mr_me Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 If neither is the copyright owner why would one ask the other not to share it. I can think of one reason. It's obviously in both their interests that it not be shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're coming off as entitled and super obnoxious. Just accept that it can't be shared at this time and drop it. I will try and make a video of the gameplay sometime in here, but at the moment I'm super busy so that will have to wait. I've actually been meaning to put up some videos of protos I can't release for various reasons. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand how busy people can get but I also know if you say that you will attempt something you will get round to it when able. Said it before and I will say it again. A heartfelt thank you for all your efforts to the gaming community. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a rare thing in this day and age and as no one knows his reasoning perhaps we should all just accept it. A video of the game in action would be nice but we all have access to the pics and descriptions on Tempest's site and until something changes lets just be thankful that Tempest was allowed to review it on our behalf. I agree! If it weren't for Tempest's excellent work in cataloging all the prototypes known to us, we would never know that such games really existed! It is possible that there are still some prototypes unknown to the public kept in some basement, just waiting for some opportunity to be discovered!

That is the eternal hope my friend I am a firm believer that The Incredible Hulk and Chop Lifter exist in some form. Still hoping for the day when a pic of both will one day surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be willing to reveal that information when the owner(s) die so that this matter can be pursued with their respective estate(s)?

Truth be told, I don't even remember the identity of the second guy. It was a long time ago and I generally don't save emails from that far back. As for the identity of the first guy, I can't divulge that. Sorry. Secrecy is sometimes necessary I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the unfortunate event that a collector passes away their collection will most likely be sold and end up in the hands of another collector.

Then it is in the hands of a higher power. Sometimes secrets are requested and collectors do not want their identities known for many reasons. If the guy dies then he dies. There is nothing anyone can do to change it. The rom is safeguarded and we have the information on it so lets move on to those prototypes that there are no pics or descriptions of right now and hope that one day someone, somewhere will allow the basic information to be known to the rest of us.

Just accept that fact and move on. Speaking of moving on, this thread has run its course I think. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
