Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Cmart lives in BC, and shipping there is 14 (not including handling) for under 500 grams....2 sets puts you over 500.... Postage to the USA is $10.35 plus handling (boxes etc) The reality of living in Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Special Teams Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 My shipping was $33 (I did buy some additional copies of games, though). If I was overcharged, feel free to add some extra goodies in the box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) The shopping cart seems to have some trouble with weight....and separating shipments. Generally, when people buy more than a few copies of something, it starts to get up into the hundreds....(the cost of the games, not the shipping) Regular shipping does not include insurance, so I send it 'tracked packet'. If people buy a bunch of stuff, and the shipping is around $30 bucks, I usually send it 'Expedited' with insurance and tracking to the USA. If it is WAY out of line, I go into the credit card transaction and refund some overage. But, I will keep that in mind in the future and maybe throw some goodies (extra overlays etc) in ...... Thanks everyone for the support, and I look forward to selling out of these boxes.

bikeguychicago Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think my $40+ would be best spent elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Not everyone will want a box and overlays for a cancelled game. But I won't be surprised to see them on eBay next year. Meanwhile, the rest are going in the wood chipper....or the mower.....or ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Is there a chance to ad a single Box (doesnt matter of assembled or not) and a single pair of Overlays to my next Elektronite-Order (which is the next game released)? I would consider to buy a box, but I dont need two sets and its too much money for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 If part of the 100 sets is not sold, I would consider selling you one assembled box and 2 overlays as part of your Paddle Party package. However, once these are gone, they are gone. And, yes, I did put a lot of money into this Michael. Thanks for pointing that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll sell you one box and set of overlays for 40 bucks.....a 'bargoon'. I guess we will see if I can sell 100 sets. Go for the Gold and Game Factory sold out.

wolfy62 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I bought the boxes because if the cartridge ever gets released it will not come from Willy, so think ahead and get your boxes now. the guy programming the cart will not do boxes, and actually may never produce the game either. Keep your fingers crossed for that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Not trying to pour salt into a wound, but the last I'd heard Al had said he would moderate the issue and had been sent the game ROM to look at, he just needed some time to do that. I both parties were waiting on that? It's always sad to see an almost finished game get canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your fingers crossed for that! I thought about that too, but doesn't William have the rights to release the game? I doubt Mark could legally release it. Additionally, would anyone have access to a cart/board that the game would fit on? Not that I understand how any of this works, mind you I'd be happy if the ROM was eventually released for free (in any halfway playable form), so I could load onto a multicart.....if I ever get a multicart, that is. Wishful thinking on many levels, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I hope the ROM never finds it way to the public, it would be the best if its deleted forever. Of course I would like to play a new game, but I wish this chapter ends after the boxes are sold. Lets move on to other games, there are more than enough in the future.

Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Classic Game Publishers, Inc. retain the Intellivision rights to Hover Bovver. No one has the right to sell or distribute the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Odd question, I'm guessing you had to pay CGP to release the game. Since the game is canceled do you still have to pay them, or did you have some form of an escape clause in case the game didn't get published. Also, hopefully you don't have to pay them for publishing the box only without the game. It would suck if you got stuck having to pay them when the game didn't get released.

Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Elektronite is the Intellivision brand. Classic Game Publishers, Inc. is a real company. It holds the rights to the game through the generosity of Jeff Minter, who wants to see it released on the Intellivision CGP will be publishing Atari carts under the brand 'VCS Magic' next year. Boulder Dash is being released by Elektronite, Classic Game Publishers, Inc. and First Star Software, Inc. Valter is our founder and member of the company. Elektronite, however, is not making legal agreements. I hope this clears things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Sad to see the game be cancelled for the Inty. I really enjoyed the game back in the day. I think it might be time to dig out the old C-64 and play again for old times sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
