Tempest Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 It was not to be sold for profit. Those were the rules. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The question for me is, if I DON'T buy this do I have any chance of getting it any other way? AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The question for me is, if I DON'T buy this do I have any chance of getting it any other way? AX Sure. It's not against the rules to make one, it's just against the wishes of the programmer to sell it for a large profit (its ok to charge a little premium to compensate the person for their time and effort). The programmer just didn't was them to appear on ebay for large sums of money. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Okay, then I'm not going to bid any higher. The programmer can report the listing to eBay's Vero (verified rights owner) at the bottom of the listing and get the results voided. I'm in high bid right now with 6 minutes to go. I do want it, but I don't want to support the wrong thing... I just want it. I read about it on the Proto's page and think its pretty awesome.

Mayhem Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I missed the original sale of the game here... so I just asked the guy who made the carts if he could make me one with manual (he agreed), and I went via Marc O for the box. So you can still get a complete version I imagine if both of them can make the items... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Very cool, you all are always so kind with helping my little homebrew obsessions. Sometimes I feel like I missed the hay-day of the homebrew scene because I just got into this in Feb. of this year, and so much of it was made 10 - 20 at a time, and limited. Finding out about this stuff, and collecting it has been actually more fun than my first goal of getting all the 7800 games. After this week I'm close to 100 homebrew titles on 2600 5200 and 7800. I had a proxy of $95 on this, and didn't bid higher. I would have won I'm sure. I was ready to snipe. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'm sure glad Raven1280, Atariboy2600 and I spent all that time on the manual for someone else to make a lot of money from it. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosiss Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Is this a proto or an 8bit conversion? Reading the description, it sounds like an interesting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 A finished Atari prototype game that never went to market. It was developed for the home computer line and ported to the 5200 console by Atari. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46671 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosiss Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Excelent. I'll be transfering the binary to my trusty Atarimax soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 First off, everything sells. Second, I frequently seem to miss out on these things. I'd love to get my mitts on such a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I missed it too. Not sure who made it on cart with manual, but Marc O made the box for them. Just the box is $40 with shipping though, so figure $30-40 for the cart & docs & shipping plus another $40 for the box. You're looking $80 for the complete package you see on ebay. I don't think it was too bad of a deal even at $95 considering. I agree though you really can't stop people from selling stuff, and you cant' control the outcome of stuff placed on ebay. And if the seller spent $80 on a game, then sold for $95 after listing fees/ FVFs/paypal/shipping/etc, he's lucky if he makes anything off it. I don't understand the rolling eyes above. Can't control a secondary market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 So maybe this auction will make it profitable for the original holder of the rom to make some games available thru AA.?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I missed it too. Not sure who made it on cart with manual, but Marc O made the box for them. The box in the auction, I now see, is different to the box I got from Marc. Maybe he changed it between printings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Oberhäuser Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I missed it too. Not sure who made it on cart with manual, but Marc O made the box for them.

I would love to buy many boxes for my homebrew collection from you Marc. I'm not sure what is the best way to contact you. I have tried PM and email to no avail.

Phantom Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would love a copy of this and manual. If the original seller of this game decides to make more, please send me a PM because you have a sale. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always got back to me eventually... If you know what you're after (from looking at his site) then he will give a quote on prices and shipping.
