Yeah, I also have no problems to wait. That said, its a pretty sad situation. I dont know anything about the communication and the problems, but its kind of heartbreaking that the best developers this console ever saw get stopped by something like that. Hopefully it solves out and we will get more Kai Magazine games in the future, cause as someone who really plays the games he buys I can not say it often enough: These are by far the best ones. There is nothing comparable, neither in the original 125, nor in any of the other new games.

Disclaimer: I ship from Germany. The price actually does include insured Shipping to the USA. If you are from the EU shipping might be a lot cheaper, just ask for a price. If you are from other countries, like China, it might be a bit more expensive, so I might have to add a few dollars. That said, the price does not include Custom fees or taxes, so keep that in mind, because I will declare the actual paid price on the parcel to avoid any problems in case it gets lost.
Due to Covid and the oversea shipping I cant give you any arrival date of course, but you'll receive the tracking ID. Payment is through PayPal Family and Friends only.
Here are pictures of the actual game for sell. It looks decent due to its age. It comes with the box (little rip off on the front, look at the helicopter), the inner tray, the manuel and the catalogue. I testet it today (17th of September) and it works perfect. The label of the cart is slightly peeling off due to bad glueing, its a common issue with Parker Releases.
Price: 160$, feel free to make reasonable offers.

I as inspired by that RGB Mod thread, but did not want to hijack it. I found some guy in a german board, who make me a sweet mod as well. Its RGB + Controller Ports.
I am a complete scrub, so may laugh but what impresses me the most is, that the original controllers are still 100% functional, despite the ports to connect Grips Arcade-Stick. Love it ♥

Hello @Kai_Magazine
I contaced you via mail, you responded me quickly, thanks
And I have to say some words to the upcoming concerns:
I cant really say that I know Joe, but if I had to deal with him he was awesome and generous and as we all know he has done incredible things for the Intellivision Community. I get that Kai_Magazine has to move on, they explained it very well and as a business you sometimes have to make descisions some may not like. So I completely get their point and wish them all the best, hopefully the situation solves soon and may we see us again in the future. I really would like it, because the games had extraordinary quality in my opinion and were always top notch.
But have not the slightest of fear in this situation as a customer. I am sure Joe will deliver, but sometimes real life is a bitch and especially in this pandemic situation it gets harder and harder for thousands of unforeseen reasons. I wish Joe all the best, but I have no doubt he will do his job. All the details in the background between Kai and Joe are nothing I concern, just not my business.
I hope I made clear what I wanted to say, English is not my first language and so it sometimes twists the sense a bit in the wrong direction xD

I am not in a hurry ^^ Pandemic makes things not faster.
By the way: Is there still anything planned for a CiB TNT Cowboy release?

I ordered today, didnt even heard of this one before... Yet another smashing game from the best developer on the intellivision!
-
Is there any way to tell of thats a real box or a reproduction box? The story sounds not very trustworthy
-
Well... I love signed stuff
And I really wondered if I saw it very early, or if thats really a niche no one else likes, because imo its a complete steal for that price... but I thought it much more when I bought the signed Intellivision Lives, which had a lot of signings on it from many different people, including Keith.

Thanks for the updates and don't worry, its completely fine of it takes a bit, if we stay informed about the status. Covid doesnt really help as well I guess
Looking forward to this game

For Sharp Shot, can I get a ruling on whether we need to see a "zero" on the other player's score, or if I'm allowed to pound on the 2nd player fire button to help with the respawn rate? I seem to be getting higher scores when doing the latter.
Edit - Looks like in prior seasons, folks were just doing single player (zero for the other score) and high scores are perfectly possible.
Maze high score appears to be 48 by Ignorama in season 9, by the way
In fact it seems that I hold three of the four records
Maze 48, Battleship 44 and Space 83. And as far as I remember the game was a RNG festival. So my advice: If a run starts bad, just reset. Not worth the time. But I think (!) maze was a bit different. Unfortunately I dont have time at the moment, but I think I remember that you could "manipulare" the RNG by shooting very early. This spawned more bugs... or whatever you are killing in this game.

Good News! If we get everyone pre-ordering that has asked for a copy, we will be able to print the boxes for TNT Cowboy, Ninja Odyssey, and A.F. as well!
Like Eastern and Christmas together, just better ?

They are well deserved and I dont have the reputation to say them lightly
But the games are really great and I hope to get them all in physical form one day, because they completely deserve it. And I really like the way of pre orders to cover the risk.

Played a few minutes, just til second floor and man, its just incredible again. Such awesome graphics, such great and fluid gameplay. I have to admit that I usw the Arcade Stick made by Grips, I guess it improves the gameplay a lot, but the game is again just amazing.
Well done Kai, you are really a gift for the community! Your games are probably the best ever made for this system.

Sorry if the question sounds silly, but how can I pay? ^^

Very late, but not surprising: I definitely support Pre Orders. TNT Cowboy is the best Intellivision game ever made in my Opinion and Kai a godlike programmer. Love to support him and get hands on physical copies of his games, which they so much deserve.
So I am in for every single pre order of his games.

Nice, I try to compete from time to time, depending on the games.

Well thanks, still a heck of a deal in my opinion, special place next to my signed Joe Zbiciak Flash-Cart.

I am completely unsure why no one got interessted in that. Was already online without any bid and even advertised here, feels like a steal tbh, but maybe I value completely different. Of course just if its not fake, but the seller has a good reputation and at least the signings I could find online look pretty legit.

A lot of people don't have a clue what it costs to produce the materials for these games. I've been criticized because I charged for the boxes to a cancelled game (rather than give them away)
If you are talking about Hover Bovver: You are criticized for threatening to destroy the boxes. I recall that very well, we had to buy two boxes instead of one, but you refused to sell them seperately. So in fact many people were willing to help you to cover the costs, but you just rejected it. And of course you were criticized for insulting your customers again and again. I thought we put that shit behind, but if you bring it back to light please dont change the situations.
I am so very sad about this, thought we were best buddies forever
QuoteRev sent me 25 boxes, manuals and overlays for these titles and I thought it was worth doing. If I am just pissing people off, maybe I should just throw them away. I have 50 blue shells, I suppose I could do them all on one title or just throw them away. Keith had them made when he was considering a release years ago. I think he was considering Deep Pockets before the bootleg came out and then just decided not to do anything. If I knew how to make more blue shells, we would have used them on the last releases.
And there again: The publisher who is rather threatening to throw stuf away. You have clearly many people who appreciate your work, sell it to them and make them happy. Just dont sell anything ever to me, instead of punishing a community, because you are not pleased with a single feedback. And it wouldnt be a problem at all, because I am not going to buy anything ever again from your store.
There were plenty ways to do it right. Yeah, you have these limited ressources, just make them "first comes, first served" and a "non limited" edition for the follow ups. Even of you just offer cart only it would be something I'll skip, but at least a chance for people who are wanting the games. No special shells needed, just use available ones. Or take pre orders, make a fair calculation to get your profit and sell more with more profit. Just dont be like a bee and rip the people off.
Yes, I am pissed off by these releases again and again. Our market is small, but its not as small as 24 and with releases like this you make it hard to impossible for collectors to stay in the game. In fact my goal was to collect all games once upon in time, but man did that goal get nosedived by special release here and there. And I highly doubt that I am the only one who nearly completely stopped collecting, because of the many, many wrong turns the business took over the last couple of years. So I also blame stuff like that (but of course not only by you) which made the already small marked even smaller over the years.

How did prove that we are not able to work with customers?
Just saying Overlay Packs. Took forever and many sets were incomplete.

Pre-order period for “The Sorrow of Gadhlan’ Thur” (Kai Magazine) for Intellivision begins.
in Intellivision / Aquarius
Posted · Edited by Ignorama
Regarding shipping box and cart on different times: I dont think its a good way, cause it probably causes a lot of more work for Kai_Magazine. Shipping is a time consuming process. I dont know how many got sold, but I guess its a number you actually need hours to pack all the games. And you also have to buy the materials and either bring them to the postal service, or organize that they pick the parcels up (which may isnt even possible in some countries/regions).
As a customer I would consider this option, depending on the additional costs, but I would like to safe Kai this work, because he doesnt really get anything out of it. So I am completely fine if he doesnt offer that.
The idea with making a price for the ROM and asking the paid pre orders if they would accept that price in the worst case of a refund crossed my mind as well. That said, is there any way to ensure the ROM is not spreaded for free? Because to be honest, even in the smallest projects you always have some black sheep to spit in the face of the developer. I was supporter of many NON PROFIT projects and not a single one hadnt at least a few dumbasses who resold the stuff for insanely high prices. That is the reason I did not mentioned this idea, cause I did not intended to cause any pressure. Because in the first moment the idea sounds easy and logical, but if there is no way to secure the copyright its Pandoras box and I'll be honest: I highly doubt it will stay closed.
