+Gemintronic Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Now that I actually see the boxes the idea of a full front side sticker doesn't sound as crazy. Ah well, bub bye boxes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Ok I am a 7800 fan stalking the intel. Forum checking out what kinda games it had and has today. Especially Interested in Grooveybees projects as he was just a few years ago showing off some 7800 demos of games he was working on which looked fn mindblowing.. Of course I read the hover threads including this one.. and someone mentioned that this seems to lower your standards as a intel fan with all the name calling etc.. that goes on... I would say after seeing almost a half dozen topics with you guys purposely trolling yourselves over the matter ya'll seem get a kick out of it. Its been a good read..

I would say after seeing almost a half dozen topics with you guys purposely trolling yourselves over the matter ya'll seem get a kick out of it. Its been a good read.. I'm not sure how to take that. You're the first to connect the dots in this way so far. I had asked Games for Your Intellivision about re-purposing the boxes as a side matter. One that didn't work out because of the box size differences between 2600 and INTV games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 An absolute waste, but printed for the cancelled version.We are selling off a limited number of boxes to collectors. It would not be fair to the people who are contributing to the significant cost of the printing by purchasing the now rare box if they were re-purposed. A moot point now, as they are gone. We are indeed recycling. 300 of them are getting rained on now. Someone said I was 'bluffing' about the destruction. I don't bluff. There are no guarantees that the new version will have any sort of box whatsoever. In fact, it is looking less likely every day, as this whole fiasco has caused a lot of bad feelings with everyone involved. It is likely that the redeveloped version will be a cart only release.

+Gemintronic Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 There's got to be a better box for homebrews. I understand the urge for nostalgia when producing a retro title but this situation sucks. Have you considered alternative, hopefully pre-fab packaging? I know neotokeo2001 sometimes re-purposes VCR tape boxes with his own inserts and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Ok, now I have to say it! After reading both sides threads, I suggested buying the boxes before they were destroyed as they were sold in a group of two. Then purchase the half cut cartridge to go with 1 box. And finally, purchase Groovys or Williams non box release of the finished game for the other box.......collectible? Hell Yes!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 And with that, no one is choosing sides yet supporting both at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 wolfy62 keeps bringing up two versions coming out. Am I missing something? Is that for real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 He's being hopeful. Would be cool though. I'm thinking I'll just buy 2 copies of the half-cut and upgrade either one or both. Then I'll either have 2 cool games CIB or 1 cool game and one demo/variant, but still both CIB. I'm ok with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) well.....maybe! If both parties involved follw through on what they are working on. Definatly up to them not to me. I am just an avid and rabid Intellivision consumer! Edited November 1, 2013 by wolfy62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
