Wilheim Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Bumping an old thread... Does anyone know if Fandal recovered the money he spent on this prototype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Far from it, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I suggest folks donate to him directly, he is lucky to see 5 dollars a copy give or take in his current v61 arrangement. You could buy it from V61 and donate... both It is a cool game. Edited October 25, 2018 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I ordered 4 pcs for myself and my friends this spring, as a kind of thank-you to Fandal for what he did. But as far as I know, only about a quarter of what he invested has returned to him so far. Edited October 25, 2018 by pseudografx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could buy it from V61 and donate... both It is a cool game. Depending upon the cost to do so, I would entertain the idea if the price wasn't outrageous and then donate it to the community. Be nice to see an XEX made from it as well (I'm not a Cart user, and prefer something I can load from a CF card). In my opinion a reasonable price would be to project the potential sales by Video61 over the next 5 years (not an exaggerated number, but something real based on previous sales and profit margin). Then check with Fandal on what he would also like to see, and factor that into the payment. If this ends up being too rich for my wallet, then perhaps a kickstarter or similar can be started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Years ago I bought this game from V61 to support Fandal. I hope nobody shares the file. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 There is surely a copy of the binary floating in the wild, but I don't think it could do much damage, as we are a symphatetic community 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1977 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Pardon me for asking, but where could I buy the game from? could somebody maybe post a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for the link, but I see Xenephobe is a 64k cart, I think i'll browse the AtariAge web store instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I bought one - Fandal did a great service to the Community (one of amongst many he has done) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
