The difference is that I don't go around taking cheap shots whenever possible at the people who do good things for the hobby (in this case, the CGE guys). Do you think Saunders' rants are o.k.? If not, why do you get up in arms when I defend the other side? If you have a beef with me, I'll be happy to tangle with you. I don't think it should come to that though. I see Sean Kelly from CGE has responded so it should be interesting to see what Saunders has to say now. Rich

Seeing prototype cart shells is quite a meaningful display. You really get a sense of the game that way (not). God forbid they'd actually plug any of these games in so we could SEE them instead of just the labels. How long do you think it will be before this game's ROM image ever surfaces?? You really have to hand it to Saunders, he never misses a chance to take a shot at the CGE guys! What have YOU done for the hobby lately except show everyone that you're the world's biggest jackass?! Isn't it about time you went away troll? Rich

quote: Originally posted by Tempest: I'm heading over to Sean Kelly's house at the end of this month. He has a ton of prototypes I can examine. Huh? I think you're mistaken. Sean doesn't have a ton of prototypes (a couple maybe). He has a ton of rom images including prototypes which is where you could be confused. Rich

Atari Coin Connection was not an internal company newsletter, but rather a newsletter sent to distributors of their arcade games. Atari Life was the name of the internal Atari newsletter. Some historian. *sheesh* Rich

quote: Originally posted by Albert: I just don't understand how complaining about a two week delay when this game has never been available before helps the situation. But it has been available before. I downloaded it about a year ago although as I said previously, I don't remember where from. Digital Press even put it on their site when they heard that you were holding up the release. Did you guys make a public inquiry for the ROM? I don't remember seeing anything in the newsgroups. Is it possible that you didn't look hard enough? Rich

quote: Originally posted by Alex: I would humbly submit that our list is the most complete by far, except for the label variation list that Tempest maintains. If you see something in another list that we don't have, it's either just been discovered, it's a minor label variation, or it's probably wrong. WOW! I would humbly submit that what you just said was quite pompous and arrogant considering that a good amount of your site seems to be borrowed from various sources including Digital Press and others. I think the Atari Age guys are starting to get a little too full of themselves. Rich

quote: Originally posted by Pitfall Harry: Alex pursued that ROM for three years! He finally caught up to it, dumped it, and because it was the realization of a long-fought personal dream, he went to great pains to ensure that the ROM was presented in what he believed was the best possible manner. What's everyone talking about? I downloaded Video Life about a year ago (don't remember where...) so it's been around for a while. Maybe the Atari Age guys didn't look hard enough. I also don't like their comment that one of the options was to hold the ROM until an emulator worked with it (however long it took). Why? Why not release it and let the tech people work on it. Was the ROM sent to the authors of all the other 2600 emulators so they could get it working as well? Rich
