cause problems in any way, I share the information where appropriate. For example, if I write to a developer about a fix for a game and they tell me it will be released in the next few months, I share that information with the community that wants to know. In the case of EOTB, you stated on a few occasions you would be doing a final run, and I thought that would be OK to share with the community. If you class that as "speaking for you" you are mistaken, I simply passed on news relevant to the community.

     

    I have mixed feelings about you releasing the ROM knowing that I am putting another release out there. It was in bad taste. Kinda like when Chris was selling $200 versions of the game because he got a handful made right when I did the first release. But at this point, it doesn't matter. People want a playable cart for their collection rather than just a ROM. That's what I've been seeing. It was bad timing, that's all. No one else in this community that had the ROM for years did what you did. Even when you posted it; you were hesitant. Again; moot point now. Bad timing when you did it.

     

    Emails: I don't like people speaking FOR me, which I do classify what you did as such. If you and I are having a sidebar conversation within an email or a PM; I would trust that that conversation stays with you. What you did was basically inform me that I can no longer have that trust and others need to be super specific about talking to you in emails as well; or they will find that you regurgitated it everywhere.

     

    So... all of that said; a simple PM to say all of this would have been fine. There's nothing to hash out, because I do not have a problem with you. Your timing was just awful....lol

     

    Play games and be merry!!!!!! :)

    Hmm... I suppose I should have played it a bit more. I'll fire up the ROM and try it out again. I recall it being annoying enough I deemed it not worth playing after s period of time.

     

    I did NOT play multiplayer. That likely could have changed my opinion! I'll give it s shot again.

    The RP game was really hyped. I recall playing it a few times and runs didn't score correctly. To me, that type of "glitch" means the games was unplayable. Wasn't there also a glitch where if you scored ten runs or something, it would only show a score of 0 and you'd lose, even though you really won?

     

    It was an ambitious project, I'll agree it's more than a demo, but it was unfinished/unpolished.

     

    EOTB did meet my expectations and actually surpassed them with its gameplay, depth and being fully complete. It has the bonus quests built into the game just like the SNES version. I never expected that. I think it's a difference of opinion on the two games. Me being a huge baseball fan, growing up and playing games like RBI Baseball and Baseball All Stars, spoiled me. This one left me flat

    How so?

    I think I built that game up to be more than I I should have. I was hoping for a really good game. There are good parts to it, however, it is a buggy game that is not fully complete. It is more than a demo, but still an unfinished and unpolished game.

    Activision 41 game lot (most blue text labels) Skiing Blue Text

    It looks like my $7 offer for skiing was no good LOL

     

    Anyone else make an offer?

     

    I thought u weren't looking for ebay prices

    Looks like your trying pretty hard to sell it for a high price?

    So you are critizing me because I want to sell a game?

    I simply forgot about your message, but $7 is not a good offer for Skiing Blue Text label in my opinion.

     

    I'm looking to clear games out. But I'm not giving them away. Listing it in a lot of 40 other may not be the best choice, but it is a choice I made. I've given quite a few people great deals. There's no need to be upset.
