  1. If you understood what happened, you probably would have a different outlook on this. Go back a few pages and Albert explains exactly what happened. It wasn't planned this way.

    I did. When promising a limited run to your customers, if you happen to find more copies the one thing you don't do is sell them. How is this complicated? Keep them in your house, burn them, do something that ensures they don't get sold so that my copy doesn't get devalued. There is only one thing he could possibly do with those extra boxes which would upset anyone, out of all the possible things he could do with them. And he chose to do that one thing, what are the odds of that? I'd need a calculator to figure it out.

     

    If the printer sends him a box with 1000 more copies in it by mistake is he going to sell those too? It's his job to make sure the run is limited to 100. I don't care how.


  2. i dont understand peoples complaining. You paid REGULAR price for the game. The other copies are being sold for REGULAR price. Unless you are trying to be greedy and sell your game for collectors prices, why are you bitching? Allowing more people the chance to own a copy at the SAME price you paid for it is a good thing. Again if you are not a greedy ebay pos....

     

    It is not a good thing, value is about exclusivity. What if Nintendo Power made another 1000 Nintendo World Championship cartridges and started selling them tomorrow? If you owned one and just paid $20,000 for it would you be happy about it? Well I own a boxed Princess Rescue which I don't even have in my possession yet and already it's devalued as a collector's item because of a second run which was never supposed to happen. How many recently developed games have I purchased for the Atari? One. How many other limited production runs have been done recently? None. I bought this one and only limited game BECAUSE IT'S LIMITED!

     

    If there are going to be more copies out there I don't want the one I have. It'll still be in the same unopened shipping box 5 years from now. What a waste.


  3. I think it might have been Swordquest but not sure.

     

    All I remember is that it was super hard and I got completely frustrated with attempting it. I've never actually made it through.

    There was a rainbox coloured stripe going up the screen and you had to slide through an opening in the stripe. Each time you make it through, you have to try again with a thicker stripe and smaller hole. And I remember something about a lion to do with it as well. There was also this crazy sound it made. Anyone know what this was/


  4. International shipping is so expensive now, I weighed them and kind of guestimated what it would cost. I could not give you an exact quote without actually packing them all up. You would be looking at $50-60

    Would you do them all with free shipping?

    If not, how much would shipping be for 1 or 2 boxes? Or possibly up to 5.


  5. So have you tried one of these USB capture devices? My guess is that you'd get a picture on your computer with it, but it might have a lot of lag for gaming.

     

    No but I'm quite familiar with how the firmware is written on the television itself. The USB ports will play specific file types but won't stream a continuous video.

    I'm researching how to write custom firmware for one of my 55 inch displays right now, it's just C code on an embedded Linux system and many of them have their own API you can interface with.
