Mine came with this little yellow post it note that says:

 

Note to self - be sure to leave the patches out of both copies of Eric's games!

[DZ-Jay]

Mine had a patch, a metal copter, and a button! (Thanks, Rev!) At first I was a bit sad that I didn't get a patch, then I found it tucked in deep in the bottom of the box. :)

Yes, I wonder how many people may never look in the bottom of the box!

[mjarnold7]

I found my patch! And the cutout copter! Thanks!

[Eric7100]

To clear it up.

 

All game come with this included:

 

-embroidered copter patch

-metal copter

 

I got two metal copters. Is that because I ordered two copies of the game?

[Eric7100]

You got two copies and neither had patches? That's very odd.

 

Maybe odd, but true.

I didn't realize I got a patch until reading this thread tonight. Thanks Rev! I was surprised (and pleased) to get a metal copter and now surprised again to discover that there's also a patch! It's the gift that keeps on giving.

[Rev]

Yes. People may discover years from now that a patch is in bottom of box!

Just out of curiosity, once you set everything up, how long did the machine actually take to cut out all those copters?

Just out of curiosity, once you set everything up, how long did the machine actually take to cut out all those copters?

- Set up wasn't too bad, I had 2 giant chunks (like the one in the pic) so it was much easier than using little scraps/etc like I normally have to

 

- Actual CNC run time per copter is probably around 30-60 seconds, so roughly 200 minutes with any minor problems that arise (broken bits/etc..) I only run them at maybe 50 IPM but I am capable of running them MUCH faster (500 IPM) but since we are set up for larger stuff it will leave a very rough/sharp edge, so I run them slower to counteract that.

 

- The most time consuming part is cleaning them since as I mentioned, we are not set up for smaller stuff so they will have a lot of metal flakes/etc stuck to the edges that need to be cleaned off with a razor or file, that adds a few minutes per copter, so all and all probably 3 minutes per Copter or 600 minutes for 200

I just finished placing and order for Copter Command. Come at me helicopter game!!

[Eric7100]

Thanks for the metal copters!

How sad is this? I was in the process of collapsing the shipping box for recycling when I noticed the Intv/Running Man stamp and scan code on it. Now it's been reconstituted as a displayable "Intellivision stuff holder!"

[Intymike]

Received my copy today.

The game is much faster then expected. And has an excellent playability.

 

A big thank you to all involved in this project!

I didn't think anyone would save that!

[Intymike]

Yes, it works perfectly with the game!

I got my package today. I was really impressed by the packaging. I really love the box. Also the metal helicopter was a great surprise. I need to get a magnet or something to hang it up somewhere. I did get the patch. I was so impressed that I shown the stuff to my parents. My parents knew I was a helicopter fan when I was little since I was so obsessed with them. Really cool stuff!!! Thanks to everyone who's involved in this project. I will tenderize my thumb in a little bit to play some of the game with my sleep deprived brain.

[Rev]

Great experience Kiwi. Thanks for sharing.

[Kiwi]

I played the game little over an hour on 3 lives mode, fast shot, autofire on. Very nice job by the coder. I like the remix mode that have 4 different area with different color scheme. It's like H.E.R.O. that had 4 different color cavern. Plus there is 2 different sound for the shooting depending if it is on fast or slow.

Now I need to work on sleeping.
