    Thank you for clarifying my mis-statement about Piggy being exclusive, that was the information that I had read at some point when I got back into Intv and I was not a member of the AA forum when it came out.  So my apologies about the mis-information.  Wish there were was CIB batch run as it seems a number of people are still looking for it (me included)...I know it didn't come that way, but it seems that a couple members have the files to make it happen if they teamed up with BBWW.  I am very excited about the upcoming releases though.

    No worries friend. Piggy Bank did have a Blix-like debut at PRGE so there was similarity there.

     

    It is an awesome game so I hope you can find a copy. I believe the ROM is available if you also play that way. At least then you can enjoy the game while waiting for a cart to come up for sale.

    Well, it has happened in the past...that was why I asked.  Piggy Bank was one of them from BBWW.

     

    I know Blix was a show exclusive but that was mainly because they only made 30 copies so it was bound to sell out there. It has since been re-released. Piggy Bank was assuredly not a show exclusive. I know because I reserved and purchased mine through a thread here on AtariAge.

     

    I agree with everyone here that exclusive games would not be the best thing for the community in general. I also doubt such a thing will ever happen again. There just isn't any incentive to do such a thing. Show exclusive debuts, yes, but there's nothing to gain from making a game only available at a convention. The one example we have is Blix and that was more of a limited release than anything.

  4. I don't think we have to worry about a show exclusive homebrew simply from the fact that it is such a small community. Why would any publisher want to limit access to sales like that? We get around 30ish folks who can go to PRGE regularly and that's far more than any other show gets. While there are sales that happen to people we don't know from our corner of the collecting world at these shows, it's not like it's in the hundreds. 

     

    I think you will continue to see new games premier at shows, especially PRGE, but I doubt there's any incentive to make them exclusive. I also believe it's simply easier for a publisher to sell the 30-60 some odd copies to the group without having to worry about shipping to so many places. Just transport them to Portland 1 time and not deal with the various postal services and packaging.

  5. Happy Trails. It and Loco-Motion are effectively the same game, and since my loyalty will always go with Mattel first, I'm choosing to knock off the Activision repeat. 

     

    And before I get jumped on here...

    1. Yes, I'm aware that Happy Trails hit the market first but it is a clone of Konami's Loco-Motion, which Mattel was already working on.

    2. I do love Carol Shaw's work so this is no knock on her for programming Happy Trails. While it is very well done, I just don't see the need for two versions. 

     

    A close second would be Triple Challenge for very much the same reasons as Happy Trails. HT jumps it due to the convenience 3C provides.

    This point is probably the most significant to the majority of us.  These forums are sacred and hallowed cyberground of video gaming.  Puts my mind at ease a little......now I can resume worrying about the Detroit Lions looking bad tonight.

     

    Repeats to self........"These aren't the Same Old Lions.  These aren't the Same Old Lions.  These aren't the Same....."

    If you could have them toss a couple of touchdowns to Sam LaPorta tonight, that would be great!

    Non-Intellivision-wise, I'm two games short of a complete Wii collection (including all available manuals).

    That's an amazing feat in and of itself! There can't be that many people out there with complete Wii sets. I think I've only heard of two who both posted their collections on YouTube.

     

    What titles are you missing?

    Just happened to be on eBay this afternoon and saw this small lot of loose games for $15.00.  Had to jump on it.

    Wonder what the unlabelled cart will be.  

    My rule of thumb is that any unlabeled Intellivision cartridge I see in an auction is Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack. That way I'm always pleasantly surprised when it's something else. Seriously hoping you hit on a Spiker! I'll make you a replacement label if it is  👍

    ...you can complete the shipping (+21€) and order the next Pyramid Warp without new shipping. Total shipping for these 2 games : 37 €

    This sounds fine to me. Let me know how to complete that transaction. International shipping has always been a pain regardless of the origin and destination. Sorry to hear France has made it worse for you.
