TheAtarianGuy Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 To me, it seems like there's more complaining coming from the people that call themselves patient than the so called "whiney-crybabies" on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 To me, it seems like there's more complaining coming from the people that call themselves patient than the so called "whiney-crybabies" on here. Perhaps, but the patient ones are complaining about the whiney-crybabies, and are not complaining about the slowness of the revealed information. I've waited years for this information, and others have waited decades. To collate information, gather your thoughts, and write them down properly takes time. I can appreciate that any information Wonder has could take a number of hours to fully prepare, and it looks like he doesn't have time for that right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Well, if the information has been hidden for 30 years, surely we can wait another year for exact information Besides Wonder is investigating it just for hobby, impatient ones should remember work is first.

Andromeda Stardust Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 No I know what I was referring to http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/124649/Ataris_Kassar_Calling_Programmers_HighStrung_Prima_Donnas_Was_A_Mistake.php Gotta love Ray Kassar. He said in an interview that Atari programmers were "a bunch of High Strung Prima Donnas". Curt and Marty had a couple of pages about the incident in the Atari Book. One of the employees even had a bunch of T-Shirts made with the phrase on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.....I am not trying to hoard information. I want to do a full report and not do it in parts. Besides, my Father is working on some leads as well. However, the negativity of some of the members here is really bothering me....to the extent that I might just quit my investigation..... I am a diehard fan of the 2600 but gosh, I can't believe the reaction of some people.....especially the PM's I have received......... I have been totally respectful of everybody on the forums and don't appreciate the s**t I have been receiving. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why some of you need to shut the F up. @Wonder, please take all the time you need.

I hope I wasn't one of them. Sometimes I make whimsical replies to topics, but please, take as much time as you need. You've come this far; it would be a crying shame to waste all of your research.

I have been totally respectful of everybody on the forums and don't appreciate the s**t I have been receiving.Fantum and fanaticism have the same root. The problem are those who do not know where to draw the line. Please don't take those people personally. This is a hobby, you are not obliged to anyone for anything. But nevertheless I will keep my fingers crossed, hoping for some news soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 well, here is some patient, positive support wonder. haters gonna hate. don't mean a thang! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'll second Godzilla's patience and positive support here as well. We've waited for a long, long time to get some solid information about this, so what's a little longer wait if it means we get a whole, complete picture of the history? I've gone through the whole thread, and this game has fascinated me so far as its history is concerned (as has a number of other titles for this and other systems). Looking forward to see what you've been able to find, Wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad if the said palettes ever existed, they are likely buried 30 feet underground...

Rest assured that most of us know how to behave like gentle-people and are more than willing to wait and see what you turn up. (given how many jumped to thwap the idiots who complain about waiting too long.) Don't let the jerks drive you off from it. Most of us are quite interested and as excited as you are about collecting... if not as well placed to collect.
