GroovyBee Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. LOCUSTS! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

+intellivotion Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 apart from jokes, what an incredible job! I hardly believe it's an Intellivision game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I understand others have pre-paid for this game already, but I wasn't privy to it back then to have done so. Despite this, I do plan to buy a copy of this when it becomes available. It looks amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm still really impressed and it was worth waiting for. I felt that there was a lot of work into this game. I wasn't really paying a lot of attention since there's many other things in life that I can pay attention too. So, I'm happy to preorder this game. In a few months the cartridge with this game will come in a baggy full of goodies(J/K[hmm it could happen ]) and I'll stuff this game into my Coleco Chameleon err I mean the Intellivision Master Component's cartridge slot and play this game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just a slight correction to your description: its the MOBs that are in background mode and not the text. The font is always drawn in the foreground colour (using colour stack mode) on the HSC league table screen. Although the additional technical detail is welcomed, I believe he meant that from a less technical perspective: The text is drawn on the BACKTAB (i.e., the screen background) but it's the MOBs that appear behind them. In other words, the first assumption people made on seeing it is that the floating text in the foreground must be MOBs, but they are in fact "drawn in the background" as it were. Anyway, clever trick indeed, and very impressive in practice. -dZ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaveRider1970 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Amazing. Seems more playable than Space Hawk. Hope that you will have enough xtra copies. Pre-orders closed 4 year ago. I was not even collecting at that time and there is a lot of new comers since. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Amazing. Seems more playable than Space Hawk. Thanks for the compliments. Hope that you will have enough xtra copies. Don't worry, there will be more than enough copies to go around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ho11ywood885 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Groovy, I hadn't known about this game till I heard about it on the latest Intellivisionaries podcast. It looks absolutely gorgeous and I would like to be on the list for this one if you have any left. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstarryeyed Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Wow that game looks amazing and looks like a lot of fun! I am looking forward to buying it when it comes out myself! Thank you for all of the hard work over all of these years! It looks like all of that work will really be worth it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fushek Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Has anyone heard from Groovy? I PM'd him a couple of times over the past month and a half, no response, and he hasn't posted anything since then either. Hope everything is OK!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 It's been three months since I requested a refund for this game (and Mars Minis) from Groovy. I haven't heard from him in that time and my messages show as Not Read. Not trying to be "that guy" but after three months and no response I'm wondering if ANYONE has heard from him? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee has gone missing for a while, and some of us are worried for his health. As attested by his past performance, I'm sure he would have given you a refund immediately if he were around. I really hope he is doing OK; there are more important things in the world than video games. dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeM_Intellivision Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Coincidently, I requested a refund from GroovyBee this week and have not heard back from him either. As some of you know I'm in money raising mode for bills and after 4 1/2 years simply want a refund and will consider it interest free working capital and will support the games when and if they come out. Hopefully those that want a refund will get it. As for you dZ, I didn't realize you were the mouthpiece of GroovyBee and certainly don't need you to tell me or anyone else that there are more important things in life than video games - no s**t sherlock. Health, actually keeping your word, etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
