He didn't see it as an announcement of anything. Just talking about a project that was in the works. You saw it as an announcement of a product coming to market. You both have a point. But accusing him of lying rather than offering your take on the matter was the issue. And pretending that William doing an interview on a small YT channel, where he may have been misinformed, was flat wrong or maybe even clueless about what he was talking about, is somehow on the same level as Tallarico making tons of promises, taking money and not paying it back while dragging the Intellivision name all to hell and back is a bit much. The man said he messed up and would not be doing anything of the sort going forward. If he does, you can call him out for it but acting like he's the new Video Game Grinch is just blowing things way out of proportion. Oh, and if you're going to post a quote to call the intelligence of others into question... ...maybe check the source first?

That's not a threat, simply a statement of fact. People play fast and loose when it comes to attaching names/fault/labels to others online because they have no fear of ever having to say it to their faces. Pointing this out is not some kind of "internet tough guy act". As far as William not being disrespected, I think MrBeefy stating, "IMO it was the person making the erroneous announcement who is more at fault. Denying that it was an announcement is some Tallarico level of honesty too" is a pretty clear cheap shot to throw at anyone. If Beefy wants to disagree about whether that interview constitutes an announcement, that's fine, but comparing Willy to Tallarico and the amount of shady activities he brought to bear in the Amico disaster was way out of line. William came here, posted his side of the events and apologized for his mistake. People can have a different take on things but blatantly calling him a liar was uncalled for.

I get the feeling Zendocon now regrets the timing of his post

Have you tried it in a system to see what game the board actually plays? I'm holding out for Tron Deadly Frogs

The Magic 30 has been reached!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Actually, I respect your opinion even if I happen to disagree with it but it's much more fun to boo someone

SHOVE!!!!

Should be pretty easy. DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent news! I wiffed on Fantasy and X-Ray so I'm happy to get another shot at both. Even better if I get to buy from the original publisher. Nothing against resellers, I just like to support the creators/publishers where I can.

No Idea really. I doubt they would be an international variant just because they all seem to be made in the US. I don't even know if they would be late or even original run copies to be honest.

Get in line, pal!

I have no idea what you are talking about. 😏

Let me know when someone finds another Lock 'N' Chase painted label! *hatman shoots evil eye at rev*

Reissue may have been a strong term. But it had a release in one configuration and will get another one in different packaging so it kinda fits this category.

4-Tris, BC's Quest for Tires, Blix, Blow Out, Deep Pockets, Hard Hat, King of the Mountain, League of Light, Minehunter, Missile Domination, Princess Quest, Robot Rubble, Same Game & Robots, Space Cadet, Space Cunt, Space Patrol, Space Raid, Sydney Hunter, and soon Peter the Pea have all been reissued at least once in either different packaging or by a different publisher. If all of those were not enough to crash the market, I doubt these proposed 4 games are going to have that effect either. I'm not keen on the idea to reissue games that haven't even sold out their original run, since I'd rather give folks a shot at past games they may have missed out on, but I don't believe this will have any noticeable effect on the market in general.

Even better! I'm all for an upgrade.

Yes! VARIATION TIME!!!!! 4-Tris, Smurf: Rescue in Gargemmel's Castle, Super Mine-Field and everything else I missed out on But seriously speaking, it would be cool to see a new version of 4-Tris. Call back to Homebrew #1 in big box form and give everyone 1 last chance to own the legend.

Assuming that is an original box, this copy looks cherry as hell! Photos can also make things look better than reality but this appears to be in near mint shape.

For asking $1500 you'd like to think they could at least provide an unobstructed photo of the item.

For the people out there that complain about "sniping", this is exactly why so many bidders prefer to wait till the last second. As much as I hate having to do that, you can't bid me up when I post my lone bid with 3 seconds left 🤷‍♂️

I was thinking the same thing but I don't know enough about photography to tell if I was really seeing that or if it was just the lighting in the pics. That is fantastic! Yeah that box is legit alright. My copy also has the slightly rounded top and bottom flaps even though the sides stayed nice and flat. I'm thinking that is something with the light gloss coating over the cardboard of this era where it warps the smaller pieces over time the same way we see shrinkwrap do with unopened games sometimes. Either way, this is a pretty nice condition copy of Spiker. Someone is going to be really happy with it if they can keep it under $2K, lol

Not a bad idea to get reassurance on the authenticity but I'm pretty sure this is a legit box. 1. The front of the box has some indentation along the entire left side by the end fold. 2. There is a crease in the same side at the bottom half. 3. The bottom left flap is slightly bent down. 4. On the right side of the back by the end fold, there is either a smudge or some loss of gloss about 2/3 the way up that edge. 5. There is some kind of stain or spot just under the screenshot on the back right. 6. The top left corner on the back is slightly dented in. 7. There is another smudge under the INTV Corp info at the bottom center of the back. All of that could be replicated on a reproduction box but that is a LOT of detail to have to fake. It looks like real ageing to me. I'm around 95% certain this is all original. Hard to tell on the manual or cart label though. Also, I have no connection to this item or the seller. Just my "certified cardboard expert " observations Double also, those are all pretty minor defects for a game this rare and that old. It's a solid 7/10 condition-wise assuming the manual and cart are also legit and that the sides are not crushed. I'd be asking for pictures of the box sides and the cart running on real hardware more than anything else.

Oh my! It's about to get bloody in here
