Gateway Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I will be interested in a box/manual for this game ONLY on the 2 conditions listed below: 1. If it looks like a miniature of this, and: - - - - 2. If the following doesn't happen when I unseal the package so I can play the game: - - - - 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari4You Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 We are at 9 people interested in a manual and box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bfstats Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Make that 10! Box and manual are AT LEAST as important as the game itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Is this a really fun game, as in one of the 2600's best, or is it just very collectable? Interesting, nonetheless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberpunk Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 none of us have played it yet. it's a recent discovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Add another to the list. I love manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acroman Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Box and manual is fine by me, either or really, so long as I get a repro copy and can play the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masematte Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Im also for a Box and manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 We are at 9 people interested in a manual and box. I would guess a mass PM to all that have bought the game, and who might not have revisited the thread to see that a box and manual were being considered, would likely increase that number substantially.

My .02 Indeed Also for information purposes, it would be nice to know how many copies are going to be. After all $60 is not the price for your average homebrew, I'd hate to see tons of H. repros available for $6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari4You Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 I will do that once I get more information on the person who I am working with on the box and manual (just wanted to quickly test the waters). BTW, we are at 15 people who are interested in a box and manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It's going to be 100, it's on the previous page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videopac Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Box and manual here as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojay1997 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Indeed Also for information purposes, it would be nice to know how many copies are going to be. After all $60 is not the price for your average homebrew, I'd hate to see tons of H. repros available for $6 I'm not following. How would limiting the number of copies impact the later availability of more copies? It's pretty certain that as soon as they are in the hands of the buyers, dumped copies will be made available through various rom sites and anyone can then burn their own carts. Heck, the buyer of the second copy may even do that himself. It's not like buying one of these is going to guarantee any exclusivity other than that you'll have one of the 100 from this particular production run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true you cannot foresee the future, and I don't want to look like I don't want it to be available. Surely the rom will be dumped and that is good, that way everybody can play the game It might be my personal and subjective perception that the more limited the run, the more the catridge maintains or even rises in value, that is why I wanted to know how many copies are going to be made. In any case it's been paid for and I'm glad I did no matter what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubelindo Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) By the way, It would be nice to include a repro of the mazine advertisement of Red Sea Crossing in the box. At least in my case I love to tell my friends the "story" of the game. Edited September 19, 2012 by cubelindo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in my case I love to tell my friends the "story" of the game. Thats a great idea, if one isn't available with the box, Ill have to make a nice color copy.

In any case it's been paid for and I'm glad I did no matter what happens. Except that it's an unlicensed copy of an unreleased homebrew, so it's not like people are going to be dissuaded from releasing their own copies of it in deference to Atari4you and it's not like this particular run of copies is going to be considered by future collectors to be "official" in any way. Heck, someone might even try to get permission from the author at some point and do an actual authorized release which might actually have some value beyond just being able to play the game. Like you said though, who knows what the future holds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 To be honest, as a collector, I would rather have(and pay more for) the first run of any cart. Authorized or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
