m-crew Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) PayPal starts looking at accounts when there are a lot of transactions that are gifted, it would be a problem. I might be able to change it from naberhood.com to my name though. That would be great! I didn't mean through paypal- the value? Not sure how it works when those labels are printed.. All good , just being curious.. Edited June 22, 2018 by m-crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Well I just received my package from Soulbuster, to my surprise I had to dish out another $14.24 , First time I had to pay for a retro game shipment. F Custom lol They charged the GST plus a handling fee of almost 3 times the GST. Did this happen to Anyone else here in Canada. I wonder if this is because of the trade shit going on between Trudue and Trump Like I said before, total scam when it comes to interstate/international sales tax and tariffs. Just another way our governments fleece us every chance they get. That sucks you got hit with that. $14 is ridiculous for something costing less than $100. They should at least credit you for the postage you had to pay first! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crooks for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is the only post I will make regarding GroovyBee and Nonner. The credit in the manual and the promotional copies were offered as the animosity over this game needs to stop. It was not meant to be public. To help stop the animosity, GroovyBee was offered additional money over the $2,000 already paid to him to release his version of the game, I think it was last year, not certain. GroovyBee refused the offer and refused to return the $2,000. Make what you will of the above. I am done. OK, since you suggested it, this is what I make of the above... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SoulBuster Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Unpurchased reserved serials are now available. 6, 8 and 9 have been offered to those that have already expressed an interest in low numbers. You can still request those numbers and be in line to get one should anyone in this group opt out of 6, 8 or 9. You can also make a regular purchase at https://www.naberhood.com and you will receive the next lowest serial over 10 starting at #18. Some numbers available 18, 22, 23, 25, 32, 37 as of this posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Normally I would have snatched up the #8, but I didn't want to pay the premium price of $100. Instead, I picked up #88 for $70. That's only $35 per 8! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my #39 is already on the way. Edited June 23, 2018 by Intymike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 OK, since you suggested it, this is what I make of the above... llamafather.png That might make sense had said $2000 purchased a fully programmed game. It might even have somewhat of a point if it had purchased a half programmed game. However, it appears that what the aforementioned $2000 actually bought was a few cut screen concepts and maybe a game level screen which all had to be fully programmed and re-imaged by Óscar. And all of it based on someone else's work from over 20 years ago. Seems like $2000 doesn't go as far as it used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WispFollower Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 This is a fantastic game. Great gameplay with lots of different strategies to employ. I think I will be playing this quite often. I really enjoy the permanent high score table. Also, the box, overlays, manual, and cartridge label are well done. The concept and art of this game make me laugh, and the gameplay is tough and complex enough to keep me coming back. I guess I'm trying to say I really appreciate this release. Thanks to everyone involved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 ... [*]No reassignment of copyright - At no point was copyright of the works (including code, graphics and music/FX) transferred to Elektronite, thus my team retains their copyright 100% as being the creators of the works. ... Reassignment of copyright is not necessary. If you are doing work for a game publisher it is reasonable to think you are giving them permission to publish your work; why else would they be paying you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that once again you decide to surgically target a precise and minimal piece of what was set and pick at it in your usual pedantic lawyerly way, without consideration for the full context. True to form as always! It's nice and comfortably reassuring to see how in these trying times some things never change. Attaboy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pot/kettel myself too hard after that nonsensical Godfather pic if I were you. But I will say this argument over copyright is rather silly considering Yak is the only one who could make that claim anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulbuster said "make that what you will," so I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
