Captain Beard Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Has anyone ever actually successfully ordered from Good Deal Games? 'Cuz I've tried twice and never received any response from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Taito have received any money for this? Why did you order from Pacman Plus (aka Robert DeCrescenzo) for Jr. Pac-man than? I think Namco didn't received any from Pac-man Plus for selling Jr. Pac-man either. It seems Good Deal games got the okay from Pac-man Plus to sell Space Invaders, Super Pac-man and other homebrew games he did. If there is a violation, Pac-man Plus (aka Robert DeCrescenzo) would be in trouble with Taito also with Space Invaders besides good deal games. Good deal game interviewed Pac-man Plus a couple months ago. There could be a business relationship between Good Deal games and Pac-man Plus as a result. I know Pac-man Plus wanted the Atariage store to sell his new games, but it hasn't happen yet. I am guessing his games are being sold at Good Deal Games because he couldn't wait.

Why didn't you question the Atariage Store having 2600 "arcade" Carts also? What happened is Good Deal games got an agreement with some homebrew authors to sell homebrew games for different systems including homebrew arcade ports. There are copyright problems, but the authors of the games trouble besides the stores that sell homebrew arcade games. That means authors selling the games including retroillucid, and Pac-man Plus would be in trouble as much Good Deal Games, Opcade games, Atariage store are.

Mayhem Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 If one of those replies is towards me, then note the date of my post. It was before any news of GDG selling SI and Super Pac-man came to light, and I was merely hypothesising why neither was in the AA store.

PacManPlus Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi Sorry for the confusion, I (hopefully) resolved the questions here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=1768205 Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you had a typo in the response although I did not specifically say the Atari Age store. I thought it was a given. Anyway, what if whomever owns the rights to Space Invaders orders a cease and desist? I suppose that puts a major dent in the home brew scene.

You can have the "look and feel" of Space Invaders it just can't be called that. If you changed the name, sprites, scoring and sounds then it should be OK.

godzillajoe Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Just wanna say that I got mine (and Super Pac Man) from GDG and they're both fantastic. I'm grateful that there are still geeks like me who refuse to grow up and throw away their Ataris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm grateful that there are still geeks like me who refuse to grow up and throw away their Ataris Geeks don't grow up. We were as mature as we needed to be when we were reading Marx in grade 8, or programming computers in grade 6, or whatever. Thus, we got to stand still in our fully realized adult form while the people around us were still trying to learn to spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, we got to stand still in our fully realized adult form while the people around us were still trying to learn to spell. If I could start over I would have learned programming first and then got my degree in electrical engineering. I enjoy working in IT Infrastructure and Security but I would have liked to contribute to the community by programming arcade ports for the various classic consoles. I don't have what it takes anymore mentally or financially to sit through classes at a community college to learn this stuff. Like most people, I'm too burned out for it and have too much other stuff to do that's not IT related and that's a welcome departure. I would make a heck of a beta tester if folks want to give me a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
