Let's hope people will respect our decision for this year's club I will (temptation was strong , but out of respect to Collectorvision I sent my game to France for a fellow member, Toby is rewarding me appropriately ) I would have loved the inty secret game instead of the coleco one that was done! Arcade ports are what I love! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I privately acquired my copy of the secret game from a member here who didn't care for the game choice. I offered $75 and he accepted. My justification for the offer was that it was half the club membership price and the secret game was easily half of the rewards. Also, $75 is only a few dollars more than I feel CollectorVision would have charged for the game if they sold it on their website. I missed out on the 2019 club as I wasn't as involved with the community at the time. Getting the game and keeping the secret (even though I purchased 2nd hand, I still did not know the game until I received it - as it should be in my opinion if you are selling it to another member) is half the fun for me. I signed up for the 2020 club the day I got the email. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, you could pass it to a member here..... Yes, there are two things you can do for this shameful action by a member of this community: 1. Publicly expose his name in shame, encouraging others to not trade, or have any dealings with him. 2. Contact E-bay about banning the sale, due to any number of "reasons", eg, copyright infringement or breach of contract / privacy. That's an awful thing, good luck in making sure that person "gets his" for greed and not playing fair with this (small) community. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The individual involved has an excellent reputation on this site and while some may not be thrilled by what he has chosen to do I'm pretty sure your ideas are not a measured response, particularly as someone to whom no harm has come. I suspect there are many on AA who would be more than happy to vouch for him. My 0.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This person may have many good reasons to sell the game, including ignorance to the ever changing rules posted here. ....we are not the inquisition here. We are a club for fun. If someone decides to flip the game on ebay or such, a corresponding response is that person may not be allowed to rejoin the club in the future. I think it was stated by Collectorvision in a previous post. A member was allowed to sell the game to other members privately. Pricing agreed by the parties is of their concern not ours. In my opinion. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a thief or a criminal ^^ Said pretty much tongue-in-cheek, yes. I'm not trying to tar-and-feather anyone, particularly one of good reputation. However we shall agree that it was against the spirit of the club? Surely there are others in this community who would benefit more than Ebay and its minions. All the same, I didn't mean to start a negative discussion, but my dislike for Ebay (and what 99% of its sellers are after -- greed) is such that this Ebay sale of the secret game set off a diatribe. Even though it's an Intelivision game and not part of the CV community. Apologies for ruffling any feathers. Now, onto the 2020 club and another awesome year!

Ikrananka Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I've just been updating the Homebrew ROMs section of the CV Collector's List and adding the ROMs from the 2019 CollectorVision Club/ROM Vault. One oddity jumped out at me while doing this. The ROM listing for the Vault that's currently available to purchase shows that Earth Defend 2083 is included. However, this ROM is not included in the 2019 CollectorVision Club download area. @CollectorVision : Is this an error in the ROM Vault listing on the website or should this ROM in fact be available to 2019 club members to download?

mingus Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Any word on when 2020 club members will have access to the rom vault? Just want to make sure I didn't miss an email somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they can turn around the 2020 vault faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1980gamer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I was under the impression, it was going to ready as soon as the ordering closed. I really was hoping this would not drag on. I am actually fired up to play a few games I haven't tried before! My Phoenix is cooling off.. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji20] That's what I thought as well, but it looks like you can still order on the website. So I guess it's not closed yet. Maybe they decided to give it a few extra days.

Swami Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Things are always a bit slow in the homebrew world. May be some work involved in getting a couple of the game roms ready or the guy handling it is tied up with family or work stuff. There’s like 300 roms to tide us over.

H.E.R.O. Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 2020 will be much quicker than 2019 was. For one thing, according to Collectorviison, the super secret game is done and tested. I think they only had boxes to get done when club was first announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my house, at least, $150 discretionary cash towards video games is a big deal - especially coming out of the holidays! So thanks for the clarification. I hope those waiting are able to get in on the fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humor aside, really, we got lots to play so a week delay or two is no big deal. Can’t wait to play a colecovision friendly version of Vangard!

H.E.R.O. Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 So....anyone not a club member from later year want to buy the 2019 super secret game? $85 shipped to the Continental USA only. I've pretty much played all I'm going to play of it. Being good honest boy even after seeing what that guys Jungle Hunt for Intellivision went for on that site of broken hearts and empty wallets.

H.E.R.O. Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Nobody? Interesting. Well, guess I can always send it back to the Collectorvision boys if they want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
