yuppicide Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I see a lot of auctions on eBay saying that the game was made by Hozer. Then I see one of his auctions that states if there's any other game you'd like to see made contact me. Think it's Hozer again or a friend of his? Look up eBay member dcbigdog.. here's a link to an auction: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 300320543083 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuppicide Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 "All of your auctions have been reported to eBay by more than one person. You are selling pirated copies of video games, which is a crime. You can face fines and/or jail time as well. Nobody in the Atari community likes Randy or Hozer or the many aliases he goes under. I am not sure if you are Randy or not or just one of his lackees (sp?) but whatever the connection is, you or him should stop it already. Enough is enough."

yuppicide Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Bah I sent a message to the guy selling Hozer stuff lol. He says: "First off I'm not "Randy", so you don't have a clue. Second, your offensive email is quite out of line." I never called him names or anything, besides I never even sent any email. eBay did lol.

Aren't all copies of Save the Whales pirates? It's not like any of the prototype repros were legit, were they? Just because they came in better packaging than Hozer doesn't make them any more legit.

Well, technically the CGE guys got the game from the developer and had permission to release the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the developer own the copyright to the game? I know sometimes it happens (think Jamie Fenton with Ms. Gorf, and that was put into the public domain anyway) but it's the rare exception, not the rule. Almost all these protos were works for hire and never should have left the lab. Only because of the turmoil surrounding the videogame crash and the subsequent layers of time and corporate bankruptcies and buyouts have these fallen into a legal no-man's land. I seriously doubt that, for instance, the Snow White repro was legit, as it tramples on both Atari's copyright and Disney's trademarks. These things just flew under the radar, that's all.

Fair enough, but in this case the developer did own the game. Furthermore, the CGE guys commissioned (paid) artist Scott Ross to develop artwork for the game...artwork which Hozer is using on the bootleg copies he's selling.

When I first went online back in 1995 Randy was online. At the time I couldn't believe the games that he was making. I happened to find a new Atari 2600 that same year with a bunch of new games at an Electonics clearance store in Branson. It kind of got me hooked on gaming again. When I first went online Randy's stuff was some of the first items I came across. I was shocked that Randy was making games that I had never heard of. I never did buy from him but he was nice enough to send me a catalog of his games and some free stuff. I know some people in the hobby don't care for him but he was nice to me. I know that there are a lot of people on this site who have bought from him. His prices direct are pretty cheap but as others have said his labels tend to fall off and I had one of his games that I bought from someone else that didn't work. I won't post his site but it is still up. His site shows pictures of his family and animals. He also has a picture of his church. I don't know if he runs the church or not but it kind of looks that way from his site. His prices are dirt cheap. I don't know how much parts are but he can't be making much if anything on the stuff. If I had to guess he makes these games because he enjoys it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
