Left Turn Only announces Space Patrol

[tjb]

Did anybody else receive the following e-mail:

 

It all started with Baseball, which is considered to be one of the best titles ever made for the Intellivision. After Mattel Electronics shut down, INTV continued producing great games like Body Slam with beautiful box artwork. Continuing in this great tradition, Left Turn Only (LTO) has produced Space Patrol.

 

The incredible box artwork hints at what's to come. As you plug in the cartridge and play it the first time, you'll experience the rush of playing Intellivision for the first time, again. This is SPACE PATROL!

 

We spared no expense by obtaining only best quality materials. The box feels just like the boxes Mattel produced in the 80s, with a solid cart retaining system. Each box includes a serial number (on a holographic security label) to ensure authenticity. Also included are high quality color overlays and a complete color manual.

 

LTO proudly announces Space Patrol, available for pre-ordering today. Each package includes cartridge, box, manual and overlays. As a bonus, LTO is offering its own updated version of 4-Tris, available in limited quantities to those who purchase Space Patrol

 

Space Patrol is scheduled to ship no later than the end of January.

4-Tris will ship by the end of February.

Thank you,

 

The LTO team

The game looks good and it seems legit but I'm a little nervous ordering from them. Perhaps it's because I'm wondering how they got my e-mail address. Can anyone verify that these guys are legit?

I got the email as well. It's some of the same people who have sold homebrew Intellivision games in the past. Just a new company name for some reason. I'm sure it's legit. I'll be ordering it as soon as I check my bank account balance.

I played a demo months and months ago, and it's definitely for real. It's also one hell of a conversion. I can't wait for the complete version of the game!

And here's the demo for those of you interested. The full version's supposed to have multiple levels, including several that are different from anything ever seen in Moon Patrol... that's pretty sweet!

I talked to Joe briefly at CGE, and played a version of it there - it's pretty cool. I'll probably order... just not sure I can justify the $55 right now. So... tempted...
