tillenterprises Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Well, whoever is responsible for this game being pulled, thanks alot! I was just going to order my copy this morning, bugs or no bugs. I just learned of the existence of this game last week from these message boards, and was excited at the idea that finally... almost 25 years later, we have a home console version of Gorf that contains all 5 stages. By the way, I already own a real Gorf arcade machine, so I have every legal right to own the rom, as well. I wonder, if the game was pulled due to copyright issues, if it was because of the Galaxians level being included- same reason it wasn't included in the home versions back in the early 80's.

Foxsolo2000 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Whatever the reason this fighting and back stabbing has cost the community a great game. What is wrong with people? Why cant we conduct ourselves in a civilised manner without attempting to bring each other down in the process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Most have conducted themselves in a civilized manner, go back and read all the glowing praise about the game. Disagreeing like NovaXpress did, or trying to learn just who owns what (Like a few of my post were), aren't trying to stir up a war. There were no criticisms that I saw, just praise, but for some reason it still made the developers mad. As for this war between AtariAge and a message board I've never visited before, I don't know, it all just seems stupid.

doctorclu Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ok, it's been a day now as I said I would give myself (almost 24 hours to the minute) before I posted. Since my post I have had a lot of people writing me not to sell my Jaguar collection because, if nothing else if I left Bubsy would loose his fan club and fall into obscurity. Nope was showing my Jag collection to my brother in law last night and realized a bunch of great titles I wanted to show him. So yeh I might seemed a bit over the top yesterday, but I was furious. Anyway, so that's that. I'll wait with the rest for a happy ending on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starcat Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi! - Albert, for having to deal with the Jaguar community. At this rate I don't think anyone would blame you if you removed all references to the Jag from AA. Just keep this experience in mind if you ever get some kind of crazy notion of opening a Neo Geo forum. 1013494[/snapback] Sorry, but are you suggesting to remove the whole Jaguar information and even the Jaguar forum completely from Atariage? If that happens, you tear appart the last remains of a community. It may be frustrating sometimes and there will always be people who try to ruin it for others and enjoy that (like all those trolls and flame war addicts), but we may not forget all the loyal people, that prefer to stay out of most discussions. And we may not forget all those who do not post at all and just read Atariage. We can't count how many they are, if they don't show their face in public, but all I know is, they are more than we can imagine. I am always surprised how many new people I meet on the events and how many of them say, Atariage was like a home to them, but they do not post, because they have nothing important to say. They just enjoy being here. Without a community the Jaguar is nothing but a piece of history. Regards, Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Laird Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I also apologise for any part I may have played in the "flame war" but I was not going to stand back and let people try to make a fool of me, insult my friends in the community, attack Albert (and AA in general) and demean the hard work made by the likes of Lars, Carl and Matthias. I think its safe to say I'll just stay on this forum from now on and ignore the idiots on the other forum who just want to bring us all down to their level. LONG LIVE THE JAGUAR!

Gorf Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 ....and is it any wonder why I want nothing to do with this place.... You know it is too bad that ONLY my negatives post get deleted and Nova X is Still allowed to call me a liar, unfairly. I DO own the only authorized version. I should have been clearer I guess. It is one third more authorized than the illegal intellectual properties on your hard drive Nova. It is a shame I cant even go back and look at what I said to see if I miss posted But I remember CLEARY disclosing it was only Jamie I spoke to on the matter. My posts were deleted so I cant tell. Now you come here and tell BS and I have no way to know exactly what I posted. I may very well have made it sound like I was fully in the right, but it was not my intention. The fact of the matter is the first e-mail I got from Jamie, she gave me the go ahead...not making ANY mention of others involved. I still have the e-mail somewhere..I will look for it. This recent round of post's by you are just laughable. Any lie you accuse me of was created out of your own desire to justify your illegal ROMS. I at least have, yes STILL HAVE, partial permission. I know I STILL have it because Jamie e-mailed me over the weekend confiming this and giving me the ENTIRE breakdown of what is going on. Show me your e-mail from ANYONE concerned with Gorf's right's. Oh that's right, I forgot. You dont have any. I stopped Gorf from sale because I am TRULY trying to be honest about this. Now let's see if you will erase your illegal ROMs images. You can call me a liar untruly, but clearly you are stealing. I own several ROM images on my hard drive...KEY WORD...OWN I own the machines. I also repair arcades and can get ANY ROM I want. But I inly burn new ROMS for whomever need it for their machine and that is that. Nova, my honest opinion about the whole ROM's issue is I think they should release all to the public after 10 years or dormancy. However Nova, that is not that case. I helped write parts of MAME and am working on some Jaguar stuff for MESS...specifically the ASTROCADE drivers. Us MAME authors wrote MAME to PRESERVE the classsic, not have everyone steal them. Truth is I can give you a real legal problem over owning those ROMS if you indeed do as I do have PARTIAL say in Gorf..I cant do anything with it now untill I clear up the other two thirds. I am only guessing this but, she must have thought Scott(JagMod) was e-mailing her( the first contact I made) , who she met at a gaming show where he was showing off an early proto-type of Jaguar Gorf Classic. I m assuming he had already spoken with her. I was NOT told the whole story...I am quite sure it was not her intentions and I am sure it is because she may have thought I was Scott..My guess..I dont know...Maybe Scott can shed some light. MY intentions were not to lie to anyone...I told you the truth according to what I knew . Thanks to you I am even more aware and have done that which is right. Gorf is done for until I hear from the rest. I hope this clears it up. Say what you want but you really are talking with half the story.

Gorf Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Had he not flown off the handle, people wouldn't have been asking in the first place. Gorf brought this on himself by attacking anyone who responded to him including those who were trying to defend him. The really sad thing is that this whole situation was intentionally blown out of proportion by two instigators who WOULD like to see a rift created in the Jaguar community and Gorf got caught in the middle. 1013721[/snapback] Defending myself is NOT flying off the handle. I never ATTACKED ANYONE defending me. IF I had something hard to say to someone, I had good reason, At leat I felt so. Say what you want but your clearly being one sided.

Weather it was intentional or not, it was bad timming...ALL of this mounted as my only goal here was to be supportive to those who purchased or want to purchaes gorf. I have worked VERY well in my life in Customer Service with hardly any trouble even from the worst of customers, but I have NEVER dealt with this. Even AFTER I tried to make a plea to peace I got an attitude post from YOU Sku...go back and read it. try to be me when you do. enough is enough....I wanted to make a game for the Jaguar community and unforunatley I DID get caught in the middle. I unfortunately did not handle it as best as I can, but then I was never treated like this before either. No excuse but I am only human From where I sat when all this started, came across as a pile on. anyway. I hope all of this just goes away. It's just not worth it. I have games to make.
