maximebeauvais Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 What is the last update? I paid around 3 or 4 or 5 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I think finishing these games is also holding up the release of "Hive" as they are to be included. I also look forward to getting my physical copies when they are done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 4 years in the making for Mars Mini... this is gonna be a good one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 What is the last update? While I was preparing games for the booth at PRGE both Rocketeer and Mars Minis were worked on (although not as much as I would have liked). There will be a more informative update later next week, with some interesting news. I paid around 3 or 4 or 5 years ago. Its nearly 4 years now . Yep! I know its not acceptable, but real life just got in the way. As always, if anybody wants a refund just drop me a PM. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BBWW Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I paid as, well and am happy to wait - especially as I was part of the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 don't forget Mystery Castle. Even if it's unfinished I played it at the PRGE and it has a big potential. Reminds me of Alcatraz ( ) Alcazar for Colecovision and it could be oriented to horror or fantasy. I cross my fingers and hope to see it released soon (or at least not too late ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Cool. Just as long as it's still coming. I paid at the time and am looking forward to it. I'd really like to get a hive cart too when available. Keep at it. It'll get done.

Ignorama Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) I bet we will celebrate 5th anniversary of waiting next year. I would be shocked if not. Delay because of Hive is not acceptable to be honest, because the RELEASE was announced long before anyone ever heard of Hive. So its pretty strange to delay these games because of another project in my opinion. Edited February 12, 2017 by Ignorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I've pretty much stopped collecting for Intellivision for over a year now. Last week, I asked Groovy Bee for a refund. He was prompt and courteous in his response, and I got my refund right away. Easy peasy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling off Intellivision or just content with what you have. Just curious, not meaning to be intrusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling off Intellivision or just content with what you have. Just curious, not meaning to be intrusive. Oh yeah, no worries, Jason. A combination of factors. I kept trying to keep things interesting with the collecting by going from the 125 to CIB to sealed to sealed variants. But then I hit a wall with the sealed stuff, and I just got to the point where I didn't want to pay $60 for sealed Shark! Shark! or a Bump 'N' Jump. Plus, I had accumulated so many variants that I missed having the space in my office. Also, I had switched to collecting retro PC equipment, so instead of a sealed game, I preferred to spend the money on rare sound and video cards that I can at least play around with. Pretty much all console collecting is at a halt right now, at least the 8-bit stuff. I may end up selling a lot of the sealed stuff, maybe keep only the US releases and the super rare stuff. Sorry--don't mean to derail the topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I may end up selling a lot of the sealed stuff, maybe keep only the US releases and the super rare stuff. Well if you have a shrink-wrapped CBS Turbo or Blockade Runner. I would more than likely overpay for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bitch, bitch, bitch, and bitch about an unfulfilled order and not asking for a refund like any unhappy (but reasonable) person would. -dZ. Well, different point of views. For me its strange that you still, after we had talked about that a lot in the board and via PM, think you are in the position to tell me what to do. Sorry dude, but the answer is still no and I did my best to explain it to you. If you do not get it, it stops beeing my problem and starts to be yours Don't worry, I wont buy anything else from him. But I want the stuff I bought. Pretty easy and yep, I will "bitch bitch bitch" until GB relased these games. If you dont understand why its okay for me, just shows a lack of empathy, especially since we had a lot of talk about this topic. For the records: Its not me who did anything wrong, its GroovyBee.

Ignorama Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Easiest way to stop my bitching by the way would a relase of the games which should be released in April 2013 So go for it GB and shot my mouth, I would rather like that than going on to be mad at you. But thats unlikly, as we all know from the past four years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1980gamer Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 "just shows a lack of empathy" You do realize that empathy CAN be a two way street? You do know that life happens and the things we want to do, or intend to do, sometimes get sidetracked. You do know that creative blocks occur, and frustrations and sticking points also take place. I understand working on multiple projects at once. When you hit a road block, you can switch projects and still be productive. Productive... In the eye of the beholder. GB needs to fill his needs way more than any of ours! I like to have 4 or 5 projects going at a time in my daily work. If a block occurs, I switch gears. Many times, I figure out solutions to blocks in other projects just by not directly thinking about whatever I was working on. The other side of the coin is, I can switch projects and get on a roll and not touch other projects for days or weeks. Of course at work, priorities are dictated by others, with my owns stuff, I do what is going well until it is not going well. I know you paid a few dollars... so you think you are GB's boss and you get to dictate what he prioritizes. But guess what, you are NOT GB's boss, you know this is a hobby, you knew that before you paid him. Or maybe you are an ignoramus. Sorry to get personal, but you only get personal, so, what goes around.... GB, Monthly updates on projects would be nice and may ease some of the frustrations. I personally would rather you work on any of the projects than waste time telling us were they stand. But that is just me. Wow, I hate posting this, but I just can't take the bitching anymoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
